Im doing the insect Spectre from the Ashen Forrest right now. Four of them plus the Haste Aura Spectre with one shock and frost mage and a brute.

It oneshots everything.

Check Ghazzy on Youtube for an example/guide.

i'm constantly baffled by it, but hwen i have homies try poe 2 they do okay with the game but are utterly baffled by the trade system. it's just really hard on folks used to wow type mmos maybe. not sure.
Took me like the second league I played in POE1 to finally muster up enough courage to try to buy something. They didnt even have the official site, it was some 3rd party one back then. And of course no one tells you about it, or how to ues it. Iwas looking some shit up about POE1 and ran across a reddit link to trade site.

You know, baby steps for GGG. They just cannot commit fully...Yet. I dont fucking understand why you have to visit anywhere in the first place. Just pay the fee and the shit just transfers right to your stash. Like why are we paying a fee anyways if we have to hoof it to hideouts to trade anyway?

They make money selling microtransactions dress up stuff, they want to make sure everyone sees them.

Im doing the insect Spectre
the frozen mandibles insect? i got one of those and it's driving me mad, but it has GREAT aura/modifiers. i didn't realize it was the new meta haha gonna check the video. i just got it because he spawns reliably 8 feet from a checkpoint.

Yea its constant spamming AoE is super annoying. But they shred shit up.

At least as a Spectre, not sure how it is as a companion.

beast companions are mostly wandering buff bots, but my build is kind of based on making a foe shocked, then swapping to the rapid fire ++ damage to shocked bullets. so him being an agressive asshole is great, plus he's fat. I love fat spectre/beasts because if i get pressed, i can roll back through them....anyway t hem being agressive insures they will hit a lot of t hings and spread the love. I'm curious though, gazzy reccomended using 'impact shockwave' to spread out damage better. i wonder if the shockwave will also procc shock. i'll have to test it.

i absolutely want to try this spectre build having read his description. the thought of 3+ of them zooming around tearing shit up sounds amazing. t heir agression is great.

I tried to tame the daddy longlegs spider(no dice) and all the various hall of the dead giant turtles and snakes. armored ape on the mountain worked. they were good behavior. the chimaeral bats on the mountain suuuuucked. they only waddled slowly and turned into a wisp if you got more than like 10 feet away. real goofy.

I also want to try the tactician using the talent where everyone nearby does ++ damage based on your weapon and try those fly queens t o see if that works heh.

Hadn't realized when I logged in this afternoon, that I had to go back to Kingsmarch to activate the mapping......guess I did finish the interludes last night.

Took 15+ hours and I am pretty sure I haven't completed all of the extra stat / passive stuff. I know people can finish in 6-8 hours but I'm nowhere near that quick and the campaign becomes a drag towards the end. Granted, this is also with me as a Deadeye, too, lol.

Tried a single instant trade and got my resists up to like 53 / 75 / 52 or something like that, but probably just gonna get my damage up a bit more and wait to see what gets changed in the coming patches. The endless atlas is still pretty lame and I'm only at T3 maps. :(

Seems like they are nerfing my Bois. Removing innate ability on the two rare Spectres. The Frozen Mandibel ability is pretty worthless so if they just remove that AoE spam it would be fine. But removing Haste buff from the other guy will hurt!

And just pray they dont nerf the damage or I need to go back to Vaal Guards and destroy my GPU.

I knew that haste spectre was getting nerfed so I never even tamed him. Leave the ants though I can’t go back to the grenade spam. Shit is painful on my eyes

I haven't really tried the ants without the Haste Aura bot. They work fine without it I assume?

Its basically "no fun allowed". The absolute horror if anything besides Lightning meta cuckery is allowed. Nerf everything fun.

True comment.
