Thanks for the quick reaction!

Will look into it :) !
yeah, when i finally got all my spectre-linked gems + auras + curse to lvl to lvl 19 it was a breeze. But Sirius was still hard. My full cluster setup helped me take him down at AW7

I was at your stage and dropped victarios and just got my 2nd large cluster. Lets hope i can still live with just flesh offering and AW8

For those of you that would like a more "tanky" build, I'm running a MoM version with energy shield, and with 6.6k life and 2.9k ES, that's 9.5K life. I also have armor on all of my gear, so I have 25% phys reduction before flasks. I also used to run bone offering (now that I'm at 97 and done leveling, I switched to flesh offering). With that setup, it was EASY to get to level 97, I literally never died in maps from 95-97.

The only problem is that you have to get ES on EVERYTHING, including jewels, and you have to take different passive skills (the ones that give extra ES). Having ES on everything isn't necessarily more expensive, but it can be a little difficult to actually FIND someone selling it. But usually the price is the same.

I consider my char a nice balance. The total cost was about 10ex, but I bought everything little by little so it wasn't so bad. I can do all content (except HoGM) with ease, there is plenty of DPS with great defenses and huge sustain with Feast of Flesh giving full life/ES every 5 secs.

Feel free to look at my profile if you want to see my gear and passives.

I am aiming for something similar with ES. One question- I've been thinking of switching out my (+offering) Astral plate for a Vaal regalia instead. Any reason you went for Astral instead of Vaal regalia in a MoM setup?
Thank for your great guide, Kay.

However, may I suggest that your pure spectre build should outright be switched to more defensive setup? I know it's supposed to be "above average budget" thing, but the difference between Glancing Blow + Bone Offering + Mistress of Sacrifice vs no defense is glaringly obvious. To be honest, other than max block, there is no real inherently "native" defense for Necro unless we go out of our way to get some generic all-class-viable defense like divine flesh, etc. I even went out of my way to get Call to Arms just for convenience of enduring cry, it's like free life flask + some defense (though Im sure my tree is not efficient).

I definitely feel the squishiness at around t14+, but after switching to defensive setup, I can cruise through maps comfortably (not immortal, sure, but at least easily leveling without frustrated by deaths).

Now I feel even better investing in dps (cluster) as I can comfortably do all t16 without fear of (too many) deaths.

Yes, I wanted the extra armor. I stacked armor on all my gear. And also I already had enough ES, and any more ES wouldn't do any good. The way MoM + Eldritch Battery works, when you get hit it takes 70% from your HP and 30% from your shield. So once your ES is at a certain point, having more ES doesn't really help.

But if you aren't really stacking armor, than having the extra shield from a Vaal regalia is a fine alternative.
I changed build to Spider Queen and i love it. Main reason is i don't die often, but t3 blue seeds monster kill me about 2-3 shots :( it was shameful. was pure spectre my hp 4.8k and now 6k and enduring charges pretty helpful. If you die often change build to Spider Queen a.k.a S&S :)
How do i make the switch to:





I think i can afford to buy both of them now, but have no idea what gems do i swap and such.
If i switch the helm, what gonna happen to my auras? do i need to buy some other items before i make the switch?
Any advice will be appreciated.
I was thinking about possible switching to Baranite Thaumaturges(or preachers havent decided yet and still need to get correct sockets) and had the idea that spell cascade would work perfectly with their bomb skill, but i quess that wont work because of the "cannot support minion skills". ¨

Another thing i was wondering is linking Less Duration Support to the spectres, would that reduce the time it takes for the bombs to explode?

For BT or BP, you really need 5b1w. Just hope for vorici in research :P

Cascade doesn't work for BT as you know, but spell echo works. They will cast 2x 10 bombs. The bombs will overlap and can shotgun bosses.

Bomb is actually a chain of trigger, so less duration doesn't help.

EmptyActionSpellCrusaderMageguard -> AtlasCrusaderMageguardSpawnBombSpectre -> AtlasExileCrusaderMageguardBombExplodeSpectre





I just posted video for BT actually: https://youtu.be/Qkw4cCZ_Cv4
