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

Dear exiles, I would like to ask you for help. Im currently running Pure spectre build and around map tier 13-14 I hit the wall.

Here is my POB: https://pastebin.com/hqNVEE0A

Can someone experienced check where i should focus now?

Known issues:
only 4 spectres - have body armor with +1 but unlucky with linking. Would be better 5 spectres on 5l or 4 spectres on 6l?

Wand can be better - only +12 minion dmg.

Sometimes when im fighting tough enemies i recognize they are "ressist Cold" even im using brand. I did not find anywhere on my gear any other source what can proc EE.

Thank you for help.
I tried several of these builds. I started with the starter build. Then I migrated to the Syndicate ops specter build. I found at level 92 I had a hard time getting much further yes i had all 5 spectres. Then I switched to the Skelemancer (Mages) with 4 Syndicate Ops, OMG!!! I am rolling! Thanks a Ton.


A few observations:
Trying to get a rare chest that is all strength based (Astral Plate) for the socketed Intelligence and Active Gems is next to impossible. Yes it can be done but OMG what a huge investment and I mean HUGE! As well as getting something with 4 blue and 2 colorless. What I did was to buy some cheap like 25-30C, 6 sockets (I rolled the links with 150 orbs of fusings) blue with + active socketed gem and then got a necklace with the + to all Intelligence gems. This got me where I needed to be to have the max number of skeletons. Now also what I did was do the same thing and got one that had 4 blue and 2 green ( this one took longer, I forgot to max quality it first - this one took 270 orbs of fusing). ATM I do swap the items out when I am mapping as opposed to bosses but my initial investment is way less.

TLDR: LOVING THE SKELEMANCER (Mages)!!!

Are you using both mages and operatives for clear? why not use the other support spectres?

Also, when Do I make the helmet swap? Diadem for the elder bone helmet

Even if you want to do the specter build. Lvl like it says in the act 1-10 levling guide?
When levelling through Acts 3-10, what spectres should I use? Can you please make a note in your levelling guide (like Switch to XXX spectre)?

Support Spectres for Skeleton Mages are mediocre at best, personally I would use a Elder Bone Helmet with +3 Minion Life/Hypothermia with either Frost Auto Scouts or Crabbies.

Yes, I am using mages and syndicate operatives for clear. I choose that because I felt they survived better and synergy wise they worked with the mages as a ranged DPS. Also, my apes (forget name, but the 2 different ones that gave the buffs if you had frenzy and the other thing) died a lot.

I literally spent a week on level 92 with rather decent gear, 3 steps forward 2 steps back xp wise. Once I switched I am almost halfway through 93 in a couple of days. (your miles may very depending on your play time.)

I got the helmet as soon as I could. I always upgrade anything as soon as I have the funds. Remember everything is currency. You just gotta spend a little time on the official POE Trade site to get it sold. eg.. as soon as I can I upgrade my gems to the level 20, Qual 23% corrupted versions. as well I work on resists cap. I am almost capped now on chaos, and have been on all the others.

I am level 93 clearing almost all rare T16 maps, except ones with reflect. I may get a chest amour that has 100% reflect prot. I had one but re-rolled the stats for something else.

Hey,

Please can anyone see what can i improve?



Hello guys, I have this Elegant Hubris jewel with double Slum Lord nodes. The points circled in red are the ones that are being changed. It would cost a total of 4 points to get 160% increased minion damage, and I would have to respec the current points since all the other nodes are trash or not worth taking. Checking in pob, that would be a massive dps improvement (from 314k each to 366k each), I would have to fix my intelligence and most important I would lose around 300 life even respeccing points (from 4929 to 4614). Do you think it is worth using?
