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

Hi kay,

Hope you're well,Thank you so much for your lovely and hard work on this forum and other SM,

So chin up and lets raise some dead it is what we do after all!

Singe it is a bossing league i was thinking crabby specter with tanu and decent clear and good bossing with harvest going core so can summon them .

waiting for your guide for 3.13

Thanks a lot kay!
Hey Kay you are the best. We all know how much work you have put into everything (well the majority of mature gamers in our spectre community that is) Keep your chin up, have a beer or whatever you like to do to relax and everything is going to be alright!


For minion survivability, until we get decent gear, I think we can use Skullhead and bone offering, with Victario's Charity + Necromantic Aegis.

This would provide for our minions:
> Minion block chance: 59%-69%+ --> 24% (shield) + 10% (helmet) + 25-35%+ (bone offering)
> Frenzy charges (shield)
> 2% life regen per second (helmet)
> Life on Block (bone offering)
> some resistances from shield

If we take Decay Ward cluster (3 passives), we get our minions to 75%/55% block chance with bone offering, plus 20% minion life and extra 2% life on block. This should cover all minion survivability needs.

We lose Flesh Offering, unless we use "Leash of Oblation", but I think we can live with it.

I think Decay Ward for Anointment actually. Save a lot of travel passives. And drop Enduring Bond.

Necro Aegis is not good. Necro will become super squishy instead.

Phantasm + Life from death on cluster might be good option too.

Umm, with the nerf, jinxed juju still an option, or is +1 lvl amulet mandatory?
really liked juju :(
What are the options to replace spell echo for SO? Empower?
Minion damage seems giving more damage but the overall lvl increase gives life/damage/accuracy which seems better?
Thoughts?

It is ridiculous but I think that SO are really the least nerfed in this patch.
That once again shows the true skills of GGG game design team...

Empower wont be that good, unless you need it for the extra spectre.

I'd go for Hypothermia/Maim/Impale/Predator, depending on the rest of setup (if they do any cold damage, if I stack impale, if it's hard to color the body armor, etc)

For me, playing spectres is an.. aesthetic choice. Spectres are cool! I literally began playing PoE specifically to play with spectres, and I'm going to continue playing with them regardless of the occasional nerf. ... Other things are cool, too, I guess, and I may fiddle with other class/skill types eventually, but there are plenty of ARPGs that let me hit things with an axe or throw around a bit of fire. Necromancers on the level of PoE's are essentially nonexistent, and this is the only game that scratches that itch. It's what I'm here for.

So keep up the good work~

I really want to know what you think on this. Even if it's me lacking some understanding of the ascendancy, please correct me.
Plus it's not your post's problem, this game has too many necro haters. I watche the post grew from 800 likes, I say it got more dislikes than you think. Most people saw the world spectre and click thumbs down without even thinking.


Helmet with +3 gem and 2 supports might be the best. Or more supports from harvest craft if you have a lot of currency.


An option for slave driver and other aoe spectre could be conc, dmg, life and put Empower in a red socket. This helmet cost me 20c in Heist.



My plan for ascendancy was Bone Barrier, Mistress, Unnatural. I think Mistress is always useful because it gives extra block and life on block. Plague Bringer doesn't work so well because offerings eat the corpses.

Maybe Faster Attacks, but I think there is some stealth nerf as well.

secret calculation ;)

Current mechanic is trigger cast rate x dagger average damage. We use spell echo to increase trigger cast rate, but use all projectile/attack support for dagger damage.

For me that's 7.1 x 92k.

Now if I swap Spell Echo -> Faster Attacks. and only look at dagger for damage and attack rate. then I get 7.4 x 92k.

So actually more DPS. Doesn't seem right because GGG wouldn't buff SO.


Won't know exactly until we export spectre data from game.

(I'm not sure who will do spectre update for POB fork (maybe me))
