Hey everyone :) Firstly, thanks Kay for the time to create this build guide (both the forum post and the videos). I have been looking at this build as I wanted to convert my summoner. I am looking at the spectre+spider variant. I have a Triad Grip glove with 4 white sockets that convert 100% of minion physical damage to chaos and I would like to use it. Question is what would be the best spectre to use with it? From what I read all the recommended spectres do at least part of their damage as elemental. Not sure if this type of damage gets converted (based on the glove description, I assume not since it only converts physical damage). If elemental damage is not converted to chaos, by the gloves, is there any other good spectre that deals pure physical? Or just a good spectre that can work very well with the gloves?


Warlord influence spectres are pure phys. So Arena Master and Arena Champion. Try a mix of them and see if you like it.

Also you might want to change one spider gem to withering touch. The debuff will stack up really quickly.

How can i get my block chance higher? Im using V2 of Spectres and spiders with glancing blows but it only takes my atk block to around 30% and spell block to like 16% not sure how to get this higher. Bone offering only effects minions.

So I figured this out for anyone else that is wondering about this. Mistress of sacrifice allows offerings to effect you as well so bone offering will increase your block chance.

Hi Kay, thank you very much for your time. I have a very simple question and I feel like a real noob asking this.

I'm playing specters-spiders build, but I'm reeeallly confused on how you start spawning the spiders first time.

In your guide you say "Arma Brand" after the specters freeze the mobs. What is the skill? Is it the totem or the curse? or none of them?

Help please and thank you for your awsome build!

Bye!


Anything that does damage.

If you use the version 2 build, you can just run around with your spectres. There is trigger Blade Vortex will kill monsters and spiders will pop up.

Version 1 of the build isa little trickier to start because sometimes desecrate doesn't kill (don't know why).

Thanks! :) Indeed found this info as well in the video guide comments :)

Already using Withering Touch in the zombies link, will keep using it when linking these spectres and will have a look how they woudl work on spider link :)

Spiders are currently using Damage on Full Life - Minion Damage - Minion Phys Damage (afaik Damage on Full Life works with spiders)

What is good looking armor that i can use Skin transfer on for a witch to look nice. I would like to go for the dark witch vibe but not over the top. Got a few skin transfers i would like to use. Body and Head.


Nothing really like dark witch in poe. Maybe Cloak of Tawm'r Isle?

I use MTX for my necro.

btw rotting legion artwork looks awesome, but 3rd model is bad.

Forgot to thank you for the reply, going Mistress with Bone offering and Glancing blows really helped quite a bit.

Love your enthusiasm in your videos and how detailed they are. One of the best builds i have tried in any league so far, with the Harvest crafting i have been able to make some good gear for Spextres without having to spend tons of Exalts. Did also help a little that i hit 40% Spextre damage on my last lab run before mapping :)


You're welcome!

I made mistake for thinking to show the endgame glass cannon style. 3.12 will be different of course!

You're so lucky with spectre enchant. I only see it once in my life :)

How do I decide between crit and non-crit cluster jewel setup? I assumed crit is better and spent a small fortune crafting a large + 2 mediums, but my final crit effect mod is like 8%. And changing the 2-cluster PoB to crit jewels doesn't really change DpS at all.

Also, what's the point of Overshock? Does it improve Skitterbots' shock aura? PoB shows it has no effect on DpS (or anything at all).


Crit is more, but you must go all crit and also necro aegis and +2 power charge shield. Basicaly stack crit crit crit. But to be honest I don't think it is worth the currency. Even with cheap overshock+vengeful cluster you can kill Mino (32M HP) in 1-2s.

Another player suggested it and we tested it in the early league. It's maybe 80-90% of crit build and 20% cost. I think it's better to save money and upgrade something else!

POB doesn't automatically calculate skitterbot shock at all. you need to add it manually.

I had some useful cluster jewels drop today, so thought I would give them a go.

After some time in the garden using up a bunch of stored crafts, I ended up with a large (8 passive) with Overshock and Vengeful Commander, and two mediums (4 passive and 5 passive) each with First among Equals and VC.

As much as it goes against my inherent laziness, I had to lose my beloved second Profane Proxy, so that the skitters would apply Shock so as to take advantage of these jewels.

After making (quite) a few adjustments to the tree to reach the clusters, my POB minion DPS went from 450k to 1.2M - that is huge, I do notice things dying quite a bit quicker too!

I had to lose quite a few minion life nodes, but they don't seem any squishier :)


Yeah it's a big difference actually!

The reason why original build doesn't have clusters is because early league version was hard to craft, but GGG moved jewel socket to implicit so cluster is actually not so bad.

In 3.12, I will include cluster from beginning!

They have changed it. when you char leave you corpse go to no matter of the map device. what is the requirement for a a pvp char to enable on your account. There is no more leo. So just a lvl 28 char?


My friend tested it on her new account. She was able to make level 28 pvp character no problem. She didn't do anything like play pvp or find a special NPC. Just made it from character screen.

i'm about to finish base build, which should i choose next?
which is better? cost higher?
pure spectre or spider?

which is your recommendation?

pure spectre for boss killing?
spider for mapping?


I recommend S&S. Most of the game is mapping anyway and S&S has tanky and sustain so you will level up easily. Boss DPS is lower so you need to know boss mechanics.

PS has a lot of options though. Most people play Redemption Sentry because it is famous now, but actually there are better spectres for different things too!

I play S&S in league.
