How would you modify gem setup and/or passive skill tree if you are using guards instead of fire-eaters?

If you're using SGs, swap Faster Proj -> GMP.

Just tested: Flame dash can jump gaps in game like broken bridges. Frostblink no.

Yeah, I was very disappointed by that. Frostblink feels really nice to use, but is useless if there is intervening terrain (I wonder if a rock would block it like with Shield Charge...).

is weapon swapping to get higher lvl spectres from desecrate no longer viable?

NOTE: Storm Brand and Flame Dash should be 1/20

does that mean keep them at lvl 1? not sure.

1: If you don't mind using a +1 chaos wand as your main weapon, you won't need to weapon swap for it. This will most likely mean you use a magic (blue) wand as your main weapon, which is fine.

2: Yes. There is no benefit to using a levelled storm brand because we just use it to apply curse and Elemental Equilibrium. Even 20% quality is of minor benefit (10% faster cast speed). So keep it at level 1. High level Flame Dash has a faster cooldown on the stored uses, but the spell can be used 3 times before needing the recharge, so actually level 1 is fine. 20% quality gives 20% cooldown recovery, which is useful but not vital.

I'm sure it's been confirmed, but you can get fire eaters in 'the coast' right outside of town, you don't have to go to the ledge either. Just did it about 2 minutes ago. This is fantastic.

There's been conflicting experiences with this. Some people could get it from the coast, but some (including myself) couldn't. Ledge works 100% though.

Anyway, the good news is we can get it from Acts and not have to rely on finding them in maps. Everyone wins.

dont need faster casting linked to flame dash anymore.
could put convocation in its place to drop an unset ring for easier gearing.
or move dash+zealotry links to shield, cwdt+phase run link into boots with added inc duration

Hm. I'll look at optimising the build again a little later. Faster Casting does give a small benefit to the cast time of Flame Dash, but it's not vital, I guess.

Auras don't do well in shields because of accidental (or deliberate) weapon swap. Balancing the gems is always super tricky because I would like inc duration with IC+CWDT...

I'm so confused, am I supposed to be going and getting the fire eaters every time they die? Or should i just be getting any spectre while leveling up? Atm level 54, and this character really sucks

I've been debating taking mistress of sacrifice over puppet master. I know you'll lose some damage but will gain a lot of movespeed and duration for phase run/offerings. Thoughts?

If I read the skill description properly Desecrate can summon corpses of mobs in a map or corpses of previously used specters as well. so you probably only need to get them initially and should be able to re-summon them using desecrate to summon corpses. I'm sure someone will correct me If I am wrong

When you bring a spectre into a zone, that spectre gets added to the pool of corpses. So what you want to do is grab the fire eaters from act 1, go to the highest level area you have access to, and desecrate to find fire eaters that are now equal to that zone's level.

So once you have them setup, just refresh them every once in a while when the monster level in your highest available zone has raised a few levels compared to when you last summoned them.

with the changes to movement skills with legion, the first cast of flame dash is instant. you just have to adjust your playstyle to leave around a half second before casting it again and theyll always be instant (as long as you have charges)

has anyone tested the blind proc rate with just the mod on wand? might be able to drop the gem and put the coh setup in shield. storm brand hits pretty often it might suffice. i removed the swap weapon keybind a while ago to avoid the issue of auras dropping so i forgot that was a thing lol.
theres also an endgame option of shaper base gloves with built in blind to drop the gem and add a second curse. it also gives up to 10% global blind chance on hit but not sure if it stacks with weapon mod or support gem. only 5 points to whispers of doom, can get doedres ring/ammy corrupt or multimod chest like in the advanced gear section.

with the increased base duration for immortal call, i think it would benefit a lot (as well as phase run of course) from inc duration gem compared to pre-3.7
