GGG, why did you change spectre corpse summoning with desecrate?

Do you have any idea how frustrating it is to lose an incredibly fragile support minion like a host or carnage chieftain and having to go all the way back to acts 2 and 7 to get them back?

I just lost all my spectres in the middle of a ravaged blight map, including an arena master and pale seraphim. I have absolutely no way of getting them back myself, because for some weird reason, I am no longer allowed to desecrate their corpses after they die. Now I have to rely entirely on "spectre banks" and hoping like hell one is available with the spectres I need.

Please restore the QoL of being able to desecrate corpses of spectres even after they die.

MFers found strength in their Afflictions. They became reliant on them. I am not so foolish.

Yeah agree, hasn't this been an issue since 3.13? That's the last time I played a summoner and I remember the chieftains dying all the time despite being linked minion life & resist supports.

I'm not complaining about the fragility of the chieftains. They've always been terribly weak without minion life support. However, this issue with the corpse summoning is new. Like, 3.16 new.

Aww I see, yeah that sounds bad. Should make a bug report maybe? Unless it was mentioned in the patch nots that this is intended.

QoL features are and always will be a mystery to GGGT. You are lucky if they improve on this in about 5 to 6 years.

FYI. For some reason the specter type that you have locked to your desecrate gem is locked to the gem and GEAR POSITION.

If you remove the gem for any reason (i.e. corrupting for 21, changing gear around, etc.) it will LOSE the specters.

It's been in the game forever and its annoying.
It may be related to the pvp char removal. Players were using pvp chars as a specter bank, maybe ggg was doing that as well for desecrate.

It would be game breaking since portals sometimes close if you leave your ho.
I've been trying to work out whats been happening with my specters, they seem be randomly unavailable in my hideout even though they've been summoned previously. Gems have remained unmoved.

As an example, I have Carnage and Host summoned from my hideout, I loose one of these and return to my hideout to re-summon, it's no longer available. It's as if the gem keeps updating itself with what ever specter you have summoned and removes anything else. Pretty sure that's not how it used to work but I haven't played since Ritual...

It worked differently
even people that joined your hideout had their corpses added to your hideout desecrate

Just as well I'm using easy to get specters, I'd be pretty pissed if I lost something that had taken a age to get.
