Suppose you use zombies/vaal skeletons with a triad grip for the elemental army/combust application, and keep spectres for crit/frenzy/etc?

They'd likely be dishing out a serious pounding, probably way way more than the spectres, with their own damage converted to 100% fire. Could keep bone golem too, for the ridiculous multiplication effect it has on vaal summon skellies.

I imported your Character in PoB.
Your Spectress do
748 - 1122 Phys
39 - 552 Lightning
0 Cold
0 Chaos
12328 - 18493 Fire

you could safely add a few more jewels with other damages than fire. ;-)

there won't be a Problem.

In the gem details section there are a large number of gems shown as no higher than level 1 (Animate guardian, Raise Zombie (the second one), Minion life, Infernal Cry, Summon Stone Golem, Ball Lightning, Summon Skitterbots, Clarity, Arcane Surge and Convocation). Should these all be kept at level 1 like Desecrate or which ones should be higher (and what level if so) ?

Don't mind the levels of the Linked gems, I lot of them I just bought to link them in the Guide to give a visiual indication and to be able to hover over them.
The actuall levels of the Gems are in the PoB.

The only gems you do not want or need to level to 20 are:
Desecrate
Ball Lightning
Infernal Cry
Arcane Surge

I also assume that the gem in comment "Note: Only Level Faster Attacks and Second Wind as your Dex can take it." should be Flame Dash, not Faster Attacks ?

No, Faster Attacks is correct here.
We use Faster Attacks for Shieldcharge and Second Wind for Flame Dash.
Both Faster Attacks and Second wind have a rather high Dex requirement and since we are typically starved on Dex you only level them as high as your dex can take it. By that I mean that you should go out of your way to get more dex to level these Gems to 20.

our target amount of dex is that of a level 20 Skitter Bots gem (which is 68) everything above that is nice, but not needed.

So far the build is going well, not many issues except a few silly mistakes, but am having a hard time getting the right gear with the right attributes. I'm guessing they will come in time :-)

Happy to hear that the build is working out for you. :-)

Not quite sure what your plan is here ;-)

you want to use Triad Grip with 4 red sockets to convert all minion Physical Damage to fire Damage.

Drop the Combustion and Elemental Army Support on the Spectres? What you want to replace them with? what Spectres would you be running?

Not sure where you would add the Carrion Golem and Skeletons since we are quite short on sockets and you only had red sockets in your gloves which makes it even harder to fit the other gems.

Hello. I'm trying to figure it out, but I can't figure it out. The Support gem Elemental Army Support gives us "Minions from Supported Skills inflict Exposure on Hit, applying -10% to the Elemental Resistance matching highest Damage type taken by Enemy". This means that only the highest damage received per type will have a negative resistance on the enemy. I looked in POB, even with jewell with "Minions deal # to # additional Fire Damage" we don't have enough damage of that type using auto-frost scout to have "Exposure on Hit from fire" on the enemy. Please explain how this is supposed to work?
I apologize in advance, English is not my native language.

You are exactly right, Elemental Army does not work for us with Forst Auto-Scouts.
I completly missed that, damn!

Thanks for pointing it out.
I will correct it as soon as I can.

IS Divergent skitterbots better than normal ones?>

If anyone has time to look at my build and see where I can update please let me know. Also, how does he get the nodes at the very top of the passive tree? looks like gaps? but, I don't see any special jewels? thanks.

Yes they are better for us.

I didn't add alternative or awakened gems to the build since its meant to be a starter and those gems are kinda hard to come by.
