spectre HP nerf

Now you need an extra support gem to make spectres survivability comparable with previous league equivalent, as they lost ~30% HP.

My arena master is like a cockroach, cant die, no support gems or anything t16/conquerors/sirus, on the other hand, frenzy/power chieftain monkeys die very fast and I have to spam convocation and shield thingy, and go to part2 act7 and hunt them again.

lvl21 spectre gem, no support, I'm doing carrion golems also got minion lifesteal.

So, for rippy situations, I just port out, heal them and then go back in, and there are many rippy situations nowadays, my 8 auras help them a bit+headhunter buffs, but that isn't enough always.

Dps is lower than RS but their base hp is humongous. They also have nice all-res which makes it easier to cap max resists.

Just cast desecrate on the floor in your hideout and you can raise them there :)

Basically the small group of strongest spectres are still fine while all other options are non-viable. I think the nerf really should have targeted that top group of spectres rather than taking away a lot of choices.

Outside t19 plenty of support specters are still ok.

I am not even playing necro or aurastacker but my chieftains die mainly at al8 Sirus. Some other more tanky specters were fine there too, but I do not really depend on them so cannot be bothered to swap.

Disclaimer: plenty of minion regen, minion max resists, minion life/level hat, fortify AG, and no dps supports to prevent deaths of specters in reflect maps.

With aura stacking necro I imagine most dps specters still work.

They need to fix all Spectres to the same base HP so all of them can be used
