Hello smazh8,

i would follow the recommendations in the videos. But it is not so important as every version of gems is working fine for the acts. The gems from the videos are the most optimized ones.
Kay for sure will clear the inconsistencies some day.
Does the Drox Arena Master buff (20% increased Attack cast and movement speed) apply to your other minions or is it just the player?

I wanted to run it with 4 SO's during Heists for more movement speed but unsure if its worth it if the buff doesn't apply to minions as well
Hey, I'm playing the pure spectres build and wondering where does the tankiness from? I'm getting one shotted a lot when bosses manage to touch me

yes I die the same way. map clearing is really great but bosses are terrible, I constantly die in one skills.

Can anyone help with this? Because I'm really bored... and my items are really good. Only my gems are not awakened.

The necros who play successfully with this build simply don't get hit by endgame bosses.

A lot of the key items in this build have no max life on them. Assuming a big single boss hit nails you, especially if it gets through your 75% block rate, and you don't have granite and basalt both up, you're going down.

Consider the pure phys version of her build - it can work with rares in almost every slot, so you can crank up your life another 1000 or more.

Can I use Inc Minion Dmg on Arakaali's instead of Inc Speed? Is the clear going to be affected much?

Yes, you can use it.
Yes, clear will be affected.

The philosophy behind this variant is that the Spiders clear the trash while the spectres single-target rares and bosses. With Minion Speed and Melee Splash, the spiders zip around one-shotting white packs and chowing down on blue packs within a second.
Why does Kay get so much strength? Is it necessary?
I managed to 4W my Triad Grips in a private league (SSF basically). The damage doesn't seem all that great with SO spectres, is there a better option to run chaos convert spectres?

Spoiler


There are a number of ways to build spectres and you picked one of the versions that focuses on damage over survivability.

First of all you are using the 2 cluster jewel version of the build. You can pretty much just drop the cluster jewels and pick up life nodes instead. This gets you about 60% more life from your tree.

You can also make a number of itemization changes to pick up more life and effective life.

Suggestions
* First, you should pick up a level 21 spectre gem so that you can drop a few +1 gem level items without dropping below 25.

* Then you can take boots with life

* You can also trade your amulet for a Jinxed Juju. This effectively gives you 10% more life. It's really efficient.

* You can also take hextouch with curse on hit and drop the Profane Proxy for something with more life. (I suggest dropping holy flame totem for links)

* You can drop the Devouring Diadem and replace the lost life regen with a Blood of the Karui flask. Alternatively, if you can get high chaos resistance you can use The Forbidden Taste for full life instant healing. You can get a -cold res helm to get some damage back.

* If you change the craft on your body armor from %life to %life as ES that will give you some buffer room for large hits.


Here is a PoB with most of the suggested changes. https://pastebin.com/LHC4GvVD

It has 132k dps and 9509.5 EHP vs your current build which has 184k dps and 6110 EHP. A lot of boss attacks don't occur that often and are effectively EHP checks. This much EHP will let you tank through any attacks that are designed to be survivable. Assuming good execution you should be able to do any boss deathless.

Misc
I did not include +1 spectre boots in my pastebin so if you get ones with +1 and life or use your current ones you will have ~10% more damage. I also bumped your Raise Spectre gem up to level 21 when comparing the DPS so it's a fairer comparison.

My calcs did not include any buffs from your Animated Guardian. If you have fortify from Kingsmaker then you should have x1.2 EHP.
