Taking the spectre gems out of their host item desummons the spectres and you have to resummon them by going to Act 5.
And if we're on the subject of wands, here's my bad boy:
First...OMG
Second ... O M G
Third ... seriously, how do you do that? I am just getting into crafting. I just started playing a cpl weeks before harvest started. I heard delve crafts are best for us in this build but I am clueless.
Could you make me one? With payment of course. Or perhaps give a newb some detailed info on how to DIY?
Thanks for confirmation on the spectre gem. I was hoping that was the case.
Speaking of newb, how do you guys post such cool little icons here in the forum. I'd love to post my helmet or even my chest which I also made.
Thanks
Edit - we dont do any damage, right? Just our minions. And they do physical- at least with brutality. I ask this because in the passive tree, the route to get to the large socket goes thru 2x "increased elemental damage" nodes. Do our minions benefit from this? If not I would suggest using the same amount of passive points to instead obtain the large socket near Hex Master. This would give you 2x "4% increased maximum mana". Obviously not ground breaking but unless the increased elemental damage actually helps us, the mana is a nice plus for skeleton spamming when vaal is on cool down.
Posting icons of your items is very easy.
You have to be logged in in the forum (obviously).
The "post reply" window has to be opened (or create thread).
On the top on the left you chose the character or stash tab you want to share an item from. You left-click this item. In the post-reply-window magically appears a code that links to the item and shows an icon.
You are right, the nodes with increased maximum mana are better than the elemental damage ones since this witch doesn't do any damage on her own.
Overwhelmed by Path of Exile? You might want to have a look at Wrecker_of_Days' beginner-friendly guides. One-click-wonders that do not require any specific items to conquer the campaign and the Atlas: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2606288/page/1
I just want to drop a quick thank you for this build and your write up. I'm following it almost exactly, the only change I have made is not using Desecrate and instead using that gem slot for Convocation, because minions are dumb and like to get lost.

Bone offering "feeds" off desecrate. It is only an issue if there are no other corpses around. But if you start feeling less safe, you may want to put it back in there. With meat shield, more people notice the zombies not engaging than wandering. Specters try to stay by you, and you can always drop skeletons on command.
Just advice, if it is working roll with it!
I will wear your ghost and you will die twice, against me and for me.
That is some cold blooded shit to say...
I combined my self-found Soultaker and Heartbreaker and thus created this beauty:
Insert Kingmaker: WELL DONE!
Right now I'm pretty nervous because I'm just about to give it to my Animated Guardian... From now on, no more silly adventures in Acid Caverns*, my undead companions. We don't want our Animated Guardian to die. He has the best gear of all of us :)
* and neither racecourse... if I remember correctly one of the bosses can have a reflection aura.
Awesome Caligula_Exile! So cool! Good luck! AG makes me nervous too ;). My map that I'd avoid with AG is Acid Caverns. Those pricks can hit insanely hard with certain map mods.
I heard that about Racecourse! Yes watch out.
Acid Caverns, Vaal temple and of course Hall of Grandmasters.
And phys and elemental reflect mods of course :)
Good luck, culling strike is awesome.
For the hobo version, you can always give your skeletons Culling Strike.
Dwaine did this after losing Kingmaker to Vaal Temple map :(

You know what I do? I play PoE on Steam and every time I'm about to give an item to AG - I press F12 and make a screenshot of it. That's how I never forget which items (and on which character) are on my AG ^^
That's some good forethought M_atrix! Hopefully some AG changes are coming so you don't need to do that anymore.

Yesterday I went to act 5 and found and killed 3 kitava heralds to use as my 3 spectres.
Today I crafted a gfg helmet and now I am about to go out and farm. I am in the hideout and used desecrate. When i attempt to raise spectre, the only option i get from the corpse pile is Desecrated Bonestalker. I assume this is default. Anyhow ... where are my kitava heralds? Are they gone because i switched my gems into a new helmet? Or, do I now have to go to act 5 every day and reacquire them? Thanks.
FWIW, my helmet is a bone helmet with 20% implicit, +2 level of gems, t1 life, t2 lightning res, minions have 18% more life and +1 to maximum # of zombies and skeletons. (Benchctafted "can have 3 crafted mods"). Its my first real attempt at this type of craft. I hope I did good >< some day I will delve more and try delve crafting. I think it's kinda needed for my wand I want to make ... ???
Hey dlvbrown1969! Spectres will stay up through login and logout. (I wish Zombies did too.) If you remove the Spectre gem, it will kill your Spectres, just like it will for zombies. (So, the opposite of AG.) Confusing, hey?

All correct. I'll be updating the tree (if it stays the same) to have the mana cluster for 3.12.
In terms of the elemental damage dlvbrown1969, you are correct. We do no damage. So unless a node says, "minion" or "ally(ies)", it won't improve your minions.

Thanks xenothaulus! That's very kind of you to take the time to be thankful. I really appreciate it. That's a sweet change as long as Descrate still goes off a lot. Minions are dumb. Goodness. So dumb. But I guess they'd be Players if they were smarter ;). Thanks again for your kindness :) and good luck!

I just now created these. I tried some essence craft without success. I then used delve craft to make the two above. Neither are great, but either are usable ... for now. >< I think the left (Blight) is better even though the right (Fate) has a ton more attack speed and some accuracy. Thoughts? FWIW the right can have the cold modifier removed, but then what could I put in its place?
