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

Hi.

I'm an inexperienced player and I've been trying this build. I'm currently level 69.
I love this build. It has been a great way to learn many of the mechanics of PoE.

I've been going over your build, studying it, trying to figure out how it works. Initially, I couldn't figure out how you met the Dex requirement of your skill gems, but then I noticed your Ancient Sight Ghastly Eye Jewel has +15 to dexterity. It took me over an hour to figure that out. lol.

When I looked at at your stats screenshot, my mind was blown.




You show that you have an evasion score of 2015.

How in the world do you obtain this? As far as I can see, you don't take any passives that increase evasion and I don't see increased evasion on any of your gear.

I'm stumped.
I can't for the life of me figure out how you did this. What am I missing?

I'm using 3 Flame Golem & 4 Vanguards.

I'm currently using Scourge/Victario's Charity, was going to have a weaponswap to a 2nd Scourge & a Tukohama's shield in the offhand for bosses. After doing some searching, there seems to be differing opinions on the shield after the nerf.

I've seen someone say they never or almost never drop a 2nd totem now, and I've seen some say they still do, just not two at once.

Has anyone done any testing on this? Don't want to dump 3ex into something that might do nothing.

Thanks.

Not worthwhile anymore. Unless you drop one of the gems for increased duration, you'll never get 2 totems. Maybe if you dropped the shield... but even then I'd likely sell it and use the exalts to buy something more useful.

You don't need Rathpith AND Lazhwar's, that will be well over max block.

The only way I've made my AG survive high tier red maps, guardians, and shaper, is to put him in a +2 minion gems helm, with AG / Minion Life / Fortify / Empower level 3+.

Alternatively, when I wasn't willing to dedicate a 4L just to his survival, I have run him in the weapon or shield slot with minion life and fortify, and unsummoned him when he starts to take damage by weapon switching - press X twice. Then I can resummon him after the battle.

Recently, I've actually dropped my AG entirely.

Thanks mate... The helmet just seems so good with the armor and all it's stats, but I guess a yellow helm with +2 socketed to gems/minion gem is the way to go, it seems.

Section "4 - Gem Links" says that "Chance to Ignite" can be used to support Spectres.

But Chance to Ignite skill gem can only support skills that hit. Scorching ray totems used by Tukohama Vanguard do not hit, they apply damage over time debuff.

I checked on my totem build. Chance to Ignite indeed does not support Scorching Ray (neither Spell-totem not self-cast).

Any other shield you would recommend for bosses? As victario would be almost useless in that situation.

Drop it on the ground in a map - or any area with monsters - hover your cursor over it and cast the spell.
