(Again, in Pure Spectre build) TIA " kayella wrote: 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: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL231BkuOCpOWreQf8p_S3RlTvjbNNSlXR 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. Kay, thx so much for the reply. Not only do you do a wonderful job in creating your builds and supporting them, you also take the time to respond! I assume that in your response above on gear, that I have a Lvl 21 Raise Spectre gem, otherwise I would need all three items in order to get to Lvl 25? Is the only reason that we use the Large Cluster with +12% Lightning is to be able to get Overshock on it? The RS Pure Spectre build doesn't use lightning damage, does it?

If you do have the enduring composure small cluster jewel, which would provide the most tankiness? 1. 3 Endurance charges + 4 life nodes (~4.5% each) 2. 4 Endurance charges + 2 life nodes (~5% each) 3. 5 endurance charges (Currently at about 5.8k life + 1k ES (MoM). Each node seems to add around 100 life) Thank you!	Posted by TKMaxx715#2603 on Jul 29, 2020, 1:31:28 PM Quote this Post

Each node seems to add around 100 life) Thank you! I experimented a little with this, and conclusion was that enduring composure is better than 2 life nodes of 4/5%. Also on the jewel there will be 1 +4% node, so you only loose 1 if you have the slot free for it that is. I also tried sacrificing a few more points to get 4 and 5 endurance charges with longer duration, that on the other hand did not feel as great. It depends a little bit on your play style, I was zooming through mobs and using a shaper shield with 5% HP on block along with Glancing Blows, witch seemed like a real good combo with enduring composure.

Absolutely loving this build! Ive uploaded a short video to showcase the build for others to see how fun this is, but also to ask if someone can help me. Around the one minute mark, I lose all my spiders, and then it seems to be quite delayed before they all spawn again. This happens sometimes once a map and I don't know what is causing it. Also my spectres or animate guardian somehow are getting killing blows even though there are no ignited enemies? (Due to the lack of fire damage) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ti3ahTVJ8DQ	Posted by Spider2k9#3231 on Jul 29, 2020, 2:11:46 PM Quote this Post
Hey guys my buddy built the S&S variant of the build and was wondering if I could ask a couple questions for him. 1. How do you guys keep spiders from despawning when zoning into the arena area for map bosses? 2. Is Writhing Jar a mandatory flask for mapping to summon spiders for bosses or is WJ just for endgame specialized area bosses? 3. Since the build has no defensive layer options like Bone Offering, how could he get tanker so he doesn't get one shot? He's following the PoB to the tee and is level 90 atm using the single cluster set up.	Posted by Agahan#2228 on Jul 29, 2020, 2:47:13 PM Quote this Post
I can't progress anymore. I'm stuck at lvl 93, don't have enough currency to buy more gear, and even if slow and steady wins the race, when I start getting one-shotted in a map (and I want to complete it) I can lose all XP in couple of minutes. It's been fun, after all. This is the best build I ever played in POE. :-) Maybe I just need a little break. :-) Az That's called pain. Get used to it.

Currently using Half Cluster Pure Spectre with Slave Drivers and already bored bcs my health is 4.5k right now. Before pure spectre had 5.5k and didn't die. Now im already bored. If you have enough currency change build Pure spectre with double cluster, if you don't please don't change your current build. Pure spectre is hard and for rich people. :(	Posted by StraightXEdgeX#0126 on Jul 29, 2020, 3:51:08 PM Banned Quote this Post

Pure spectre is hard and for rich people. :( Ive found it reasonably successful. I'm running two crit clusters and my gear is half decent. I'm even running necro aegis, so only around 54/54 block with bone and about 5200 hp. I suppose the only issue is upgrading gear at this point isn't exactly cheap and getting one shot isn't impossible. The damage is really nice though even with a scuffed shield. Edit: although I'm using redemption sentries, mainly because they are superior to slave drivers in almost every way.

I'm a newbie,sorry if my question was answered before,but there is around 11 hundred pages to read and I haven't got that much time ;) My question is should I level up my desecrate and spell cascade gems or keep them at level 1,because I've seen level 1 and level 20 gems in different profiles. PS great builds and fantastic OP,keep it up Kay	Posted by tom19720930#7007 on Jul 29, 2020, 6:54:08 PM Quote this Post

PS great builds and fantastic OP,keep it up Kay You can leave them at level 1. Leveling them up only adds to their damage, which is worthless for this build, so you might as well leave them at level 1 so that it takes less mana to cast. Well I guess you can level spell cascade if you want to and it won't use more mana but it doesn't matter really.	Posted by wasabexx#2515 on Jul 29, 2020, 7:33:19 PM Quote this Post
