Hello,

FYI, i am actually using tabula rasa to raise my 6L BM and then i switch in town for a 5S/5L. The RS gem in the 5L armor is exactly at the same position. The level of the gem can be different (so you raise your spectre with the gem lvl 20 and you can swap with another RS gem that you wish to level up for example). It works.

Ah nice, I made a thread previously asking about it and people only said it didn't work - oh well good to have it confirmed properly. I'll edit my previous post.

IIR/IIQ gems do not work with DOT kills but all of the quantity/rarity affixes on your gear do work with them.

Are you certain that iir/iiq of the summoners gear is taken into effect when using BM specters? I see a significant decrease in iir when using them compared to using other none DOT specters.

I can't help it but the Tentacle Miscreation video is just impressing. It's kinda hard to believe that any other spectre would top this :) Seems like they'd be pretty much unstoppable with life leech.

i have lvl 83 necro
I run 4L BM's they have no iiq/iir at all it must be stuck at base iv tested it a lot
it seems to be their only flaw.
I can kill piety in 30 sec or so


also mine almost never die i have them linked with minion res/life and burning damage
anything else it worthless.
the main advantage to running BM's is you have a lot of extra points to spend you don't need any minion damage nodes and you can skip minion passives in center of tree and make your self stronger.

you will need to be strong so the bm don't die you have to run at all baddies head on and run around them spread the flames they don't like to stand in toxic clouds

zombies
runn plus 2 helm
life/restance/life leach

IIR/IIQ on gear applies to burning degen: http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/229054

Obviously rng is rng but I see a significant increase in rares/uniques when I have on my IIQ/IIR gear (about 70IQ/260IR) vs pure defensive gear with no IR/IQ when running BM spectres.

Idk I see no diff i was testing for a wile with adding 100 then taking 100 off
in the fourm post you linked he was talking about player dot effects minions are not players
i know minions have your iir/iiq but somthing seems wrong

Do my rarity/quantity mods apply to minion kills?

Your minion's kills are asigned to you, and thus use your IIQ/IIR. This is why you still get flask charges and experience from their kills as well.
If your minions have IIQ/IIR from the support gems, those are also applied in addition to your static bonuses.
For the record, I have just tested this again, and it definitely still works.

The bug you are probably noticing is minion instability damage not attributing the kills to minions.

Minion instability does assign the kills to the minions. It just doesn't deal actual damage.

there were a loot bug ago or "some"

here u have a little overview why he stated this.

http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/264181 was in discussion

still searching someone who can translate my gibbersih orcish from page 1 into decent "guide english"

:)

I can recommend Merveil's Chosen as spectres (atleast at my lvl 55-60). Their freeze breath works really well together with zombies (and they cast a curse - vulnerability i believe). I think damage is ok (not on par with the best), but still nice and good with maybe frenzy ape or fireball bombing spectres.

Watch this new video I made showing burning miss creations was on easy map but you get the idea of the power of them here
