support!

You say that once you reach a certain point, 1 IIQ = 2.5 IIR, but what about before that point?

Is there a reason you use IIR on Zombies/Spectres over IIQ?

Also, is there a reason you do Piety runs instead of Dominus runs? I find I can do Dominus runs a lot faster, and that he [seems] to drop like 3x as much items as Piety...

I think his using BoR so he can 6-L snapshot his spectre with the chest. If your just concerned about zombies putting them into a tabula is actually better because of the quality bonuses.

Anyways trying to figure out why your using avian retches? do they have some kind of effect I don't know about? Their damage is subpar.

Their dmg is absolutely insane, what are you talking about? Just one projectile from them oneshots champions and chunks rares. When multiple projs hit, stuff just disintegrates. If they use their ranged attack at something at fairly close range all 5 projs will hit and just wreck stuff.

Another aspect is they scale with auras, I know hatred works since added fire gem works and I would venture to say flat ele auras work as well. I could be wrong on that but either way it's very strong since the minion leech passives are life leech instead of physical life leech so any and all damage is contributing to their survivability.

Not to mention with desecrate you can feed them ammo. So they have an endless supply of corpses to rain hell upon enemies.


I've been running a Retch since the patch and still can't get over how crazy the shotgun damage is. I love seeing rares/bosses lose massive amounts of their health in one attack.

What is the recommended leveling spec for the new patch? I noticed his new build takes pure ES, and is that viable for leveling? It feels really weird to skip health nodes, but maybe ES is good enough. Also I am assuming that CI is required if you don't have the unique chest?

Hey there, thanks a lot for great guide and fast updates.

One quick question tho, I see the "filthy rich 1.0.6" section recommends summoning miscreations with minion dmg/mine/trap/burning dmg/aoe. Is there anything that changed (scaling of passives ?) that makes burning/minion dmg better than minion life for miscreations, or is it due to scaling with using the dual midnight bargains, or anything else i'm missing ?

More generally, what's considered the best DPS measuring technique for miscreations ? Timing Hillock ?
Cool you added the spoilers! :D
ur awesome

Absoultely agree with this. Their dmg is crazy. And when u summon a few corpses and cast flesh offering, they go into super saiyan mode and just melt everything they touch ;)
1 question:

What does the increased duration support do for avian retches, since I saw u replaced conc. effect and GMP for inc. aoe and inc. duration? Do they still work fine without GMP?
