I did another leveling test run with the tips you guys gave me. Some things I found:
In act 1-3, it helps to craft flat fire damage to spells on your wands (magic wand + alt + ruby ring) to boost the damage of HFT and WoC. Once you're level 20, do the same recipe with a rare ruby ring for even more damage.
I think act 3 is too early to switch to Spectres, they still die all the time and constantly re-raising them is a huge waste of time. HFT + Skitterbots + WoC carry you easily until Normal lab. Once I had Mindless Aggression and all the defensive minion clusters, I dropped Skitterbots and used Spectres + Zombies + HFT + WoC. My Animation flask and HFT were then enough to keep the Spectres alive in most situations.
Other than that, the leveling guide is great, and I can't wait for Harvest to start!
Maybe one with +1 fire gems and one with fire dmg?
**Nvm forgot this craft is gone and swapped for the flat dmg

Yea the crafting can be forced, it wont be free but jeez it will be cheap :) god damn!
mind giving me the TLDR of what you're talking about, because I am obblivious and ignorant and not seeing it
+1 on that - i would also like to see some explanations to this technique :)
Craft a helm with +3 minion gems and socketed gems are supported by x minion damage support.
then if no free suffix, anull and pray. if you hit a suffix, craft prefixes cannot be changed. scour the item. If you have a prefix free, gg craft a good life/Es or filler there. Then use cold craft To Add a cold modifier with lucky values. This can now according to Craft of exile only hit the hypotermia link. As its the only suffix counted as cold.
Then get a caster seed and craft with Caster modifiers are lucky. this can now only hit % crit to socketed spell gems as this is the only suffix with the caster tag.
Then you have a +3 hopfully god rolled helm.
Thats the easy way i see it done. Might be a even better way to get the prefixes set. But i just read trugh the crafting fast.
Oh and Should you be unlucky with the tiers of the crafts, you can now either target anull with the same crafting method. or use the T2 Primal Scrabbler Grain to divine the tier of the crafts, either all of them, the prefixes or the suffixes :)

This is my starter build again :) but wondering what happened pledge of hands build?
Kayella said it will be discontinued because you can get more damage and survivability w/ the wand and shield version.
Previously, you sacrificed survivability for more damage w/ PoH, but after the nerf to amount of spectres per gem level, it's a lot harder to get the 4th spectre w/o +1 spectre on a wand.
It wasn't that hard to get 5 spectres with PoH wihout even needing Empower. 21 Gem, +1 Int Gem Neck, +1 Chest, +1 Level Boots. The survivability was the biggest issue with PoH but usually you killed things before they could hit you.

Thanks for feedback.
I think I play spectre for a long time, so for me I can keep them alive vs dominus or act 4 Piety. I think if people are new to spectres it's a little tricky.
It was super bad in old days because spectres has 20% less life at level 1 gem.
