Support spectres (Silverback and Host Chieftan) and Lifetap Support

Hi, has anyone tried support spectres (Carnage Chieftan/ Stygian Silverback/ Host Chieftan) with the new Lifetap support? Before lifetap one could link any of those spectres to blood magic and 1 spectre woulbe be able to sustain 3 frenzys or power charges.

That seems no longer possible, I've been testing diferent stuff and there is no way to reliable sustain 3 frenzys or power charges, not even with 2 of the same spectre.

Here is a video showing one of the tests:

Those are 2 Stygian Silverback linked to lifetap and they are unable to sustain 3 frenzy charges (They dont do damage because Triad Grip + Brutality, so the fight is long enough to do the test).

According to poedb.tw those spectres have a cooldown of 6 seconds on their Mass Frenzy ability and with charges having a duration of 10 seconds just 1 spectre should be able to mantain 3 charges without problem, but is not the case, not even 2 spectres can mantain the 3 charges.



Does anyone know why? My only guess is they dont use Mass Frenzy every 6 seconds but rather randomly or under some other conditon.

I've been able to get a consistent 3 frenzy charges using a Carnage Chieftain linked to Lifetap.

edit: oops, sorry that's not helpful. I missed that the Carnage Chieftain was one of the ones you mentioned.
Softcore, solo self-found.
