If that's legit, I can't see summoners doing anything but going for the bottom tree nodes and then whichever of Commander of Darkness or Mistress of Sacrifice fits them best, surely?

The movement speed on Mindless Aggression is huge, +2 to all gems is huge and the phys reduction, res, and ES-life regen is all beneficiary.

Quite like Plaguebringer too actually.

If it is then its goodbye specters for me and it's either skellies or golems next league.

may be trying 6 spectre low life now :D?

Don't panic yet. It isn't official until GGG themselves post it. We haven't seen the new raise specter gem changes yet. Hopefully they will add part of the damage and life increase from the ascendancy to the gem. They did that with Skellies if I'm not mistaken they added the extra summons to the gem when they took them off the ascendancy node. But unfortunately there was some trade off it looks like for Skellies you will need to get minion accuracy again since they took away the enemies can't evade.

I'm expecting the Specter gem to have if to lucky half of the Specter node added so maybe it will be 50% increased damage. The life part they may take away what with the Wraithlord Unique.

I'm expecting something similar, likely with Spectre life scaling more with gem levels. If that's the case, the +2 might bring quite some life.
Additionally, there seems to be a higher minion life node on the tree which also brings all minion Res and bleed immunity. Not worried about Spectre survivability just yet.

I've been asking this in a few places, but with the ability coming to do full physical conversion what are your thoughts on Tentacle miscreations or Lunaris Concubines now?

All the monsters seemed to be balanced around player armour levels, so anything pure phys has pitiful dps, eg. Slave Drivers do 1600-4700 lightning damage and Crazed Drivers do 500-750 phys damage.

I did a test run with Concubines and their base damage seems really, really low. Even with full conversion, you'd still be better off not using them.

I did try Templar Adjudicators, which does 951.9 to 1428 phys with 80% lightning conversion, but even then the best you can scale their damage to is about 3000 with added fire, hatred and grip. You could just use SDs.

The leak is a bit of a downer, but I'll reserve judgement/thoughts for the official release this weekend. I'm hoping GGG show us the new Raise Spectre gem, too.

Cool thanks for the details!

I have 1 timeless jew with 4 note Minions deal 80% increased dame, and 1 note Minions have 80% increased maximum life on the left skill tree with u POH build but it's make disappear 4 note increased max life and need more point to connect last note 80% minions dame, need 3 point for 80% minions life, can use it's with only 3 note dames, I don't know it's necessary for Slave Drive or not.

This build is awesome, im just sad i found it so close to the end of the league.

It maps and delves really well, i really like the play style.

I had tried to do Uber Elder twice, both times with desecrate giving level 81 corpse at max, and none of my gems had quality. I got some better gems and qualitied the ones i had that were high enough level.

Ive just killed Uber Elder, although i died on the last portal at the same time as him, so i dont think it counts! I saw a jewel drop too.

Is the animate guardian meant to survive UE? I saw that you didnt have it in your video, and mine died before shapers first phase?

Also i lost 2 spectres at one point. The highest area i can access is 82 in the mines, will that be the reason why they died? The damage is insane but the toughness of the spectres, for me, was a little bit low.

Again, thanks for the great build, i really enjoyed it. Judging by the changes we've seen so far for 3.8 i dont think spectres alone will be a viable build for endgame :(
