You can also get +1 to spectre gems from bound fossils on boots. That with lvl4 empower and I guess corrupt chest could also do it.

My plan to use this build modified, hoping that without phase acrobat but with a bit more health + bone armor + 10% phys reduce + zombies close to me to shield me + using 2 golems (stone/chaos + the new one)

And then hoping that it will not be completly terrible because I did not followed the guild completly:)

Good news about Delve chest being confirmed as keeping +1 spectre. This is going to make it so overpriced and people are going to cry when they annul it while crafting hehe.

So, it seems like the rework hasn't completely tanked spectres.

Level 19 gem + unnatural strength + death attunement passive gives 4 spectres.
You could even hit a helmet with some chaos orbs to get +2 minion gem, and then you only need a level 17 gem! Start mapping with 4x level 81 spectres - 4-link is sufficient for early mapping.

Next upgrade would be a Vis Mortis with its 20% elemental gained as chaos. It's almost as good as a 5th spectre.

After that a rare +spectre chest would be a small upgrade in terms of spectre power since the 5th spec's damage will scale with EE unlike the added chaos damage from Vis. The cost of this will probably be out of most people's reach.

The next stop would be an i86 elder helmet with +3 minion, minion damage, conc effect. I expect this to be prohibitively expensive. The absolute top end would probably be a horror-crafted i86 elder bone helmet. +3 minion, minion damage, conc effect, +30% ele dmg. This will be so far out of people's budgets. If anyone ever gets this, remember me, the guide writer ;)

For weapons, trigger craft on the wand is still going to be important.

I think the first wand people should get is the temple wand. It has a guaranteed 90-95% minion damage.

Convoking wand would be the next upgrade, but I think it's going to be expensive in terms of crafting since you will want to hit increase gem level and increased damage. If bound fossil crafting is a guide, then the max will be 80% dmg. Might even need to hit +2 gem (is this possible?) to make a Convoking wand clearly better than temple wand.

Pair the wand with Victario's for charges.

The other option would be Pledge of Hands. The PoB numbers are lower than wand & shield, but DPS quality is arguably higher. I will be aiming for Pledge as my endgame weapon.

Lastly, in terms of spectre count, I think chasing the 4th spectre, from the gem, won't be worth it because you will need to sink a lot currency to get 7 extra levels. That will need an Empower 4. Current monster scaling, which is used for spectres, gives them 4.5% dmg per level, so an extra 7 levels is actually less than a straight damage support gem.


I'll be working on the build guide to get it ready for server start. The ideas posted here will be worked into the guide in an 'upgrade path' section. I'll be tweaking the levelling guide to take into account the changes.
