Hi Folks, WifeDota here.
I’m a weirdo who plays spectres in almost every league and has tested hundreds of them. You may know me from the Spectre discussion that caused a little commotion earlier this year (https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/163orr0/ggg_i_think_your_recent_patch_just_nerfed_many/)
This support gem is my dream. Like 80% of the viable spectres that would make the skill gem incredibly more fun and dynamic are ruined completely by the fact that they throw out default attacks randomly instead of casting their 0 cooldown spell, like freezing pulse, etc.
This support would be a simple and effective way to buff the spectre gem in a way that rewards experimentation and creativity; two traits I believe to be at the core of the PoE experience.
Also! It’s not a 1 trick pony. Does your stone golem die too often? Would you prefer your animate guardian stay by your side? This gem can help there too.
My absolute dream would be if the gem just disabled “default attack”, and not attack skills. But I imagine that would be a bit too specific, although it would open many more doors for cool attacking spectres who randomly mix default attacks into their otherwise cool skills.
P.S GGG if you’re reading this, please nerf Forged Frost Bearers and then give us a way to get crucible spectres back; the other ones are so cool. <3.
Thanks,
Wife Dota.
