I am at level 66 with this awesome and fun build but am struggling with understanding a few mechanics.

For some reason I am struggling to determine/understand how to slot and properly use flesh offering and bone offering. I have read through the thread and front page and am playing this build without ever using either one.

help me understand the proper way to use those skills please. I play on the Xbox so I cannot show you the build to help give me advice.

Thanks in advance!

I play this character by whirling blades into or through a pack, pop flesh offering on anything that's already dead, fire lightning orbs with curse on hit through the pack, usually that will kill everything, so pop flesh offering and whirling blades to the next pack.

During Abyss cracks, I'll use lightning orbs twice, then bone offering, then whirling blades to the next position, hopefully through something to activate fortify, rinse and repeat.

For tough bosses, I'll go desecrate, bone offering, whirling blades through the boss, lightning orbs to activate elemental equilibrium, repeat until they are dead.

i do spam bone offering all time up. but sometimes die aniway, Abyss mobs really deadly.

I highly suggest an Anvil amulet with high life and mana gain on block. Since I picked up one of those, I haven't had a problem with Abyss mobs at all. I've even done multiplayer, and I can still facetank all the Abyss monsters without any real thought, especially while I have fortify up from whirling blades through them.

Need 25 dex and can't really change any gear. 30 dex node vs two abyss jewel suffixes? Those abyss jewel suffixes are juicy but so is a skill point.

I went for dex nodes. Among other things, you'll eventually run out of stuff on the tree you really need anyway. There's only so many damage mods for your minions on the tree, and those jewels are pretty powerful.

is there any variation that could utilize this helm?

I'm trying a variant of this build due to an extremely limited budget and not wanting to keep switching spectres.

essentially using skeleton mages on a pseudo 6-link via gloves for clear

4 x tv on 5 link vis mortis for boss

pseudo 6-link via helm for AG/Zombie tank.

am thinking all I need now is to change out my amulet/shield to raise spell block.

could any experts take a look at my character and suggest whether I'm heading the right direction?

Can someone pls explain me the sources of 178% life modifier on minions?
Comparing my build with thread's I can see difference in 2 passives(20%) and jewels(15%), but my modifier is 70% now.
I guess I'm missing something...

Soul Weaver ascendancy, 100% increased spectre life. It only applies to them, I have about the same as you.

I must be a bad player cause with slightly better gear i failed at my shaper attempt. I used a variation with 3 flame golems upon the 4 spectres. Idea was the easy re-summon in case spectres die.

The third phase is really difficult if you dont kill him fast. Should i do better convocations and hit him when he channels the beam ?

some rare abyss mobs hits throw the 75/75 block. so problems not there. they hit me by damage every hit ignoring all of block. and on map with bonus damage its really hurt.

Hi, I recently started this build, got the currency to buy me a Tukohama's Fortress to just find out that it no longer works with specters.... You should really take the shield off from the front page since its there still and its misleading. Thanks for the great build though!
