are there any other spectres that can be used in Pledge of Hands aside the one that fire lightning flame burst?

This thread has been going on for a while now, from many leagues ago up until now. Take your time, follow the guide and don't rush it :) we're here to help.
Was looking at "Phase Run" Gem.
It says:
- Base Duration is 1.8 Seconds. Secondary Base is 0.2 Seconds. Cool down time 4 seconds.
So does it mean I can do a Phase Run every 4 seconds, which will last for 2 seconds? (Also, phase run means Stealth? Since as a summoner, I suppose increase melee physical damage will not apply to me.)
What does it mean when they say "100% skill duration per frenzy charge removed". When and how do I 'remove' the frenzy charges?

My original plan was to follow Kay's leveling guide and switch over to Kay's Army at maps.
Is there any reason that I would not want to switch over to the Army gems and Frost Auto Scouts as soon as I can, lets say the mid 40's?

Doing Pure spectres. I was running a carrion golem build, but my minions which i depend on for dmg (zombies) get wrecked in some Maven fights, Sirus, basically anything with high dmg AoE.
If you're pure spectres, then almost all your damage comes from your spectres and your carrion golem. Zombies don't deal as much DPS as carrion or spectres but you can have a lot of them so it's basically more DPS while bossing.
To keep your zombies alive I would recommend using either a 21/20 Zombie gem and/or Anomalous Feeding Frenzy (1% life back on hit).

Yes, phase run grants you phasing which means you can go through monsters and not collide with them, you also become a bit more hard to see by the monsters. More melee physical damage won't affect you, that's correct. Last part means that if you have frenzy charges, every time you use phase run, each frenzy charge you have will grant 100% more duration to Phase Run - at the same time whatever frenzy charges were used will also be removed from you.

Probably because spectres have terrible survivability while levelling or before, there shouldn't be an issue if you can keep them alive though.

Hey guys
I never thought I'd reach out on this forum, despite following the guide like the holy bible. But I'm on a dead-end and before I take drastic measures like selling everything and starting over, I reach out to you.
I love the spec, absolutely smashing experience playing full spectres SO/Crabbies and Kingmaker fully equipped. But I fail miserably at Sirus A8. I'd watched every guide, but I can't seem to be able to do p3. I always take the unavoidable dmg from the cross-shaped fire his images take and get one shotted by them trying to find him (Yes, I learned how to dodge the kill beam).
So, question 1:
1) Do I do something wrong with the build? Or is it my poor gameplay the reason?
2) Do I need more levels? Should I ignore Sirus for now and try to make it to 100 instead? Because he resets my level 95 everytime he pops.
3)Is there an item/a change I can make to the build to be able to kill sirus?
Here is my pastebin. As said, I hate to bother the thread with begging for individual advice but PLEASE help :)

You will need to have a corrupted blood immunity jewel in case you get hit by the physical counterpart of the die beam.
For the spinning beams, you will have to focus on the real Sirus (he is highlighted and you can place deathmark on him) as soon as possible and try to deal as much damage as you can before he uses the multi clone ability.
When he uses that, stand in the middle and as all the Sirus' clones start to channel the die beam you will have to preemptively dodge it (watch a youtube video to know roughly how much time it takes for the die beam to come out -- when you see where it's coming from, you have to move quickly towards Sirus to continue dealing damage)... the clones will subside and you'll get to DPS him until he starts the spinning beams again.
A few other tips: use Solaris so that his area damage has a slightly lesser chance of hitting you and you can accompany it with either Ryslatha so that you never run out of flasks (in case the fight outlasts your flasks) or if you don't have a flask issue then you can use Yugul to have a chance at reflecting the cold counterpart of his die beam.
Hopefully you're able to destroy Sirus with this information, and remember practice makes perfect. You won't be able to do Sirus proficiently until you lock down his pattern and realize you have to stay on top of him so that you don't lose him and die to die beam.
You can also practice on lower awakening Sirus to learn the mechanic better since higher awakening is less forgiving on mistakes. :) Good luck!

I have not reached Sirus yet but I have watched a few youtubes on it.
Quick question - when you say 'Practice at lower awakening Sirus', how do you summon a lower level Sirus vs summon a high level Sirus?
Sorry if this is a really stupid question.

It comes down to how once you progress into the endgame (atlas) and get watchstones, each region with 4 watchstones will give you an awakening level.
There's a total of 32 watchstones possible that can be placed across all regions. If you get all of them, then you get to Awakening 8. Awakening levels add life to unique bosses like Sirus, so each awakening level Sirus hits harder and has more HP, but his loot gets better as well.
I'd highly recommend a video on the Atlas so that you can understand this more in-depth since it could be overwhelming, not confident I can explain it to perfection through this forum post since I just came back from a hiatus, and wasn't updated on the atlas.

Once I reach Awakening 8, can I still go back to do the lower level Sirus?
