https://pastebin.com/MvQQDYUS Patebin link to my current build/gear(ignore the gear as it's just what I have found so far to fill resists and such as needed).

Wish For Death Cluster is mainly what i was looking at getting on the curse cluster tho if i go back to blasphemy setup Forbidden Words will be nice to have.

Life for Death cluster is a must if you dont take Righteous Army to keep your Spectre's alive through Blood Magic use.

Yea, the reason for grabbing the curse spectres is get the curses out there with out needed either Blasphemy or Arcanist Brand. The curses they cast still trigger Profane Bloom and Malediction though! Also, they can be rather curse happy once you get enough minion cast/attack speed + flesh offering. My minions get going to fast i end up using Convocation just to pull stuff back to me and keep them from running off hehe.

So far the only time I have come close to dieing has been because i forgot to clear Bleeding or Poisons from my character.

Also for anyone wondering why i dont have Spellslinger - Bladefall - Despair
is because it's less reserved mana to keep them on their own oddly enough.

Edit: Bladefall Spectre's dont work for summoning AW's. Warlord's Mark Oak's Spectre's didn't work well because it's a curse on hit and they only hit 1 target at a time...

Going to look for a defensive spectre maybe. Found out poisons really hurt in Act 8 Sewers lol.

Grabbed Golem Commander on the tree and started running a Stone Golem along with the Carrion Golem. Really helped my survivability vs DoT's heh.

Thinking maybe a Holy Flame totem spectre for consecrated ground + curse immunity if it works.

Including the Edit, you have a really cool setup there Guru1619! (Based on the post. The pastebin didn't work for me. I'll try again tomorrow. Spellslinger is sexy. I'm glad you're having fun messing with the build.

Good question! Not 100% sure But until i get to maps and can check it on a hexproof map(not sure where else i could test it easily, if anyone has a suggestion or can test it themselves speak up!) I'd assume so as it does work for the explosion part. Tested this with taking despair off spellslinger so the spectre's were the only way to get curses out and stuff was still going boom(i know it just says curse and not specifically curses cast by our characters but im being hopefull). Which would hopefully mean it works against Hexproof too.

This is going to be difficult to test as apparently you need to see if Hexproof mobs still explode or not when killed in oder to see if the cursed mobs are being affected as Profane Bloom is currently bugged and curses still show as not working on hexproof enemies but are actually being affected by them even though they still show a lock icon showing that they dont. THis may have been fixed tho, so keep it in mind. Can find plenty of posts about this with a simple google search of 'poe Profane Bloom bugged'.

Yea, it's a cool idea and sorry if it seems like im taking over the reply area with information and sutff. Really do enjoy experimenting with builds, just gotta find the time to play more to test stuff out hehe.

Hmm not sure why the pastebin wouldn't work, i know a few days ago pastebin was deleting PoE pastebins if they were being made anonymously.

https://pastebin.com/wzjvYp1R another one to try either way.

So i was checking for a build to play after getting my freezing pulse totems to end game. I love the idea of this but was wondering what you think about doing it with the Chains of Command chest and a decked out animate guardian?

Will do on letting you know how it goes. I'm still looking into the AG gear. Might do it on standard first though as i have a full set of gear for the AG though i might have to replace the boots and gloves as there the extra curse boots and gloves with assassin's mark and despair on hit. I am even thinking about a set of 4 white socket Triad grip gloves to make it 100% chaos damage for an easy reflect immune set up as all the damage is from the poison.

If i did that there would be no point in going Occy would work better as necro at that point.

So i could swap out the boots for some Victario's Flight, is the gloves im stuck on just get some good rares with life and resist?

Just wondering if there's a video of the gameplay I've over looked. The guide is amazing , but for a old guy like me , pictures speak a thousand words. Thanks in advance.
