Is it worth using Empower level 4 instead of one of the other 3 support gems for the Animate Guardian?
And if so, which one should be replaced?

AG 21 + Emp 4 + Minion Life 20/20 = about 80-90k life. It will make the AG very tanky. I think replace feeding frenzy if you are worried about AG dying. Elemental Army gives extra max res, so it helps keep alive.

For how mich life should i aim ? is about 6k enough ?

If you watch the spectre showcase series, I have 6k life (double cluster sets). So it is possible to play.

But I think best is 7k and single cluster set. Good damage and good tankiness. Don't forget to have endurance charges! I use small cluster with enduring composure. Some people like to using enduring cry. If you have some passive points, take both +1 endurance changes from passive tree!

Probably just being a big dumb, but why is vicious bite recommended and not used? I understand that the two Precise commanders comes out to 60/24, which is more than the Vicious, but I just don't understand why Vicious needs to be on the large

The passive tree is for cheap overshock jewel. And if you watch my spectre showcase series, I use overshock jewels.

VB jewels is definitely better! Crit chance becomes much better with higher %. Use it if you want the best (but it is expensive!). And take the notable as well :P

Can we use "Pure Spectre builds" for Slave Drivers or other spectres? Because you said

-"It designed for redemption sentries, and it will also work well with redemption knights"

New video on youtube!

PoE 3.11 - Spectre Showcase: Scinteel Synthete

Uses same POB as Scale of Esh.

Enjoy :D


And you can also vote for the spectres for next showcase! https://www.strawpoll.me/20680812

SO I'm level 92 and just made the jump to 1 cluster jewel. I've noticed my Animated Guardian in the Dying Breath setup keeps dying (T16 maps usually). I have level 20 gems (not 20 qual though) but dude keeps wiping. Are there any common traps as to why these guys die? I have a single jewel on my tree that has life regen. Does it usually take a couple to keep them upright?

AG's biggest problem is no sustain. Damage is so low so leech is no good.
Only regen will work, so you need to give it big regen from Mask of the Stitched Demon. It's a bit expensive if you buy it, but you can make it yourself in temple for about 40c (20 + 20). I made 3 already in league (and sell) :P

You can also take Indomitable Army to give it more life and immune to bleeding.

I don't disagree with you but I just don't understand how there is enough points to take Vicious bite on both Large Jewels. that is another 4 points we don't have, due to the position of the Vicious bite. The guide doesn't really specify what to change in order to incorporate the two notables or what to give up in order to get both of the notables. That was my question really, I just asked it poorly.

So, I am pretty sure it must have been asked and answered in the past few hundred posts, but:
1) is it worthwhile to shift from League start Slave Drivers to Pure Spectre Redemption Sentries?
2) without Bone Offering aren't we giving up a fair amount of tankiness?
3) i have a +1 chest but not 6L and don't have any other +1 gear, so am at 4 Spectres - still pretty pricey to get boot, ammy and wand +1's
4) do you need to do clusters in order for Pure Spectre to be and feel better than League start?
5) for Pure Spectre/RS why left hand for Proxy ring? wouldn't we want the chilled from the skitters since this is a "cold build"?
6) if I don't run AG (hate re-gearing when they die), what would I replace it with? (Again, in Pure Spectre build)

TIA

Redemption Sentry is not a good 'low level' spectre because it has low APS (about 1 attack per second!). So sometimes you will like 0 DPS. You need good level gear to make it feel good.

If you have problems with Slave Driver, I recommend try another lightning spell spectre. I made some videos for them:

About gear, you can make boots yourself with bound fossil. Or buy Bones of Ullr for 1c. Then you only need +1 wand or +1 amulet. Don't get two. I recommend amulet.

Pure Spectres is full DPS mode, but you can keep Mistress + Bone Offering actually. DPS will feel a little better than starter if you use no clusters. But I recommend 1 cluster set to get best balance of damage and tanky.

Skitterbot chill is just a 10% slow, so you can get rid of it I think. But if you prefer more defense, you can change right to other side and put Temp Chains! It will stack with chill actually :D

I like Stone Golem instead of AG.

I see!

If you look at example tree I path through 6-passive medium jewel! So actually there is 4 extra passives to get (but you need 5-passive medium).

Another place to respec is Enduring Bond. It is 4 passive points.
