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

I wonder, if I by some miracle get my hands on 5L+ new unique with built in mana shield... Templar start can actually get a bit more armor since he has easy access to body and soul. Dropping the IR and mana shiled passives saves a lot of points, which will allow to get these aura nodes with a temlar too. The question is, if it is worth it.


P.S. I'm so gonna go broke on regrets with the way things are going.

So how good is the artic armor fire /phy reduction? I feel like with grace / Iron reflex gone theres a big armor hit now.... Still contemplating between your build and matts build. (currently lvl 87). But like you said before the % buff increase seems to be quite significant.

Im assuming the haste aura makes you run quite fast too? (with the buff nodes)

The difference i see between our builds is that my build is a lot more tankier while his is more geared towards minion support.

3.5k hp vs 5k hp + mana shield( you can run artic armor on my build as well just not a level 20 one, depends on your mana regen)

Edit: Ive been working on a crit, 2h axe, vaal pact, CI, Spectral throw scion and a 100% piercing split arrow crit vaal pact CI witch. Had not been able to play around with my summoner as much.

I did come up with another combo

trigger gem on damage taken + decoy totem. (wonder if this would keep distracting mobs?)

For those of you who pm'ed me why I switch weapons here is a videos about the snap shot mechanic and how to abuse it as a summoner to become over powered.

INTERESTING UPDATE!

so i was going over what @maxric2 said about his aura build. Am starting to really like the idea of having grace again.

Passive skill tree build

God damn this patch is costing me so many regrets lmao. This build will drop a bit of hp for auras which might actually end up being really powerful. Needs testing.

EDIT:

"

5 auras (discipline, haste, purity, vitality and clarity...

If this is what you ran and i picked up all the same mana reserve nodes than i'll do

purity, vitality, discipline(this thing gives you more mana than it reserves?), clarity, grace

omg this is going to cost me 20+ regrets. but its so worth it aura stacking now will be broken with how strong they are now.

------------------------

Sorry about tweaking my build over and over, am the kind of person that isn't satisfied until everything is perfect.

Just some quick math before you go and redo your auras again

60% Auras - Can be dropped to 23.004 with full passives + 20 gem, 19.596 with Alphas Howl, 12.354 with Prism guardian

40% Auras - Can be dropped to 15.336 with full passives + 20 gem, 13.064 with alphas, 8.236 with Prism Guardian

Don't have a max rank Clarity, so I can't give you the numbers on those.

Assuming you wanted to run tons of auras, Prism Guardian would be a good way to go, getting you Clarity + Purity for a reasonable amount of life reserved.

Then, if you were willing to use Alpha's Howl (great helm to go with for iron reflexes anyways) you could get 3 more auras at the price of 20% mana reserved, bringing your reserved mana to ONLY 60%.

You could squeeze out 2 more auras in your gear, bringing it to 96% of your mana being reserved, more than enough to curse or frostwall.

So, for everyone thinking auras got nerfed into the ground, with the right gear you can run SIX auras still. Also, for people on a low budget build, Matua Tupuna got indirectly buffed, as 10% more benefit on auras placed on you and your minions is much more noticeable.

Thank you. Good info. I need to gather 22 regrets for this so many currencies down the drain lmao.

I don't plan to use alpha howl(I sold mine anyways)

For the aegis You need to reserve your aura on life thou. Gems in this item is blood magic.

They cast a short-duration bubble that protects all allies within it form daamge that originates outside the bubble, as you noted.

They also have a delayed blast spell that marks an area of ground, then shortly afterwards deals physical spell damage in an AoE at that point. I believe the damage is quite good because the player is given warning and a chance to get out of the way by the ground being marked before it goes off, but I don't work in balance.

Some numbers to give an idea (passive nodes+lvl 20 reduced mana), no alpha howl :
- 60% aura --> 25%
- 40% aura --> 17%
- lvl 20 clarity --> 185 mana reserved

Bonus effect :
- Haste (lvl 15) : +27% cast/attack speed and +15% run speed
- Purity (lvl 20) : +52% all resistances and +3% max resist
