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

Why is the Boots Uber Lab enchantment, "0.20% Damage Leeched as Life" on the Spectre 4.2 build? It seems that enchant would do absolutely nothing since the character does no damage of it's own, but rather through Spectres/Minions.

1. I don't recall any damage done by the minions counting for the enchantment (I.e., minion damage cannot leech the character life back)
2. If minions did have a leech effect, it would leech life for themselves and not the Necromancer (character).

Why not put something like "8% to dodge spell hits if you've taken spell damage recently" or another Lab enchantment that is more useful for the build? I noticed both the Post and the Path of Building shows the leech enchantment.

Please explain - thanks fam.

My 21/0 Animate Guardian just died from Sirus8... like *pouf*
Kingmaker, Mask of the stitch demon, the craft chest for extra ES.

Someone know what's happened ?

What was it's resistances? I know Kay leaves resistance capping for minions out on nearly Animate Guardian mention or guide video she's posted.

Were you convocated/near the minion to give it your resist aura from Ascend. Passive?

a lvl 20 gem, then selling it to a vendor along with one gem cutter prism to make it lvl 1 with 20 quality.

wat. never knew that. XD

Note - this does NOT work for Awakened gems. Individual prisms only add 1 quality per prism.

@alive: i don't really know, it's was just weird because i never saw his life moving even a little anywhere, i died from tp into flame at sirus8, when i came back to my HO i notice that the animate is dead... surprise xD

1. 4 specters (Raise Specter gem level 25) Atm its lvl 20 but now it goes slowly

20 is the natural cap on gems. To level it to 21 you need to use a Vaal Orb, but the result is not guaranteed. To guarantee it, buy it from another player on pathofexile.com/trade (top of the website - you want "search items")

You also get effective gem levels necromancer ascendancy.

2. Cluster Jewels Are these just the ghastly eye jewels you put into the skill tree? Or are these large jewel sockets? but I don't see those on the PoB Pastebin.

Cluster jewels are not the eyes, but they also go in the skill tree (I think that's what you meant by "large jewel sockets") https://pathofexile.fandom.com/wiki/Cluster_Jewel
The Minion Army build does not utilize cluster jewels.

3. Devouring Diadem + reserve Haste aura Is this an item I need to farm? What is the reserve aura?

Farm or purchase. It's an expensive item and not one you need to complete content with the Minion Army build. Reservation: https://pathofexile.fandom.com/wiki/Mana_reservation

4. 5 specters (6L delve body) at what level can I find this in the mines?

https://pathofexile.fandom.com/wiki/Fungal_Caverns 50+ in a room that says it drops aura and minion items.

5. Awakened Dems, I suppose this means awakening gems with gem cutter prism? Do you lose the 3rd specter if you do it if the gems are lvl25?

No. Awakened are a separate, straight upgrade version of a base skill. https://pathofexile.fandom.com/wiki/Awakened_Support_Skill_Gems

6. Unending Hunger* This is a gem I use in the passive skill tree right?


Thanks for helping!

Correct.

I use "animate guardian" with "curse enemies with elemental weakness" on hit effect. I also have a ring with "curse on hit effect". Do both curses even work? iirc you can only put one curse normally.

The Animated Guardian is viewed as another player character for the application rules of a curse. So either you or the AG needs to have +1 to curse for both cursed to apply. Otherwise, just like player curses with same or no +number of curses, they will override.

Hi guys!

Is there a chaos based spectre with high life?

My main problem right now is the ultimatum mechanic with the trialmaster in Red Maps.
Seems my SO Spectre cant kill the mobs fast enough, so they get always in melee range and do less dmg.

Am i missing sth, or are the SO just not the best Spectre for the mechanic.

Mhh, my SO are absolutely wrecking Ultimatums. Doing something like this:

- start Ultimatum
- Convocation so the SO are all together
- they start killing stuff, and because they have taunt, they are making the tankier and newely spawning stuff walk towards them
- once there is a kind of ball of monsters formed around my SO, I use Convocation at the other end of the arena
- since everything is nicely grouped together and SO are ranged again, they start killing
- repeat until last wave done

Has proven to be very effective so far.

But yes, many others have said that Crabbies are great for Ultimatums, so if you can live with their slow clear speed, you could swap.
