Kay's Summoner Memorial Page | New Guide is linked inside!

Thanks for your response Kay!

One more question.

The guide says to use 'Volley' But wouldn't Greater Volley or GMP be a better choice?

Hey Kay,
what do you think about Artless Assassin?

It's not bad...

Good: Survivability and damage

Explosive Arrow is a problem though. It has a timer so you need to wait for explosion. And Pierce support is useful for clearing but then EA will shoot through monsters so you don't get the explosion. :P

Another problem is different attack when monsters in melee range (low damage aoe).

I am sorry if this has been discussed, but has the spectre bank method been patched? I am having a lot of trouble raising the spectre with my low level pvp upon relogging. She is simply raising a skeleton.

Thank you so much for you guide by the way.

Seems like hideout is time out before you rejoin.

Open a map with your main character first, then log on bank. The map will keep hiedout instance alive.

Hi Kay!

I playing with Fas and which ascendancy points for it??

Basically the same build as Pure Spectres: Crabbies. Just change 6link.

Raise Spectre, spell echo, minion damage, predator, ele focus. 6th gem is controlled destruction/GMP (which socket) or hypo/gmp (green socket)

chill comes from skitterbot for hypo.

This was annoying to craft -.- but +1 was basically a big huge DPS increase

and +3 points saved so pretty good

Nice! I'm still trying to recraft my stabilising sceptre but run out of fear essence.

I changed my sceptre to added fire to make skele stronger. Also use from dust to summon 8 skeles at once.




Also change to Darkness Enthroned for 61% increased damage:




Another change is 6-link armour with SO.

Mapping is much faster now, but less protection (no shields).

I went to the Sirus A8 with SO using Empower (4), in the beginning everything was fine but in the last phase they started to die again. As a result, when I had one portal left, I changed them to crabs and killed it in a few seconds.
I do not know how to kill Sirus with SO. I think I will change it on maps and bosses.

SO's life is a bit too low nowadays. They're basically best for mapping.

If you really want to use SO, you need to change to +3 helmet build.

What are the strongest spectres atm, I am stuck between crabbies and SO. Not enough info it seems to sway me to either side.

I think this is basically it. Crabbie is good for bossing, SO good for mapping.

We use Blade Vortex in a Trigger Wand + Fire/Lightning Dmg to spells to aply EE.

That would mean I should run through the packs to be in range for BV.

My Idea would be instead of "BV" I would use "Frost Bomb" with "Avatar of Fire" and a Brand spell for distance curse on hit and EE.

The -25% cold resis would be a nice dmg boost.

The idea for BV trigger is you stay moving all the time. Monsters have attack time or the projectile needs to fly to you. Or after death explosion effects... and volatile fireball from nemesis. So BV trigger lets you keep moving and apply EE + Curse.

Also when you do ritual, you can run around the edge of circle and don't stop. It will make ritual much safer than stand still to cast something.

If you use pure spectres build, I think there is also arma brand in shield? You can swap to frost bomb if you like :)

Thanks a lot for the guide.

I have a noob question regarding the SRS bomber.
I have my SRS on my mouse right click.
Do you hold the mouse button to constantly summon the SRS or do you summon some until they blow ???

TY

I like to use unleash because it's not safe to stand still in POE. So run a little and cast, run a little and cast.

Hi Kay, thank you very much for your build !

I had a lot of fun with spiders last league, and I am now on the "full spectres" build with syndicate operative and one cluster jewel. It's great so far, thank you very much for you work.

I have a question on it : I'm only level 93, what nodes should I skip on the tree until level 100 ?
I have a hard time choosing between them, what could you recommand ?

Thank you again for all your work !

I recommend skip one side of medium cluster. That's about 7 or 8 points actually.

Hey Kay! I'm doing your minion bomber build and so far im enjoying it!
I just made this helmet

and i was wondering if there is anything i can do to improve it? How do i get increased elemental damage to socketed gems to it? Or is it better with crit?

Another question is how do i improve the gear for endgame :D?

Wow interesting helmet!

Elemental Damage to gems is essence craft. So you need to start with it actually. The basic way is spam horror essence or use enchanted fossil craft. Can't use harvest to add/remove. :(

You can try add/remove fire and get burning damage support. Then change ele focus to predator. This will give you same single hit damage and ignite dot as well!

Oh you need to change your amulet!! You have +10% chaos res, but actually you need minus chaos. SRS will take much longer time to explode +10% chaos (maybe 4 or 5s). Should be like this:

You can change the belt to this. 75% more effect for jewels so you get about 60% increased damage.


Don't forget seal mender large jewels!
