This is why it is always a desperate battle to find the best specter / gem combination that hits as many things as they can as hard as they can.


Thankfully, the bleed bros also have a built in pierce and a decent base damage which qualifies them as good specters , independent of the bleed (this is of course prior to the all act4 mobs nerf).


Reveneants used to be this answer, however this is less so now because they no longer hit enough targets. their damage is fine. but that loss of 2 projectiles savagely murdered their synergy with chain. In short they lost the edge in terms of hitting as many targets as possible.

so the question is now, do the knitted bros have enough damage AND enough coverage to out class revenants.

the answer is saddly still... no because revenants do one absolutely massive thing that almost no other specter does. they bloody fire from a reasonable distance and they fire often. pretty much every other *cough* ranged specter has to be in at best casual conversation distance and at worst nipple rubbing distance.


knitted horrors in particular get so damn close that there is a 50/50 chance they will argo something and get dragged into melee (which they suck at).
