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

EE works like this,

You attack the mob with lightning fore example, they now have -50cold/-50fire for the next 5 seconds or until you reapply.

During that 5 seconds Bm aura damage will act like it gain a boost of 50% fire pen. So during that time the damage will burn for higher dps.

i missed that you are using traps. which ones ?

http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Trap_%28support_gem%29

My personal favorite BM setup is Raise Spectre > Concentrated Effect > Remote Mine > Trap > Minion Damage > Minion Life

Most efficient combo for BM Damage and Survivability, however, next patch that may change depending on how much of a buff some support gems may receive.

so I do _not_ need to continually hit with lightning, although it shouldn't hurt anything. My arc isn't what's supposed to be doing the damage it's the fire.

Thanks.

oh the mine raises the spectre trick. that one i had tried to use but i'm link limited :-(

i have RS increased burning minion life and blind

why blind ? because I'm scared to death to rechrome the gauntlets i'm using LOL. THey are armor/evasion and the chances of getting RBBB are _very_ low. I can't think of a better green gem to use than blind but i'm positive it doesn't proc because there's no hit.

I should probably use a different set of gauntlets, but then i'd give up my +42% rarity, yes they are aurseize (big surprise).

oh freaking duh. I can snapshot the gauntlets, can't I ?

i hadn't gotten around to snapshotting because i was too busy obsessing over my skill tree.

Trap is a green gem..........and you can still use it without sunblast, you will have to lure a mob to run over it, but that can be tricky if you raised your zombies before your BMs.

Still hoping for some advise on my specific build to date as well.

Thanks :)

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.

Spoiler

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.

haha, that it is.

so i can do

mine -trap- RS- increase burning

i'll have to play with this to figure out how to detonate the mine to RS on a BM.

seems kinda tricky...

not sure why you have so little mana left running EB, but one thing that stands out: you need more ES on your gear !!

EB works from ES, the gear you've linked has almost none. you have to fix that 11 mana left problem, even if it means giving up an aura. for one thing if you can get your mana boosted then you should be able to maintain 100% uptime on a fairly high level arctic armor and that will _greatly_ enhance your survivability.

you have IR -find some EV/ES gear !

BTW, welcome to merciless. merciless is just one big f'ing gear check.

you've followed matt's tree, i think you just need to focus on gear and you'll be good. my problem is that i did _not_ follow the tree. however my gear is decent so i'm doing pretty well. it's just that i need to be destroying piety, not just beating her after 2 min of spamming skellies.

go out and find an armor/es or ev/es helm with +2 minion. that will give you 4L and level 20 on a level 18 zombie gem. you may have to give up spell damage to get a better shield and boost your ES/mana. at high levels about the only good your attacks do is to proc EE.

oh i just saw that note about tabula rasa. you probably should have just gone for a couple of white 5Ls or something. would have been much cheaper and almost as effective.

i'm not even snapshotting and almost there, even with a broken skill tree...so that should give you hope that your close !

I'm working my way to where matt is. Pretty far out but at least I have all the gems now.
And here comes the trouble I just realized.

Because of snapshotting the zombie and spectre support gems will never gain any exp. Which is really annoying.

So now unfortunately I need to snapshot the spectres and wear the Tabula with all the zombie stuff to level those as well, and then do the spectre support gems.
Really annoying.

Also while its beneficial, snapshotting is really annoying since I dont have a 20/20 zombie gem and a lot of instant animation flasks. So technically the build Matt is showing is the very endgame when you have all the levels,gear,and qality levelled gems. Not sure if I'm ever gonna get there.
If I will not sure if the game will still stay fun anymore since everything just dies

Planning to rework my QA section can I get some feedback of what u guys are still confused about?

- EE interations with minions
- snapshotting
- leveling tips
- boss fighting tips
- ect?
