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

So i just tried arcmages. From barracks. They are pretty good it lets you easily stack shock charges for your zombies and if you manage to get a high map level arcmage they can do some considerable damage. Whats nice about their attack is that it will never miss since it is arc no wasted spell casts. Just warning thou they are pretty damn squishy

rs + chain + remote mine + minion damage + lightning pen + faster casting

Pretty much what I came up with too on the tree planner as well, but I'm wondering if grave expectations is a better choice over consequences or intentions? Res on Kite shields and Saffel's have been nerfed (if doing Aegis), seems better to have the ele res than more min life or chaos res?

Also finished the circle around sovereignty instead of 2 min damage nodes, didn't know if there was a math around 8% increased effect vs 15% min damage?

also these where 63 Sentinels not map level ones in a 78 area so i will be using them till i find something better

If you cast Desecrate in the Eternal Laboratory, you get arealvl 66 flame sentinels. You are welcome!

Wow great idea! thanks =D.

just use undying evangelists + inc aoe + inc duration (their phy dmg benefits from hatred, and they make you immortal) and one archmage to shock crowds. i do 71 piety gmp with 2.7k life -14 light res, 120iiq 170 iir

just wanted to comment, they had fireball fixed in a patch something like 6 months ago but at the time it was all about the BM's so probably went unnoticed :)

Also can someone explain desecrate for me? I was under the impression the corpses fall over dead after a few seconds? (and how does it do anything in eternal lab if theres no corpse?)

And finaly zombies 5L in chest with chabber:
Rz + rm + trap + mele splash + blind

Couldn't really understand the rest of your post but,

RZ + Meleephysical + faster atk + meleesplash + mstrike

would be the superior setup for damage. Melee physical beats remote mine in damage.

Remote mine is "more damage" Melee Phys is "increased damage" Most of the time with enough passives and equipment "more damage" scales better because its multiplicative.

As i always liked the bombing sound of the flamings too much, i mostly went with 2 blinding flames and 1 burning - so i won't miss BM's really ;)
My clearing speed may be a little bit less, but almost constantly having 30-50% of the mobs in a blinded status... I like the crowd control heading into higher level maps. So now i will use 2 flames set up as Matt's and one with blind- faster casting- gmp-chain. My zombies go with multi, splash, added fire, melee dmg and faster attacks. I have always preferred damage aura's like haste and hatred, they are too awesome for the zombies. Thanks to a Skull i dont need vitality anymore and grace is the 4th i usually use. I can also recommend the totem-flame-blind combo. And about CastODt/ faster casting/ ligntning warp/ molten - it is just awesome. As is the game and this thread - thx to Matt !

Desecrate creates 3 dead bodies with monster level (area_level) + 2 (IIRC, could as well be only area_level), capped to a maximum by the level of the gem, from a list of monsters that depends on the area. You can later raise those corpses as zombies (corpse level is irrelevant) or spectres (corpse level is *everything*).
