{3.2.0} Spectral Gods: [Life Based Spectre/Golem Hybrid Summoner | Clear Speed | End Game Bossing]

On the subject of "double dipping" would evangelists benefit twice from remote mine? once for their initial damage, and then as a direct support for the mines they cast?

kinda like how increased cast speed lets you summon spectres faster and also lets them cast faster.

Well i've come to the point where iam just experimenting stuff... currently lvl 88 and not running double curses, and started putting points on minion damage... well 2 points in and the 30%+ damage with my mon'treguls 98% damage plus other stuffs... and well. my zombies are now powerfull enough to 1shot basicly anything in solo maps... it has come to the point where maps with reflect means i have to spam flasks otherwise they reflect themselfs to death..

Can't imagine what would happen if i could get the damage nodes near elemental equil... zombies would probably get 1 shot by reflect

I have been using this guide and like it but need some help. what I want to know is what skill gems are the best back up skill gems to use before your minions are strong enough to hold their own? The reason why I ask this is because I am having trouble with general gravicius I only have firestorm as an attack and cannot win. I am still basically new to the game and to the class so a little help is appreciated.

Below is my gear.

Ever considered going Prism guardian shield for the extra mana reserve reduction?(sorry if the question has been answered previously)

I have considered it. Other than putting clarity on in (it will be around 40hp with level 20 reduced mana and reduced mana nodes). Other than that aura your still reserving a percentage of your hp. By end game you want as much hp as you can get.

besides determination i can't think of another aura that would be soo good its worth reserving life.

@Legisactio

I played around with trying to perma freeze before with cold snap. Its hard to achieve I think you do need some passive point investment and support gem investment to get freezing going.

@Moows

Yep that is another issue with minions being too powerful they can also suffer from reflect. Have you considered using warlords mark?

Am not entirely sure but I know GGG is against double dipping (for example IR with eva/armor hybrid nodes). Your going to have to ask GGG about that.

@DoomCarpace
I think spectral throw with a good 2hander is the best way to level up now. Its ranged and powerful even without nodes. It should carry you to merciless where minions start to become better.

no, pretty sure evangelists dont detonate a mine, they cast a spell. mines are actually defined as placing a mine at your feet.

Matt I was wondering if you could share some input on this.......

Had to scrap the Curse on Hit due to the new degen changes and BMs needing the 6L instead of a 4L.

So now I've moved Arctic Breath down to a 4L, and I need it as a primary defensive/EE/Chilling tool. Currently its Arctic Breath > GMP > Blind

for the fourth slot, I'm seeing these options.....

Knockback - In theory should somewhat boost BM survival, and mine is low level, but it seems to have potential.

LMP - More coverage, seems like overkill.

Culling - Great for bosses, pretty useless for anything else.

Leaning towards Knockback atm, seems like it'll be much more reliable once level'ed especially with arctics AoE nature and GMP.

Summons are really bad early on, they die really fast and don't really very hard. I personally prefer leveling up doing something else than summoning (such as Spectral Throw, as it can carry you easily pretty far without any passives invested on it).

But I think you may be able to beat him if you have Minion Stability. Get a Spell Totem gem and link it with Skeletons and Minion Life (your wand has the sockets for that). He will probably kill the totem often, but just resummon it.

Searing Touch, Fireball + LMP another good option.

@Moose65

KB is effective if you can cast/attack fast enough

Blind sounds like the better idea. Blind + enfeeble is really powerful vs attack bosses.

Blinds already linked to it. Was just wondering what to add to the 4th.
