Does Global Critical Strike matter for this build at all?

Thanks!

Thanks, @angry_roleplayer! I have to tell you, I've played a few builds in POE, but this one has been by far the most fun! I've got a decent sound system on my computer, and I crank up the volume to listen to the Solar Guards attacking - man, they have a great attack sound - really shakes the whole room.

My wife tends to simply close the door to my computer room now when playing! :D


Quick question: I have a basic Mace weapon with 91% increased minion damage and +11 minion attack/cast speed. I just found the "Midnight Bargain" wand. It only has +19 minion damage, +17 minion movement speed, and +23 spell damage. But it does add +1 Specter. Is the extra Specter better than the overall loss of damage?

I've noticed there is no off-hand requirement for this character. The leaves an opportunity to level 6 gems passively. I started thinking about this when I sold a 20 quality Multistrike gem for 14 chaos the other day. It seems like this might be a good opportunity to gain some income every few days without much extra effort.

Do you have any recommendations on what Red + Blue gems should be leveled to gain the most chaos? I left out Green gems because the Dex on my character limits some of them to level 18 or less.

And again, thanks for all the great guides you're releasing to the community. It really helps me discover a lot more of the features of this amazing game!

Love your build leveling it up atm. The Bone Helmet got nerfed from 40% minion to 20% minion max. is it still the best choice over a skullhead? Or are there other options?

Wanted to say THANKS! for all the fun playing your Summoning Specter build on POE. Also, thanks for standing behind your builds in the forum – patiently answering my noob questions. I threw a little cash your way using your Donate button – just because I think your such a valuable asset to the POE community!

I do have a small question/request: when I first played POE, I really liked an old SRS-based build. From what I’ve read lately, I know SRS’s never be “end game” but I found playing them hilariously fun – especially with a good sound system turned up loud! Since I’m more of a casual player and never really delve into much of the end game content anyways:

Can you recommend a decent SRS build that could handle “most” POE content – or dare I ask for you to use your extensive POE knowledge to design a tanky, kitemaster who uses SRS as its major attack?

Many thanks!
