Desecrate can now only create monsters that are in the instance it is used in.

Rather than troll, it's usually beneficial to actually reply intelligently. Consider this example: accidentally running an ele reflect map without realizing it until it's too late. Yeah you messed up, so go get more specters right? Oh wait, with GGG's new method, you'd have to hope you found another map that had them actually physically spawn at the same level or you're losing performance.

The bottom line is they added one QoL change and took away another and replaced it with a WORSE option.

had to go and get personal, anyway.
how do you even accidentally run rip mods...


just think of you specters as playing hardcore lol.

Yeah I think you read that wrong, "Spectres no longer have their level reduced to the level of the area they are in. Instead, the level of a Spectre is now based on the lowest of either the level of the monster they were raised from, or the maximum level allowed by the skill gem used."

It's the lowest of either the the zone you raised them from (so raising from act6 or act10 would be rip) or the maximum level allowed by the skill gem used, either way its the lowest level between the two.

I rushed to type my comment and left out the scaled by skill gem (which is entirely my fault omitting a major part of the patch notes). I didn't intend to mislead anyone. I was just rushing to type my poorly written comment while my oven was screaming at me to turn it off. Currently, the skill gem doesn't have spectre scaling so we won't know the current scaling until it actually releases. I could be reading it completely wrong and it chooses the minimum rather the maximum.

So lets assume we do summon a TV and Wickerman at Act 6 and Act 10. They'll be the level they were raised from. This benefits a level 1 skill gem. However, in the rather non-detailed patch notes says it's also scaled based on Skill Gem Level. Would the max skill gem level be level 70? 80? 100? We don't know.

Lets, assume the worst and it only scales to level 70. You summon a level 45 TV would it be scaled to 70? Or stay at the minimum? The patch notes doesn't say which it would prefer but leaves me thinking it was maximum level of the skill gem. I can be 100% wrong because the wording is iffy. That is a good and bad depending on your situation.

However, we don't know the current skill gem cap and how much level per skill gem assuming it only keeps to the spectre's level based on summon or if it scales to skill gem. If we're going for worst case scenario I would assume we would need to use Empower Support to squeeze as much as we can while we get sent back to the stone ages to map spam for our desired spectres.

It just happens, people make mistakes. Specters die. It's really not the point. The point is that they're making them actually harder to obtain instead of easier. This is no longer a patch that's worth anticipating as a summoner. We can only hope they realize their error and remedy it.
