Is there a reason to use Elemental Focus over Minion Damage for specters?

Use an elder helmet that has minion damage.

Did anyone tested if "chance to blind with attacks" on jewel work with golems and spectres? They cast spells, but u never know....

Hello :)

Yep, minion damage comes from helmet.

Btw, excellent helmet you have ;)

Hey :)

Chance to blind doesn't work with spells so Golems or totem that Specter cast wont work. It needs melee hit, so in theory Tukohama Vanguards and Animate Guardian can blind enemies, but they hit rather slowly.

Kind of confused about vanguards and totems, you can only have 1 up at a time even though you have 2 summoned? Or am I getting one and another useless tit. Seems like flame GMP did more dps and had more clear speed.

Hello :)

You should get 2x Totems from 2x Tukohama Vanguards. It might take sometimes a moment for both to summon up their totems, though. Make sure you don't have wrong type of Tukohama Specter as second Spec.

TV Specs should be dealing significantly more boss damage than other Specs in the game. Have you raised their level constantly?

Keeping Specters level up

When you enter any area while you have certain type of Specter up, it will automatically add that Specter type to the possible monster types that can be desecrated in the area. If you have level 50 Specters and want to raise them to level 60, you have to :
Enter level 60 area with wanted type of Specter raised
Start casting high enough level Desecrate to summon level 60 Corpses
Continue casting Desecrate until you find wanted type of corpse
(Optional) At this point drop all original Specters by removing the gem and inserting back again
Raise the Specter and it will be now level 60
Continue casting Desecrate until you have maximum number of Specters from the area

Hello! Made character using this build(necro), except vis mortis chest, so i can have 4 spectres. Now have around 6k shield and 2.4k life, more than 75% res, but in fight with bosses i constantly die; friend with 4+1+1 golems and hp + armour build seems much more tanky. Any advice?

Learn boss fights, dodge and kite more. At the end, it's more "knowing how to fight bosses" than "having good stats" anyway.
As you can't facetank, use offerings to have more block, but that doesn't prevent you from dying easily, make sure your flask are well rolled (stats + values I mean), and once more, avoid being hit :)

Problably been asked b4, but can't managed to find it.
How's lightning golems with that build?
Would it change something?

Hey i managed to get a Clayshaper with melee splash, however all sockets are red, what would you sub unstead of faster attack support?

Hello :)

Yep, kiting is extremely important in boss fights. I'm assuming you are playing Necromancer? If so, chance to block is not enough to let you tank and keep you safe anymore. It can save you from 1-2 bad kites as you get bit over 50%/50% block chance, but bad block from minotaur or Shaper will get you killed.

I recommend kiting boss in circle about 1/3 screen away and not stopping unless sure that its safe. Biggest hits are manifested nicely and usually pretty easy to read after getting enough practice with boss. You can also get armor flask, which may give you enough protection against biggest physical hits.

Your chars are hidden so can't comment on gear, skills or tree.

Life based chars have less total EHP (HP + ES), so they cant tank as much spells or elemental damage as their resistance is same. Hybrid has less armor so it cant tank as much physical damage, so it's always choosing either. Most summoner nodes are in high ES area and have less life nodes, so making pure life summoner seems wasteful for resources. Lots of summoner gear is also ES based.

Hey :)

Problem is that there is no cold "channeling" skill so cast when channeling links cant be used. You would want to use cold based damage for EE (Elemental Equilibrium) as Golems would do light damage and Specs fire damage.

Links would be pretty much same for Golems if you want clear speed. Golem -> Empower -> GMP -> Echo -> Minion Damage -> Cont Dest

EE skill cold be something like Freezing Pulse with GMP.

Not sure about damage or clear speed as Flame Golems are pretty OP compared to other Golems but might be worth trying?

Hi :)

You can change colors to corrupt items with Voricis bench if Vorici is level 8. Getting one green to Clayshaper costs 4 vaal and 4 chroms with bench as Clayshaper is so high STR item that other colors that red dont usually spawn.
