Even if instead of nerfing them, they buffed them with 30% more damage, they still wouldn't be remotely close to a strong GG reave/coc/disc/inc/cyclone, etc -build.

And they didn't just nerf it by 30% less damage. they ALSO decreased the amount of projectiles they casted, by 2.. Like that affects solo exiles getting 1 shotted. " this wasnt ment as a summoner nerf guys, JKJK"
If that was true, then surely you would've compensated for the nerf.

So now we have to get, more damage at cost of survivablitiy and replace a gem slot for lmp/gmp so we end up with even less damage -_-

Devourers were, and still are alot more dangerous than revenants, why not nerf them aswell? Infact, why not nerf every single monster in the entire game by giving them 99% less damage, so that we all can facetank uber atziri with white gear, huh? Aslong as it's not a nerf to summoner, it should be ok, right?

GJ to the retards that went into a4/high maps without gear

I hate to disappoint you kuling but knowing GGG, there is no way they will un-nerf revenants since GGG made it quite clear how little they care about summoners (but ironically release summoner MTX)since they believe everyone is running SRS(as if that is even a real summoner build) and face tanking every challenge with no issue.

I wanted to ask why we can't just leave this thread in peace, but I suppose raising dead stuff is too ingrained into our summoner selves.

GGG has a staff member who plays a summoner (with spectres) intensively. Chris said that this person was also kinda the trigger for the spectre mictrotransaction.

They do care about summoners. They just believe that summoners are in a pretty good spot currently, and I agree with that.

I kind of wonder why people were raging about this nerf. Personally, I'm actually playing a summoner myself this time, and it was absolutely impossible to not see that coming. I experimented a bit with spectres (not following any guides, it's more fun for me to find things myself), found the pre-nerf revenants, used them, breezed through the content, and kept saying to my friends: "This cannot be intended - it's fun for a while, but it does not even feel like actually playing the game. It's way too strong, they'll have to correct that."

When they finally did correct it, the fix was of a much smaller magnitude than I expected. I still use revenants, and I still consider them extremely strong. In fact, in terms of build variety, I think it would have been better to nerf them more. I still would like to explore other spectre setups, like evangelists or sentinels, but the revenants are just so strong that they don't give me a reason to. Though as a player, I do of course enjoy having those very strong revenant spectres available.

They are still, along with Rakangos, one of the strongest monster types in the game. And they are still very dangerous to players. Un-nerfing them would be rather silly.

They feel quite out of balance with some of the other monster types still.

Are you all on drugs?

I play 5 of those fuckers @ 208%dmg increase. Assisted by a 33% dmg animate guardian



I dualcurse enfeeble and conductivity and I can assure you those fuckers wreck alot of maps.


My previous bubble dude summoner came not even close

Yet as a summoner you can do every map mod on budget, try a reflect as reave/ coc/ disc...
That was the reason to run one some time ago, didn't run one in 2.0 yet, but all my friends are stil using revenants over other mobs. In fact I would love to see more diversity among the used mobs for spectres.
