Hey,

I love your builds and I thought I would give this one a go as well. I want to ask about your opinions on some points.

1. I find reaching 4-5 spectres a long term goal and even impossible for a casual player like myself. I thought of having Raise Spectre - Animate Guardian - Blood Magic - Meat Shield and 3 spectres; They of Tul, Ruins Hellion and Carnage Chieftain.

2. For animate guardian, a friend suggested Mask of the Stitched Demon and "gain %8 of maximum life as extra ES" body armour, and he claims with Grave Intentions, it would be impossible to kill.

3. For 6-link, I am thinking of good old Vaal Summon Skeletons, which I will only use Vaal version while bossing. If not enough, I can spam some more skeletons as well.

4. Until I lay my hands on a decent priced Devouring Diadem, I am using Bubonic Trail for extra corpse consumption. I already got Queen's Hunger, so I do not run out of phantasms.

5. Why do we waste a perfectly good amulet slot with Astramentis? Can't we fix Dex problem with a well-rolled Onyx Amulet and have some resistances and life with it?

Thanks for this great build. I love to see Phantasms made great again :)

Which gem is the best substitute for single targets? (green: faster project> slower project, GMP > ???).

I can suggest Vicious Projectiles instead of Faster Projectiles and Slower Projectiles instead of Greater Multiple Projectiles. This is a good DPS setup for single target but you will suffer a lot from clearing.

I personally do not like gem or weapon swap so I use Lesser Multiple Projectiles instead of Greater one, which is a nice balance between clearing and bossing I believe.

Edit: You have Brutality so I guess you don't use Hatred or Grip of the Council, right? It makes less sense to use Vicious Projectiles with Brutality. Yet, it might be a good idea to check DPS values from PoB.

Is this build capable of clearing Legion Monoliths in juiced T14+ maps?

I'm currently playing a phys Spider/Syndicate Operative build and have been working on scaling phys damage. I currently use summon phantasms on my spectres and am scaling phys via impale, pride, and vulnerability. They're "decent" at bossing. It seems like this could be a different method instead of going with fire and cold additions. Whatcha think?
