Kay, how do you feel about Tentacle Miscreation as spectres for 3.15 instead of frost auto scouts?


Unfortunately they are too squishy :( The base life mod is 96% (FAS is 360% Crabbie is 600%).

10k poison spiders:


Also, if I'm running spectres, is it still useful to run withering touch + syndicate operatives? Or are the Chieftans + lifetap better?


Full withering stack is 90% increased chaos damage taken. It's a big boost for chaos damage! Another option is spell totem + withering.

10k spider build uses poacher's mark for curse. 20% quality = 5% chance to get frenzy charge on hit. The spiders should have full charges in endgame boss fights :) so don't need chieftains :)

is there a chance to mix spectre in a pure spectre build?

like Primal Crushclaw + a ranged spectre (???)
or will it always be a bad idea?
thx

Spectres list


You can mix ranged with range or melee with melee because they use same support gems. But ranged and melee don't mix because of different support gems. eg. using GMP for ranged spectre but melee spectre just get the -26% damage an no benefit. :(

Maybe you can try a ranged spectre that comes with LMP (Frost Sentinel) but melee support gem (multistrike) is not useful for them.

The Elemental Equilibrium Keystone Passive Skill now applies 25% Exposure of the Elements not Hit with, removing Exposure of the Elements you Hit with. It's now an easy way to apply a strong Exposure effect rather than a huge damage boost that we balanced Elemental Damage over Time Skills around. Some other skills have been reviewed because of these changes.

We will be looking at pure Elemental Minions to determine what changes are needed here.

Moved the Elemental Equilibrium Keystone Passive to the Ranger section of the Passive Skill Tree, where there is much less existing access to Exposure for Elemental builds and access to Skills that rotate Elements, such as Wild Strike.


RIP Elemental Equilibrium

The Aura Cluster Jewel type can now be found on Small Cluster Jewels, rather than Medium Cluster Jewels. This makes it more costly and less impactful to stack large numbers of Aura Cluster Jewels. The small Passives now grant 6% increased Reservation Efficiency, instead of increased Aura Effect.


Uf...

I'm curious how hard it hits minions with this changes

What do you think about EE nerfs? Time to switch to pure phys spectres?

It's a big DPS loss against bosses. GGG said they will look into it, so I think just wait for patch notes. I hope we get something like ele pen for minions (players get Prism weave, heart of flame etc)

I just did quick check by taking off EE:
Carrion 100% cold with EE no frostbite: 2.74M
Carrion 100% cold without EE no frostbite + swap ele damage -> cold pen: 1.83M

We can use a trick to get EE if we really want it. Malachai ring + elemental minion can trigger EE.


But it's exposure now, so doesn't stack with elemental army.

Pure phys build might be better in 3.16? Or chaos conversion? :P

If we change to minion life with renewal + fiends:


Carrion 100% cold without EE + no frostbite + aura cluster: 1.83M
Carrion 100% cold without EE + no frostbite + minion cluster: 1.69M


So it looks like about 40% damage nerf. Might be less if GGG decides to give us something instead.

We also lose 4% regen for our necro from replenishing presence if we change to minion medium cluster!


Another idea is use Elementalist with Frost Bomb + AoF + Mastermind of Discord = 40% cold exposure. Might be interesting for cold conversion golem build?

Well, that's some not so great news regarding the EE change, but they did mention a note about something for pure elemental minions, which makes me happy as someone who prefers FAS instead of Syndicate Operatives.

That leads me to my question Kay, if we prefer using FAS instead of Operatives what should we be looking for with our gloves instead of Triad Grips and cluster jewels seeing as they can't crit? I know Operatives are probably a bit better, but I really enjoy using these guys and playing SSF with crap gear to start they are definitely better early on.
Cold Convert SO's rest in pepperoni, lmao. It's like they intentionally want to decrease active player numbers even further, they did a good job with it in 3.15.
Feels kinda sad about the EE change.

The pure spectre build I have for this current league already felt kinda bad compared to previous leagues, and they're "taking EE away" on top of that...
I really hope they give us something nice in exchange.
