You would do Lantern bros / alchemist with a knitted horror.

i have srs for single target. they 1shotted every whitepack in 77 maps and now they can hardly kill packs in 74 maps so sad.

lantern bearers are cool but they fuck up most people's game performance if i use gmp ^^'

"Flame sentinels?Carrion queens?Singing sirens?All cool choices :)"

not even close to comparable imho.

well then you will have to do flame sentinals then in your case.

Totally didn't see this one coming eh...i wonder you guys raising them from level appropriate content or taking them in from lower content?

I guess flame sentinels/lanterns/evangelist are the way to go if they no longer perform sufficiently.

Also honorary mention of knitted horrors and croaking chimerals.

If only devourers would actually have a decent AI...they hit pretty damn hard but there stupid as fuck, not to mention there melee/ranged so you need global gems to improve them, which could be done in 2.0 now i imagine.

Peace,

-Boem-

Edit : meh they lost 30% and 2 projectiles and suddenly there worthless....

you can raise them from merc act 4's crystal vein

honestly I still prefer evangelist even before the nerf. They have a shield that makes you invulnerable to everything. very nice for 'oh shit' moments (serpents packs' piercing spikes for instance).

knitted horrors with gmp is good too, pretty much provides whole area bleeding for your zombies linked with bloodlust to kill.

Respec to SRS and use EW necros as spectres

also, tentacle miscreants anyone?

Version 2.0.0g: Stygian Revenants now fire three lightning projectiles (down from five), and deal 30% less damage with them. Their revived minions now explode for 20% less damage. These monsters were extremely efficient at killing players. This purpose of this change is to prevent mass extinction of exiles, rather than to nerf them as spectres.

If this is the case, why not make it so Revenant spectres aren't affected by the nerf?

This nerf was too much, summoners dps now suxx ass -.-

yeah i was asking this before too.

im currently trying alot of other spectres. the flame sentinels dps is just really bad. and i mean REALLY bad compared. they only work in open zones and the build in fork means that their base damage isnt really high. useless in every dungeonlike map.

im trying arcmages which are ok'ish since they stack pretty consistent. i just dont want to go back to meleesplash srs :l

SRS still OP as shit with minimal gear.

i dont get what kind of people work at GGG. when they nerf something they don't just make it not strong anymore they make it completely fucking unusable. for burning miscreants when they nerfed them you could not even take 1 of them in an equal level zone in a 6link with full 20/20 gems or even 21/20 and could not even kill white trash(even small mobs) in an even close to reasonable time frame. hell you could add a full 20/20 equiped chaos bear + the BM aura and still not kill white mobs ok. I just don't get their logic. its not like revs were op. they were just strong other ppl I group with can easily do just as much if not more damage but their builds have alot more control and can apply damage easier. they don't rely on summons who can easily die if out of position then go to another zone to resummon. also the revs AI is terrrrrrrrrible they can easily just randomly walk in the middle of combat or melee someone for 10 secoonds.
