similar to how there's no mention of spectres no longer needing Lifetap support anymore which also got implemented this league.

You mean you can replace Lifetap support with Clarity aura?

I don't know the exact details, but from what I do understand, lifetap is no longer needed. If I had to guess, spectres got more mana or their abilities no longer use it.

They dont seem to have mana anymore and the Mass Frenzy is a pure 6 second cooldown ability.

spell echo is a must for spectre buffs. I tried it and being loving it.

About summoning yeah it sucks A LOT. At least let us CHOOSE what spectre we want to replace when summoning etc. Or have a list that pop up and u select the 3-4 u want etc. Lots of good ideas I saw during the years but they never listen.

Judging by the fact that no one from GGG has responded to the question I posted in Tech spport several days ago, asking if the desecrate thing is a bug or intentional, I'm guessing it's intentional. Nice of them to let us know up front.

I used to love playing Minion/Specters now it's just another build archetype I don't feel like playing.

yeah spectre summoning is a PAIN. If they rly wanted or bothered they could easily have a ui that u could choose witch spectre u want (ofcorse u need to unlock first similar to crafts) and summon with desecrate. Rn if u unnequip by mistake or they die have fun going for them again to ressumon.

Game is more and more go meta or go home. Rn they introduced a new toy and for sure they want u to play with this new toy. Ur not allowed to play anything else.

Just to add on here:

In hideout with carnage chieftain, host chieftain, and demon harpy spectres.

I desecrate to have all 3 corpses out, pull out the spectre gem, quality it, resummon spectres, no issue yet.

Walk into Alva temple, pull out gem to corrupt it in gem room. Put it back into gear. Desecrate 100 times, the corpses do not exist.

Go back to hideout, they are gone from there as well, as everyone has noticed.

Apparently, corpses added to the area pool via spectre gem reset the moment you pull out the gem, OR you leave an area, including hideout.

This is *awful*.

Just logged in to take a look at the tree... not a fan. Then saw this... Looks like GGG does not want me to play in this league either.

LOL...

Never skipped two leagues in a row. not looking great for this game... shame as it used to be fun.

NS

i tested this on STD and on Scourge.

my HO remembers my spectres even if i kill them on a map or even log out and swap characters

also my old spectre banks work on STD

so it has to be a bug but it's not affecting everyone


e: so i guess the question is what similarities do you guys have?


-same spectres (mine are slave drivers as always)

-same piece of gear that my characters dont have?

-mtx(lol, that would be a funny one)

This is a different issue.

If you corrupt the gem it will be "replaced". Basically you receive a new gem with the corruption result overwriting the old one.
Even MTXs on the old gem will be gone since its technichally a brandnew gem that didnt exist just a few seconds ago.

So thats this new gem doesnt have the spectre corpses stored anymore.
Its always been like that btw. but still doesnt really explain the new issue.
