{3.2.0} Spectral Gods: [Life Based Spectre/Golem Hybrid Summoner | Clear Speed | End Game Bossing]

@Litearthin

After testing a few things. Going out of your way to shock and apply EE isn't necessary. It does increase your minion dps but after the damage changes to mobs the extra dps is more than enough. Dual curse is all you need. I rather spend these points into more hp now.

1) Does shock stacking from static blows with temp chains even last long enough to be beneficial? -- I personally noticed a difference in kill speed, but do not know if this is due to EE or shock stacking.

shock is an overall 40% "more" damage per stack. This is pretty significant as it multiplies the damage by a further 1.4X per stack. From testing a few things mobs will most likely die within the first volley of tentacle miscreation's attack. Shock and EE is most beneficial vs blue and rare and bosses.

2) Do Sentinels have enough killing speed without EE/Shocking to be viable or are Tentacle Miscreations a must? --I believe theres a threshold as a summoner, essentially you must kill things before they kill your minions, to be efficient.

As of now tentacle miscreation far outdamage sentinels in my opinion. Their offensive ability counts as an "attack" and this alone allows you to stack damage auras and use rather op gems like WED or added fire.

@Tizid
The trees you link are empty

IR is better because there is a huge difference between 500 armor vs 10k armor. Exploiting the combination of grace + determination will give you tremendous amounts of armor.

I plan to build my Summoner a little bit different as i want to maximize the number, life and dmg of all minions

you'll want to spec minion damage over health. Remember zombies can always be resummoned pretty fast.

I can tell u now my

20% Q lvl 20 zombie gem in a +2 helm = 13,336 hp. (more than enough) with minion health support its around 18,000

WED works on titty bitches? thats new..are you sure?? i need a dev to confirm that sicen you're not using an elemental dmg weapon, and why chain? it chain off like 1 proj, doesnt seem worth it since pierce is alrdy OP

WED works with auras

I like chain for indoor maps. and offscreen kills makes my life a whole lot easier. There seems to be a lot more chaining bolts than just 1. I just want to cover as wide of an area as possible.

Hi, so I've been playing a summoner in anarchy following tuko's guide then I stumbled upon your thread and now I wanna do your build because I think it's superior. :) I'm currently level 66 and I've beat merc piety solo when I was still level 61. I'm currently leveling in docks. anyway here's my current passive tree -

I'm kinda lost on where to go now.. I still have 16 refund points left.

here's my current gear -


PS. I have a malachai's simula helm which I can use to cast non % auras from my HP. current HP is around 1300+. ES is about 900-1000 with discipline

what about in terms of leveling. I cant get IR until like end end game following this skill tree

What is your attack spell after update?

It seems like you're not using arc anymore.

I tried using shock nova quality for a while. But now I just dual curse. The extra damage doesn't seem necessary anymore when using titty-bitches and after the mob damage changes. Most packs will die just when u finish dual cursing. If you find the need you can still use arc + ele pro.

IR is end end game. you'll want to grab enough hp% node first than go there.

Could i get some advice on where to go next and what to upgrade?

I was following your old guide for awhile then decided to refund some skills and switch to this one for the armor.

Current passive tree:


Current Gear:


Some obvious upgrades are Midnights bargain, 6link armor, and a +2 helm instead of a plus 1, but other then that i have no idea. Just find the same stuff with more hp/chaos res?
With my current setup i max all my res except for chaos. Have 7100 armor and 1.5kish HP.

As for my passive tree. For my next few levels i plan to get discipline and training then the Chaos res node, then more HP nodes. I'm leaving shock for now because its boring just cursing things.

As for gems I think I'm pretty much set. All that's left is buying a GMP and a quality Zombie/Specter. I decided to ditch clarity I have no mp problems what so ever with the 100mp/sec I get.

I'm also thinking of ditching skeletons all together or at least just leaving it by its self in a slot just for when i need a distraction. Right now all use it for is summoning a few before i enter a room.

My ideal gem setup would be.


Some input would be nice, but other then that this guide and your old one has been pretty helpful.

Also, How the hell do I use remote mine? I was messing around with it earlier and cannot for the life of me figure out how to mine the correct monster i want to summon.

And one last random thought, If I plan to continue to use arc. Would elemental equilibrium be a good thing to get? I would think making this Fire res even lower for minions would be a good thing. Though I'm not to sure. I just noticed it being close bye to where I am. Doesn't even have to be Arc, I could switch to Freezing pulse or something cold related.

matt c - do you not run midnight bargain on purpose or have tyou just not found one yet?

Its too dangerous. Since your EB and life is your only damage buffer. over 3k hp and you'll start losing over 1k hp when using MB. I prefer safety over clear speed.
