Hi, i was looking for ur build, and i find it interesting but why u dont have raise spectre in the femurs ? with the +2 gem, a lvl 21 raise spectre and an empower lvl 3, raise spectree is lvl 25, it will give 8% more dmg and 8% more life than a single lvl 21 gem. I would rather prefer put Empower than spell echo, its not like u dont have the time to cast 2 times with 8 zombies facetanking and it give no dmg to raise spectre.

6L femurs is a huge waste of currency, it's a pretty big waste just to 5L a Femurs. A 6L chest is much cheaper and provides more damage. Also the extra damage is not required. Echo is quality of life choice. It also guarantees your cloud will spawn where you want. Without echo there is the chance at times your spectre will move from the original location before casting a new one.

The damage from boosting raise spectre is viable but that massive currency involved is not worth it. Its a huge sink and only a tiny select few of players can waste it without caring.

The damage the build has in a regular 6L is pretty freaking solid as is. I have not even been able to swap minion life for rapid decay either yet and I already clear all content easily.

Tldr: yes it is a boost but you are asking many many exalts in gear, one being a not very popular staff, for 16% more damage to a build that doesn't require it. Echo is quality of life.

Since Raise Spectre costs so much, I think helping Alira in normal is a pretty good option here. The skill tree isn't too skill point heavy, so I personally am gonna help her out for once :')

PLZ update build-items-gems-juwels etc...thx

updated the gear, nothing crazy special. Have not seen a reason to upgrade anything as I already farm T15's all map mods with what I am wearing.

Jewels: Life + minion life + Minion damage and if you need dex, the int to dex jewel.

Build looks very interesting. Anyone playing it on EHC that could give some feedback/tweaks they made to make this build more HC-viable?

Been playing this build the past two days, and I've had no troubles so far with it on EHC. The way I built it has led it to play a lot like BF mines did. Not the best clear speed, but it is rather safe, does a lot of damage, and has no worry about map mods. My setup definitely isn't budget, but this build is definitely doable as hybrid. (Ignore Spirit Offering)



You can alternatively run a quiver (Silverbough for +1) and a Soul Strike as CI. You can run Clayshaper for more damage, but a high cast speed wand feels really nice/lets you tack on some more mana regen.

Cool stuff. Thanks!

No problem! Should also mention that I'm running two 8% Unending Hungers. I'm not actually sure if they're increasing the aoe of the caustic cloud tbh.......

edit: just played around with it and still not really sure......Beacon of Corruption isn't a "skill", which is what Unending Hunger claims to modify...moreso it doesn't change the aoe modifier in raise spectres tooltip

Tested with 3, and I believe you're right. Well, it frees up a jewel slot for me, then.

So far the only guardian I've downed reliably has been the Pheonix; with Mino pretty likely on a 6L (so far the damage has been too much) Which puts the build a bit behind SRS on the very top end. Chim and Hydra have been a bit nightmarish for me. May start fitting different defenses to see if I can get something to stick.

I'm a bit worried about my damage without a 6L as well. Might grab a 6l Carnal for like 100c and craft that instead of a regalia.

What are you minion life/damage modifiers on raise spectre? mine are 261/221
