I'm using slave drivers on a 5 link, but instead of conc effect i'm using increased aoe for clearing maps. I saw that on the gem section states that we should be using conc effect even for clearing maps. Doesnt the conc effect reduce the area of effect of the lightning whip skill from slave drivers? I saw some ppl saying that the "less aoe" line on the gem doesnt affect slave drivers, but some ppl say it does, I really need to know from the author of this guide or someone that does know about this. Thanks in advance!


Conc is supposed to be the 6th link, so if you're going 5L, you should use RS, Echo, Min dmg, Ele focus, FF. I've been told that FF doesn't seem to make SDs hit more, so Inc aoe will be better, you'll lose some damage though.

If you have some currency, I suggest buying a 6L int chest and using a greed essence. The SDs are your main damage dealers, so they're best in a 6L.

I noticed a similar build in the top levels using:
Elemental Weakness + Conductivity + Curse On Hit + Armageddon Brand
instead of Blasphemy + Temporal Chains + Enhance + Brand

This gives a 63% boost to damage although it requires using 3 more passive points to pick up Whispers of Doom (top left) for the 2nd curse to stack (alternative is chest piece with You can apply an additional curse, currently 12 ex for a 6L with +spectre)

I do notice the build is a bit squishy if I ever facetank so maybe I'll give the Temporal Chains a shot. Is Enhance really much better than putting on another debuff to go with Blasphemy?

Can someone please clarify

The spell-damage in Pledge of Hands staff is irrelevant right?
Since it's not me doing the damage but my spectres, so i might as well grab cheapest low spell damage POH?

Are we able to get spectre survivability/regen to a point where they can survive pretty much anything when left to their own devices, or is convocation needed to pull them out of big attacks?

I've found spectres will die pretty easily on fights like minotaur, phoenix & shaper unless you time convocates during slams, discharge, shaper beams, etc. I played ice golemancer last league and was used to golems being extremely tanky, they could shrug off shaper beams and outregen the damage due to insane scaling of golem buffs.

Actually, you can use both. Another offensive curse for 3 points gives for sure way more DPS then 3-point jewel socket, thanks for this idea... :-)

Not a single of my spectres ever died in end level fights (62k life in PoB). But i hit Convocation often, its damage boost too anyway.

62k spectre life seems insane. My slave drivers only go up to 35k life according to PoB. And all the PoB links in the build guide have similar levels of life (35k-40k life).
