Kay's Summoner Memorial Page | New Guide is linked inside!

As far I understood, the Syndicate Operatives do phys damage, so wouldn't a phys build be viable, using impale instead of converting the damage to elemental? I know we would lose the EE damage boost, but I think it would still be more than enough damage do map and bosses. Has anyone tried it?

Would this cluster jewel be better than the Medium one listed in Kay's build? Should you even scale crit with Syndicate Operatives?

they are BIS. same goes for the large jewels, get vicious bite and renewal. look at my profile if you wanna see which clusters to get. small ones can be anything related to health (note that for BIS large clusters you need ones with triple passives and you ignore the third passive, just for pathing options. you save 2 points per large cluster over the ones i have but theyre like triple the price)

Made a quick video showing Frost Auto-Scouts in a T16 map. My gear is trash, but you can see how their abilities work. Think they show a lot of promise for scaling the pure cold damage, and the mortar skill is just amazing at clearing.

I. Frostbomb works in AOE, no need to pinpoint boss.

II. Frost Auto-Scouts attacks looks like Redemption Sentry attacks - Projectiles and Barrage.
Projectile attacks are faster than RS. Barrage attack faster and cooldown lower.
But they use SPELL tag, not ATTACK tag. So consider them as Frost Sentinels.
Their damage type is 100% Cold damage.

Recommended setup RS-Minion Damage-Spell Echo-GMP-Ele Focus\Predator-Controlled Destruction. 5B 1G.

Bro did you try Auto-Enforcer? I think they have more damage against bosses

Artless Assassin with replica grip of the council?

Damn they seem very nice. Would like to hear more about them

Can some spectre expert take a look at the Ashblessed Wardens (https://poedb.tw/us/Ashblessed_Warden) and tell me what I should link with them? They are the guys that do the red mini Sirus lazers and look super cool. I threw in faster casting, maybe something to increase the aoe? I'm new to spectres as a whole but not PoE so I'm not sure how to figure out how their skills can scale best.

Since their dmg is flat fire, I swapped armageddon brand -> stormb brand + flammability and convert zombies to fire dmg linked with combustion.

is there a reason almost noone is going for the CI variant of the build?
on poe.ninja there are 99% of spectre builds life based.
i remember a few leagues ago there was about 50 / 50 life / ES necros

What's everyone putting on their AG for Syndicate Operatives?

They attack pretty fast and have decent range
Better raw damage than most specs
Simple gem links (cold based), and gearing isn't wonky requiring special uniques
Swapping from clear to boss mode is just changing GMP for Slower Projectiles, or Cold Pen, or in most cases don't even bother.
The mortar ability overlaps with GMP for insta delete on packs.
Decent life, and AI.

I'd suggest these for people who don't like the Syndicates AI, or people who miss how RS was pre-nerf.
