Path of Exile

Almost done with the achievement farming, took a while but getting there. Took 450ish chance+regret to get a unique chanced(I spend like 100 chance every league since basically the start of leagues and never got one before), fused a qotf to 6L in 210fusings so that one was nice, got the pvp stuff done so now the only achievement left is finding a unique off hillock. I guess I'll just setup an onigoroshi farm and see if I get something else first.

Thought the Alva/Jun one would take longer but I was apparently one room/kill away from both being at max rank(rank 3 aisling and the item quantity lvl 3 room did it in the very next temple and within only a few Jun daillies I had banked up).

Finally got my Hillock unique drop, Araku Tiki, 4 Scions lvl ~7.5 so must not be too too far from an Onigoroshi. Now 120/120 achievements, time to go play another game.

The reason is forcing people to invest at least SOME points into defensive stats. I did UE twice this league with Heralds and I don't think any of them lost any health, just ES from Spirit offering. Obviously can't use spirit with slave drivers, although arguably, you don't NEED the cast speed from flesh offering to phase them instantly so you could just use spirit or bone to make your shit not die and clear like that. Also are they resist capped? It's easy to not have capped resists on minions, which make a huge difference(baseline is 40 and you get like 10 or 15 or whatever from Sacrifice but if you don't go for other defensive nodes and don't have any other sources like jewels/wand, that's a shitton of missing resists)

Zombies with proper build single target will be a lot more than spectres. However clear wise I wanna say it'd be a lot worse, but I haven't actually played fully scaled zombies(and especially this patch). It's probably not that bad though, just tied to convocation more so than spectres, because zombies can't keep up and aren't ranged.

Yes, the slave drivers are resist capped, I made sure of that via PoB since they have odd resists compared to the usual spectre(more lightning, less fire and cold). They even have +5 max resist from Elemental Army. Spirit Offering is not bad but I'm also not sure how much that would help. You'd have to be casting that quite often.

I"m more annoyed with how annoying Spectres are to resummon, and holy fuck did they sound annoying pre 3.8, it's part of the reason I never played summoners before this patch. If they *can* die, you have to assume they are going to at some point despite your best efforts. And it's at that point, being stuck in the middle of a fight with no spectres due to stupid AI, that not being able to easily resummon them feelsbadman.

Oh yeah they sucked even more before but even now they still kinda suck. Spirit offering might not help much if they're resist capped since they probably don' t have the biggest hp pool, worked better on heralds since they're big bois, they have like 100k life iirc or some shit so % of that as ES is some big amount, and I use offering about every 4secs from the trigger cooldown. Bone offering would maybe be better in this case, although it's kinda rng based if you block the big hits or not. Ultimately hard to say I haven't played with squishy spectres in a while and while they did die back then my build was way weaker than current builds due to older trees and shit. This league I played heralds which as I've said were tanky as fuck, and used spirit offering, they only died once, again Vaal temple boss when I killed the boss in the wrong order and somehow the last boss didn't die fast, the phys rain of death murdererd all my shit(including my AG, luckily it was before I put a kingmaker on him).
