" Thanks again for the amazing suggestions and clarifications, Setissleeping! I have re-calibrated my character based on your suggestions. I still have about 8 passive points to allocate at lvl 95 (probably my max). What would you suggest? https://pastebin.com/x8216Z41 (I have also put in a Summon Animate Guardian supported by Minion Life Support gem...but am still too timid to raise a Kingmaker + Stitched Demon for fear of it dying.) |

So, I feel like my DPS is hyper low for the investment I've put in so far.
Is pure spectres just a bad bossing build or did I do something terible wrong? I'm using 5x Syndicate Operatives and all the best gems except GMP (not sure if I want to invest another 40ex in a build that doesn't seem to be going anywhere good). How do you do damage? I feel like half the time my spectres are jerking off leaving my 3ex Animate Guardian to die. |

" Sure thing. After looking at your POB, I noticed your life is a little low (4.9k~) so I would grab some more HP nodes as well as the Enduring Bond circle to increase your DPS as well. After those changes, you should have about 5.5k HP along with a nice bump to your minion DPS. " This build is exceptionally strong at bossing once you practice gathering all your SO's in a cone next to the boss so that most if not all their projectiles are hitting the boss (convocation is how you quickly perform this), dealing extreme amounts of damage in a short time, this is the shotgun effect Kay has talked about in her videos. You can also share your PoB so we can take a look, I'd be happy to help. |

" I just got this another stupid question : "Helmet build uses Hatred + Skitter + bonechill.Skitter + bonechill" So the link is generosity+ hatred+ skitter + bonechill ? | |
" You will have to use Avatar of Fire to counteract the 'cold damage to spells' mod on that helmet, or your EE will not work properly. And yes, the link would be Skitterbots + Bonechill Support + Hatred + Generosity (or preferably Aw. Generosity). |

" Do you have enough leech? Lithomancer is not good. The cast time is slow even with spell echo (and you need pierce). 🔰🌀✨ Video guides on youtube! https://www.youtube.com/KayGaming ✨🌀🔰

" I was feeling that something was off, stupid of me not to realize the cold damage/EE contradiction. Thank you : ) | |

" Hey there, here's a few things I managed to see from your POB: You are using Unwavering Stance, this kills your Lunaris Pantheon (which when upgraded, is very important for survival since projectiles can chain, and we have a lot of minions so it can be quite deadly without it) and your Jade Flask also becomes useless. I would unsocket those points and get more HP, especially the HP nodes that have chaos resistance around Purity of Flesh. I would suggest grabbing a ghastly jewel with a bit more chance to blind/taunt than 4% and 3%, at least 5% of each should be vastly better - minion movement speed is really important for crabbies as they aren't as fast as Syndicate Ops so you can also try out using feeding frenzy on your crabbies instead of Predator and see if you like that better (switch to Predator for bossing if needed). Your raise spectre gem reaches only level 26, making your crabbies only monster level 78, which is too underpowered for red maps (T16 is level 83, 5 levels above your spectres) - you should try to get them to at least level 80, if not higher. There are multiple ways to achieve this: +2 minion wand, +2 spectre lvl boots, +3 minion level helmet. Getting your spectres to high level is a lot more important than just stacking damage, here are example of those items: I also can't seem to find a ring on your setup with frostbite on hit, this is pretty nice to have as your armageddon brand is constantly splashing all the mobs around with that curse, and it's pretty useful since it adds about 20-30% more DPS to your minions. For more survivability, I would suggest removing all surging vitality small clusters and replacing them with "inc max life 7% + minion dmg" cobalt jewels, which will save you 6 points, then allocating 5 of them towards Sanctuary node for more block chance. Also, not sure if it just wasn't displayed correctly but your awakened melee phys gem is level 1 and no quality. Quality is important as it makes them have 10% chance to intimidate on hit, so more DPS. Hope this helps, good luck! |
