I'm sitting at 4,990 life and 940 ES. Is that enough for Shaper? Looking at my gear, what should I work to improve first?


Once you learn the fight, Shaper is pretty easy (and is useful learning experience for the Uber Elder fight).

I've demonstrated the Shaper fight at level 70 using only a 5L Vis Mortis that cost me 25c and rare gear I picked up while levelling through the Acts:

For your gear, you should look into upgrading pieces and just looking for items for trade with the highest life you can afford. I personally don't pay more than 10c for any piece of gear. One that that can help a lot is looking for a single resistance instead of multiple. For example, this ring only cost me 3c:

I may have been premature in saying that I like this build. Maybe it's just me and spectre's just aren't a good match or something. I'm only level 40, but my specter's die super quick when I enter the memory nexus nodes, and then I feel defenseless as I'm trying to raise whatever corpses I can in a panic, to keep me from getting obliterated... Anyone else having this problem? Once my Flame Sentinel's died in act 3, I didn't bother going back to battlefront in act 1 to get them again and just raised any corpse I could find. yea, the DPS probably wasn't as good, but I figured it would still be decent. But nonetheless, I can't seem to keep them specter's alive. I've been following the guide step by step, so I know I haven't missed anything. I don't have skels anymore, just spectre's and storm brand........Thought I'd ask for a couple of tips before I decide to scratch this build and start off with something else.......



Something must be wrong, because I expected this at end game, but not at level
40.


And just as a side note, most of my rippy problems seems to be from the memories I'm running from the nexus itself.

One of the major issues with using spectres while levelling is that GGG purposely makes them very weak. For example, level 1 raise spectre has -30% dps and -20% life. So you need to have some specific gear to boost their survivability.

Your profile is set to private, so I can't check; Are you using Wraithlord?

Another idea is to keep using raise zombies to act as a meatshield until you finish the second lab (spectres get a big survivability boost).

You can also consider skipping the league mechanic until you get to maps as it is often overtuned for levelling characters.

I get nervous running infront of spectre. These days i spam convocation and let spectre run infront.


This build plays best if you run n' gun.

1. Always be moving: to combat the logout script, GGG have put a lot of one-shots in this game and there are a lot of on-death effects and telegraphed big hits.

2. Have phase run up all the time: phasing lets you run through monsters and you get 50% reduced visibility (monsters will ignore you).

3. Shotgun packs of monsters by running into the middle of them and using convocate: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kdbv75bwyE4

Thanks Kayella for your quick response. I must have accidently set my profile to private by mistake, if you want to take a look again. Keep in mind that I'm only 40, but maybe it will point to something I missed along the way. thanks!
Yep... Belfry boss is on my shit list too. Do it once per league. avoid like the plague.

Thanks.

Which t16 map is good for sustain and leveling to lvl 100? Is 978 mana too low? After using 2 aura I have to deactivate 1 of them to summon golem, then reactivate it again.


I don't like the 10% death penalty with all the freezes and lags made on purpose for u to artificially spend more time, also some strange one-shots in the game. But Elder Orbed t16 is the best way, i would go with it if i decided to go for 100 purposly. But care with sextants, some can make some maps rly dangerous.

The sustain is also absolutely random and bad. I had better drops with 60% quality t16 random Hydra map than 5 sextants for more mobs + 35% map scarab + 120% quality Elder Underground Sea. In theory Elder map with good density + 5 white/yellow sextants. In game = full bad rng.

Especially don't do bullshit like BELFRY boss. I can run him several times in a row with 0 problems and on next he can one shot without any animation. Just skip that shit. Devs have no idea what they are doing in some part of the game, or better say they do that on purpose. Believe me, if the game had not 10% penalty - there would be so much less strange mechanic and things hapenning here-there.

You need to move the spectres to the helmet. The +2 to gem level only applies when Raise Spectre is socketed in the helmet.

You can also improve the spectre damage by raising a higher level spectre. If you look carefully at your desecrate gem, it says "create corpses up to level 41" but raise spectres says "raises spectres up to level 44". So, you're losing out on 3 spectre levels (which is around 15% less hp and damage).

What you need to do is sell a magic (blue) wand and a chaos spell gem (just buy from vendor), this will give you a +1 chaos spell wand. If you put desecrate in there, it'll be 7+1 and be able to create level 44 corpses.

The rest of your gear is fine for where you are currently at.

I'm using UGS, not much backtracking, cheap sextants, easy boss. No problem with sustain, especially thanks to memory nexus, i drop a lot of T16 there - and i unlearned all guardians, so i can only get UGS. I'm no exactly sure if i'll even run for 100, as i'm doing other challenges in the grind now, but so far i only can remember just one oneshot, from some nasty delve-like memory, otherwise all deaths are just my recklessness. So i think it's totally possible to do 100 with this build.
Yeah i enjoy UGS also, though didn't unlearn all guardians.

I can't say the sustain is great, sometimes there are 0 t16 drops, sometimes 1 t16 drop, rarely 2 t16 drops. But with buying 1 t16 each ~5-7 runs u probably can sustain it if u have not the greatest map drop rate like me.

Unlearn guardians is a good idea if u'r focused on lvling or running 1 elder map, coz guardian maps are right now 1+ chaos cheaper and it also will take your time to sell them instead of non-stop running your eldered t16.

Thanks for the awesome tips! I will try all of these during this upcoming week.
