Ok )
Thanks for the answer ! | |
|
Was something very interesting in the patch notes:
"Updated the Cannibal's torch-throwing behaviour. It also looks cooler now.". If that is an AI buff I assume the clear speed and QoL of this build went up quite a lot? At least it will be cooler :) Also Phase Run need (80->50). Will need to play a bit more careful now I guess. Do you think this requires a different layer of defense? |
|
" The Cannibal torch throw is for the basic monster (you can find this one in act 1). The one I recommend for this build doesn't throw its torch, but uses it like a flame thrower. I think the change to phase run shouldn't affect the build too much in general play because the spectres should kill everything before they have a real chance to hit you. The change really affects delve and being able to avoid the one-shot monsters. For clear speed, a combination of 2 SGs and 2 FEs felt really good in delve league. -- I did find this in the patch notes though: " This is a welcome fix, as FEs were stuck on auto-attack against Belfry, Sunken City and Lava Lake bosses.

Hi
What do you think about the new Bitterbind Point spectre shield, could it be useful for the build ? (PoB does not have it yet) https://www.youtube.com/user/PeipeMasta

|
Why no GMP? Does it make the fire cone too wide, does it not work somehow, or is it just not better then controlled destruction/elemental focus?
| |
" Bitterbind has a really nice buff (much better than frenzy charges), but it only procs Arcane Surge on your crit. I think a summoner in general has such low crit chance that it would be rare to get the arcane surge buff. Victario + Aegis gives 100% uptime on frenzy charges because the spectres have 25 casts per second with an aoe. " I prefer to run with a high DPS loadout, so I made the build for 5B and 1G, usually swapping between Faster Projectiles, GMP and Slower Projectiles for the 'utility'; all the green gems are for damage. While running maps, I'll use GMP and swap in Slower Proj or Faster Proj for bosses. Kay's Spectre Summoner build guide: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2181275

" Thanks for the gem clarification. There is a solution to the Bitterbind problem, although I don't know if it would make the shield worth it - it procs Arcane Surge on your gain of Arcane Surge, so if you give either the mobility or curse delivery spell the Arcane Surge support at a low-medium level, it should allow fairly consistent arcane surge uptime | |
" I managed to get the shield, so I did a little checking; turns out that Bitterbind only gives level 1 arcane surge. So you're looking at 10% more dmg + 10% increase cast speed. Whereas Victario + Aegis gives 12% more dmg + 45% increased cast + 15% movement (from 3 frenzy charges). Kay's Spectre Summoner build guide: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2181275

Anger aura worth it with fire-eaters?
| |
" Definitely not. Anger Aura also gives you fire damage to spells. A big part of spectre DPS comes from 'elemental equilibrium' on the passive tree: " So we want to only use cold or lightning damage on spells to put the -50% fire res debuff on our target. ---
