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

"

Some ppl will understand me.
I read and like this build , only for what core.
Don't want to read, how Richie Rich boy with and game gear doing well maps.
Sorry for my opinion.

Expensive uniques such as grasp, shavs, ect are not necessary to run end game maps (thou they do help a ton vs certain map bosses), at this point the most needed unique is the tabula. 1-3ex

For most builds, expensive uniques/gear are needed to run the very hardest of content that is just the nature of the game. If you can beat every content with crappy gear people will lose interest fast.

"

Also, i have been told that MoM is not worth running if you dont have 700+ spare mana thats unreserved, as the hole point of MoM is to absorb big hits.

I treat MoM as another arctic armor. If you take 1000 damage, 300 of that damage would be absorbed by your mana am currently sitting at 400 left over mana. Combined with mana regen you can keep absorbing this damage. For 700 left over mana to be effective you need to take 2350 damage in one hit. I wouldn't sacrifice auras just to have more mana left over.

As for my passive tree I guess you looked at the 90/120 point tree which isn't updated for this patch atm =/.

That build path looks very solid.

Its roughly the same thing, You'll end up with more mana than I do. I looped up top because I use to get the dual curse which isn't needed anymore. You dropped the life/mana nodes in exchange for some minion nodes. Which is fine, I like to personally have my character sit at a very high amount of life pool.

Sorry i was not aware it wasnt updated! i was just wondering on your opinion on going throw the es nodes instead.

- i was initially going to pick up those health-mana% nodes and Inner force but got told they were not worth it.

- im sitting at like 148% increased life compared to your 200%+, would the build still be Hardcore viable? or would that extra life pretty much be a requirement?

- I have 12 points leftover to play with, so im really trying to figure out if i should go pick up more health nodes, or pick up inner force, or maybe more mana regen. im not quit sure how the witch works. as a ground slam maurader i had like 300% life nodes lol in HC... lol

Thank you very much for the info and your opinion btw! i greatly appreciate it.

I got your's point.
But if I want to see how ppl playing with good gear, i will definitely look for a tehosiris runs ;). No need to show us how good you are with good gear.
peace.

if you run eldritch battery maybe going via the int section would be better as you spend 1 more point going through the es area.

-personally i dont find inner force atractive, life and mana are good.

-i guess the more the merrier, and it should depend on your gear with 210% incresed life, i got 4.5k life, before the patch i had less minion nodes, and got all the life nodes near scion, i had 294 incresed life, and was runing with 5.5k life (BEFORE auras), droping my alphas and prism guard, i would drop 3 auras but my hp would got up to 6.2k (note that i can still achieve this, if i want). the build is very flexible you should try things out for yourself.

Hmm. It looks like I need better gears for Courtyard bosses then...

I have a question on tabula rasa. Is it better to use 2+ minion helm or tabula rasa for zombie snapshot?

Thanks in advance.

You are still dual cursing using windscream and doedre's damning, is that right ?

Do you find that giving up the MF gear for that is an ok trade-off ?

doedre's seems like a good trade-off (unless you have an andvarius) but it would be very nice to keep goldwyrms.

now that i think about it a doedre's + curse passives means triple cursing.

temp chains + enfeeble + vulnerability seems like an awfully powerful, tasty combination if you are trying to farm dominus.

seeing matts gear i dont think he's an Mfr

Matt i was wondering if you would still use wind scream if you were to refund the double curse passive so that you can still use 2 curses?

Does CoD still work with minions? When I die near a corpse with it on, it does not raise a zombie/spectre. Did they patch it? If I could get an answer that would be great ;)
