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

Hey Kayella, I don't have enough currency and patiente to get your exact gear, so I did the 6L helmet thing with some variations (I'm out of chromas right now). What do you think?

New build has no desecrate front bar??

What will feed bone offering and feast of flesh!!?

How well will Slavedrivers do in emblems vs Solar Guards?

So has anyone tried this build with emblem runs?

I've only done rotas, but Uberelite has a similar build and he did 1.5 lines in 5-emblem fight.

Thanks for the reply. Maybe someone will put up a video soon.

Looks like a good start. Next move would be to 5s your Vis Mortis and 5l it with The Jeweller's Touch prophesy. Then look for an upgrade helm like below.



I was able to get that for less than 50c and craft minion life on it. It has served me well while I save for a 6l Vis Mortis. I recently got a new helm for when I get my Vis Mortis 6l as well in the next few days.

Amazing guide!
I started out with SRS and tried the Spectre when I hit lvl 34.
Swtiched immediately and love it :)
Just finished act 5 for the fist time ever and the slave driver just melting everything, it's amazing.

One question though:
You say in the leveling guide, that you should link storm brand + curse on hit + flammability.
That causes EE to trigger, which ups the defenses against lightning.
But aren't slave driver having a lightning based attack?
I haven't looked it up, but from the view and sounds of it, it looks that way.
Would it be better to switch that setup to Armageddon brand + Conductivity when using slave driver?

Hi I love using these slave drivers, but I wish I had more info on the skill they use. It looks like some kind of lightning tendrils thing? I want to know if it's worth using projectile weakness as a secondary curse with the dual curse craft, and also whether the 'chain' support will work. They kill so fast I can't tell if it's working or not. I saw the part where I should use another mob's stats in PoB but it said 'shock nova' which the slave drivers clearly don't do...

Any help here?

lightning flame surge

So only aoe and spell tag will do anything (not projectile).

correct

Storm Brand is your primary damage source early on before you have slave drivers. Once you pick them up remove points that increase brand damage from tree and swap to Armageddon Brand.

Not sure if this setup will change when leveling guide is updated but that is how it is setup at this time.

Is there something special about Armageddon Brand that I'm missing? Something that would make it an obvious better choice over something like Firestorm? I've never used it tried it for a little while but went back to Firestorm just seems to feel better applying but if I'm missing something on that I'd like to know.

Really glad I read the forums as I stumbled across your guide and I like to check out new spectre meta's and man these are fun. Been using Solar Guards for the longest time and while they are definitely better for clearing maps. These are just incredible boss killers.


I use a hybrid HP/ES style with a defensive play style cause I like to be in the mix and rush around the maps running into mobs to teleport my minions and not worry about dying. Currently sitting at 6590 HP/ 9423 ES (10,650 with Spirit offering)

I can't replicate the trick to getting spectres with Pledge of Hands. I am using a 5 link Pledge, is that the reason?

I find it doesn't even matter what you use but Armageddon offers more flexibility in giving minions direction in my opinion. It also helps them to chase weird bosses who run around. Most of the time I just let Blade Vortex be my primary way to direct minions and I don't need anything more.
