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

Been using evangelists in 75 maps in ambush non-snapshotted.

Very good damage with 4 links and the shield does a great job of defending them against storm heralds/avians/map bosses.

You won't always be protected by their shield but the fact that they are nearly unkillable with it makes it great.

I use the evangelists rather than the sentinels. Main reason: the AI
Have to say it again, the BM's best thing wasn't their sheer damage numbers, it was the fact, that the crappy minion AI was able to handle the use of the skill, as it was easier to do so, than other attacks.
Ofc nerfing the damage to oblivion makes it obsolete non the less, sadly...
Thats the reason I use evengelists now. With a bit of practice one is able to produce the same, well to some extend, situation with em.
The key for me was "increased area of effect", here in form of the gem ofc. With it, not only their bubble but also blast is a lot bigger and firing it in the middle of enemies around them selves acts nove-like. So the situation is a bit more forgiving for the AI's misdeterminations, as the AoE at least somewhat reaches in the right direction even when firing in the wrong one.

5-linked [RS + Minion Damage + I-AOE + added Fire-D + R-Mine] and with the effects of alomost passive maxed hatred and flesh offering their damage is everything but bad.

Theres one situation I especially remember where this makes the evangelists vastly superior to sentinels.... Wiraqucha.
While sentinels got always swarmed after at max 2 waves of clones and the whole job was tedious, evangelists easily hammered away all the spawns emediately.

The only problem is the wide spread of damagetypes as with maxed gems only half the damage is supported by EE and EW.
Sadly right now chernobogs pillar is the only physical damage conversion that can be transferred to minions. But 25% is a joke...
If I can get my hand on a 20/23+ or 21/20 I-AOE gem Ill test if the +14% AoE with conc.-effect is still enough to work.

Since my question wasnt answered yet i will ask again:
If u use Increased Duration for evangelists can they keep theirs bubbles up 100% of time? Also will it make their explosions actually longer to blow up?

whats more tanky CI or life EB/MoM

Logged off for 4-5 hours, came back online, all my minions were still summoned. Was there a silent patch?! Can't find any info for this anywhere. They retained the support gems as well since I had 2 evangelists with different bubble sizes and they're still as I had them.

Awesome if they finaly did something about logging out and losing minions. Sad if it's just some weird bug that happened to me.

Edit: I've had a friend test logging out with 1 spectre summoned and he lost the spectre when he came back. Now wondering how this happened to me so I can reproduce it.

Yes : their bubble up time is almost always 100% (my gem is lv 17 and they never shrink the bubble)

No : Increase duration gem is effect only their skill effect (bubble). It doesn't effect their attack circles.

E.G if you use evangelist with increase duration, their bubble gonna be up all most all the time
If use this gem with undying alchemist (poison bomb from sewer) it will in crease duration of their bomb effect.

Another tip is to use smoke mine with the evangelist. You'll instantly teleport your minions ontop of your character bringing the proximity shield with you.

good leveling gear?

I guess this is good info to give out, some beginner tips:

I have been leveling my ambush summoner with flame blast + fastcast + firepen

My gear focus has been anything with HP on it, the best pieces would be es/hp gear. than towards late game eva/es or ar/es

I will not pick up EB/MoM until I have around 3k hp and a sizable mana pool.

I focus on minion and hp nodes before I spec into aura nodes and IR/Eb/MoM

I did not use ullr till late game, 7 zombies is enough and your not really using any spectre just yet. Waste of time to pick them up.

eventually i'll pick up the rest of my snapshot gear as i gain currencies.

use rejuv totem with zombies they will last much longer.

atm am 5x, and casting searing bond totem first running around and casting flesh offering for my zombies. It has been noted that mpd is better than faster atk by around 20-30% but I still enjoy the benefits of immense attack speed. You'll notice that zombies easily staggers and stuns bosses/rares and applies freeze and chill with hatred more easily.

what is mpd?

and how is faste attack worse if like 10 posts a go someone did a math when multistrike+faster attack is the best combo?????

here"RZ + Faster + Mstrike + Msplash + Remote Mine + MeleePhyDmg is superior to everything else
