If you plan on using Tentacle Miscreation more often. I Suggest you put Added Chaos Damage

really does it matter? they do such obscene amount of dmg with LMP the added chaos dmg is overkill.. even on bosses 2 of them can kill most map bosses.. but i guess chaos dmg is fine , but seems like alot of higher lvl mobs seem to be more and more chaos resistant..doesnt lightning dmg add the stacking debuff on mobs?

i would suggest LOH or LL since the Tentacle miscreations die like flies. has to be tested tho, not sure how well it works.

I like to run it with fork or chain.

They deal so much damage but at such a confined spot (even sort of with GMP) that I like to use chain to spread some of the love around.

Edit for the 3, I would run faster cast (fire off and attack something else quicker)
Chain - see above
Life leech - because I hate having to go get new spectres.

I run my spectres in a 4L so I don't know if life leech works here but I assume it would. Pretty easy to test.

They have 100% piercing so Fork and Chain will not work.

They Attack so Faster Casting will not work.

I tested chain before and it does indeed work but in a strange way. Attaching GMP and chain doesn't make all of the projectiles chain , it seems like only the original 2 streams of projectiles chain.

In the end, chain is not worth the damage penalty,

I have not tested fork yet,

For defensive options pickup lifeleach, minion hp

For offensive options pickup chaos dmg, lightning dmg, fire pen, faster attack, faster projectiles


faster attack prob producing the best dps

That's seriously weird! :S Thanks for posting!

I personally only use Minion Life, Minion Dmg and LMP on my spectres, since i'm not very picky about them.
Sure, Flame Sentinel seems to be the best out of maps, but temple is lvl 62, maps are 66+, so if i pick up something inside a map, that should be reasonably stronger right?

Also, other than sentinels and tenacle miscreations, undying alchemist and incinerator are also very strong (with LMP) imo and in some cases even cindernel elementals and voidbeareres can be used to devastating effect. Therefore i personally wouldn't use more support for the projectiles, instead something generally useful, like added lightning dmg.
