This patch is garbage for summoners

Seriously, the revenants arent worth the effort of doing the lvl 70 instance, to find 2-3 of them, to do the instance to find 2-3 of them again so you have them as specters. Seriously, these guys are weak AF now, they shoot 3 bolts instead of 5, at way less damage and less cast speed. WTH are you thinking GGG? How is a summoner supposed to run maps or kill any unique boss above lvl 75? Forget about fighting quests bosses in a4 merc like piety and malachi... You will need a partner to do that for you, for SURE. Man I am so upset about this garbage, 80+ hours on this guy and now he cant do what he was made to do, farm....

The rev nerf was brutal yes; Very severe to the point where they will NOT be used over lantern bros or alchemist even.

Or bubble bros for that matter.

They basically removed them from the game in subtle form.

But you are literally overdoing this on your feedback I can do ANYTHING with other spectre's like I dunno what your build your doing but I can still do 77+ maps for that matter with any spectre but the revs now.

Whats your setup, stream it so I can see how you do it if its possible.

GGG want you to play SRS. It's still on top of the efficiency and power pyramid amongst other.

Id love to see that vid my self, my summoner who i have spent al my currency and time on just went tits up... i have always supported GGG even funded the game, and threw in a lot of support for this exp. But to be honest, if they maintain this nerf afther so mutch testing and time to balance things before launch, this will be my last funding. I have always had faith in GGG developers, but this far exeeds even blizz nerfing of good skills in D3.... GG devs...

My summoner still good. All about having a build that can switch out various support gems for different spectre setups. Can't put all your eggs in one basket.

wait wuut? do the map to have specters?

man, use desecrate to spawn dead mobs until you spawn a dead revenant... you don't have to do the map to have your specters

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.

I love how he said that despite the fact .. that is exactly what it did. "we nerfed the revenants damage by over 50% but its ok since we didnt mean to ruin them as specters.

how is HALF not going to ruin them as specters?

da fuck are you smoking chris?

looks like is back to 50k chain split arrow and 800k coc. way to neuter a fun mob ggg.


god i am so sick of this crap.

With Awakening release, I hope everyone at GGG understood there has to be viable options in ACT4 for spectre, due to zone level mechanics. If you put 4 casters in the whole act and 3 of them are crap, 4th OP, nobody cares if you put the 4th guy back in line with rest, as long you do one of the next:

- boost others casters in act 4 to be viable spectres or
- make their level not affected by the area level (implicit by the targeted corpse level) but only by gem level.

This has got to be my least favorite patch by far. Why dont they just tie in spectre stats with player level so the nubs getting killed by the mobs on maps can get their nerf mob style, while not gimping every summoner at the same time. You are level 81? Your spectre is level 75, cool deal?
