what is the method used to obtain a 4th specter?

I know I have to get a level 21 Raise Specter gem, and with the ascendancy that gem goes to level 23. How do I get it to be a level 25 gem which then, I think, gives the 4th specter?

You don't need lvl 21 gem. '+3 level of socketed minions gems' helmet is enough.

cool, thank you.

Could The Queen's Hunger be a nice armour for this witch?

Trigger Level 20 Bone Offering, Flesh Offering or Spirit Offering every 5 seconds
Offering Skills Triggered this way also affect you

We could spare the ascendancy points for Mistress of Sacrifice and could take Commander of Darkness instead.

How does the "or" work here? is it just random?

And does this also mean we would not need to socket bone offering in our CWDT setup?

I think the kind of offering is randomly chosen. Not too bad, in my opinion. All three of them can be useful.

I didn't even think of the CWDT setup... So we would save ascendancy points and at least one socket... and I guess we wouldn't suffer from the malus that Mistress of Scrifice has ("Your Offerings have 25% reduced Effect on you").

Hey @wrecker,

Didn't know my characters were hidden, please have another look ! :)

P.s: Is there anyone that's following the guide that is experienced which i can stalk their profile? Just to compare things and such :-)

Hey nleugbal! GGG automatically makes all characters private when we create accounts.

I checked out the gem links and everything is set up properly to work with CwDT. So it's likely that Purifying Flame is going off, you just don't see it with all of the business on screen.

Starting to think Meat Shield is a liability...not a fan of needing to run directly into enemy frontlines for my zombies to kill anything, putting myself at massive risk.

Hey subliminaldelta! Make whatever you like to fit your style. The build does revolve around Meat Shield though. So consider some of these points if you're going to remove it:

- Meat Shield Taunts, which is huge for survivability.
- Flesh and Stone has a really small radius that coincides well with Meat Shield.
- Fortify only works with Shield Charge, which in turn suits the close proximity of Meat Shield.

Make sure you play the way you want to for sure but keep some of the listed things in mind as you make changes to minion aggression.

There are lots of other pros that I like about Meat Shield but those are the ones that came to mind in terms of build synergy.

Leveling to maps was really smooth.

Here is where I am as I start my first map after spending the couple of chaos I had.


Life: 3900
Ascendancy: 3 taken
Zombies: a 5 link*
Ele Resists: all 75+
Level: 70

Feels solid to start mapping even if nearly every piece of gear I have is crap.



* This is my lone concern entering maps. Since I use both Convocation and Holy Relic, my zombies are constantly being healed. I did not lose a zombie even once while leveling even though I never socketed Minion Life into the set up for Zombies.

I fear that is going to come back to bite me while mapping but at least it should be easy enough to tell what is happening.

Best Case: The zombies don't need minion life and I can add in another damage support for the 6th link.

Worst Case: Zombies die almost every map at which I just add in Minion Life to help.

I am confused on one mechanic.

I just reached level 31, and turned on both of my curse aura's. As expected I have no mana left to do any thing else.

The guide mentions that this will be the case until we pick up all of the mana nodes on the tree.

But when looking at the tree, all I see are mana regen nodes left to take from this point. I don't see any mana reserve reduction nodes, or mana skill reductions nodes that are allocated on the tree.

Am I missing something obvious that would allow a small pool of mana left over once I get further in the tree? I have only 9 mana left right now. I don't have enough to even shield charge.

Should I shut off one of the three mana reserves (TC, Enfeeble or Flesh and Stone) until I can figure out what I am doing wrong?

Hey AndyLovesHisBge! You're not doing anything wrong. Characters also gain stats as they level. So as you level, you'll gain mana as well. So you're welcome to turn off Flesh and Stone for now until you can use Shield Charge. In regards to the skeletons though, they are just bonus coin. They're really only in the build for the sake of Vaal Skeletons (which cost no mana). You can always select one of the mana reservation nodes that are 2 away from the provided tree if the zombies, phantasms, golem, and Spectres aren't doing it for you.
