Stygian revenants - GGWP

Obviously broken every summoner in the game using them, as if summoner wasnt good enough now they get jewels with minion buffs Lol, seriously I don't want to play a summoner just because you created a monster that shoots 10 bullets in a second that do 5k each.

I think I saw someone right before the patch restart roaming with 6 revnants. I tried using spell echo right now but I can still only get max 3 spectres, is the double spectre snapshotting removed from the patch?
Salty chimp come forth to me and show this OP who thinks the world is OP.

Tell me guy do you know what it takes to make them do that amount of damage? Let me show you



~ Set - > Minion damage 15% X 5 times as a JEWEL
~ Set - > Minion damage NODES 15% all nodes

That's investment right now which is obviously intended


Now compare this to a lets say my god tier archer or my working other SRS char? *Smirk there fucking garbage compared to this char of mine. Now lets copy and paste Salty's actions here simply because he has more experience then I do despite I play 24/7.

pfffft , im sorry boem this made laugh , i am also using these *op* specters in my guild , four of them with 210% minion damage , ee , quad curse . but you wana know something entertaining im not even top 10 in my tiny 20 man guild.

for one thing they dont have much offscreen capacity , they are spell casters meaning they have same off screen potential as .. all spells which really is not much at all. do they have more than melee builds , absolutly. do they have more than other specters sure . mostly because they have so many more projectiles that can miss the main target and travel to new ones. but do they have the most? nope. not even close. specter ai limits specters to hitting things that you recently clicked on / or cast an attack on which means their focus will always be on or near screen.


they do not hold a candle to any bow build and they never will. (keep it classy bow builds you lucky pricks)



you think their damage is special? then clearly you have never ever played with frenzy elemental bow players .

my guild buddy does 50k dps chain split arrow and carries a full guild map party by him self.

and he doesnt even hold a candle to my other guild buddy who is coc and is doing 800k aoe dps.

or how about the srs and their 500k dps ?

yeah when i look at all these players and then back at the revenants i cant help but laugh at how inconsequential and meaningless it all is.

this build is getting attention because it is using a shiny new mob on a shiny new league . if i had a choice i would use undying incinerators in a heart beat in numerous situations over the revenants.

the popular summoner build is powerful. more powerful than many builds. but it has far less to do with revenants and far more to do with being able to have 250% minion damage , 4 specters , 8 zombies and then 20 - 30 srs for a pittance.

so many builds these days do stupid damage and have stupid clear speed that i cant fathom why people think the revenants are some how special. I will make the consession that summoner can buff and debuff alot but as that 50k dps ele bow guildy put it.

"i one shot everything already in a full party , why the heck would i need debuffs?"

you think you saw something and just assume it's double spectre snapshot? Wtf?

You can have 6 spectres right now with dual wield midnight bargain, vis mortis and bones of ullr
Nice, I might resurrect my summoner to have some fun before Revenants get hit with the inevitable nerf bat.

Their DPS isn't very comparable to undying alchemist however they are a bit tanky and stay back. Their AoE is also lacking in terms of high tier map play.

The investment is real, but you know what keeps summoner balanced? The fact they don't Leech and now the fact that mobs don't target summons 100% of the time.

Totems are dead atm endgame because they don't take enough attention and the only way to element efficiently is behind 9 zombies... Otherwise you die

ehh, you have to also understand that in terms of specter balance things are unfairly skewed to what ever semi competent monsters happen to inhabit the highest ilevel area in the main game.

This has happened with every new act

when it was just act 1 and 2 people were talking about how powerful degen bears were at murdering bosses

when it was the first half of act 3 it was all about the solaris flame sentries / burned miscreations

then the rest of act 3 came out and the word of the next 6 months was evangilist

and now here we are in act 4 and shocker there is a minion in the harvest that is not a half bad specter.


revenants are the go too specter because they are the best specter monster in the harvest . period. they have great clear speed dont get me wrong , but they are notably weak in other areas compared to other minions.

evangelists are still far superior for running dangerous bosses
undying incinerator still have superior single target and small scale aoe dps ( especially in enclosed spaces)

the problem with those is that they are ilevel 67 and 64 , and revenants are ilevel 70 , 3 -6 levels to a minion is massive.

so of course revenants are dominating poe, they have a 2 -6 level advantage over the competition
I keep dreaming of a day where the Spectre gem controls the scaling and the corpse you raise just determines what AI/skills get used.

It really sucks that the best spectres are determined in large part by what spawns in the highest level non-map zones. It sucked with Flame Sentinels, it sucked with Evangelists, and it sucks with Revenants. (Also, where the fuck are the "interesting" Act 1/2 enemies?)

It similarly sucks that whenever they need to nerf a monster because it's too scary/rippy, spectre summoners get randomly nerfed as well.
revenants are great but too noisy, so i dont use them. not interested in hearing that metal scraping noise 3000 times an hour, id start eating my feet after half a day of grinding
