I would like to try this pure spectre build but I have one concern, how is survivability? Last league and this league start I use aura stacking carrison golem, 90% res+8kES+1k regen basically make that build unkillable 99% of the time. So would this build has a somewhat decent defence? Like not randomly one shotted by bosses or tougher enemy

Damn, i kinda wanna try this build because it's so well made and full of detailed information. But, what i would like to know if somebody could answer, like, the spectres part of the guide, you need to have multiple gem setups to use certain spectres? Like, i'm gonna need multiple gear setups for each spectre + i need to find them every time?

You only use one type of spectre. So find the one you like or one that's strong and use that gem setup. If they die you do need to find them however most are easy to find and if you lose them in maps you can raise them in your hideout.

Thanks.

Hi guys, what is the best way to get a +1specter chest in ssf? stay at depth 50+ going sideways , or delve deeper for better nodes? cause the ilvl requierement is only 60 for the +1 specter to appear, but ive been told that chest with +1 dont drop till 150+ depth.. any help would be really appreciated! thanks :)

Edit: just got a +1skeleton chest drop, which is the same ilvl req as specter, sat depth 65. so i guess its possible to get them there.

I'm playing on Standard with trading and i would like to use the Spectres+Spiders because fast mapping is cool. But i hate cluster jewels because they are usually ridiculously expensive and make the skill tree more confusing. Do i follow the tree of the Spectres+Spiders or the SSF/Starter League? If i follow the SSF/Starte League skill tree, will it ruin the Spectres+Spiders build? Also, do i really need to gamble (aka "craft") to be able to make the build work at T16 maps and such?

Hi new player here, So i start with base build and get all the items required for base build then transit to Syndicate Operative build ? What spectre do i use for base build ?

is using lightning penetration instead of predator a good option? (for slave driver)

Alright did some more tinkering with the CI/ES build, and this is where I am at now.

Still in need of a decent +1 specters ES chest, just aren't that many floating around with 500+ ES right now unless I have 20 ex..

Next on the list is a decent ES ring with frostbite on hit, and then will be able to fit in an AG into the helm.

Yes start with base build. then transition when you have the gear needed.
In regards to what spectres to use, section 7 on page 1 lists the options you can go for.

Slave drivers from ACT 5, is one of the easier to get, that is what i am using with zombies for meatshields while i gather currency

yo, if useing artless asassin how good is the mirror tier helmet thingy? also when useing such a helm or similar, how do we get our auras still up? enlighten 4 only reduces mana reservation by 12% instead of the 20% from the unique helmet, would be nice to know since i gathered quite alot of currency and thinking of trying to craft such a helmet if it is worth it and if the two auras are save to keep

have to edit: how in general could i improve my damage/survivability? asking mainly duo to me haveing way lower dps than what is shown in videos/pob and i have pretty decent gear i guess

Hello, thanks for the well-written guide! I am planning on running my first SSF Minion build, and I was wondering: do you have a recommendation for a new player starting a fresh SSF character, as far as build variations?

I am sort of leaning towards "as many minions as possible" but I want to get the most bang for my buck.

Any thanks again. Any advice for new SSF player would be greatly appreciated!

I've been played SSF spectres necro and carrion golems elementalist this league.
Despite the much more popular spectres necro on POE.ninja, I believe Carrion golemancer is better.

I've tried many spectes and experimenting with them can be fun but getting the +1 weapon, +1 boots is hard and 6L +1 spectres chest very very hard on SSF. Also getting unendying hunger and the juju amulet in SSF can be tricky as well.

Tankinest-The necro has good block from bone offering but the golemancer has good regen and phys reduction from stone/chaos golems

There are plenty golemancer builds/guides in this forum

You can start with zombies, add carnage and host chieftains and then golems as well. Both builds are strong levelers/league starters.

Overall the spectres necro need a lot more specialized gear to get to end game and is not worth it unless you plan to put a LOT of time farming/crafting.
