[3.12] Invincible Spectres Necro Summoner - HC Viable - Boss Killer - High Clear Speed

Thanks so much for the guide, man. Even though I'm not following your build, you showed me this wicked interaction with Life From Death. RNGesus bless you <3

is there a POB for this build?

First time playing summoner, I have like no damage at all.

I got 9 zombies, and 3 spectres.

I need to spend like 5 sec on every small mob pack, and bosses are standing there forever.

I'm using skitterbots and anger as auras.

I don't know how different types of spectres work, you have to look for specific mobs on maps, or something?

Use frost sentinels from Lunaris Temple in act 8. You'll also want to switch over to using hatred instead of anger - see the levelling tips section on the first page. Also make sure you are applying EE correctly (make sure you don't do any cold damage or take avatar of fire).

I'm running this setup and damage is not too bad; however, I'm only running up to T5 maps so far. Some bosses melt pretty fast and clear is decent.

As hugh90 mentioned, make sure you apply EE correctly and have Frost Sentinels. Having the correct spectre setup is crucial to the performance of the build.

You will need to use spectres that primarily deal cold damage and Hatred to properly benefit from Bonechill Support.

Anger instead of Hatred also means your zombies won't inflict exposure correctly, if you are using Frost Sentinels.

A wand with raw minion damage and +1 level to spell and/or minion gems will help your damage tremendously.

6-Link will also be a major improvement, suffice to say.

A level 21 Raise Spectre gem should also be high priority, as the extra level will benefit both your spectres and your phantasms quite a lot.

Get Ravenous Horde using Thread of Hope or anointment of your amulet. The Onslaught for minions is quite substantial.

Also get Unending Hunger if you haven't. It will greatly benefit your clear speed.

Cindershallow will also add some damage to your build.

How can you say the damage is meh, spectres have been highly used since forever...And the OP has said that made a 100% delirium t15 with no problem.


I have a question if someone can enlighten me.

How exactly does hatred and EE work.

You convert x% from physical damage to cold, meaning you will always have cold damage on your kinetic bolt. Without taking the Avatar of fire, how exactly do you convert the cold from Hatred to something else to expose cold consistently.

You link it to Generosity Support.

Supports aura skills that affect you and allies, increasing the aura's effect on allies, but preventing it from affecting you at all.

Currently playing the build in Harvest HC and having a blast. Few things I wanted to ask.

You suggest to grab shield charge with fortify but never say if/when you drop those gems. They are also not in your final gem setup. I am wondering what you would drop from your final to make room for shield charge/fort and if you suggest them in the final setup.

Also, one thing I have noticed so far in HC is a lack of phasing. I see this getting me killed down the line and was wondering if you have a suggesting to achieve phasing. AFAIK I can't use the abyss jewels for phasing on kill because I am not personally killing anything. Would dropping the basalt for a phasing be okay?

Other than that the build is awesome and I can tell you put a lot of work into it!! Had literally 0 issues all through the story, steamrolled everything. Tanky as hell and great damage so far.

I was wondering the same thing, for some days now looking at the final gem setup I thought I dreamt about reading it.

I think you must look at it from the convenience perspective. Frost Sentinels are moving so slow that convocation might add a lot of convenience . Also Flame Dash > Shield charge ( my opinion buff said), second wind just makes everything better to use convocation almost all the time.

On the other hand Fortify and shield charge might be for HC players boosting surv.


So I think it's like the above, but maybe OP can explain.

Do our minions apply EE as well?
I'm using Kinetic bolt and hatred which is bound to generosity so i should only apply lightning damage. Yet when i look at the monsters i see that its resitent to cold AND chaos, the 2 types my summons are using.

Am i doing something wrong here. Everyhing is easy though, it just messes with my that i always see them resistant to cold and chaos.
