I really love spiders and EVF combo, it just feels like 10 times better than SD. SDs are so dump so they slow down my clear speed a lot, boss dmg is not that great also even tho i put them in a 6L, plus 3 level helmet. With spiders, my clear speed is so much better because spiders are so aggresive and fast, also EVFs are excel in boss killing (not with mobile bosses because EVFs are kinda slow :P). The only thing i think i should do now is to push spiders' damage even further for smoother mapping, but idk if i should take the big minion cluster on the very left side of the tree or go for another medium cluster jewel. And btw have anyone try pathing down to bottom left instead of top right like kay did ? You'll get lots of resists, max resists by doing so.

I actually have a left-side version as well. DPS is the same. More life/less ES. It's actually better for S&S because the life recovery is a percent.

Or you can lose a little life and use 2x medium with renewal and 2x cold-blooded killer.

Secret Spiders build: https://pastebin.com/nRx5NWgH

i can also recommend Baranite Preacher for T16 mapping.

One user recommended them to me after i raised some BTs in his hideout.

Okay I got a good enough bow to start switching process now.



Hitting Chain +1 with Socketed Gem +1 & 20% more Socketed Attack seems almost impossible :P
Method would be Gem +1/20% more Attack & Chain +1 -> repeat Craicic Chimeral+Regal if anyone is interested.

6L for the bow would be Raise Spectre-Minion Damage-Vicious Projectiles-Deathmark-GMP-Pierce or Chain(GMP->Hypothermia for ST).
Since I won't be using Empower, multi-craft would be minion damage and minion attack speed instead of +2 Support Gems.
To my knowledge, Empower is less damage(~35% more damage) but more life compared to other dps gems, so other dps gems will be better with 405% life of RS.

With additional 3 sockets(Maloney's Mechanism quiver), I'm considering Awakened Curse on Hit with Proj.Weakness and Frostbite linked to Storm Brand for better ST.

I need A LOT of currency for Awakened Chain, Awakened Curse on Hit, +1 Spectre 6L Body, 6L Bow, etc though. Time to grind :)

You should get one more Spectre on raising its level to 31.

So dunno about the less damage.

Hmm I think it doesn't?
Wiki and poedb both say it gives 3 spectres at gem level 25~40, and there's also a reddit post about it.
https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/eay07t/psa_raise_spectre_does_not_gives_4th_spectre_at/

It sure will be the best dps gem if it gives 4th spectre though.

Nice guide and post in general! Aprecciate all your work and passion in this post.

One question. Do you think its a good idea play AG in the EB and MOM build option by replacing it for Summon Stone golem?

Ty and best regards! ^^

OMG! 946 pages ... no way I can read this...

So ...

I am playing HC SSF, for now slowly folowing the lvling guide. But is anyone playing it endgame in HC ssf? I would like so advise to know what type of spectre is the safier/faster.

Thx in advence

redemption sentry + lmp + pierce : good clear / dmg and can freeze mobs / boss on T16 map

https://poedb.tw/us/mon.php?n=Redemption+Sentry

just give a try to the Rsentry on sirus A8 with a modified starter build, barnite preacher are better than Sd on boss kill, but Rsentry touch the sky.

i use vicious Proj + elem focus + elem dmg attacks skill + minion dmg + Death Mk for boss kill, and lmp+ piecre for map .

Rsentry try it it's keep it, really good specters !!

Thx a lot! Guess meanwhile I arrive to the body of this mob, I gonna use Slave driver for leveling

1) What are your thoughts on using a Glorious vanity for the 50% of ele dmg taken as chaos and then capping your (85%) chaos res?

I loaded my summoner with it previously and now I have 76/77/76/86 res. Finding it quite tough to give up on that :D

(I've pathed to Soul of Steel for the +1% max ele res, and my glorious vanity gives me +1% max cold and +1% max chaos res. I also have one more +1% chaos but that needs 3 points to get. May consider after a few levels).

I'm using a Taste of Hate to get 20% of Phys dmg taken as cold. I had another mod on my helm, but I swapped the helm out for speaker's wreath. Trying to corrupt a Victario's charity for another phys taken as implicit.

PS: Still transitioning to the build with EVF or maybe RS later. I have to find a new place for my Glorious Vanity though, so I can get Death Attunement.



2) Also, why does melee phys dmg work with EVF. Aren't we trying to scale the Ele Hit dmg?

"Each attack with this skill will choose an element at random, and will only be able to deal damage of that element."

Doesn't mention anything about phys conversion to that element, or unless I'm missing something.

Sorry if this has already been answered, I’m about to switch from the base build to the spider build, but how are you supposed to get three green sockets on the helm (speakers wreath) since it is str/int base? I’ve used tons of chromatic orbs and I don’t have anything higher than ‘at least two green sockets’ on my crafting bench.
