Hmmm, comments on this reddit thread (see link below) seem to think Spectre's all are all but dead now after this Necro Aegis change. I guess I was too optimistic, and was wrong about this build being good for this league...

I guess I was too optimistic, and was wrong about this build being good for this league? Darn It! oh well, and it was so much fun...., but it had survived for quite awhile, so it was definitely good while it lasted, and I thank Kayella for putting it together, but it looks like I may have to move on to something else unfortunately. The sucky part is, I know I will never find a guide as good as this one, no matter how good the build is.... RIP :(

Would still be interested however to hear Kayella's take on this.

Considering starting this one as well.

Have been playing around in PoB, turning it into a LL Summoner for more end game survivability.
Seems to be working. Necro based I get similar DPS numbers (~1M DPS / Spectre) for similar jewels/gear. Likely feW more expensive items (Shavs', Vertex) but with 82% elemental resistances, more ES and more high end scaling for more ES.
Will have a look turning it into a guardian next, with all that reservation might make more sense.

The only thing that worry me, that with legion frozen mobs minions would act like full derp and not actually freeing as much as possible mobs.
What do you think guys?

Frost Sentinels Crit Version
updated April/2019 (new 1080p videos + more in-depth explanations)

Spoiler

What’s the point of this version?

Spoiler

This version excels in quick mapping, while still maintaining good single target DPS. The goal is to have as much clear speed as possible and still be able to do Uber Elder deathless and effortlessly.
Shaper DPS: 1.1M per Frost Sentinel
(sustained damage, no temporary buffs like flasks, vaal skills or Focus)

Frost Sentinels vs Cannibal Fire-Eaters?

Spoiler

They are very different and serve different purposes. Fire-Eaters have the strongest DPS of all spectres, but only cast their spells when they are in melee range of the enemy. “Regular” projectile based spectres in this aspect have a much better behavior. This is even more important when we want to maximize fast mapping

Frost Sentinels vs Solar Guards / Flame Sentinels / Goatman fire-raiser?

Spoiler

Frost Sentinels have the following advantages:
7% base crit chance
No damage penalty for extra projectile spells (unlike Flame Sentinels)
Freezing/shattering enemies
No low damage/long animation cooldown skill like solar guards’s beam
Great AI/behavior
They benefit from Hatred aura and Frost Bomb

Note: I edited my shield to include bonuses not calculated by PoB, such as Animated guardian gear, Zealotry Watcher's Eye and the extra crit chance against enemies on consecrated ground.

Skill Tree

Spoiler

http://poeurl.com/cncr
It’s a bit different but follows the same principle of trying to get life and jewel sockets. We also need mana reservation nodes because we can’t use a “–mana cost of skills” amulet.
Mistress of Sacrifice is used instead of Puppet Master, for more movement/cast speed.

Gear

Spoiler

The gear is pretty much the same as the original guide, with a few notes:
Aul’s amulet is a great way to fit a third aura into the build (Hatred)
Victario’s Charity + Necromantic Aegis is mandatory, because we must have a way to maintain Power charges while mapping.

Gem Links

Spoiler

Single target setup: Raise spectre / Minion damage / Increased Crit multiplier / Spell echo / Power charge on critical / Hypothermia
This setup is optimal, there really isn’t much variation there
Note: Power charge on critical is needed because Victario’s charity only generates power charges on kill, and so is not reliable for prolonged boss fights.

Mapping setup:
Here things get interesting. There are many different combinations of gems, depending on preference, availability of white sockets and the amount of lag your computer can take.
Recomended (requires a white socket): Raise spectre / Minion damage / Increased Crit multiplier / Summon phantasm on kill / Pierce / Greater multiple projectile

Alternative gems for mapping: Spell echo (really laggy with GMP), Hypothermia, Bonechill, increased critical strikes. Find what works best for you.

So, will Rathpith Globe works or it changed already? I just trying to choose between build with Rathpith Globe or with Glancing Blows.

"

Just to clarify, the stat description of the mods on Rathpith on the announcement page are a bit out of date. The Spell/Spell Crit specify that they scale off "Player Life", rather than simply just "Life".
