No problem! Pledge Greater Spell Echo stacks with Spell Echo.

"

When combined with Spell Echo Support, it adds a 3rd repeat with a total of 105% more Damage. The effective DPS multiplier (including the more cast speed) of a 20/0 Spell Echo Support is 1.53, Greater Spell Echo Support effective DPS multiplier is 1.35, and of both together is 2.33.

Also get 150% increased AOE.

Great guide Kay, thank you for putting it together.

How difficult is it to transition from the Base Build to Eldritch Battery & Mind over Matter (or one of the other build variants?). Lots of orbs of regret?

Can the base build do all content (except elemental reflect maps) or do we need to switch to one of the other variants? For deep delving for example, I assume the base build would be limited?

Base build can do all content.

EB & MoM is the easiest upgrade.

It's only 2 regrets orbs difference if you compare the level 100 trees.




For delve 600+, the limit is DPS because you will probably get kill in one hit. So you go full DPS mode. I didn't include it in the Base Build, though. But it's in the EB & MoM build. You can still use the strategy in base build.

Base Build - defense mode vs DPS mode


EB & MoM - defensive vs DPS mode

*Not Shaper DPS

Hello, I am a player from Russia, sorry for my bad English, I really liked your build. But unfortunately none of my countrymen can tell me or answer my questions, I really hope for you.
Questions:
1. What is the fastest way to achieve four spectres? I understand you need a LVL 27 gem? What the best items to get/craft in the first place?
2. With the armor removed +1 MAXIMUM NUMBER OF SPECTRA or now only drop in the mine? There is no other way to get this property?
Ps Thank you in advance=))

Level 25 gem (Gem 21 +2 from ascendancy +1 from boots +1 from amulet). or Delve +1 body armour. I think gem level is faster because delve takes time for people to find the special encounter and then to sell it.

The armour is still delve drop only.

Hi
I've decided to try this build.
Kayella, do you think that it'll possible to try these bastards in action:
Baranite Thaumaturge ?
Here few stats and a short movie :

Maybe with a new support gem Second Wind it'll be tasty....
Greetings

They might be too slow. It takes them 4 second to cast the geometry spell. I try to test them this weekend though!

I have some other spectres I want to try out as well.

War Maiden and Angered Ancestor.

PoH can be an expensive transition early league. Unless by "midgame" you mean midleague? (I assumed midgame meant by level 80-85, which I wouldn't recommend).

But yes, you still use spell echo as a support gem in PoH as the 2 do stack. PoH damage (and range as Kay mentioned earlier) is insane. You're just squishy compared to all the block and ehp recovery from W&S.

I am wondering if we still use skeletons leveling even though it got 40% damage nerf

I think SRS will be better now.

Thank you very much, but immediately the question is, in POB I am taking off the amulet, but the gem level does not change, is it a POB bug?

It wasn't working last league with PoB either. You'll want to install the LocalIdentity fork for that.

SRS is probably better, but you get spectres soon enough in A3, so it'll slow things down only slightly.

Is there any good Spectre before we can get Slave Driver? I already tried Flame sentinel for leveling but they feel a bit weak

I've just uploaded a build guide video for the league starter. I tried to keep the video short. And sorry about my terrible mic quality.

PoB is https://pastebin.com/6ZtHJuW8

Is this PoB tree different from what you have in the guide?
