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

Can anyone give me some tips on starting a brand new char using this build? I have not played the game in months. I have forgotten a lot about it.

Any tips on what to look for in early gear? Things to make life easier before you can can some of the good stuff?

Besides a pair of Bones of Ullr. All you need on gear is to stack as much armor, resist, chaos resist and hp as possible.

What are your thoughts on Matua Tupuna?

Should I think of getting that or should I stick with:

I don't think the 10% aura buff justifies losing all those defensive stats.

Speaking of Bones of ullr. Wouldn't leaving +1 spectre node in the build and just dropping them for some GG 3 resist movespeed life es boots be better since you decided to go 2 spectres? 1 passive point versus tons of survavilability and movement/warp speed. Sure you would also lose 1 zombie, but the ones that count are teh montregul zombies, and going from 7 to 6 won't change their number.

I personally prefer to stay with 3 spectres, since I'm regularly using tentacle miscreation with culling+IIQ+IIR+faster attacks+GMP. Too bad their AI is stupid and sometimes they are to busy attacking white mobs while rares die right before their noses...



P.S. Finally got myself a quality lightning warp, now I just need to lvl all of my gems to 20 or just buy 20/20 ones so I could remove them after summoning and finally start using AA+warp and maybe even CoDT.

If you want an easy switch solution you could use these curse boots

Then you could switch from spectre to curse on the fly depending on what tier of maps your running. 66-70 is fine with a single curse and GG with 2, 3+ curses is way overkill.

For the tenticles, if your using culling try putting chain into the mix. overall its 50% more damage if it has targets, and greatly increases your chance of hitting everything.

tenticle + culling + GMP + faster attacks? + IRR/IIQ and drop GMP if only 5 link i guess.

For matua, i'd only use that if i had it offhand with a faster cast skel totem, since i dont have room for totem in main gear it would be my "oh sh**" switch. spectres/zombies are on armor/boots so it'd also function to cancel my blood magic reserved auras which probably isnt a bad thing in a bad situation. The important ones are mana reserved.

Thats if i wasnt using offhands to level up gems i guess lol

Hmm your right. Going for +1 spectre than dropping the boot could be better for me defensively. But I will lose out on some dps via 1 zombie.

I will try this solution out and see how it goes. I was actually thinking of using windscream instead and go

flammability, vul, eleweak + EE + shock. No such thing as over kill in my opinion =D.

actually feels kind of weird to have 1 less spectre after playing for a day without them. I kinda like having an arc mage arcing with me to super stack shock charges. Or 1 evangelist for defensive purposes.

Yeah, I like tunnel map myself. If its big, its really big. But if it spawns big pack magic evangelists - its a nightmare.


With tentacles I would love to have both IIR and IIQ, can never decide which is better. I guess with my gear magic find 10 IIQ 200 IIR, IIQ gem would be preferred, but I'm still hoping for that OMG GG unique drop to happen, lol.

Hi matt,

First of all I'd like to thank you for this build, its the first character I've successfully done maps with (or reached the endgame in general!) since I started the game about 2 weeks ago.

I've hit lvl 74, just got my 5th aura, 5 Link chest and EE...My BM's are absolutely melting faces atm! My question is regarding shock, I've put arc on a totem with chain in order to stack shock on enemies for even more dps for map bosses, however I dont think I've seen a single shock stack being applied.
After reading the wiki, I realise I need to do about 1.1% of a mobs life in order to have a 10% chance to apply 1 second of shock, how much damage are you doing with your arc in order to apply the debuff endgame?

Cheers,

Dev
