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.

FAS and other minions that you don't convert are actually more fun!

You can use Vixen to get +1 curse. It's trigged so you just need to curse once.


You can get rampage with Null and Void. minions can proc rampage. This is good for delve actually.


Breathstealer gives 2nd anointment and spore auras.


I also like Mercenary Lot! Use it with Poacher's mark in mapping. It's helps sustain frenzy charges because the mark jumps after monster dies

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

Small update!

I took some ideas from my old phys/impale build and changed a cold conversion carrion golem build (new build) to phys/impale! But not pure phys (no brutality) because I think breathstealer can give extra elemental damage from aura (I might be wrong here though)

Cold Conversion is 2.7M sDPS
Phys/impale is 2.4M with breathstealer (so you can get spore buffs)
2.6 with Vixen (double curse)

build also has 5L skele or spectres. 9 skeles 700k dps each or 3 SO with 214k per dagger (greater volley). Or other phys spectre (kitava, rat)

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.

Back to phys impale SO :P I made the build in 3.12 but it was not as good as cold conversion because aura clusters boost hatred too much. Nowadays it's pretty close in DPS actually :P

I think the main issue is that our minion choice will become more smaller. First ggg nerf spectres level, so we can only use tanky spectres. Now elemental minions are in trouble... so we can look at pure phys minions: carrion, stone, SO. maybe kitava's herald? maybe the expedition rat spectre? that's actually kinda funny because they can summon 12(?) rat buddies :P

Just waiting for patch notes...

but expedition might not be going core right away

after playing D2 ressurected i will forgive some of my builds for slowing killing the bosses

An elegant solution would be to buff Triad Grips. I guess we need to wait until the patch notes.

Thats total opposite of "an elegant solution" since that only help those who are using those gloves.

I was just thinking about Fleshcrafter... skeles, zombies and golems have 20% chaos res.



It's actually pretty good for skele mages because we don't need to sacrifice fire or lightning with EE proc. For bosses, self cast sniper's mark so the boss takes 40% increased damage

Most spectres don't have chaos res though... so maybe anoint Grave Intentions on Breathstealer to give 20% chaos res.

SO doesn't have chaos res, but they have 20% life as ES so no worries :)

It would help the "conversion" minion builds to stay competitive. But yeah, maybe a new minion related EE like keystone in the place of the current EE (which is going to be moved) would be way better. One can only dream... :)

I would love to see it but I can't imagine GGG gives us -50% res again :(
