For those of you that would like a more "tanky" build, I'm running a MoM version with energy shield, and with 6.6k life and 2.9k ES, that's 9.5K life. I also have armor on all of my gear, so I have 25% phys reduction before flasks. I also used to run bone offering (now that I'm at 97 and done leveling, I switched to flesh offering). With that setup, it was EASY to get to level 97, I literally never died in maps from 95-97.

The only problem is that you have to get ES on EVERYTHING, including jewels, and you have to take different passive skills (the ones that give extra ES). Having ES on everything isn't necessarily more expensive, but it can be a little difficult to actually FIND someone selling it. But usually the price is the same.

I consider my char a nice balance. The total cost was about 10ex, but I bought everything little by little so it wasn't so bad. I can do all content (except HoGM) with ease, there is plenty of DPS with great defenses and huge sustain with Feast of Flesh giving full life/ES every 5 secs.

Feel free to look at my profile if you want to see my gear and passives.

I am aiming for something similar with ES. One question- I've been thinking of switching out my (+offering) Astral plate for a Vaal regalia instead. Any reason you went for Astral instead of Vaal regalia in a MoM setup?


Yes, I wanted the extra armor. I stacked armor on all my gear. And also I already had enough ES, and any more ES wouldn't do any good. The way MoM + Eldritch Battery works, when you get hit it takes 70% from your HP and 30% from your shield. So once your ES is at a certain point, having more ES doesn't really help.

But if you aren't really stacking armor, than having the extra shield from a Vaal regalia is a fine alternative.
I changed build to Spider Queen and i love it. Main reason is i don't die often, but t3 blue seeds monster kill me about 2-3 shots :( it was shameful. was pure spectre my hp 4.8k and now 6k and enduring charges pretty helpful. If you die often change build to Spider Queen a.k.a S&S :)
How do i make the switch to:





I think i can afford to buy both of them now, but have no idea what gems do i swap and such.
If i switch the helm, what gonna happen to my auras? do i need to buy some other items before i make the switch?
Any advice will be appreciated.
I was thinking about possible switching to Baranite Thaumaturges(or preachers havent decided yet and still need to get correct sockets) and had the idea that spell cascade would work perfectly with their bomb skill, but i quess that wont work because of the "cannot support minion skills". ¨

Another thing i was wondering is linking Less Duration Support to the spectres, would that reduce the time it takes for the bombs to explode?

For BT or BP, you really need 5b1w. Just hope for vorici in research :P

Cascade doesn't work for BT as you know, but spell echo works. They will cast 2x 10 bombs. The bombs will overlap and can shotgun bosses.

Bomb is actually a chain of trigger, so less duration doesn't help.

EmptyActionSpellCrusaderMageguard -> AtlasCrusaderMageguardSpawnBombSpectre -> AtlasExileCrusaderMageguardBombExplodeSpectre





I just posted video for BT actually: https://youtu.be/Qkw4cCZ_Cv4

Vicious proj, Ele dmg, GMP/Ele Focus, Deathmark

The helmet gives +3, so you don't need +1 amulet. Change amulet to Aul's Uprising (haste or hatred) and you can still use 3 aura (maybe 4 if you squeeze!).

Yeah S&S v2 is really good. I think it's a better build than Pure Spectres actually! PS is kinda simple damage scaling, but S&S uses interesting game mechanic to work.

Thank for your great guide, Kay.

However, may I suggest that your pure spectre build should outright be switched to more defensive setup?


Yes, I think so.

I actually use Pure Spectre build in deli league and I could carry Simulacrum, so I thought it would be OK for 3.11. But I realised new summoner players need more defensive build and then show DPS build as upgrade path.

The forum guide is very complicated and easy to break! so I need time to change it.

But definitely 3.12 build will balance DPS/def better.

I was using the pure spectre build with RS. The dps was great but I was stuck at lvl93.
Changed to S&S and it's grat, managed to lvl up without problems. Had some issues with Sirius. Spectres started dying in the last phase. Made a misteke by using Death Mark so they kepe going back into maze. After that I still lost some spectres not sure why (maybe the got hit with the beam). But in the end the dps was enough to kill Sirius a8 without spiders.

Do we need to level up blade vortex in S&S build? Getting that additional dex is a bit annoying


Level up BV as much as you can. The extra level gives extra radius so it will help with EE while you running. But it isn't super important.

If spectres die in Sirus A8, I think it's bleed... maybe need to spec into Idomitable Army again :\

Youtube video update!

I posted a new spectre showcase for Baranite Thaumaturge.

PoE 3.11 - Spectre Showcase: Baranite Thaumaturge

Decent mapper and awesome boss deleter... if the boss doesn't walk out of the bomb zone :P

Use the same POB as Scale of Esh and Scinteel Synthete.
