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

I just aquired the Tabula Rasa and am doing 6 link for the zombies w/ CoD, then 5 linking the BMs.

She is taking down some of my zombies (lvl 18 gem, no quality) and usually one of the BMs. I group with my wife from time to time though, and if I am grouped her extra hps gives her the time to eat pets alive.



That is what I am casting the zombies with presently, as I do not have a grasp.

I then switch for the BMs and then do concentrated effect, minion damage, minion life, increased area of effect (gives the full sized area, with the concentrated effect dmg amount). Raise specter is also lvl 18 w/o quality.

I just spent the majority of my wealth on the Tabula Rasa so it'll be awhile before I get another piece of gear.

I can run Grace, purity, vitality, and clarity, but only have 11 mana left presently. Tips on what my next step should be is greatly appreciated. I'm just at a point where I can WTF own anything but the main bosses, and can WTF own piety solo ~75% of the time.

I'm thinking I really need to get the gems leveled to 20 so I can change them in for quality, but i'm not sure that's the right track either. I'm a bit worried I'll put all that work in and it wont pay off because it's a gear issue.

I never spec'd into MI at all. You DO NOT want your minions to die, because you can't resummon them, without wasting minutes with the whole Cast on Death fiasco... -.-"

As for Piety, she does no damage to my Minions, even with her ice form. How are your BMs dying? No Vitality/Rejuv Totem or Purity?

i'm mighty confused. methinks there is a significant difference in our builds.

i have purity.

i do not have vitality or rejuv, I'm working on that.

i hardly think that 100 life/s is going to save them from her.

"she does no damage to my minions" WTF ? even if you had capped resists she'd do damage.

don't you mean she does damage but they recover really quickly ??

Really, it would be most helpful if you could provide info on your set-up. I'm sure that I'm just not as far along on the build as you are. that's ok, it would be most useful to see where your build currently is, and how you're creating your summons. This would give me valuable pointers as to where to head to next.

In my mind what i need is EB + reduced aura reserve.

this will allow me te keep constant uptime on arctic armor and get vitality going in addition to hatred/clarity/purity. That, and getting rid of MI, should make a significant difference, I hope.

However it will leave me still somewhat squishy. However i don't die when my minions are alive so I'm not too worried.

So right now I'm testing Chance to flee.

1.tenticle miscreation: GMP, LMP, faster attacks, faster projectiles, chance to flee.

2.morality experimenter: inc aoe, damage, life, faster casting, remote mine (will probably use cod after I level)

3.Undying evang: incre aoe, duration, life, damage, remote/cod

4.Standard BM: using faster casting to fill in the gaps of not having enough bm's.

The chance to flee prevents mobs from reaching you and your spectres in the bubble. I have yet to try knockback w/ a tenticle miscreation. Going to test morality experimenter w/ cod. Detonate corpses seems to do a bunch of damage and temporal chains is a bonus.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but BM's cast when they enter and leave combat. So when the enemies are fleeing it causes the bm to chase and then fallback, so they enter and leave combat?

Nevermind :)!

use blind, not chance to flee.

running grace with blinded opponents means your minions rarely get hit :-)

Merciless piety with merciless BMs.

The BMs die quickly.

I don't have issues soloing Merciless Piety with a single BM. With enough auras its a non-issue.

Currently I run Purity of Ice/Fire/Lightning/Elements, Vitality, Grace, Discipline, Clarity, and Haste. Will add Determination later.

Snapshotting the BM with Chober Chaber + Sidehebreath + Sunblast.

Full Minion Passives (Damage and Life). She dies ridiculously fast After a few arctic breaths with Dyadus debuff + Elemental Equilibrium.

I don't even have to bother cursing her or dropping a rejuv totem, but both of these will help you quite a bit if your gear isn't enough to support tons of auras. I do use the Animation Flasks, but she dies way too fast before its an issue for the single BM. Also, try raising the BMs on Lunaris 3 to gain that +1 Monster level.

Also, ground chill is ridiculously good for her. Piety has a lot of issues trying to run to portals with Ice all over the place. Hope this helps you with farming her.

Edited for dumbness.

Morality experimenter does so much damage w/ cod and concentrated. About 80-90% of max hp of the corpse it detonates. My cod is only level 18 and my concentrated level 16. Can't wait for the aoe bonus from cod 20%.

It makes 2 unique bosses so easy.

Here is a good question:

Are IIQ/IIR gems linked to minions snapshotted into them? or is the bonus caculated at the time of the kill?

I'm wondering if after a minion is snapshotted if replacing some of the supports with IIQ/IIR would do anything or not.

Never though about it before like that. Can anyone confirm this?
