What's the best spectre for bossing (Sirus/Conquerors mainly)?

And how can I modify my build for pure bossing? (Ignore the HH, I use it mostly for normal mapping)

Kay your builds are extremely well thought out and explained and quite cool to play. Thank you for all your hard work on this.

I have a question: I'm running Baranite Preacher specters and although they're pretty cool and feel well it seems to me that they're not very powerful in heists. I have not yet invested money in either awakened gems or in cluster jewels so that might be a reason. But often enough I find that the specters need 5-10 seconds to kill unique heist mobs ( lvl 83 contracts ) or rare powerful heist mobs.

Could you please let me know what kind of specters you think are best for heists ? Or do you think that Baranite Preachers are good enough but I need to invest in gems and cluster jewels?

Thanks a lot and again thank you.

I love Baranite Preacher in Heist. You can stand them in front a door and they will clear the monsters when the door opens. But most spectre will feel slow because GGG has made heist monsters really tanky. 600-700% life mod and minibosses around 1400%.

Highly recommend cluster jewels. each set will give about 40% more dps. 8-passive large is about 120-130c. Medium is about 30-40c.

Which medium cluster cost 30-40c? the aura cluster are pretty expensive atm.

Is it normal for the pure SO build with one cluster jewel set to not deal enough dps to Catarina? I barely did 25% after 3 portals. I don't have the awakened gems and the swap weapons set but besides that I pretty much have it completed.

It should work, I carried Catarina for a friend with Phys SO. The tricky part is spectre needs to be in medium range for shotgun effect, and necro needs to be in nearby range for pride and blood stance.

It was my bad, I didn't realise she had invulnerable phases, ended up screwing up :P should've informed about the fight beforehand. The build is strong otherwise, went through everything the game throwed at me with ease, just gotta prepare for those bosses.

Thanks for the great guide. Finally got my heist league done.

Hi, Please tell me which gems will be better for a bundle in this helmet?

Is it optimal to use GMP because it cuts damage? I counted in slow motion video GMP shoots 12 projectile, and MP 9 projectiles. But they fly closer to the middle and do not fly past the boss.


How are you doing with blight t16 maps?

i am level 95 now and have 5.6k life, should i put Unending Hunger instead of Anatomical knowledge?? how much of a difference would it make?

my health after remove the last will be around 5.4k which is okaish still

Also which one should i get first bottled faith or Aw Spell Echo?

Is it worth getting the effect of offering on chest?

Don't remove Anatomical knowledge. I would remove the ghastly eye jewel on the left side of your tree just above Devotion and put Unending Hunger there. Just my 2 cents.

If someone interested how the projectiles behave.

I finished with the tests of how projectiles fly, as a result we get:
1. 12 and 8 projectiles the difference between large and small stones
2. There is no difference between gmp and volley, but greater volley cuts 5% less damage than GMP is more profitable to put it

Hi everyone, special choice on my side, I play a Templar Necro which actually works quite well, but I'm stagnating at 5M dps (1M x 5 spectra). I would like to increase my dps but I do not know what to change, I know that I could add Awakening Spell Echo but the price seems a bit expensive to me (40ex), I would also have to buy a Devouring Diadem with the enchantment + 40% spectra damage but still the same very expensive (70ex) suddenly I'm a little lost on the priority I have to do on my next purchase, saved to buy the awakening gem that I miss? The helmet with enchant? changes in the talent tree and put a 2nd large Jewell? Another solution would be welcome, I am open to any suggestion of modification of my stuff, geme or others .. I also specify that I play with the slave driver, I have tested the other spectrum such as baranite preacher and syndicate operative but didn't like and didn't have as many dps as with my slave driver.

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.

Thanks so much for the reply mittens, I will check out the golemancer suggestion. Realistically I will be playing pretty casually so min/maxxing will probably be more on the min side.

Thanks again!
