spell echo + spectres interaction

Make the spell echo only apply for the spectres, but not to the action of summoning them. Nowadays, if u have a spectre and you like to link him with echo (to make him cast spells faster), you have to unnequip the spell echo gem before summoning them, cuz if u dont, you will summon 2 spectres (the second one from a random body) and this screws all ur summonning. Its a minor issue, but would be nice to see this implemented.
For a improve in the quality of life of all summoners !!!

I wouldn't have thought a spectre could use Spell Echo. Isn't that supposed to only be for self casting by players?

well, summoners are one and the same with their minions :D.

Summoned minions can use (nearly?) every support gem they are linked with. I think mine and trap support could be exceptions.

I wouldn't support the idea because you can be sure that the next summoner is going to be like "ZOMFG NOW I HAVE TO CAST SPECTRE TWICE?! IT'S NOT WORKING!!!2222".

So why can't totems cast twice when linked to spell echo? The gem was introduced to be a buff for self casters. Having a Spectre do casting for you is not self casting.

Totems are not Minions.

That's your asnwer? Minions are not players.

Yes, that's my answer.

I was editing my first post while you were replying, so you didn't get the edit. But Spell Echo was put into the game as a buff to self casters. Totems are not self casters. They are proxy casters. Minions are also proxy casters and shouldn't get to use it.

They are not the same proxy casters - when your totem dies, you recast it. When your spectre dies, you cannot recast it, unless you are in a map where the dead spectre bodies are or you use desecrate.

In addition the spectres were self casters before they died and just follow your will after being raised again.
