Kay's Summoner Memorial Page | New Guide is linked inside!

Hey! Thanks for the guide, I'm on the spectre and spider build. I think you mentioned a 2 cluster version coming out? Do you have a preview of that somewhere?

Respecced out of commander of darkness to plague bringer, plus kingmaker AG plus Bone Offering, I feel like I can tank everything in t16 except for extremely juicy mods, I think commander of darkness is a waste of ascendancy.

I wish I could have more time to play to upgrade my helm to the uber helm ;(

I recommend Commander because it always works. Plaguebringer must have corpse on ground, but corpse are not so easy. Offering eats 5 corpse and Diadem will eat 10 corpses.

But most important is play the way you like.:)

Yeah, I am thinking about adding spell cascade to always have corpse. I already switched out of diadem so it's not an issue, but I dont have enough gem slot for spell cascade now.

The way I did it was to make sure to have monster life mod on map. Once you're about to fight the boss, de-summon all your spectre by clicking the linked armor. Desecrate and summon 1 random mob as a spectre (I got the Dreadwheel wheel skeleton). He did super small damage so I was able to run in and out into a lot of smoke when he is in hiding phase. You can place a portal nearby if you want to refresh pots. Once you think you ran into 25 smokes maybe 5 minutes or so summon more spectres to kill him off.

Thanks, I'll do that if I need to, but I've come up with a zanier plan now.

Enter with regular setup and beat him down however low he needs to be before he starts doing unlimited smoke phases.
Go to hideout and switch to ZDPS setup: Brutality + Phys to Lightning.
Go back and catch some smokes while the spectres are ineffectually poking him.
Once enough smokes were caught, go to hideout and switch to regular setup.
Finish him.

Yes the most difficult thing is to survive him without spectre. Luckily Im tanky enough (fortify, glancing blow, bone offering, enduring cry) to unsummon all spectres and just ran around until completing the challenge, then portaled out and raised spectres and killed him.

btw, any trick to easily do the desert boss and vaal pyramid boss challenges? I guess speakers' wreath until getting the bleeding / getting boss spawn then normal attack them?

For desert spring, I guess you could try speaker's wreath with something like flame surge (any spell with limited area) to wipe minions. Remove desecrate/frostbomb/totem so you don't kill by accident. Get her to 1 hp, get sandy and just flail around blindly.
For vaal pyramid, same as above for minions (if they are too much of a nuisance) and basic attack for bosses. Btw, don't try it on a twinned map, they spawn weirdly this way.

Sorry by desert boss I meant the one that you need to kill while bleeding. I think the hard part is to get bleeding right?

btw the tornado boss is actually easy with RS, just nuking him from afar, that's it!

Speaker's Wreath is your friend. It will reduce monster to 0hp but they won't die.

Desert: run t1 map. stand on top of boss. wait until bleed debuff. kill boss.

Vaal Pyramid: run t3 map. run around in circle and use default attack (wand) to shoot the bosses in correct order.

*Divine Ire is good for killing anything in aoe.

What do you know, zero DPS plan actually worked.
Feels good to use your brain once in a while.

Where is the damage coming from with this build? I have most of the damage items and my gems are around level 18-20 yet there's like a 390K average dmg per minion discrepancy. Can someone please point to me where I'm going wrong with my damage?

Little Update for my modified Kay's build (using an Elegant Hubris). Was able to make the switch to using Skitterbots, and added a cluster jewel. Took a minor hit in health (500 life), but gained 1.5m more damage per specter.

PoB: https://pastebin.com/usirU28Z

Life 5.2k
DPS: 31.9m total DPS

I'm in love with Skitterbots and Profane Proxy. What a huge difference it makes with quality of play not having to manually curse. Was able to also add in a Holy Flame Totem for bossing.


Question: I don't technically need the +1 to level of all raise spectre gems boots any longer to have 5. I'd lose about 300k dps per spec removing them, but if there's some boots that would increase overall performance I'd be interested in tips.

For the moment I changed to a 4 socket Bubonic Trail boots. Lessened the loss of DPS.




Update:

After some tinkering, this is even better now lol. Never underestimate the power of these ghastly jewels.

Breaks 4m DPS per Spectre vs A8 Sirus

Hello! I have a question regarding spectre banks. I have a Redemption Sentry banked and am using them right now on my main. If I wanted to switch to, say, Solar Guard spectres temporarily, can I do this without losing my Redemption Sentries stored in the bank? How can I make this work so that I don't have to level up another witch just to have a separate Solar Guards bank? I'd like to be able to switch back and forth without messing anything up. Thanks in advance, guys.
