Tentacle Miscreation Need further details

Ok, so ive been using these spectre a lot more often (I prefer them as they can be enhanced with anger and wrath unlike spell based spectre)

Just a question to fellow summoners

I heard these guys deal part physical and part fire much like the added fire damage affect?
I notice that their ability is more of a channel ability so faster attack is useless?

Am thinking vulnerability will work rather well with these guys as it is a more multiplier if am right about their attack type.

6 link

spectre + life leach + minion damage + remote mine + fire pen + GMP

I have changed from flame sentinels to tentacle miscreation for a few weeks.
My 6-link: raise spectre + remote mine + life leech + GMP + faster attacks + faster projectiles. The combination is limited by my aura gems colours.

The support gems are q20, I noticed there's a quite obvious attack speed difference between the monsters and my spectres. You may pm me so I can show you in-game later.

I use elemetal weakness most of the time because I use hatred+anger+wrath, my zombies use added fire damage and my arc could benefit as well.

EDIT: Faster attack seems not affecting their attack speed. The observable difference is due to the illusion of the faster projectiles that I used.

not to mention they don't drop your fps to the single digits.

I think their damage was also boosted when the devs decided to change that instance ton lvl 67 and 68. Higher level mobs and thus spectres do more damage.

you use your chest for auras?

why not use your glove and boots

edit:

did some forum snooping a dev said

50% of their damage is Fire.

so the other 50% is physical meaning vulnerability is a huge dps spike for them.

and added fire support is viable

I am running my build with 10 auras with molten shield and arctic armor.
So the gem slots is just enough at this moment :)

did u grab most of the reduced mana nodes or what lol? and hp reservation?

Yes I grabbed all the mana reserve nodes.
Hatred and wrath is casted by bm helm.
Inspired by your IR build, my armour can reach around 14k.
Life is the only concern at this moment.

hmm

I am not 100% sure, but since they stood still while firing, I just feel their standing time in between is shorter compared with the monsters.

What lv gem did you test?

I will test again with different support gems later today.


Edit:
Seems there are different results advised before.

Raytkh, Are you sure faster attacks works?
I've now gone to the extreme of timing them with a stop watch with and without faster attacks. I'm not seeing a difference.
Thanks.

Edit, This is completely ridiculous. Why is there never any in depth information for this game. Sitting at my pc with stop watch is silly. We should have minion dps and this kind of information available. It creates a huge guessing game of, I think added chaos is more dmg, I think this support gem works, no it doesnt etc.

I just tested with faster attacks, faster casting, faster projectiles.
All of the above 3 don't increase the attack speed.
Just kind of weird.
