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

Hi there,

Second league in a row that I play this build in nearly SSF - play sometimes as a duo -(not as a starter though).
This league has been generous to me with an early Vis Mortis drop, which I 5 linked. I just got Advancing Fortress too. Lazhwar stone, Ullr boots and Skullhead are in my possession too.

One thing I've found is that Daresso's Courage can be a great shield to use if, like me, you don't have any shaper/elder shield. The shield has no life but 12% all res, +6% base block chance and 20% added block chance as follow-up. Bringing me now at 75/75 without any reckless defence.

Right now I'm lvl 87, done most of T11, and some T12/13 without any problem (softcore btw).

And I have not done Uber Izaro yet

EDIT : If you lack dex, you can take the +30dex nodes in the tree. I had 2 until recently, and I still have 1 +30dex nodes allowed

Hello!
What's better for a non-rich player, Tabula 6-link (3 spectre) or Vis Mortis 5-link (4 spectre)?

ATM used Tabula :

1.Solar Guard
2.Minion damage
3.GMP
4.Elemental Focus
5.Spell Echo
6.Controlled Destruction

but i'm thinkin about change to Vis Mortis 5-Link

I tried to upload my character to the PoB and compare the data. I did not find Solar Guard. Instead of it I used Flame Sentinel. Following the figures, the total damage remains the same. I do not know if such an exchange makes sense

which option would you choose in my situation?




Same situation, I chose 5L Vis Mortis and dropped Elemental Focus with Solar Guards
ok im buck after rip my pers (internet problems)

that my new gear

Spoiler


block chance without rumi: 49/59 (with rumi = 64/75)

now i ude 3x TV and 4x f/golems with 20 ch deal dbl damage =)

/and yes i crft this helm 2day ^^



nvm i rip it later :D

Hey dude, thanks for writing a guide!

I am using your guide as the base for my first hardcore character, but have a couple of questions :)

1) Im seriously struggling to find "Flame Sentinels" in the solaris temple, i am ONLY seeing assault ribbons and galvanized ones. No flame ones, am i doing something wrong or am i just unlucky, or an idiot :)

2) Im seriously struggling to gain enough dexterity to use some of the gems you suggested. My desecrate is really low level due to not having dexterity, and i cannot use the anger aura even at level one due to not having the required dex, as suggested i used the +dex +all res jewel from quest reward but its just not enough, what do you recommend,. as obviously a high level desecrate is imperative to this build, and i cannot simply buy one as this is my first hardcore character :P


Thanks!


1. just gotta keep desecrating until they appear. maybe reset the instance after 4-5 attempts with no luck

2. i usually slot a careful planning jewel into the socket south-east of mind over matter to take care of pretty much all dex requirements until late game gearing where ill get dex on rings/ammy

Try the Battlefront in front of the Solaris Temple, thats where I find mine consistently. Else, just port to Battlefront and use desecrate until you get a Flame Sentinel corpse. Easier to find one that way than going hunting.
Thanks for the replies!

I eventyually realised i was being dumb, and flame sentinels are not a guaranteed spawn. Resetting the instance a few times sorted the trick, having a lot of fun with them atm :)

JKust started act 5, linked my Flame sentinelks with Minion damage - GMP - spell echo. Is this the most optimal or am i missing a trick?
You can buy a tabula rasa, and/or get someone to desecrate some solar guards or TVs in your hideout.

Did burning spectres in abyss and cleared all content in the game except hall of grandmasters. Did it again in bestiality league as my league starter. Made one change this time as an experiment and I love it so far. As part of my leveling setup I had a 3 link skele totem in a wand, and I liked having it so much that later on I made a skeleton spell totem in a hungry loop ring with spell totem-minion life-blind-culling strike in the ring with a 20/20 summon skeleton in the socket. 1 button click gives me 9 extra meat shields (8 skeles + the totem), that are continuously spammed right on top of the monsters, and that blind and cull bosses. It did make it a bit harder to get overcapped resistances, but overall, i've found it to be a very good layer added to my various layers of defense. It's a tanky build, and this makes it even tankier. :D
That, that is, is. That, that is not, is not. Is that it? It is.
Played this build last league and had a great time so I decided to do it again.

Here is a question that I wondered about last league and it has come up again with my leveling this one.

Under the leveling section natt says:

"
28: You should hit Death Attunement and the extra spectre right about the time you hit 28


But following his skill progression:

"
Mana nodes -> Deep Wisdom -> Lord of the Dead -> Heart and Soul -> Occultist's Dominion -> Mind over Matter -> Inspiration -> Elemental Equilibrium (EE) -> Shaper -> Potency of Will -> Cruel Preparation -> Death Attunement


I see no way of hitting Death Attunement until the mid to late 30's.

Am I selecting my skills in the wrong order?


Edit----------
I got Death Attunement at level 34 so it was not a big deal. As I had a Wraithlord Bone Circlet which also became useable a level 34, everything worked out well. Now I have the Spectre's in the Wraithlord and am using a Reverberation Rod for the SRS and life is good :)
