[3.22] SadPanda's Summon Crit Mage Skeletons Guide | All the Uber Uber content done/Deep delver

Love the build so far, tough and killy!

I picked up a Phantasmal Desecrate, but haven't had any luck spawning the Pale Seraphim corpse yet. Is there a trick to it, or just patience and persistence (or is it even possible this league)?

Has anyone had any luck getting their hands on one of those specters yet?

Hello, sorry if someone asked, but how we proc chill effect for hypothermia gem?

When i should changes alberon warpath for a rare brittle boots in my character?

Question on Spectres.

Right now I was using 2 carnage and 1 host to get more charges on my minions faster, but I just unlocked a 4th spectre and I think I might be doing my spectres wrong. Should I follow the guide here and do 1 carnage, 1 host, 1 pale, one bubble bro (who sounds very useful)? I didn't think without lifetap that the monkeys could maintain charges well, but that might be old information on my part.

Best spectres to use imo are x2 Carnage and x2 Host chieftains.
It's the only way you reliably can get 2 Frenzy and Power Charges on your skeletons outside of using Necro Aegis.

The problem with Skeletons is that you constantly resummon them, either because you're on the move or because they die due to the 4 second Blessed Rebirth duration ending.

Chieftains have an 8 second cooldown on their Mass Power/Frenzy abilities.
If you only have x1 of each spectre, you will have resummoned your skeletons in 99% of cases before they get to cast the ability again. Usually because they just fall over when Blessed Rebirth ends. So the skellies never get above x1 of each charge.

Even very good gear, x2 of Each Charge is superior as it provides better burst. In good gear most builds kill tankier targets like bosses in less than 5 seconds. Running x2 of each monkey allows you to start combat with x2 of each charge for far more dps. If you only have one of each monkey dps/burst damage will be lower, boss might survive longer and just oneshot your skellies with some AoE and you have to resummon them et.c.

In the end, you can choose to use whatever spectres you like. If you don't care about more dps, then there's other choices to choose from.
But imo, x2 of each Charge Gorilla is superior.

I am using at least 1 heretic guardian just to make myself safe when I have meat shield on my spectres, this comes most handy at boss carries since most of the attacks comes from outside sources so the proximity shield can block them.
deadandlivin's choice sounds reasonable enough
My propositions as useful spectres are:
carnage chieftain
host chieftain
pale seraphim
arena master
heretic guardian(defence)

you can pick and choose for your own taste

Our skellies crit and they often have at least some cold projectile throwing spctres, so we almost always chill. Unless you are using elemental focus which we dont.

I felt like going brittle just because it felt like more damage on bosses, for clearing purposes I think alberons are still solid.
