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

question about hatred aura:

it reads:"You and nearby allies add x% of your Physical Damage as Cold Damage"

so it only adds the x% of the weapon/damage YOU yourself are making to the damage of the minions. if so...what weapon are you wearing?

It's plural, as in 'each member adds % of their individual damage', so the weapon is irrelevant.

It should just say 'all party members add % of their damage' to avoid confusion.

+1 level is almost useless with spectre gem... It would have been a better idea to place your auras there, especially the ones which scale well with level ( but your color choice is crap :/ )

I have tons of Ullr boots, and the colors I wanted specifically for the Tentacle Miscreation specctres. The +1 is not anything special on the Spectre gem, but it will help with the supports.
GMP should go up to 40% damage at level 21, 45% IAS from Faster attacks at level 21 and Remote mine will go up to 50% more damage at level 21 (I currently have Minion damage in there while I level RM, but even that would go up to 78% at 21). It's not an insane damage boost overall, but it is better than not having the +1 mod on a regular pair of Bones (in my opinion).

Also, my auras are getting a nice boost of their own from my Alpha's Howl.

actually the +1 to gems is better for the specter gem than the supports, as they get 1% more life and es, and 2% more dmg at lvl 21. bur i dont see why say its bad... i mean why shouldn't I use specters on a +1 to gems item if i could? (using alphas howl, no +2 to minions).

can helms roll +1 to gems aswell? lvl 27 zombies with 6link specters? :D

I don't think rare helms can roll +1 to all gems. There is only one unique helm that has that mod: http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Geofri%27s_Crest

There is a trick you can use with that helm that involves putting a leveled up empower support gem in there. The empower gem itself will get another level from the helm and further boost the linked skill and gems.

matt. i noticed on the 120 points tree. that if instead of taking harier and taking those nodes down to get into charisma, if you go down from life and mana through haste you can save 1 skill point, while keeping the same dex and 10 + more str. imo i still prefer taking harier over the +10 str, just thought that you should know (if yo uactually didn't) as on the 120 points tree. we dont rlly have that much to choose from. mb 30 str node or if you want NA it's still something to consider

You know, when I first recommended the health nodes in the Shadow sector, I saw that path to Charisma, but I didn't bother to calculate what it gives. Thank you for bringing this up, because looking at it again, there really isn't any reason not to take that route over the other if you aren't getting Mana Geyser, even if you want Harrier. Because you can still take Harrier and spend the same points with a net gain of +10 strength (life and reqs) and +15% attack speed (Leap Slam).

New 120 build route for Matt

Alternate 120 full-life build (264% HP)

ye matt the thought of still having harier and +10 str just ocured to me l8r when i was on my way to work.

btw matt, dont know if you ever gave it a thought (and i actually dont know how much mana you have after reservations), but on the cloak build (i just specced to it yday, as i wanted to somewhat prepare myself for the snapshot fix, so i wanted to have mana available to resummon minions in combat, wich i couldn't on my old set up with only 80 mana left)

anyways, i have a prism guardian and a alphas howl, so tried it with the cloak build, and i got myself 4.1k life(~4.6k before reservations) and 1k mana left over runing 6 auras (discipline+ clarity on the prism, and purity, vitality, hatred and haste on my mana).

mb it's somthing you could also suggest in your upcoming gear break down.

and

Any chance you could post your gear? I'm not sure what gems to use besides the Zombies/Spectres.

no Dextery nodes? i assume you don't level faster attacks or high level Hatred, or do you have DEX on gear?

Summoners suck. Without snapping, they would suck even more. Without Evangelists, they would suck anymore. Animate Weapon sucks... I'm QQ at how much summoner build sucks.

If I animate my guardian with support gems, then when I add the gem back it does not have those support gems, does the guardian keep those attributes? (minion life, faster movement, etc)

You missed my section on support skills i guess.

no, animate guardian checks for support on every new instance. You could enter a instance with the support gems attached than remove them, the animate guardian will still have the support gems for the duration of that instance you are in.

Summoners are ok if were looking at all the build possibilities with unlimited funding. They don't clear the fastest or is the most tankiest. Summoner builds are there for people who like summoning and the fact that is it highly adaptable to any map mods and situations. It won't win in any damage/tanking category.

I would say summoner has 1 clear advantage over other builds. It is the only character type that can stack huge amount of IIR/IIQ and still clear fine.

DEX comes mostly from gear. You'll only need about 100~ for faster and hatred. If you want to use haste you might need to invest into a 30 dex node or 2.

Recently bought this awesome glove to round out my stats

@Passive tree dicussion

You know, I totally forgot about the top 8% life cluster(near CI). Also that pathing is better than mine. I think my current pathing was when I was still undecided on going to IR or not with cloak. 264% life is sounds awesome.
