Sorry about the crap formatting, I did it in excel, then tried to fix it some, but I'm lazy :P
Is this the path for the gems?
This is based off of early leveling where the other minion types are still useful.

This is normally how I gem up:

Is 153% hp from tree really enough?

I haven't played much the last 2 leagues but I was under the impression that Spectres were simply stronger than SRS lately for both clear speed and bossing.

With that being said my question is simply, is there any objective reason to actually play SRS this league as opposed to Spectre's, or is it just for fun? Thanks.

Well, as far as clear speed, sure. SRS can't beat Solar Guards on clear speed in open maps. Most of Delve will be tight hallways which will definitely cater to SRS's "rolling wave" playstyle. But it is objectively better? I don't know.

As far as bossing... SRS are stupid strong and they're about to get even better. I'm not sure where end-game spectre damage is at, comparatively.

The highest I've pushed my damage can be found on the PoB here: https://pastebin.com/cLGf5Ref

Note that this is "top end" DPS due to checking vaal skills and assuming Avian's Might is active. ( 332,970.3 Per SRS is 6,659,406 overall, plus 20% for Vaal Lightning Trap's Shocking ground which is an additional 1,331,881.2 for a total of a max of 7,991,281.2) This is also modest gear abyss gem wise and could get even better. And yes, this is with Shaper/Boss plugged in as the Enemy, and no, I didn't click "Shocked."

Pretty sure its still a subjective choice for most people, no matter how much damage SRS can do. Some folks just don't like to actively summon and would rather kick back while Spectres fight things.

It ends up being 6k life for Covenant and 7k is easily obtained if using Belly. You trade blood magic for total life % when you compare the two. It's a playstyle choice, and I think both HP pools are decent enough. I killed Uber Elder with 6,197 life.

can't get the new tree links to work with the updated PoB

I just updated to 1.4.104 and I am able to get it to come up when using "New" and pasting the Copy/Paste data. If you are trying to import directly from the link, try the raw paste data instead.

1.4.99 and i still can't make it work, any more ideas

it worked thank you guys

great build

Trying out this build with Delve, having fun so far. Was going to go with a Covenant version, but then a 40% Belly dropped for me, and I'm not about to look a gift horse in the mouth.

Also I don't mean to sound rude, but is there any reason in particular you used an imgur gallery for leveling trees instead of, you know, a link to the skill tree you took screenshots of?

What boots\rings\jewel\ i need in late game?

Seemed like it would have been easier for people to scroll through an album than open 4 different links, then seeing it all together step by step would help show how all of it fits together for the final tree. NeverSink's TS guide does this same thing (leveling img album) and I thought it worked well, so I did the same thing.

I'll include both the album and the links when I update, thank you for your feedback.

Congrats on your Belly! :)

Boots are Rares, not a unique, so grab some with high life, resistances and movement speed. Rings are the same. Coral is the base of choice but capping your resistances is more important than base type.

For jewels you want Ghastly. Refer the the guide for what rolls you'll need and how to roll them. Hope this helps!
