Hi Kay, hi everybody!

I'm getting back on POE, i haven't played since after Dominus update, when there was only 3 acts with 3 difficulty.
There is so many changes! I'm glad to see summoners seems to be better at end game than before.

I'm following your build, current around lvl 50 and just finished act 5.
Until now, i followed the "league start" passive tree and gems

I want to try the SRS build, because they are fun to play and also because i loved to play with Undying Evangelist specters few years ago!

So here is my questions, sorry, there is plenty, and really noobish ones! :D
in order to make the SRS build,

1. Can i follow the passive tree right now, or do i need to follow the league start until some level, and switch then?

2. If i can follow the passive tree right now, what is the order to follow?

3. If i understand correctly, at your level EE is triggered by your skittersbots, with the special ring. At my level and with my shitty gear, i need to use a spell manually? What spell do you recommand?

4. For the gems, right now i'm using. What do i keep, what do i need?

SRS - Unleash - Infernal Legion - Minion Damage -> Do i switch Infernal Legion and Minion Damage for Elem Focus & Fire Penetration, or do i need to wait for a good helmet first?

Summon Skitterbots - Elem Focus - Infernal Legion
HFT - Combustion - Summon Phantasm

Raise Zombie - Summon Stone golem - Meat Shield - Minion Damage
Here i may have a 5L "soon", what would be the links then? Raise Zombie - Summon Stone golem - Elem Army - Combustion - Added Fire Damage?

Raise Spectre - Increase duration - Increase AOE - Meat Shield

5. Do i still need to play with vitality and HFT until i got the good gear?
6. If yes, do i stop leveling vitality at some point?

Hey guys, why do we use blade vortex and armageddon brand in the spectre build?

hey guys can someone help me im at a loss im playing primal crushclaws i think i have really decent gear but somehow there is no dmg can someone check out what i made wrong??? i know i i dont have AG yet and my gems arent 20/20 but i think its still to less...
here is my PoB

Hey guys,what you think about this ring and use instead Profane Proxy?

CWDT triggers at a certain amount of health lost. At level 1, this value is 528, meaning it will trigger after you lose 528 health. Kay is recommending you stop levelling this gem when it gets to around 20% of your max total health. So, if you have 5000 health, you want CWDT at around level 7, because it triggers at 1003 health lost at level 7.

Has anyone tested these builds on 100% Delirious T16 maps in 3.13 yet?
I'm curious which build works best, so I know what gear to save up for.

EDIT - I found one possible issue. You have Conductivity socketed in Profane Proxy. You want Frostbite socketed, so your skitterbot applies negative cold resist, since your crabbies do phys/cold damage, not lightning. The EE keystone will also apply negative cold resists when you cast Storm/Arma Brand. The negative cold resist from EE and Frostbite both stack to increase cold damage.

Can you be more specific on the problem?
Are the crabbies doing ZERO damage, or do you just feel like the damage is too low? And what content are basing this judgement on? Mapping? Bosses? Sirius A8? T16 100% delirious?

Note that crabbies are more tanky than DPS. They are good for bosses, but only average for mapping.

I am running Baranite Preacher and feeling pretty tanky... Once I got mistress of sacrifice with a life on block shield paired with bone offering I am clearing juiced T16 maps without having to worry about much. Only time I have lost my spectres this whole league was on a super juiced t16 and the beyond guy with soul eater wrecked them. I still have a ton of optimization left and my res is barely capped.
