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

After league-starting with Kay's build for 4 leagues in a row (last one was Harvest tho iirc) I'm returning and wow, lots of new spectres since then.

So, crabbies or Snow Rhex -- How is their survivability with end-game bosses like Maven and The Feared/Hidden? SDs were so squishy after the spectre nerf like a year ago.

Idc about clear speed (playing in a private SSF league) but I'd like to work towards the right spectres to get me through those fights eventually. Golems and my tricked out AG died in those fights last league. That was a really sad day.
So it's best to run the Minion Army League Starter, then switch to SRS as opposed to SRS right from the get-go?
And the white guys says, I'll have a Coke then.

What do you think about using SRS bomber as league starter? Why is it a good/bad idea?



Need Tavukai for SRS bomber


I'm not sure if it's available with good rolls on day 1, so I don't recommend league starting.

You can try to burn the SRS with infernal legion, but it's very slow because they have high ele res.

Severinze welcome back!

Crabbies are survivable... but maybe they block vision with their water fountain. but people have told they cleared all endgame with them in 3.13!

In 3.13, I played SRS, then carrion, then HOP for my main. no spectres this time

Why are Syndicate Operatives not in the list of recomended spectres? I thought they were the best due to shotgun mechanics but don't see them in the guide at all?


Actually it was in guide before but I took it out... need to re-add it!

EDIT: added SO back into guide!

Hi Kay! What are your thoughts on the "Trigger socketed spell when you use a skill" cd nerfs? Do you think they hurt the skeleton uptime too much for the build to be viable? Thanks in advance!


I think it's still fine.

Usually use Desecrate + Offering. So it's 9s uptime. And Mistress is 40% increased duration.

Main problem is for Trigger + BV for auto EE/curse. I think that's dead.

Also Trigger + skele + siege breaker for Minion Bomber build (but I already changed it!)


sry but what did u mean on that last part about skele+trigger for minion bomber?
is it still fine like desecrate+offering or dead like BV for auto EE/curse??

also, what did you change about your skele setup? i couldnt find any change in the srs bomber section of your guide or your current PoB-link.
Hi Kay,

just dropping in to say thanks for the detailed and well explained guide!

I'm a returning player, last played league I was farming shaped T14 Vaults with overlapping sextants (yes, it was THAT long ago, maybe Abyss or Bestiary? :) ). I did that with an ES/ CI immune necromancer, so I will start again with spectres and use your guide as template.

Don't know yet if I will ever make the transition to pure spectres, have to catch up with all the new game mechanics first from 10+ leagues I missed :)

CU & regards,
Mandra
Kay, Have you done any testing with exploding skeletons? They seem interesting with the new low life being 50%.
