Hello !

I'm thinking about league starting with the Pure Spectre build next league but after looking at it on PoB I'm a bit concerned about the damage. It says there are 5 minions doing 275k DPS so that's less than 2M DPS. It seems a bit low so how is the clear speed and single target ? And is PoB not properly calculating minion stuff ?


POB actually shows proj dps instead of full dps for SO’s. The approximate DPS would be something like: number of projs hitting * number of spectres * DPS number on POB.
SO get a shotgun effect.

Normally SO shoot 3 projectiles in straight lines. Only one projectile can hit the same target.

With GMP or volley, they get extra projectiles + the projectiles change direction. So each projectile can hit the same target.

POB doesn't calculate it.

Thanks for using the Minion Army build in the gauntlet! I always appreciate feedback from hardcore because I don't play it.

Interested in playing summoner again next league, first time since 3.3 I think.

Got a small question - if I want to get to maps ASAP (<5 hours), is it better to just go the usual stormblast mines/OoS/WoC witch, respeccing later, or is summoner leveling actually viable nowadays? I remember last time I tried it, it was either slowing yourself down immensely by casting SRS, or just having extremely squishy summons around act 3's end and the entirety of act 4...

I think my fastest with pure summoner 1-10 was about 5hrs with tabula + goldrim + wanderlust. 1-4 was slow. pick up first lab and spectres in act 5. then rest of acts was just running through as fast as possible.

Unleash makes SRS much better now (4 in one cast) but after spectres, they're just for extra dps.

Maybe even faster to maps if you get SO spectres from 6666... but can't do that if you start when server's up.

Hi Kay, thanks for the great guide again!
I used your Minion bomber build this time and it was awesome!
Too bad the Ultimatum league wasn't fun. I only finished 24 challenges this time. Hopefully next league is more interesting :)

I saw your skeleton build on youtube. It looked really good. I want to try it next league!
Hey there :) I first off thanks for these amazing builds :))

would love to start with your minion army build for next league and switch over to pure spectres later on.

What would be an good time ( items I should have at least ) to switch between the two ?

Thanks!

I'm thinking to change Minion Army starter build to 2 versions: 1. spectre in 6L and skele in 6L. and upgrade path is Pure Spectres or new skele build!
