How does spectres attitude compared to zombies?
Played zombiemancer last league and this was terrible experience - they could ignore monsters that is near me and hitting me. Not even talking about ranged monsters. The thing that I must cast something to point them where to go and what to hit was terrible, really. With them I felt myself as a selfcaster with pretty delayed damage ><

Did you update POB? I just copied it and it looks a bit different (6L skills, unique jewels etc.) which is ready to use in Synthesis?
Anyway thank you for the build, I think it's going to be my starter for my 2nd league in POE, great job in this detailed levelling guide!
One more thing - how long does the buff from eye jewels last? I mean how often do you need to cast minion spells?

However, I do have a phase acro version of this build which I used with the 40-second fortify snap shot trick to delve from 650 onwards. You can find a description of that in the Alternate Builds section.

Thanks! That's what I was looking for. I'll definitely choose version with Phase Acrobatics.

GGG just confirmed over at reddit that the PoB numbers for Summon Phantasm on Kill are completely wrong :(

Sadly this makes the gem far far worse for bossing than any other support, even with the new change. It's roughly 1/3 of the dps listed :(

Still good for clearing though

PoB uses the level of the minion that got the kill.

Thank you for your response, what are the pros and cons of this build?

In brief, pro: low budget starter, high clear speed, high dps; cons: survivability is an issue (no block/dodge, no leech). spectre AI can be bad at times.

There is an alternate build that builds into phase acro for 50/40 dodge.

I might have changed it a little between sharing the PoB and writing the build guide.

Specifically, Unending Hunger is usually in socket 8, but I replaced it because Unending Hunger isn't useful against big bosses. However, you want to use it for 95% of the game and especially in delve.

Also the 6L has a few options for the green gem.

This might be a better general PoB pastebin: https://pastebin.com/K6WQJmxA
(will also update the guide with this.

I'm working on a better min-max for the build, so keep an eye on the guide later in the league. I think it's possible to get 2mil+ shaper DPS per spectre!

The support gem’s level

Maybe Summon Phantasm works in a similar way to Unearth. Unearth creates corpses with Level (12-80) depending on the gem's level. The main difference being that the level information of Summon Phantasm is hidden from us.

There is also this information on poedb for 'Summoned Phantasm':
https://poedb.tw/us/mon.php?n=Summoned+Phantasm

I think the dps they provide is still substantial, as my experience in deep delve was a lot smoother using spectres + phantasms than spectres alone.

*It's also possible to boost the corpse level by increasing Unearth's level, so maybe a level 21 Summon Phantasm gives some advantange over a 20.

Hey kayella,
Thank you for your guide, I will definitely play your build as a league starter. To improve the survivability I have this thought:

I will use a cwdt+desecrate setup, bots level 1. Another desecrate setup with cwdt and bone offering, both level 20. I would take Mistress of Sacrifice instead of Puppet Master, so I will heal full wenn I am getting a huge amount of damage.
What are your thoughts?

Greetings
