What's the best spectre setup to complete Merciless Labyrinth? Just take Vanguards and one aoe spectre?

EDIT: Easily done with two vanguards and one WM

I don't even bother with the AOE spectre. I also don't bother killing anything except Izaro.

I am having the same issue too with zombies. They are just wrecking face that it's hard to capture beasts. Maybe once I get into mapping it will be better.

What I tend to do is throw my net when the mob is around 50% and by the time the animation plays out, it's either dead or close to dying. It's more luck than anything else. It's extremely frustrating.

Throw the net ASAP. As long as it's not dead before you throw it, your minions will pull it's health down to zero and you still get to capture it.

Hey, thanks for the great guide!

Can somebody check my setup? Just started today and kinda got lucky on the drops. Just killed Innocence and my 8 zombies mainly did the job there and a bit SRS ofc. I kinda want to go full into spectres and I got all the gear mentioned in the guide except the necklace. Still I don*t really understand how it's supposed to work. The 4 Spectres really won't do the job. Or is there some other option for the spectres around 50ish to get? Or wait for the ones from coast? TV? Guess I will see anyway and stick to the triple setup... I don't really have trouble capturing beasts. Just click fast enuff. Which shield is used on the Shaper kill btw.?

Here's my character.

Will be thankful for any hints :D first time rolling minion based character.

Passing on some info...

Leveled with the kitchen sink... Skelly totem, specs, zombies and frost bolt.

Did merc lab with 3 Vanguards and 4l skelly totem. Cake.

Current spec - Invoker, soul weaver, bone sculptor.

Passed up on mistress of sacrifice... For now

Bs is awesome... Skellies rock with it. 100% better. They feel almost aggressive.

Current 4 vanguards on a 5l, 8 zombies and 4l skelly totem with 1 dead reckoning. Slaughtering the low level maps. The totem takes trash out pretty quick.

Using Midnight Bargain for the extra spec till better gear gets here. Bargain and bones of ullr are cheap. Easy way to get 4 specs early on. Stack the health though.

Also wanted to point out temp chains makes targeting the beasts much easier for those net jobs. Running temp chains and enfeeble. 4l ball lightning curse on hit. 2 curses.

Im also running rarity at 78... Need those drops early on.

So far so good...

NS

Quick question regarding MoS ascendancy... "40% increased Damage if you have consumed a Corpse Recently", does that affects minions or just my damage?

I would not bother worrying about Spectres untill you hit the solaris temple in act 8 and can summon solar guards. Once you have those + the soul weaver ascendancy you will tear through everything untill t16 maps.

Also remember that the second you hit maps you can buy a lv 19 desecrate, a lvl 19 raise spectre and a +1 chaos gem weapon for your desecrate weapon swap. Then ask in 820 for someone who will let you use a portal to their high tier map so you can summon upto t17 spectres to go back and rip through T1+ maps.

Hi everybody

I started yesterday and I follow this build.
I've just one question. Can I kill all with this build or there is a nerf with the ascendancy ?
I continue or i stop ?

thk for your reply :)

Hey guys,

I'm trying to figure out needed resistances for spectres. F.e. these ones http://poedb.tw/us/mon.php?n=Prayer+Guard

Poedb states resistance for Normal, Cruel and Merciless... which one I should consider, when there is nomore difficulties in game?

Could somebody advise please?

Just wanted to say thanks for an awesome build. Been running it in 3.1 and started again now in 3.2. It's wonderful. Never had such an easy time on Uber Izaro. Thanks and keep up the great work.
