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

Hey Kay,

Great guide you've got! I've been doing some leveling practice and I'm interested in hearing your thoughts on a few things.

1. Dominus at the end of Act 3 seems to destroy my spectres (fire-eaters). I've had the most success if I'm lucky enough to get zombies into my SRS links by then, but I have't done a run where my spectres live through Dominus.

2. Do you keep using fire-eaters until Cruel lab? Or do you switch to slave drivers in Act 5?

Thanks!

I noticed that some people have problem with Dominus and some people don't. I will try to help this in the new levelling video guides! I will include recording of boss fights so people can see how I do it. I've already started working on them, but I will wait for patch notes in case there are any big changes.

I changed the levelling to fire base for 3.11, but 3.12 guide will go back to the previous levelling and use Slave Driver. I realised people are more comfortable with SD for early mapping. It's easier to switch at level 5 and then go straight to mapping.

Hi Kay! Thanks for amazing guide, I love RS Pure spectre version a lot and find it well rounded for most content. Though i'd like to ask you are there any tweaks for red blighted maps?

Hello - thank you for this write-up, I just started POE a couple weeks ago and this build has been a lot of fun.

I have a couple super newb questions - I'm using the Spectre + Spiders set-up.

Under Equipment, for both helmet and armour, what gems should I be putting in those? I'm struggling to figure out what to use because the gems shown in the equipment under this section are different than the Gem Checklist under the Leveling Guide section.

I also notice you have the Armageddon Brand gem in both the unset ring and gloves - is this intentional?

Thanks!

Can Heist enemies be raised as spectres?
Yes.

Yay!

Just hope we can find something useful in there! :D

Try Pierce in the 6 link. The skitterbots can't move around fast enough to put Projectile weakness on all monster (so no pierce from curse).

You can also experiment with Feeding Frenzy in the links as well. This will make the RS more aggressive for shooting things.

Oh, the levelling guide is for the base build league starter, so that why the gems are different. If you use S&S build, please follow the gems in that Build Option.

Arma brand in two places is a mistake! Sorry! Gloves should be like this:

Thank you for your reply!

Will follow this now, cheers!

Hey Kay, since the thread is a little bit slower now maybe you have time for some brainstorming.
What would you do if you want to make the pure Spectre build as tanky as possible?

So far im at 218% inc% (Level 95) life from tree, Glancing Blows and blocked Spell Cap with Bone Offering and Rumis, %life recovery if block from shield, Divine Flesh with capped 77% ele res and 87% chaos res (possibly +3% chaos res but expensive, especially without Harvest), 104% inc ES with MoM and Diadem, Fortify from either AG, Shield Charge or Vigilant Strike, Blind from AG, Jinxed Juju, while maintaining roughly 2+ million dps per spectre (no helmet enchant and without considering any dps from AG gear) and the same PoB settings as you but im wondering if im missing anything and you can come up with a good idea i havent considered yet.

Edit: Or maybe greatly increasing offense while costing barely any defense.
