But you're not converting cold damage into anything. Here's how it works in PoB after I import your character (alternately you can mess around with a conversion calculator):
100 Physical Damage
Hatred - 35% Extra Physical to Cold (+35 Cold)
Skill - 75% Physical to Cold (-75 Physical, +75 Cold)
25 Physical Damage, 110 Cold Damage
Shield - 8% Extra Cold to Chaos (+8.8 Chaos)
Triad Grip - 100% Physical To Chaos (-25 Physical, +25 Cold)
110 Cold Damage, 33.8 Chaos Damage
The Triad Grip only converts Physical Damage, not Cold Damage. For that you'd need 100% Cold -> Chaos conversion as well.
That said, if what you say is true that you can do elemental reflect maps (physical reflect maps are obviously doable because you converted it all away) then something different may be happening. Perhaps it's different for monsters and the "skill" conversion takes lower precedence than the gear conversion. In that case it would in fact be 100% Chaos damage because there's no physical left to convert.
So question. Do your Redemption Sentries ever freeze anything? Since Freeze is based on cold damage if they're not freezing anything that'd be a clear indication that there's no cold damage.
If they do, I wonder if you could do a test for me and turn off Hatred aura. Since that's "extra" cold damage that would be your only source of cold damage if Triad Grip is converting all Physical to Chaos.
Ah got yah , my plan from the start was to use the Arena Champions but had just killed the warlord so i went : heck lets just try with redemption sentries.
So i just got home from work. I went into a map with only my spectres. No hatred , not skitters bots nothing. Also removed a abyss jewel that gave cold dmg to minions.
To be able to easier for me to see i removed GMP aswell. And their attacks sometimes does freeze mobs but that could be from the triads tho , since they have 8 % chance to freeze , shock , ignite
I also should have mentioned specifically with their bow attacks, because they do have those ice blobs they throw that are a cold spell that wouldn't be affected by Triad Grip.
You can't freeze without sufficient cold damage. A 100% chaos damage damage attack will never freeze. The fact that they freeze proves they're doing significant cold damage. You have to beat an enemies ailment threshold to freeze them, so just the tiny amount from the abyss jewel wouldn't cut it.
For you specifically, PoB calculates their attacks as 85% cold, 15% chaos. So all the Triad grip is really doing for you is enabling you to do Physical Reflect maps.
Yes it was with the normal bow attack they did it. Not a big splash or such , just the mob turned to ice
First off, thanks for the build & guide, it's great.
I'm using Pure Spectres however I don't use AG because I don't really like it. I've been using Stone Golem - Feeding Frenzy - Elemental Army - Vaal Summon Skeletons.
I'd like to transition from this into something more defensive, preferably CWDT or something similar.
Does anyone have any suggestions please?
Edit:
Follow up question: any suggestions on gloves/helm/boots enchants?
I`m using a Defensive build here, it`s work very well, check my Profile.
I have no issues with any boss, any Tier, rarely I die.
This SHield is helping a alot.
I thought you can only apply 1 curse or does skitterbot and personal curse stack?
From passives got +1 (I`m playing two curses for testing) Whisper of Doom
1. Would anyone kindly explain the change from using Pierce Support for RS to using Vicious Projectiles for mapping? Do we not need the pierce ability anymore?
2. I know we can't do elemental reflect but are we supposed to be having a hard time doing physical reflect maps with RS too?
1. Project weakness curse got pierce coverd
2. no, only elemental ref have issue
so instead of getting renewl+ random suffixs/raze pillage I got this from alt+regal. I really don't wanna mess it up, whats the best way to get renewal? add life then remove and add life harvest craft?
edit: just checked on poedb, it's 1 of 3 chances getting prefix life (renewal) unless large clusters can have 3 suffix and 3 prefix?

1. The build is using Skitterbots with Profane Proxy ring socketed with Projectile Weakness for pierce.
2. They still do about 6% Physical damage so if their damage is high enough and leech/regen low enough it can be an issue. I know last league with my souped up sentries I couldn't do Physical Reflect, they just hit too damn hard.
If you have room you can always use the 80% reduced reflect unique ring or just wait for a sextant like I do.

Oh derp I'm so dumb. I read that part about our Skitterbots and I absolutely forgot they added the pierce debuff to enemies. Oof. And yeah my RS's are actually killing themselves in physical reflect maps and I wasn't sure if that was a mod we were supposed to look out for. I haven't had to all league so far but I think with the upgrades that's probably the issue. I appreciate the reply so much!
I know my gear is fairly poor, and that my gems are mostly 19 with no quality, but I still can;t help but feel a little underwhelmed by the build.
My freezing pulse totem build was demolishing content, that my RS summoner is struggling with.
Is it just a case of needing 20/20 gems (obv 21/20 spectre) and generally better gear, or am I missing something major?
If you could check my profile and help it would be hugely appreciated.
Thanks,
I've imported your build, is it correct that you only have 3 spectres? You'll still get another 2, one from lvl 25 raise spectre and the other from the body armor. If no other numbers changed you'd get 66% more average dps from that alone, which is also not the case, since by the time you get those two spectres you'll also have the damage of 3 extra levels on raised spectre.
Heya, newb question here, what is the point of using animate guardian? What about golem instead?
Please read carefully again whole guide page 1.
You can see further in the gear notes for Animate Guardian, especially the benefit of Kingmaker.
In my opinion, it depends on your situation, there is no limit to use both of them. I have AG and stone golem at the beginning( for Life regent) then switch to AG and carion golem for dps boosting.
If you are still confused to choose, I would prefer you go with golem with straight forward benefit from them.
Thanks for the feedback, I assumed it was gear related. I am having a hard time pulling together currency this league, the Exalt drops are none-existent, and I've yet to find anything else of real value.
Will keep farming away though!
I am so busy with other stuff and I don't play much this league, so I am also really poor this league! I'm still using 3 spectres and level 19/0 gems :P
If you are just farming maps, you can try S&S with 3 RS. Even no awakened gems mapping will be easy. I can do T16 corrupted maps.
Endgame level bosses might be difficult. I had a lot of trouble with T16 Eradicator! 3x RS and low DPS is not good (also slow attack speed and spiders despawned in 2nd phase). But I swapped to RK and it was easy.
