[Strongest Solo Variation: Projectile Madness Spectres] LMP/GMP Ice Spear 2x Totem 2x Curse 3x Traps

http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/309573/page/1/#p2681477

selling my set, bored of this build

I didn't read through the 147 pages of this post but I wanted to know what the normal tooltip DPS is for the totem at level 49. I have the GMP linked with 7% ice spear and increased crit and spell totem.

Only 67.9 DPS at the moment. I'm following this build.

Playing Spectre variation at the moment, and wondering if it's really the best build for group use. There are some mods which aren't very conducive to playing with spectres, and I'm having trouble really keeping them alive without slowing down the group. Is there any other variation that would be better for group use either dmg wise or cc wise? I realize that I'm not particularly contributing to overall group dps at this point..

when does conversion trap become useful? I ask because i have them both right now and honestly in lv 66 maps fire trap seems to be far better. In higher level maps will conversion traps become more useful? I'm considering going 2x fire trap and leave conversion behind.

I've found the conversion trap INCREDIBLY useful. I'm currently level 70.

Here's my build @ level 70

My Gear:

With that gear, I'm around 3500 ES and can have +75 resist for any element when I switch between belts & rings when I need to. I swapped in the 15% ice spear gem a few levels ago, so it's not leveled up to my level and I can definitely tell. It works for now with my spectres, but I figured the faster projectiles was worth the damage trade-off for now.
The level 62 Fire Spectres from Solaris merciless are still useful in maps, but I find the blue variation MUCH stronger. The worst enemies for me are the Flickerstrike dudes. In particular there was a orange FlickerStrike dude in a level 70 map and he killed me a few times.
As for Conversion trap, I find that I'm always using it. It's incredibly useful with +increased duration. I throw that on the Yellow bosses and the strongest enemies in a pack and then they provide the meat shield while I summon up some totems and skeletons. Often times, by throwing the conversion on a yellow boss, all the enemies will focus on him and kill him so I don't have to. Meanwhile, my minions, spectres and totems are shooting at the guys that are trying to kill the enemies I converted. At this level with +increased duration, it lasts 13 seconds. That's a LONG time.

The zombies are still useful as well; I find that the times I die are when I forget to keep track of how many zombies are still alive.

I would say that the the CI build is much harder to keep minions alive because I've only kept 1 minion health flask in my belt and it's hard to remember to keep drinking it because my health orb is always "full".

I think I've really started to slow down because my gems aren't keeping up with my leveling.
I also plan on getting the +30 dex node by the Templar to help max my bear trap & GMP gems.
As you can imagine, one of the biggest problems is choosing which skills to hotkey. It's tough because I need 3 for summoning, 2 for curses and 1 totem, leaving only room for 1 trap.

I will try to ditch the zombies soon and work in the bear trap or fire trap. I'm really not sure. I've been trying to save up to buy a 5L armor with 500+ ES. That would really help me out.

Well I don't use zombies because they are so squishy but if you really want to use them and you want one more trap I would suggest not putting spectres on hotkeys. They don't need to be casted all the time, so when you cast them, just swap them for another hotkey.. :)

You should really try to get a 5L and put Elemental Proliferation into it. It helped me soo much! You basically freeze the whole screen with it. :)

& item build

Hi!

How do i start with this build. Could you please show a skilltree with the first points up to AB?

Would this build work on softcore as a FULL out rarity find character, im talking rarity/quantity find stuff on every single slot except weapons/shield and chest

With this gear would it also work on 76+ maps?(the solo variation)

You would need to go for a lowlife build to benefit from wanderlust aswell
