Thx a lot for the build, currently only at act 7 but moving in the right direction (I hope).

a quick question:
you mentioned temple guardians as your favourite spectres, but I couldn't access Oriath Square and The Templar Courts after act 5. How else can I get them?

Hey,

Sounds awesome bro, keep it up!

Heretical Guardians, desecrated chambers. I'll update the link, they are easier to access and are exact copies of one another :)

Thx for the quick respone!

@Lowprofiled:

My pleasure bro :)

Hi Ghazzy,

Just started to play your build and it's pretty great, but got a bit confused with Raise Spectre gem links section. How does Increase Duration works with Raise Spectre gem? Or am I missing something?

Thanks in advance.

Hey,

Awesome!

The reason we link Inc Duration with the spectres chosen for this build is the fact that they are using an ability called "Proximity Shield" which grants anyone inside of it immunity to splash & projectile damage coming from outside of the bubble. The Duration will increase the time this bubble is up :)

Thanks for quick response.

That was tricky, but now makes perfect sense.

Thanks once again!

I've come up with this build https://pastebin.com/zru8kKY2 for me.

It's basically a derivation from your build, but I filled the gaps you left for players to fill and changed some core stuff.

1. I think it works better having a hybrid ES so it falls on the budget side.
- By having more ES it also decreased the dependency on life flasks.

2. It does not require a Chest with the +1 skele.
- No need for a open modifier for it.

3. Added a curse for increasing the DPS.
- Also I put Enfeeble there for hard fights, like the Leap Slam bosses.

4. Has 6 extra replace skill gems that fits the same colors of the current gems.
- Opt for LMP, GMP or Slower Projectiles for different areas. Also, has a the Life extending gems for the Zombies and Leap Slam for jumping on specific maps.

5. Elemental Focus works better than Empower for the skele mages, and it's also WAY cheaper for colors and currency wise.

6. Increased the aura range by a lot, so it allows me to be more distant from mobs and bosses whenever needed.

7. Has 6 gems and extra 10 points to spend. Has a lot of room for further increases survivability or DPS.

In the end, thanks for sharing your build, since it showed me that it would be possible to further enjoy playing with it!

I promote people to see my build guides more as guidelines rather than "it's this way or no way". :)

I'll make some comments on your statements though from my PoV;

1) Hybrid has been seen for a long time as the games worst type of defence. If you get connecting hits your eHP will only be what ever is left after flasking which is only your Life pool, not ES included. Only way to get that back is regeneration which is highly ineffective or recharge which requires you to take 0 damage for a few seconds, this includes Damage over Time effects & what not. This makes a perfect recipe of a fake safety feeling. Whilst a full life version you can flask your entire eHP pool at any given time so after recieving connecting hits you will after flasking have the same optimal eHP pool, unlike a hybrid option. Though if you run Hybrid as in EB/MoM/ZO then sustaining the eHP is reliable and becomes more of an optimal choice as well as being able to reserve every point of mana :)

2) +1

3) Nice

4) -

5) I'm pretty sure Empower scales them better than Elemental Focus...? Correct me if I'm wrong. Not to mention that the Lightning skellies provides shocking fairly reliably since they also crit with Power Charges granting 600% inc crit chance for them via NA.

6) Aura radius isn't that needed, but sure.

7) This is a great addition.


As mentioned earlier, just because I personally wouldn't enjoy the approach you've taken, doesn't mean others might. Thank you for sharing! :)
PoE is an ARPG game which means we'll be doing a lot of repetitive grinding, make sure you play what ever you will enjoy the most whilst doing that.

Go for the Bone helmet. Both are additive, though Bone Helmet should be easier to find a properly rolled one and should be cheaper!

Hello. How are you? I'd like some info on your build. Could you please tell about the equipment you used during your lvling and the end game equipments? I'm kinda lost. I'm new to the game. Thanks in advance.
