Compared to the glove as above,which is better?


It's difficult to use well.

1. you need to hit monster before they die so they get the curse.
2. they die and lie on the ground.
3. other monsters die near the dead monsters.
4. other monsters die and then explode.

too many steps. it's easier to just kill monsters.

Ooh one more thing I meant to ask. I’ve ran many minion builds but only a couple have ran grave intentions, should I prioritise those 3 nodes over anything in particular, and if so which nodes, my lil necro is 94, I die so much because I’m clumsy so assume I won’t get 3 more levels to allocate. Haven’t allocated the grave intentions wheel at all yet.

Also trying out those blight gloves mentioned by someone, they’re pretty cool and fun.


Grave Intentions gives:

1. a nice DPS boost from Unholy Might.
2. extra ES for minion survivability. also helps to keep them at full health for renewal
3. If you use a Kingmaker AG, it will help keep the AG alive if you use Mask of the Stitched Demon.

You can skip it if the 3 things are not so important for you.

Hey! Currently leveling the build and I was wondering, which spectre setup would be the best for bossing? EB/MoM with RS, spider variant with EVF or any other combo? I am kinda torn apart between those two builds, EB/MoM looks safer however I like the way spiders clear and I could do bosses without changing any gear, just swapping the weapons so that's a big QoL. How squishier is the spider variant?


Would you like to be more confused?

I'm testing the Redemption Knight now. It looks like it could replace EVF completely actually. The single hit damage seems lower than EVF, but RK attack time is 1.17 vs 1.6 for EVF, so overall DPS is the same. They run faster than my necro and have a large aoe attack.

It will work with S&S and EB & MoM.

With S&S, weapon swap is all you need to map/boss.

They can run in EB & MoM and clear well with awakened melee splash (only cost 10c!). You can kill map bosses with melee splash as well. And for endgame bosses, you will want multistrike for a big DPS kick.

I'll post a video to youtube soon.

I'd love to have some light:

Aside from the SD base build, how much currency do I need to pump to pick any of the others version? Focusing on doing farming T16/shapers and A8. It would be awesome if it could do blighted T13+ maps.


The most expensive is 6L +1 delve body armour. After that you just need to buy some uniques that are cheap now. Most of the cost will be in small things like gloves or rings.

I think the build is cheap overall and then you can spend more to upgrade to awakened gems or better cluster jewels.

Hi kay,

Loving your Spiders build so far and planning on trying the PoH build. Any news on when you are going to update this section?


PoH is a tricky build. The low budget version is similar to EB & MoM actually. The tree is basically the same, but some gems are moved around. I have a high budget version as well, but I don't know if it's worth using now because the best new spectres in 3.10 are attack spectres. They are best in EB & MoM.

I can update the PoH build for clusters and 3.10 gearing, though.

Hello Kay (and everyone else!)

I'm following your guide for a while (tho not really copying it because i like more tankiness especially physical in some situations, both for me and my minions)

I tried to install the POB fork and copied the spectres lua to include redemption sentries, but it just seems to not work properly (only the melees are shown, not the skills and the values just seem too low, showing the sentries doing barely 100k dps when they're doing wave 20 simulacrum fairly easily, at the same rate as my slave drivers when they were around 2m pob dps), i'd really like to play around with clusters to minmax around RS so any idea how to fix that?

After looking into it it seems the melee scales the same as their projectiles, but it still feels a bit off what i'm seeing"on the field"


Also i'd like to share a few tips in here, that might help some people a lot, first one is

are amazing gloves for mapping/delving and most of all simulacrum (it drops a blight pod giving you and your minions an aura which can be haste/precision/a massive es boost /cannot die aura(!) and they can be annointed, which allows to save a lot of points from the tree, they're basically a mini hh for necros and they're quite cheap(a few C), they'll definitely outperform any gloves for every content where you kill rares and don't move around a lot.


Second one is a more expensive one, but Awakened Fork is insane for clearing with RS, especially when the mob density is high like in Delve or Simulacrum, combined with GMP you get a stupid amount of projectiles and damage.

I'm gonna toy around the fact RS can impale, i'm thinking about using dread banner and replace the brand with shattering steel to trigger ee and give impale stages, i think it might be an idea to explore for bossing, i'm also thinking about rotten claws, another idea would be to use precision with vicious bites...

I'm gonna try things both in POB and in game, will update if something stands out.


Yes, I really like Awakened Fork for projectile spectres. It works really well in delve!

RS has 75% cold conversion, but after hatred scaling, they do 90-97% cold damage, so the phys damage is actually really low. It's better to scale elemental damage as much as possible than impale.

But I'm thinking Arena Master might be good for pure physical scaling and impale. It has base 1492 damage and 1.17 attack time! Map clearing might not be good, though.

The gloves are very interesting. How are they when you are mapping quickly?

About editing PoB. You need to edit two files. One file is for the spectre list and the second file is for spectre skill. The name of the file is at the top of the box.

Hi Kay, i'm struggling to like RS, don't know what, but their clear speed feels slow. Can you take a look at my POB link?
Please, just give me some tips how to upgrade the build so the RS' clear speed would feel better.

i have 2 skill points to spare now.
Curious about links for Flame Sentinel and Frost Sentinel? I have my ideas of course just trying to confirm.
Clearing is focus as I’m still early on and prefer to use Sentinels for clearing to the ones you listed. I’ll probably just use a Slave Driver for bosses when needed.

Also, what are the best changes I can look to make for SC passives? The beginner build seems to have a lot of emphasis on +life (completely logical for HC).
E: Great guide, thanks!

Hey there, great build and a great, very comrpehensive guide! Made it to lvl 88 after 3 days of playing, using the PoH slavedrivers first but have since switched to wand + shield redemption sentries.

I do have a few questions which I hope can be answered.

First off; is it really recommended to keep using quartz flask even with the watcher's eye that gives phasing? I've got 60/45 block and 10/10 dodge just doesn't seem that great, or am I missing something? I feel like when I die, it's due to one shots, where maybe a basalt will help more.

Secondly and lastly, on redemption sentries, I don't often see them having power charges even with pcoc. Any supports that might be a good replacement for pcoc? I was thinking hypothermia due to guaranteed chill from skitterbots.

Thanks in advance, and many thanks for writing an awesome guide to an awesome build!
