Quick Summary: S-Tier league starter cho 3.28 Mirage, guide bởi GhazzyTV. Forged Frostbearers cast cold mortar projectiles có khả năng shotgun (overlap damage), tạo cả AoE clear lẫn single target mạnh. Raise Spectre được buff trong 3.28 (+4 monster level at gem 30). GhazzyTV đã shift từ Wretched Defilers sang Forged Frostbearers vì performance tốt hơn ở mọi budget level.

Tại sao S-Tier trong 3.28 Mirage?

1. Raise Spectre buff — Gem level 30 → monster level 85 (trước 81), spectres mạnh hơn và tankier
2. Forged Frostbearer shotgun — Cold mortar projectiles overlap với Greater Volley Support, tạo massive single target
3. GhazzyTV đã shift từ Wretched Defilers — High/Mirror budget Wretched Defilers "didn't perform", Frostbearers thay thế
4. Proven mỗi league — Spectre Necro là build GhazzyTV đã maintain hàng chục leagues
5. Necromancer consistency — Top class tier list liên tục, ascendancy nodes strong cho spectres

Overview

Tại sao Forged Frostbearers thay vì Wretched Defilers?

GhazzyTV's Reasoning

GhazzyTV đã update guide từ Wretched Defilers → Forged Frostbearers trong 3.28 vì:

Khi nào vẫn chọn Wretched Defilers?

• Deep Delve specialist (depth 500+) — CI variant với Auruos's Choice
• Doryani's Prototype available — Nếu có budget cho lightning setup
• Đã familiar với Wretched Defilers playstyle từ previous leagues

Ascendancy Choice

Necromancer Notables

1. Mistress of Sacrifice — Offerings affect you (Bone Offering = block cho bạn)
2. Commander of Darkness — Aura effectiveness, +30% ele res, +30% increased damage cho you + allies
3. Mindless Aggression — Minions 20% more Life, 10% more Damage (core scaling)
4. Plaguebringer — Near corpse: you + allies deal more damage, enemies deal reduced damage. Consumed corpse recently: increased area of effect

Lưu ý: Unnatural Strength đã bị rework — không còn +2 minion gem levels. Giờ chỉ cho Unholy Might (30% phys as extra chaos), không hiệu quả cho Forged Frostbearer (cold damage).

Lab Order

1. Normal: Mistress of Sacrifice (Bone Offering → block cho bạn)
2. Cruel: Commander of Darkness (aura boost + ele res)
3. Merciless: Mindless Aggression (more minion life + damage)
4. Uber: Plaguebringer (more damage + damage reduction)

Gear Roadmap

Phase 1: League Start (0-50c)

Lưu ý: Build này socket starved — cần plan gear cẩn thận để fit tất cả gems.

Phase 2: Low Budget (50c - 2 div)

Có thể clear tất cả 4 Voidstones ở budget này.

• Dark Monarch — Thay thế Wraithlord làm helmet chính (3.27+)
• +2 Minion Helmet — Biggest DPS upgrade
• Trigger weapon — "Trigger socketed spell" craft cho auto-Bone Offering
• Ghastly Eye Abyss Jewels — Minion damage mods
• Better shield — Shaper base với "recover life on block"

Phase 3: Medium Budget (2-10 div)

• Convoking Wand — +1 minion gems implicit + crafted mods
• Exceptional Support Gems — Replace regular supports
• Large Cluster Jewels — Minion damage clusters (Renewal + Feasting Fiends)
• Vis Mortis body (optional) — +1 spectre

Phase 4: High Budget (10+ div)

Cần budget này cho T17 maps. Low/Medium đủ cho 4 Voidstones.

• +2 minion amulet — gem levels = massive scaling
• Awakened/Exceptional gems — All main supports
• Perfect clusters — 8-passive large + medium combos
• Rare influenced gear — Elder/Shaper combinations

3.28 Mirage Synergy

• Spectre army handles Mirage density automatically
• Minion meat shield — Zombies + Guardian Turtle absorb Afarud attacks
• Frostbearer AoE — Mortar projectiles clear Mirage packs efficiently
• Bone Offering block — Defensive layer cho constant Mirage encounters
• Raise Spectre buff — +4 monster level = spectres tankier + deal more damage
• Exceptional Support Gems — New endgame drops boost spectre builds further

vs Holy Absolution Guardian (Ronarray)

Tips cho League Start

1. Leveling — Dùng Absolution suốt campaign, KHÔNG switch sang spectres cho đến level 65-70
2. Spectre library — Bookmark desecrate locations cho Forged Frostbearers (Heist contracts, specific maps)
3. Bone Offering priority — Get trigger weapon ASAP cho auto-cast Bone Offering
4. Gem levels = king — Mỗi +1 gem level = significant damage jump cho spectres
5. Don't rush 8 spectres — 3-4 Frostbearers + utility spectres đủ clear tất cả early content
6. Convocation on left click — Auto-cast để keep minions near you
