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

There's a guy that has posted a brand new video of a "Mindweave Sentinel"

Has 120% dmg, and 450% life. His gear is mirror tier however, so when you, youtube it, have that in mind.

Can be acquired from distant memory maps, currently around 1ex.

I've just uploaded a build guide video for the league starter. I tried to keep the video short. And sorry about my terrible mic quality.

PoB is https://pastebin.com/6ZtHJuW8

I guess this is good enough? including regal ofc.

A few Spectres I've tried
turong which are the small dogs in delve (big fireball is hilarious looking but the cooldown on it might be too long combined with cast time
baranite thaumaturge - the delay on some of the stuff kind of feels bad
baranite preacher - dmg felt real low
daughter of valako (legion) - the rain of arrows is pretty cool and a lot of physical dmg base being converted but felt a little eh as not enough usage of the rain of arrows sadly.
Sin Purger (legion) - doesn't feel to bad its ground aoe has way lower cast time compared to thaumaturges but still unsure on the dmg

Haven't played this build since Legion, and it's a bit shocking to see Unending Hunger so expensive instead of dirt cheap =P

phase run should be kept at lvl 1?

Phase Run 20/20 is 49% ms but needs 155 dex.
Phase Run 1/20 is 40% ms and only needs 79 dex.

Level it up and match your dex. Don't go too high because you will need to give up important stats (life / res) to get dex as well.

Does that make sense?

Summoner was a hidden meta build for so long, but in 3.8 and 3.9 everyone started to play it, so Unending Hunger went from 1c trash unique to 1-2ex.

I had to take it out of the main build and put it as just recommended. It's very nice, but I think it's better to spend currency on other things first.

Just a quick question on progression. Looking at the change from level 70 to level 80 on the PoB should one only switch when you can get the +1 Spectre from somewhere other than Death Attunement?

Edit: Ah, I see its the annointed amulet

I've been using Baranite Thamaturge and I think it's like playing a spectre version of mines without detonate! If they put the ground spell under the boss and the boss doesn't move, it will just disappear. But it's so terrible for mapping.

I just tested the Templar War Maiden. They can spam the mag orbs which is really nice, but the damage seems a bit low. I'll post a video on youtube.

If anyone is looking to try some of the new spectres, one I'd recommend is baranite sister. Seems to be a bit weaker than slave driver for sure, and for whatever reason GGG gave it much lower damage as a spectre, but it has a funny "bouncy ball" zigzag magma orb like skill that spreads out and can still do pretty well. Projectiles are locked at 1 initial so extra proj does nothing, but spell echo helps a lot with spread.

Baranite thaumaturges felt pretty bad while mapping, their explosion cascade thing takes forever to start and they all cast it at the same time stacked up so it doesnt clear well, and they fire their beams at useless angles usually.

Baranite clerics felt absolutely shitty, basically shrapnel shot with less damage in terms of mechanics, and awful ai, though that might just be short range spectre ai in general until GGG gives us aggressive ai without wasting a socket.

I hope someone can find a spectre thats comparable in strength to slave drivers so we get some variety.
