Is there a different way to generate frenzy charges? I'm using your updated pure spectres build (redemption sentries) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_JOWAly-q8&t=747s

Holy Flame Totem seems weird for me, do we have any alternatives?

I am wondering the same thing, if there's some way to not use the flame totem.

Currently running a mix of starter and pure spectre version (basically kept the bone offering setup, changed most everything else).

Perhaps there's some way to automate frenzy generation, without resorting to Necromantic Aegis?

Or could I perhaps forego frenzy charges completely and grab a %life on block shield?

And lastly, with Haste in the helmet, am I better off keeping it linked to generocity, or should I unlink it, to benefit from move speed and cast speed?

I loved playing with ranged spectres. I used to play Frost Sentinel Spectres with Raise Spectre
+ Spell Echo Support
+ Minion Damage Support
+ Elemental Focus Support
+ Deathmark Support
+ Greater Multiple Projectiles Support.

After reading your guide and trying out Redemption Sentries, I've noticed a few things that made me wonder why you had recommended Redemption Sentries in your guide, instead of Frost Sentinels (which strangely had never mentioned at all).

1. The action speed of Redemption Sentries is noticeably slower compared to Frost Sentinels, and some of the skills used by Redemption Sentries have really long cooldown. While the damage might be somewhat higher (150% damage compared to 120%), slower attack speed means I have to spend more time trying to dodge monsters while waiting for my spectres to hurry up and kill the mobs.

2. Resummoning the spectres (in case the spectres were unsummoned or dead) is a complete hassle for Redemption Sentry summoners. Unlike Frost Sentinel summoners who could quickly warp to Act 8 to resummon more Frost Sentinels, it is rather difficult to get Redemption Sentry to spawn.

3. The clearing gem set-up (4B2G) is different from bossing set-up (5B1G), therefore the gem-swapping may not be feasible for players without a white socket in their six-linked equipment (e.g leaguestart).

Additional questions:
A. Why would you recommend using Arc to trigger Elemental Equilibrium, when we could use Storm Brand (which is already linked to Curse on Hit Support and Elemental Weakness) to achieve the same thing?

B. Why are we using Pierce Support for mapping instead of Chain Support? If Pierce is superior to Chain, would it be better to just use Frost Sentinel spectres since the Ice Spear naturally have infinite Piercing ability?

Is it normal that I have to make a new animated guardian after relog...? That skill dosent feel really good to me.

What do you guys think about casual avatar of fire (it's two passive points away) for frost bombs -25% cold res along with elemental weakness curse on hit (basically the base build with avatar of fire, since I have amulet annoint I have extra passives)

Viable?

Do my minions count as me for the purposes of Elemental Equilibrium?

Or do I need to inflict some damage myself?

I spend most of my time in fights running around, but do drop in a Stormbrand every so often, is that sufficient to keep triggering the EE, or do I need to be more active?

You dont have to make a new AG. He keeps all the items, unless he dies. Just summon him after relog and done.

The Pure Spectre guide says no cluster jewels, but there is a cluster jewel slot taken on passive tree and a cluster jewel added...

why get +1 spectre gems on boots if we already get 25 from wand and amulet?

Still levels up our spectre monster level

So im making the King Animate Guardian and he died 2 times so far with the exact same items in the guide. Am i missing something? One death was Sirus 8 and one tier 3 garden monsters
