Got My tabula have started trying everything as a spectre
Kitava's heralds prob the most hilarious. but i don't think they will be good enough.

The issue with most of the new mobs is they all seem to have 2-3 different attacks/spells. It's too difficult to scale all the abilities separately so you are left with picking one ability and hoping it works. This often leaves the frustration of them not using that ability often enough, or not at all.

Sentinels do one think and do it well, easy to scale, consistent AI it's a no-brainer.

There is potential there but it looks like it could be another expansion of sentinels. Will have to see what Acts 8-10 have to bring.

Im just sad that we dont have persistent spectres yet, even thos they talked about adding it. oh well hope its there at release

will "elemental damage with attacks" suport work with minions that have hatred? phys minions that is, like phys spectres, zombies skellys and srs?

Yes if the minion is using attacks it'll boost the elemental part of the damage.

Does anybody know if Galvanized Ribbons always or at least frequently shock on hit? Are they any good as utility spectres? (they sure are horribly noisy...)
thank you

Has anyone tried or got an idea what happens when you equip Legacy Mon'Tregul's Grasp and the new one as dual wield?

More HP, More Damage or nothing happens?

Starting to add location, let me know if you guys have a spectre of choice that you like to run that is not included yet and also your favorite links!

Excuse me, three more questions please.

1. Carnage Chieftains: Can they also be found in Tropical Island maps, or only their related cousins without the frenzy ability?(Or can they be obtained there if they are first summoned in A2 Fields?) I find that they die too easily in their original state.
2. Carnage Chieftains: Will they continue to spam their Frenzying ability if the blood-magic gem is taken out after their summoning?
3. Galvanic Ribbons: Does their channeled lightning ability reliably shock? They can be found easily in Quay and Bazaar.

Thank you

You need to test it out yourself since it's unlikely anyone's using these spectres.

Tropical Island has Animal Type monsters so it is very likely the apes are spawning via desecrate if you bring them.

Edit: Carnage Chieftain are using their frenzy warcry, however sacrificing a spectre slot for them is questionable

Haven't seen them there. The best map to get them I think is the Thicket map. They almost always spawn naturally there and the monster level is decent enough.

I don't notice a difference when I had them linked with blood magic. They did used to just stand still and kill themselves spamming their frenzy skill waaay back, which is problably what people remember.

Thanks much!
I checked out Chieftains without BM, they seem quite useless. With BM there are almost always 3 frenzy charges up, without it there is sometimes 1 and often none.
I was considering altering my zombie build and speccing out of the dedicated spectre ascendancy point (Soul Weaver), just having them for utility, and then I doubt that t6 chieftains could survive AoE in T13+ maps. Oh well.
