POE - Spectres badly charge an complete stats screen

Let me alpha by acceptance that Spectres accustomed a agglomeration of QoL changes recently. That's great. That fabricated activity a lot added affable and easy. However, I alone see two broad issues with spectres, both of which should be anchored by an actual carbon awning that would affectation the accident of your currently summoned spectre, aswell afflicted by all accessible increases you accept on gear, abutment gems, auras and whatever else. Let me explain.


Reason 1: The attack to acquisition new applicable spectres.


The bogey gameplay is stagnating. Award agency to annihilate Uber Elder with Solar Guards, award agency to be ultra fast in mapping with Tukohama's Vanguards by abacus something like skeletons or golems, abounding altered things to do, to be sure, but the botheration is - there is appealing abundant annihilation applicable abreast from TVs and SGs. Sure, there are hardly added hipster choices of traveling Cannibal Fireeaters for bossing and Frost Sentinels for clearing, but afresh afresh - that's not that much. Some builds use account spectres like Chieftains for buffs, or those Proximity absorber guys.


The Temple brought a lot of new absorbing options with altered abilities and accident types, but all of them attending promising. The affair is, cipher wants to go through the aching action of alive 20 tests of some anchored bang-up with every individual little affair we add. Would this abutment gem work? How is their accident calculated? Would X be bigger than Y?


Natt's afire bogey physique was built-in because there was an antecedent abstraction to use individual ambition and aoe spectres afterwards 'hit' abilities, but it wasn't until some all-encompassing testing done by abounding humans that anybody accomplished those spectres had appropriate versions of their SR totems and RF - versions that had hidden tags they should've not had, which advance to one of the absolute affidavit why that physique was so able in 3.0: it was accessible to accomplish a 6-link that was in actuality affecting both your single-target and aoe spectres. Those tests took absolutely some time, activate awe-inspiring bold mechanics that were not obvious, and that resulted in a able build. Who knows how abounding sleeping options are there now artlessly because no one has gone through the aching action of testing things one by one?


And that's absolutely the acumen why it would be abundant to accept some array of carbon awning that would yield the 'main' adeptness of the bogey mob and appearance its accident and how it behaves whenever you add abutment gems, accessory or annihilation else.


Reason 2: Abysm Jewels.


When those were announced, I bethink Bex or anyone abroad from GGG affliction them with a byword like 'I heard that summoners can get some crazy accepting there!'


Okay, we did get some crazy accepting there, but the affair is, it's absolutely non-intuitive as to how some of that accepting works with spectres. Appropriate now, a lot of spectremancers I see tend to assemblage simple life/mana(if mom)/increased beloved accident if you've acclimated a beloved accomplishment recently/some added utility. It doesn't feel like abounding humans use the 'minions accord added X to Y of Z damage'. The affair is, it isn't accessible how it's calculated. If and area does that get applied?


For instance, a akin 59 Solar Bouncer aloft in Solaris Temple and a akin 84 Solar Bouncer aloft in Shaper's branch - would those two accept the aforementioned constant accident from such a mod (if both cases are acclimated by the aforementioned character, just simply spectres aloft from altered zones)? Does that accident get added by beloved inc% damage? Does that accident (in case of 3 basal affixes) get added by something like Ele focus affiliated to spectres? A lot of those questions could aswell apparently get answered by accomplishing all-encompassing testing on some apathetic bang-up like Avarius Reassembled, but I achievement you get my point.


While I'm at it, I'll bound acknowledgment a babyish ascertainment - the 'minions accord added accident if you've acclimated a beloved accomplishment recently' seems to be complete anemic for spectres. Not alone does it endure a bare 3 seconds, it aswell doesn't assume to proc off CWDT cartilage offering. I was complete afraid about the added part, because while we don't in actuality use Convocation and chiral offerings as about as every 3 seconds, if we zoom-zoom through the map, usually a CWDT cartilage alms procs quite often, and I was acquisitive that at atomic THAT would accumulate up the addict from abysm jewels, but I was wrong. Not abiding if devs will apprehend this, but if you guys do, hopefully you can analyze whether this is a bug or brash behavior.


In my opinion, those jewels are absolutely complete absorbing and strong, and in feels that their mods are like 'yolo why not, it's accident afterwards all' for spectremancers, while in absoluteness we mainly hunt something like 40+life/30+mana+/hinder-blind-taunt-on-hit a lot of of all, NOT damage. Imagine that! Compared to added 3 types of Abyssal jewels, it just feels like a huge decay - buy poe currency and again, I do accept that an complete carbon awning that will acquiesce us to see the absolute furnishings of those jewels will accomplish a apple of difference.


That's all, acknowledgment for reading.
