I just beat Sirus in SSFHC with the Minion Army Necromancer build (and only 3 FAS Spectres)

A couple of possible improvements :

* Anointed Flesh (+1 max all res and shock protection)
* Unwavering Stance (we don't have evasion anyway, and this is needed for HC)
* The minion survival nodes near EE are only needed for Sirus and Veritania basically, in maps I didn't have problems without.
* Im not 100% convinced to swap multi proj for bosses, maybe it was just an impression, but I seem to kill them faster with that gem (maybe it shotguns ?)

hi everyone

I am currently doing a 4-spectre SO build and its great, but I had a really hard time for boss fights

my minions got melted by a AL8 maven invitation of breacholders, and they also died a lot during a AL0 queen fight (alluring abyss)

does anyone encounter similar problem and can offer some advice? will it be better if I switch to Primal Crushclaws?

Hey guys, is there any sort of approximate budget to start building Skellies or Spectre? i'm having around 10 ex and don't know if i can build any of those 2( 3 if we count mage skellies) with that budget, i've seen the wands and chest piece craft and they seem really expensive.

You can start playing this without any budget at all. Take the "Minion Army" Build as a baseline and upgrade piece by piece. These two builds seamlessly transition into each other. Upgrade priority as Kay suggests in her guide. If you feel your spectres are powerhouses that breeze through everything, just finalize your transition. I think the power gap between the two builds has gotten far smaller with the recent changes.


Thanks for the advice brother, will be starting today with the Minion Army and then upgrade from that :D
With just 4 green triad gloves, could you start as Spectres or will it be hard without the other stuff?

Thanks!
Nope the triad grips alone are simply alone not enough for pure spectres.

You should have at least 4 spectres before considering the switch either by raising the gem lvl to 25 or getting a rare chest piece with +1 to maximum spectre.

The +1 spectre mod is delve-exclusive though...
and with life and triple resistances they are fairly expensive.

Just stick with the minion army build for now until you got enough currency for the switch. Without much investment they should be able to carry you to at least through high tier yellow maps.

When you fight 1x breachlord, it's super easy. But Maven Breachlord fight is really hard especially with mods. I think you need to kill Tul and Esh first.

Uber Atziri is difficult because of 2% reflect. Try using sybil's lament.

Nice work!

Thanks for feedback ideas, especially for HC! I kept minion survivability in tree because in the past people said spectres kept dying (but actually I don't use it for myself :P)

About GMP, maybe the mortar's aoe can overlap?

I'm going to retire S&S build actually...

New version of Sentinels & Spiders will be the replacement build. It's cheaper to start and scales higher.

New guide before weekend I hope.

I'm also working on Spider occultist build too.

Hi Kay,

Thanks for creating so much good content which I enjoy a lot.
I have a question, which physical spell spectre do you recommend good bossing and average clear?

thanks!


Templar Tactician is phys base with lightning conversion, so you can run hatred + wrath + skitter. You can even add zealotry for triple aura. Need Aul's amulet.
