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.

Hi Kay,

Could you please explain why you choose Volly support Gem instead of GMP?
Any specific reason or ocncern?

Thanks.

GMP shoots out in a cone shape, where Volley is more of a parallel shape. This makes it more likely that more daggers from SO will hit a single target. Only exception would be upgrade to Awakened GMP if you got the exalts to burn to buy one, or Sirus loves you.

Thanks for your kind explaination, appraciate it.

So, i was doing some simulation on PoB, over haste and bonechill.

Bonechill adds roughly 16% increased damage taken.

But if u give away diadem, and lost haste, u end up doing less damage, even with the bonus from bone helmet, only thing u win are more level for the supp minion on helm.

Why people like so much bonechill?

For anyone wondering about crafting their own +2 wand. Here are some numbers from my crafting experience.

I did 59 attempts for +2 using the method on the first page with 4 fossils.

I hit +2 9 times, I think it's about 1 in 6 to hit it.

I hit 50+ min damage 3 times. Unfortunately my first 2 annuls failed.

So out of 59 tries, hit +2 9 times and failed the annul 5 times total.

I think I actually profited from the crafts though as I sold all the wands that hit +1 or +2 that I didn't want to keep.

I just switched over from Slave Drivers to Syndicate Operatives and I can't figure out the mana reservation.

From what I can tell you need to run precision, skitterbots and Hatred but I don't have the mana to run all 3. (plus carry Vaal Haste). What am I doing wrong here?

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?

help pls
