Thanks :D one small issue, though, for me, after selecting vaal skeletons on a hotkey, it says that "skill can't be used". I have it socketed on mainhand weapon, like the build said.


It's a Vaal skill, so it needs to charge up by absorbing souls: it does this every time your minions kill monsters. You need to kill at least 50 monsters to get a full charge, but your minions also use monster kills to buff themselves. However, you should have a full charge by the time you real the boss room.

Great and detailed guide man. It had to take so much time to do such awesome work. I love to play as summoner and can't wait to try this in fresh league. Do you think is good idea to start with this build in upcoming flashback event or it's too complicated for not even a 1-month long league?


If you're not worried about burnout, trying the build in flashback is a good practice run for the new league. I'm currently rewriting the levelling guide for 3.7, but I'm aiming to get it finished for flashback. It'll be easier to follow for both veterans and new players.

The build itself is pretty easy to play and the required gear is cheap and readily available. A friend who had never played a summoner before tried the build this league and was able to kill uber elder at level 83 and with tabula rasa.

Hey, just posting as a thank you for this build. I'm not at end game yet, but just got to the point where I can summon Solar Guards and those laser beams just made everything so much fun! I was already enjoying the build before, so it was a nice bonus to start wrecking stuff with lasers. Hope I can get to end game with it soon.
Hello, how can you craft the spectres have % increased damage on synthesis boots? i'been looking the material's for those boots on poe forums, reddit, this guide, but i only see the already crafted one's.
Frost Sentinels Crit Version
updated April/2019 (new 1080p videos + more in-depth explanations)

What’s the point of this version?
Spoiler
This version excels in quick mapping, while still maintaining good single target DPS. The goal is to have as much clear speed as possible and still be able to do Uber Elder deathless and effortlessly.
Shaper DPS: 1.1M per Frost Sentinel
(sustained damage, no temporary buffs like flasks, vaal skills or Focus)


Frost Sentinels vs Cannibal Fire-Eaters?
Spoiler
They are very different and serve different purposes. Fire-Eaters have the strongest DPS of all spectres, but only cast their spells when they are in melee range of the enemy. “Regular” projectile based spectres in this aspect have a much better behavior. This is even more important when we want to maximize fast mapping


Frost Sentinels vs Solar Guards / Flame Sentinels / Goatman fire-raiser?
Spoiler
Frost Sentinels have the following advantages:
7% base crit chance
No damage penalty for extra projectile spells (unlike Flame Sentinels)
Freezing/shattering enemies
No low damage/long animation cooldown skill like solar guards’s beam
Great AI/behavior
They benefit from Hatred aura and Frost Bomb


PoB Link:
Spoiler

Note: I edited my shield to include bonuses not calculated by PoB, such as Animated guardian gear, Zealotry Watcher's Eye and the extra crit chance against enemies on consecrated ground.


Skill Tree
Spoiler
http://poeurl.com/cncr
It’s a bit different but follows the same principle of trying to get life and jewel sockets. We also need mana reservation nodes because we can’t use a “–mana cost of skills” amulet.
Mistress of Sacrifice is used instead of Puppet Master, for more movement/cast speed.


Gear
Spoiler
The gear is pretty much the same as the original guide, with a few notes:
Aul’s amulet is a great way to fit a third aura into the build (Hatred)
Victario’s Charity + Necromantic Aegis is mandatory, because we must have a way to maintain Power charges while mapping.



Gem Links
Spoiler
Single target setup: Raise spectre / Minion damage / Increased Crit multiplier / Spell echo / Power charge on critical / Hypothermia
This setup is optimal, there really isn’t much variation there
Note: Power charge on critical is needed because Victario’s charity only generates power charges on kill, and so is not reliable for prolonged boss fights.

Mapping setup:
Here things get interesting. There are many different combinations of gems, depending on preference, availability of white sockets and the amount of lag your computer can take.
Recomended (requires a white socket): Raise spectre / Minion damage / Increased Crit multiplier / Summon phantasm on kill / Pierce / Greater multiple projectile

Alternative gems for mapping: Spell echo (really laggy with GMP), Hypothermia, Bonechill, increased critical strikes. Find what works best for you.

What/When/Where: to do to have that double implicit headgear, I believe it overwrites before because of enchantment. Man I haven't played in ages. Summoner could have that burst and deathless in hardcore now.
hi guys. I'm a noob summoner here. While learning level tips in Keylla's guide, I have a rookie question about leveling. When we are around level 28 in ACT 3, which spectres should we raise to get normal lab done? will these spectres be tanky enough to survive in the fight with izaro?

Also, Keylla or other experienced summoner, if it's not too much trouble, can you list spectres that you would recommend to raise while leveling in different ACT, please? of cuz, I meant before SG or Frost sentinels.

Last but not least, do you guys think if, relatively, this build could be an easier and cheaper build than others as a league starter to complete atlas and kill end game bosses?

Thank you very much.

I have multiple ways to complete the story acts.

1. Leave labs and only complete them before or after the last Kitava.

2. Have a Summoner friend get you a Solar Guard by desecrating them at hideout from that you summon your own spectres. Side note you should level your raise spectre and desecrate gem.

3. Flame Sentinel is good enough to take down Izaro of normal lab or even until end game.

They will only survive if you have 4L, leveled the gems (raise spectre and desecrate & resummon every level up) lastly get the skill node minions have regen.

I haven't added anything sythesis specific crafting as it is not part of the core game.

If you want "spectres deal 35% increased damage", you need 3x fractured boots, and all 3 needs to have +1 spectre.

So the cheapest way to do it is to get any 1-2 fractured boots and use bound fossils until you hit +1 spectre. Then put them into the synthesiser and hope for the best.

From there it's just a question of currency to hit certain implicits. Tusk has 35% spectre + onslaught on his boots. I think his final boots were his 3rd or 4th attempt, and each attempt cost him 11ex?
