Casters:delaing with silent spectres

Guys,

I've been playing around in wizmode recently and running ziggurats for fun with a DEFE.

This guy is obviously very fragile but completely useless when silenced. AFAIK, I can't hit a silent spectre from outside of its silence radius.

What I ended up doing was using haste and controlled blink to stay out of its silent radius while I killed everything else with firestorm and summoned boxes of beasts. But it was very testing.

Is there a better way I've not thought of?

Wands are on option. Penetrating javelins are also good. Silent spectres are pretty fragile.

In a ziggurat there is so much XP that you can train up evo or throwing to a reasonable level lightning fast.

yeah fair enough. Thats what I thought. Problem is there are so many meat shields around it so it makes wands difficult. Maybe clouds would work best.

Javelins of penetration are my first choice.

Old disc of storms used to be insanely strong... I think its replacement, lightning rod, should work, too, but you only get a few shots.

An item with evocable blink can help, too.

I like Portal Projectile. Cast outside Spectre range, move in LoS, deliver Javelins to the face until they cease to exist.

Also, all of the other options mentioned above. Zig is no place for one Trick ponies.
