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

Is there any mechanic, that the BM's cast there Aura instantly or pretty early?

I have the problem, that when I enter an area the BM's take 1-2 packs of monster till they are casting the aura. My zombies aren't that strong so it takes me a while to get them down.

Your build looks pretty good for endgame, but you've gone for very few minion damage nodes, would that impact the damage the zombies do significantly.

Ive been following the build so far, and I'm just closing in on level 45, once I'm there I have a multi-strike gem and faster attacks gem waiting for me to use along with melee splash, but I'm worrying that my zombies wont be dishing out too much damage, and the use of spectres at this level are few, the BM's from normal wont survive 2 mins.

I would like to ask... carcass jack also work on BM/Evangelist ?

I have been trying out your build (Im new to PoE), so far im level 78 in nemesis those burning miscreations are amazing!

But i have been wondering why are you picking the 30% increased effect of flasks over the 24% HP?

Does the increased effect of flasks still work with the instant recovery pots?

That is the one flaw of BM's summoning 3 of them increases the odds of one turning on. But when they do turn on. Oh boy does everything melt.

Why arn't your zombies strong? what do you have linked? What level are they?

That dps setup I suggested can make zombies pretty much carry themselves without your spectres

I barely notice any difference in zombie dps with and without the minion damage nodes. That setup will make your zombies monstrously strong. If you feel BM's from normal are too weak you can always try a different spectre.

Unless it reads "gems in this items" it will not work for minions

you might have been looking at some earlier iteration of my build. Ive been working on improving the tree these past weeks.

Passive skill tree build(latest and best build atm)

the 30% flask nodes works on everything even granite(1k more armor) and quicksilvers(more move spd). It will also boost life flasks. I calculated if u grab all the flask nodes near the build(60%) you will be healing for pretty much 620 instant life per charge!

Thanks for this thread.

I have come back after a time away and now we have the release version of the game. Before this I had a Fire Witch Summoner which worked pretty well but like has been posted I hit a wall in Act 3 Merc. I don't think that is the way to go now.

So now I have a full respec on this character which is level 68 atm

Looking at what you have done here I think the correct course of action would be to try and make this character a farmer, it was my very first character anyway so why not.

My gear is very iffy so I am not sure if it can make it to end game with out a lot of much needed gear. I think I have pretty much all the gems I will need as I have a ton, might be missing one or two but those can be traded for.

At this level I came up with this build

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated :)

Ah okay. Ye that pretty sucks with the casting time.

I do not have a Multistrike gem so the damage is okay, but not that good. As soon as the BM starts the aura everything melts.

But what do you do if you have a high HP Boss with high burst. I am right before Merciless Brutus and i wanted to try to solo him, but the Problem is, that he does 1-2 groundslams and all my Zombies/Spectres are dead.
Is there a specific Spectre or strat, with that you can do these kind of Bosses more easy.

I try to mitigate burst by making my minions tankier by other means.

Purity, determination, vitality

cast a rejuv totem(also boosted by aura nodes)

use minion life flasks and out heal the damage



sometimes there are some end game bosses that are so monstrously strong summoners in general just can't do them. The ultimate solution would be to just pick up MI and bomb the shit out of them. Punish the bosses for killing your minions.

There really needs to be some other kind of scaling for minions for some of the ultra late game bosses.( also zombies ai really need to be more agressive, its really annoying when your trying to kite the boss the zombies instead of hitting the boss start to move back and forth between your character and the boss), my solution for this is to just hit the boss with arc and it will send your minions into the fray.

That being said try to mitigate damage as much as possible, enfeeble, temporal chains.

Frost wall those pesky boss mobs in, blind them, abuse the evangelist bubble mechanic, abuse the knock back mechanic or stun mechanic, abuse skeleton totems

matt in your evangelist video how many links are they using ? 5L ?

6L - tabula rasa
