You could craft lightning damage to spells on your wand and slot Blade Vortex. BV will have 100% uptime and anything it hits will proc EE. This will help a lot with legion encounters because you won't need to stop to cast Storm Brand to tag monsters with EE.
Not sure if there are any on the market, but look for an i86 bone helmet with spectre enchant. Then hit it with bound + pristine + scorched to get something like this:
Keep an eye on the market for jewellery with 'Minions deal increased damage'. They are drop only items and it cannot be crafted.

Spoiler
Pros of this alternate build?
- This build replaces the typical early-game Vis Mortis with Kaom's Heart and a Pseudo 6L helmet for your Spectres.
- It provides a significant DPS and survival upgrade from a 5L Vis Mortis, and was significantly cheaper to put together initially than a 6L Vis Mortis.
- At 8.5K health, the only things you'll get one shot by are telegraphed attacks. Any deaths you incur will feel like your fault.
- You'll still have more than enough damage to clear all the content in the game.
- Also pretty good for leveling in the 90s when deaths become more punishing to your exp.
Gear The helmet + Kaom's Heart are the unique parts of the build.
Lvl 20 Conc Effect/Minion Damage give your Spectres a power boost over the traditional 5L Vis Mortis. Try to get a high life roll if at all possible.
If you can get Socketed Gems deal X% more Elemental Damage, you can turn your Spectres into 7L champions, but it's pretty prohibitively expensive.
Shell out a couple extra chaos if you can find a corruption that's even slightly beneficial.
The rest of the gear is pretty standard late-game fare. Since the whole point of this build is to be beefy, prioritize T1 life rolls everywhere, you can get % maximum life on shield and gloves as well.
If you can get high elemental resistance rolls on most of your gear, you have the option to grab increased % minion damage affixes on amulet/ring/gloves without sacrificing defenses.
Awesome. Thanks for the write up. I feel like this is variant would be good for HC. I'll add it to the build guide.

I just wanted to ask is there any other gems I should keep at level 1 beside Flame Dash and Storm Brand?
Phase Run can be kept at level 1 if you want it to be 'free' (with -7 mana). At level 1, it gives you 30% increased movement speed, and at 20, it gives you 39%.
Convocation should also be kept at level 1.

i was wondering about the +1 spectre mod for chests. i know it only drops in the mines, but is it only on minion nodes or can it drop anywhere in the mines?
It looks like this:
They're very rare, and even if you get a chest drop, the +1 spectre is rare.
