Killed shaper too but I had to swap to tukohama vanguards because shaper was dying too slow

I had no problems with shaper with solar guards thb, sure its not super amazing but it was fast enough for sure. I prefer swapping 2 gems and killing it a bit slower than having to swap spectres, socket colours in chest + alot of gems.

wow i think i got rly lucky, offered 3 ex for this and got it. thats good right?

Yea I want to say that is worth atleast 20 exalt. You can only use essence on white items. Run flammability and your good to go with this helm, really good.

Edit: I suspect immolate is extremely strong for bossing from comparing abyss jewel flat fire damage to minions to the amount of fire damage immolate adds. You won't see any difference while clearing the map tho because everything instantly dies anyways.

Should probably mention that Immolate will do nothing at all as long as he keeps using Elemental Focus. Need to replace ele. focus (in at least one setup) with a lot weaker gem to make use of Immolate. Don't know if thats worth it, but might still be abit more damage.

You can just replace Ele focus with controlled destruction for the Golems.

I know that, you know that. But don't ask me how often I have gotten the question of "why does my HoI+Onslaught+CoH+AssassinsMark not proc?!"

Always the same answer, don't use Ele. Focus on your clearing setup. There are just many people that don't get that interaction of Ele. Focus and no elemental status ailments.

Oh true, never really gave much thought on that. Played quite a bit of Wander and the KB setup never runs Ele Focus. Didn't realize this was the reason!

i'm kinda noob so i didnt know this at all :D thanks
so controlled destruction instead of ele focus will be better?

Could do that in your golem setup, yea. Should overall work out to be a boost, even if controlled destruction is weaker than Ele. Focus. Would have to use PoB to figure out how much difference there is.

But, because clearing really is no problem, you could make use of Immolate while also using Ele. Focus in your Golem setup:


To boost single target it would be better to replace the ele. focus of your spectres, because the Golems do the most damage against bosses. Maybe replace your spectre ele. focus with pierce? This way your golems would still have ele. focus, but also get the full boost from Immolate because your spectres ignite everything, and you actually boost your spectres clearspeed by quite a bit with Pierce. But you just have to test these kind of things, this is all just theory.

Yea replace ele focuis with controlle destruction on your golem setup and make sure your running flammability. dont change your spectre setup. Controlled destruction is pretty close to ele focus in terms of damage, only 5% less damage.
