Hi, i am looking for assistance how to improve my build step by step, i am struggling to do t5 maps with my current gear (3 slave driver , 8 zombies) :
-I tried to play with sentries but they deal almost no damage even if i have hatred (gems : spectre - minion damage - deathmark - elemental damage - elem focus - Greater Multiple Projectiles Support ) .
Without GMPS, mapping is pure pain because they shoot only 1 arrow each time .
The end goal is obviously to have convoking wand, bone helmet ( i dont understand why we use +2 gem lvl , zombies are lacking a lot of damage) ,+1 int on amulet, boots with +1 spectre.
Problem is : i am stuck doing t5 maps, i will take me ages to get this gear because every item is worth multiples exalts (im a bit new to poe) .
Currently working 1st time on Spectr-based build (2 previous leagues i was playing Zombiemancer).
I know my gear is VERY basic at the moment, not even 20/0 gems etc, but it's not the case.
I use RS - realy nice playstyle from my point of view :)
But i have 2 issues:
1) Those monsters with "bubles" around - is there any other way than just dash into the buble and summon minions in it?
2) Blight. I was tring to run rare blight t1 map - made epic fail.
Now on t7 map i got blight encounter - also failed.
Is there any gem swap needed for such encounters? Like replacing Less into Greater projectiles or what? As my RS were able to smash everything on the begining, but then there were just too many monsters + 2 bosses at same moment... and it was just t7 map :( without any specially painfull mods on it.
1- Dash into the bubble, convocate RS in, Dash out. Suck, but its really the most effective way I've found.
2- Just need to level up your gear. I'd also suggest a combination of cold towers (for slowing) and meteor and minion towers. I basically make nodes of 1 minion and one slow tower that overlap. I then make 3 or 4 meteor towers and just let everything go ham. Keep vall skeles up.
I spent a lot of time making examples with three level (no cluster, one cluster, double cluster). But I want to check cluster jewel in Harvest first. BiS jewel is large + renewal + vicious bite + 2 socket (+feasting or +raze)
Craftofexile gives 0% chance to craft.
On trade there is only 2 for sale. 20ex and 35ex.
I think the BiS cluster is too expensive to buy or craft now. So, I will make the update video without cluster. So it can be realistic build.
I will try to finish it on Thursday! I hope everyone will like the update - I have use some mechanics and new combination to get more damage from Redemption Sentry
Kay, A suggestion might be for the single cluster to list the a couple of large and medium jewels from worst (but cheaper) to best (but very expensive).
I've been playing around with Craft of Exile and you are right. Getting BiS Large is going to be impossible this league. So Perhaps the idea should be when crafting if you hit 2 large sockets, we want the following list of notables from best to worst, then list them.
@Kayella
Creating such jewel isn't that hard, but it's not cheap as well - especially with current price on "base cluseter jewels". In delirium, i was able to craft 2x Renewal+Vicious+Feastin +2 sockets for myself - spent on each about 4-5ex (but the base was worth 40-50c, not 1-2ex like now)
Try it this league. Its not like last. They changed the weightings. A BiS large cluster with the new weightings is pricing out at about 25ex but the standard deviation is HUGE. Might be a bunch more. Plus currency prices a pretty unstable right now.
First of all, thank you for the Build, i like it and it's very fun so far (Act 4, Base Build, so i'm nowhere yet).
What i wonder is, how to level the Dex-Gems.
I only have 34 Dex from the Tree and don't see how i could max these Gems later on.
Which ones do i really need to max and where do i get the needed Dex?
I don't think that i will be able to do that with only one amulet.
Or can i ignore leveling some of them?
@Kay
If you would need the BIS Clusters in standard for video, just PM me ingame :) You can borrow 2 of those from me ;)
@Electro
It's rpetty ahrd for me to craft basicly anything right now, as i have not much time to play this league = i have almost no currecy :( But crafting is the thing that i love in POE, so later on i will definitly try to craft some nice items ;)
And regarding crafting (as this one target of craft was never used by me):
Is there any way to craft Amulet +1 int gems? Or chaos/ alterations are the only way? Used already 150 alteration and about 90c (after getting base for 1ex), and was lucky to get ONCE +1 to all... STR gems -.-'

The big problem is mod weight changed a lot for crit and it's so much harder to craft. Now the base is also expensive. I can show a build with BiS jewels, but it's like showing off fake version of build because most people can't get it.
But I can update later in league after we learn more about crafting clusters in 3.11. Maybe there is a easier way to craft BiS jewels and ofc people have more currency later too, so we can enjoy investing in the build.
will seed crafting with critical modifier works to get Vicious?

Alt/chaos is the only way. I hit mine in about 800 alterations, I think the average is about 500 so I definitely got unlucky.

I got it in about 800 too, so yeah. Still, if you get +1 to strength, dexterity, etc you can try to sell the amulet (profited about 1ex from one of those).

And totally unrelated, does the Soul Eater effect from Unending Hunger have a cap? Or can I get several hundred #% attack/cast speed?
