[3.x - Discontinued for now] Burning Spectres - Torch the Atlas - HC Shaper, Elder, Uber Atziri

"
Melt everything when i switched to 3TV + 4TV/1WM + FG setup. Currently using this helmet for flame golems.



your profile is private.. doesn't help much.. :(
again and again I need to mention this: STOP THINKING WM IS STILL VIABLE IN 3.1! because GGG hates this build thus nerfed big.

option 1: use all SG (ultra smooth clearing till T14+ boss then u would like to pull off ur balls' hair on boss)

option 2: with Vis and new elder helm use 2 SG plus 2 TV, this can make you happy on all contents.

option 3: for rich boys, use Anima stone+primo might+(primo harmony x 2), all TV in elder helm with minion damage+burning damage. flame golem in body 6 link. use 3 flames or 2 flame+stone for regen. clearing speed is little bit less satisfying than all SG, but still very very fast, then all boss(guardians/shaper etc) are jokes because of TV's OP single target dps.

for players complaining about low life on minions, try to replace Vis, that piece reduce minions life by 20% and offers very little benefit other than 1 more spectres, 3 SG or 3 TV is just as good as 4 SG or 4 TV. me myself using Belly for massive life gain plus good resis and flask bonus, beats Vis by miles.

If you are running AG build, to save your agony from losing AG gears again and again, dont start using AG till you got all lvl 20 gems plus a lvl 3+ empower, link AG with minionLife+fortify+empower. this way AG will last thru all contents easily, if you have a stone golem and/or zombies out AG will get even less hits. IMO using melee spalsh with AG is pointless, most trash died within couple seconds or too spread out, most boss fights are in single target scenarios, focus on survival is more ideal.

I'm new on PoE, so I would like to ask more about this.

So how would you setup your links? +2 minion Helmet with built in minion damage + burning damage, and then socket in Raise Spectre + elemental focus + swift affliction + minion and totem elemental resist?

What would you put on 6L armor? Flame Golem + GMP + Spell Echo + Controlled Destruction and what else? Maybe Burning damage and Minion damage socketed as well?

Is it better to run the spectres in the helm, and golems in chest?

thanks!

+2 minion in the helm is not needed for spectres, with build in minionDamage + burning damage I would link it with spectre-eleFoc-swift-firePen for TV

on Armor flameG-gmp-spellEcho-Control-minionDamage-empower4

burning damage only benefits TV greatly.

Just wanted to report the death of all the prime evils without ever transitioning into TVs.

Vaal Temple is hardly worth mentioning.

The Shaper actually managed to kill 3 Solar Guards at the beginning of p3, which ruined the deathless 1st try kill. It was still no problem after raising fresh SGs. If I had expected the danger, Convocation might have saved the guys.

Uber Atziri wasn't beautiful. I don't know if the SGs killed themselves vs the reflect clone or if they just couldn't take her regular stuff for I was too busy dodging that myself. Don't have much experience with that fight, but I'd say this is the fight where you want TVs for their reflect-proof single-target damage that gets you through the split phases as fast as possible. Took the last portal of the second set to kill her.

Elder.. I have credit for red but I'm not sure if it actually was red. The kill was long before my Vis Mortis and the Elder was on a yellow map, only 1 or 2 of his guardians were on red ones. I don't expect much though, SGs are made for this. Just remember to run to Zana before looting ;)


I am wondering if I could incorporate a pseudo 6L single target minion. Most people here try to use TVs for that and supplement them with an AoE solution. I get that this guide is primarily focused on TVs, but I prefer its defensive concept over that of the SG guides. Any ideas? No one has mentioned SRS yet? Do they have useful single target damage? Or would they just die too fast? Maybe put them on a totem with Spell Echo for some extra passive damage?

Also, both Guardian and Zombies seem quite useless vs bosses. So that's what I'd cut.



Yeah, if you don't using TV or WM, you probably shouldn't use guardian too. Zombies mostly just for additional phys reduction for you and spectres.

Also, SG definitely died to uber atziri reflect. That's for sure.

I want to try SGs again in couple of days. Will share comparison with my current build TV+golems.
guys can someone help me? I killed shaper with this build using 2 tv + 2 sg. Damage was there, it was more than enough but the problem was my spectres died 2 times during the fight, I had to port out to spawn some more. So my question is why my spectres died in the fight? Is it because of my level because I'm level 77?

Fire Pen doesn't work with TV because they don't "hit".
Trying out a variation on this build. I really don't want to build new AGs every time they die though.

I was thinking about a dual wield spectral throw with advancing fortress/dyadus linked with curse on hit to apply all our debuffs. Does this work?
