Don't know how to link gear-too old and stupid maybe.
Can someone check the helm equipped to Daryl_as_always in standard.
I would think the spell damage is useless but i was wondering is there a spectre that casts spells who would benefit?

Thanks.

The "socketed spells do 30% more elemental damage" on your helm will effect spectres (if your spectre gem is socketed in your helm ofc!). And actually most spectres do elemental damage, there are very few that do only physical. So any of the good spectres like Redemption Sentry/Knight and Slave Drivers will benefit from it.

However, if you are talking about the mods on your helm "adds x-x damage to spells", than no, that will NOT effect spectres, no matter where you put the spectre gem. Those mods will only effect your spells, not your spectres' spells.

Looking at your gear, I see you are primarily a zombie build, so I'm not sure if you are just asking a question in general, or are you wanting to add damage spectres to your build? With that helm, even with the 30% more elemental damage, you wont get that much damage from spectres. It would be better to have a 6-link, or else get a better crafted helm (pseudo 7-link). Even then I still dont think your spectres would do that much damage, they still need so much other requirements (like level 25 spectre gem, auras, etc) to make then damage dealers. So for your build in particular, stick with zombies with just support spectres, or switch to 100% pure spectre build, but don't try to do both.

But if your question was just a general question, than I hope I was able to answer it. :)

Hiho!

No, items only affect their wearer unless they explicitly mention allies.

For spectres and spiders septre weapon, what is best element to go with for spell damage and why? I have added fire damage at the moment. Also does the added damage to spells not affect redemption knights but could affect something like snowcaller?

Hello, i'm quite new to the game. I almost achieved to get the pure spectre build (i lack cluster jewels and some mods on certain items).

I'm in love with this build, i clear t14-16 at a decent speed but i'm dying quite often ... My spectres' dps are far from the final build but I think it's enough for basic maps I run. Can someone "list" me the defensive aspects of this build to see if I lack some ? That would be very kind.

This is my PoB if you have other suggestions : https://pastebin.com/bTXCYsQ7

PS: i use Redemption sentries as spectres.

Thanks a lot !

Not sure how friendly it is, if you dont drop the items to support the gems you will die a lot, no matter of minions ( they are dumb ) GGG needs to fix minions as they are stupid.

Thanks for the build Kay but its not for me( I always wanted a minion build )

All it does is trigger the elemental equilibrium so as long as you dont do cold damge it doesnt matter if you use fire or lightning assuming you use redemption knight/sentry that does cold damage.

The damage itself doesnt matter and it wont affect the spectres, you can do 1 damage as long as its not cold it will debuff the enemy with -50 cold resist making your spectres do alot more damage.

Finally decided to change to cluster jewels, and drop the elegant hubris. Here's where I am currently at.

I've tried a few different specters, here's my view on them.

Baranite Thaumaturge:
Great clear speed, however their bombs and bosses don't always match up. Killed A8 with them, but he dances around so much the bombs never really did their job so it took a lot longer than Slaver Drivers.

Snowcallers:
Fun specters, and decent clear speed. Big on survival as they freeze everything with Frostbite plus Bonechill linked to skitterbots. I'd suggest them for anyone looking for a bit more survival, however they do lack boss dps. Was able to kill A8 Sirus with them, but took about the same time as Baranites.

Slave Drivers:
I just can't quit these. Over 40 million dps with 5 of them, they just delete stuff. Takes a little bit more babysitting, and their range requires putting yourself in danger sometimes, but they simply destroy everything. With some minion life nodes you can get them over 40k life, which is plenty for just about every encounter.

Redemption Sentries:
Remind me of a cold version of the Baranites. Fantastic clear speed, but lack boss killing compared to Slave Drivers. I don't know what I am doing wrong with them, I just don't see the performance others have with them. Can only get them up to 2.5m dps.

@wasabexx, thanks for confirming what i expected and yes it is a zombie build and i was going to try out specters but first wanted to try crafting a helm.
The helm has all T1 rolls so it only looks good, probably useless for any build i would imagine.
Thanks again.
