My issue is that sometimes they seem to follow me too much and stop attacking the boss. Should I stay closer? Also, some bosses will just push into their faces, and then some of them will start meleeing. So I'll move away, convocation, but then the boss will run up into their faces again. I die to conquerors (especially al hezimin) way more often than I'd like just because it feels like the boss fight is a year long. Failed eradicator yesterday too because my hair was turning grey waiting for him to die.





Im usually positionning myself that way. Dont know if its the BEST distance to be but it works out pretty well to me. Blue square as spectres, Red as Bosses.
Killed Baran in 4sec, T14Map AW4 that way with 4 specters / no clusters jewel etc..










Thanks for the tips. Just read another comment in this thread, having add x to y cold damage to spells on wand is bad, and I have that on my wand. Sounds like my ST is bad cause of that. I'll try and position myself at that distance as well as use AoF for now til I can get a better wand.

yesss

"Fixed a bug where Animated Guardians didn't lose their items when they died."
Noooo

You're missing Elemental Equilibrium... seems like you decided to omit it on purpose because you don't have a brand equipped to even proc it? That is a lot of single target DPS that you're missing... -50% res to a single target will be a very noticeable difference.

Also, if you're using SO's, you don't have to worry about their hp pool as much vs SD's. Get rid of the Spiritual Command and Sacrifice Clusters and spec into nodes like Sovereignty and jewel sockets. SO's scale extremely well with the Triad's Grip conversion + Hatred, so you will reach higher dps numbers by buffing aura effectiveness (which is why our medium clusters all have Vengeful Commander too).

Those jewel sockets that are 1-2 points away from your tree can also give you a big DPS boost. Find jewels with stats like "15-20% increased damage if you've used a minion skill recently" or just flat minion physical damage will give another reasonable boost in dps. You will need to get Mistress of Sacrifice + a wand with the trigger craft to have an easy 100% uptime of that bonus damage. Otherwise, manually cast bone offering till you get it.

After all that, see if you can fit an animate guardian setup. The cheap one listed in Kay's guide (Leer Cast, Bated Breath, etc.) will also give another decent damage boost to all your spectres. It's a very cheap setup, that works fairly well. But leave the AG till you've changed the other things mentioned above.

Thanks a lot for your great input!
I'm still not min-maxing and as you can see i still use Starter&SSF POB Tree
Was just saying that in similiar cases SOs do less single targe damage than SDs.

I'm not first-time player or first-time summoner, i just delete my characters every league to keep my nickname :)
Survivability is ok for me at least now, i don't even rush to high tier maps, collecting currency in heists for decent +spectre armor.

I have large 8-skills minion damage cluster with 2 gem sockets, just need to alt and regal it for best notables. What would the best ones? Renewal and Fiesting fiends?
Hi! Would anyone mind checking my profile?

Currently I have the build quite advanced, with double cluster and in t16 maps for example I think I have a good cleaning speed but not very fast, also I feel a little weak and I die relatively easily, I do not know if I am missing something. Finally in bosses I think I need a little dps to lower it at a good pace.

Greetings and thanks to all! It is a very fun build!
Firstly, I have to give props to Kay. Your guide is really well done. One of the best overall build guides I've seen.

I've just transitioned from the starter build to the Spectre build. Starting with 1 cluster setup and as I get more currency, will move on to the 2 cluster setup.

I was running 5 SO's before I respecced and I've definitely noticed the power increase. I've also noticed my character's survivability decrease. I'm L92 so had to sacrifice some life nodes to have enough points for the clusters. I'm, also using an 11-point large jewel so I can save some points by getting an 8-point. Re-rolling my jewels to get more life on them will help as well.

Struggling with dexterity at the moment. Had to pick a +30 Dex node and grab dex on a jewel. I can solve this with a new helmet but again, spent what currency I had left respeccing and buying/crafting clusters.

Went from around 6.7k HP with Lioneye's Remorse down to just over 6k after the respec. If I equip Victario's Lament, It's around 5.5k. While the frenzy/power charges are nice for SO's, it's not worth the one-shots to my character for the dps increase. Even without the frenzy/power charges, the map clear is really good.

Having fun though! So much to work on this build, feels like a never ending project.

Use PoB Community Fork instead of regular POB.
Anyone with any idea, my first league running spectre and I see the important part are completed. It's just that I am using a 5 link helmet instead of a 6 link body armor. I do more damage in a six link but I get 5 spectre instead of 4 with the helmet so it kind of balance out.

Just wondering why there is such a damage discrepancy between Kay Pob and mine.

if you want more damage then proper cluster jewels with precise and vengeful commander. drop helmet for a spectre helm. drop the trash profane proxy for curse on hit ring or gloves, use skitterbots with bonechill. add an auls if you can afford it for a free haste

How much hp do you have running the double cluster setup? I've been thinking of moving from 1 cluster to 2, but I don't like the idea of losing a big chunk of life, since those are the nodes I'd probably have to swap out for the extra cluster
