Spectre chest insanity.

....and we're back to SERIOUSLY comparing to cyclone, the most absurdly OP build in the game.

seriously. 11 pages. repeated comparisons to the most broken skill/builds in the history of the game - as if this is a valid comparison and every skill should be as strong as the most brokenly OP skill in the game... that's likely getting nerf hammered.

And for 11 pages you have 'argued' that it is okay for it to be by far the hardest to get rare item in game, because spectres are not the worst game in the build, and you seem to want poe to be 1 attack/second 2k hp at level 80 like newbie builds in 2013. Why you want a 0.5% of playerbase build to have to work 10+ times harder than the rest is beyond me, but then, you not once presented anything resembling an argument.

Cyclone seems to be too strong. The chest the previous poster mentioned would work just as well for any physical attack, most of which seem fairly balanced to me. And such a chest can be crafted for a few exalted worth of currency fairly easily, all you need is an elder base. If you want to craft a spectre chest...tough luck. Hence the thread.

Explain your argument if you have one then.

Hence, Belly of the Beast. Hence Kaom's Heart. Hence Lightning Coil. But wait, there are ALTERNATIVES. And they do not take 1000 hours to get. Weird.

i did in great detail, but it was conveniently and repeatedly evaded and then the thread was bumped repeatedly, without content added... i even mentioned this.

ie: you didn't try to retort anything when it was said. you just bumped.

...so now you're just naming random uniques?

...and 1000 hours? come on. plus, you play on standard. you're essentially 3 months behind (or forward, depending)... but as of today, this is easier to obtain in legion than standard, and by a factor of 3.

honestly, this should take less than 10 hours.

Great, you should have no issues whatsoever presenting your argument then!

As for Legion, I do not play actively currently, but if you can get me a rare vaal regalia with +1 spectres I will gladly give you up to my 50 exalted orbs in standard. Since it only takes 10 hours, you can easily deliver on it. Full 50 exalted for above Vis Mortis ES values, 10+ for any rare vaal regalia with +1 spectre on it.

Matter of fact, since you are convinced it is so easy, why not stream the process of finding it, or, better yet, go delve ssf for a bit? Since the game is so easy with everything being overpowered, and it only taking 10 hours of delve to get the item, it should be a pushover. Of course, I will gadly reimburse you for the 10-20 hours it will take with, say, 20 exalted orbs on top of the 50 for the chest? Heck, I can bump it up to a mirror, you ssf get a +1 spectre rare vaal regalia/astral plate/zodiac leather by Legion end , I will get you a mirror. 10-20 hours for a mirror, you are getting the deal of a lifetime!

...umm...

do you really play? 50 ex is... not much. on standard, it's pretty much nothing. one can make that in ~1 hour pretty easily by simply not being afk.

i didn't say finding it. the game isn't balanced around ssf, you know...

that said, you don't play ssf, anyway.

dude, you think i care about 50 ex or even 1 mirror... and on standard? are you serious?

the irony is overwhelming. you apparently care about standard currency, play on standard, pretend to have mirror+ of currency, but are seriously pretending you can't get a +1 spectre chestpiece on standard? come on, man.

oh, please. for starters, if it's not much better than you'd just be playing with a vis mortis instead of spending so much time in this thread.

All I stated is that it has potential to be stronger defensively. You already had one ban for personal attacks and misquoting everyone.


lolwut?

now you're pretending you know what i was banned for? hint: neither.

also, show me ONE time i 'misquoted anyone.' good luck, you'll need it. the thing about quotes... they're quotes.

i bet you can't cite a single 'personal attack,' either.

in this game, it's considered naked. for what should be obvious reasons, but since this thread exists... it offers no defenses or stats. and yes, this game requires a piece of gear to use a skill.

but I would looove to see a video of 2 6l spectres with spectres and summoner both being into negative resists, clearing t15. Since you claim it is easy, please, show us a video of it happening.


this is betrayal, all over again.

make a mundane claim. get incredulous responses. post proof of mundane claim. evasion/backpedaling intensifies, while insisting it's still impossible...

seriously. summoners are de facto the tankiest builds in the game. clearing t15s with ease should not be any kind of shocker.

And if 2 and 3 spectres is viable, then why is no one playing summoners with the power level of 4


SERIOUSLY?

you're SERIOUSLY pretending that no one plays with 4 spectres? SERIOUSLY? come on, man.

and even 5 spectres? If spectres are so strong, why is necromancer one of the least picked ascendancies, at about 0.5%? Why is raise spectre one of the least used main skills, again, at ~~0.5%?


have you seen previous leagues? gee, i wonder why there aren't many summoners IN MELEE LEAGUE? i wonder why there were so few melee chars in the last few leagues... it's so weird that trap league was full of trappers!

you're confusing power with flair (whatever's reworked, new/shiny) or kill speed.


edit: i just realized you're not even playing the league. that makes this so much weirder. you want a change that impacts leagues so you can play on standard? what?


since OP asked for it - here. just one of many. this was page 10.

Yes, I see a bunch of text, but I must be stupid, since I can't see an argument in there.

The closest thing that I can see to an argument is you stating incorrectly that summoners are de facto tankiest builds in game. Which is not true, since summoners have to forego a lot of equipment slots, passive skills and affixes in order to play with any measure of minions doing some damage and surviving any mobs, thus being not very tanky at all. Which is backed up by necromancer being hardly played at all (1-2%) in hardcore leagues.

Even if summoners were the tankiest build in game, which they are not, why would they have to work tens or hundreds as many times as hard as other classes for their endgame chestpiece?

And why are you afraid to back up your claim of easily finding such a chest in 10 hours? I am sure the community would gladly chip in, make you a prize pool if you find +1 spectre chest on endgame base in ssf delve. Could it be that you know that it takes hundreds of delve nodes for a mere attempt at a 'contains minion items'? Let alone getting a +1 spectre chest from that node, let alone on solid base, let alone with good mods?

If you do not want to do it for a mirror, do it to prove your point. I will ask a mod to close this thread if you can provide proof of finding a ssf +1 spectre chest on vaal regalia/astral plate/zodiac leather before the end of Legion. Since you claim it only takes 10 hours, you should be able to do it easily.
