SO just SUCKS in every iteration even with phantasms in 6L tabula.
They are NO MORE spectres for clear.
If you gonna use phys to cold conversion you need to consider other spectres.
Even Artless Assassins works better than SOs.

Frost Auto-Scouts works much better, thou they won't scale so good as they are full-cold SPELL-based spectres.

It's my observation from lvl 43 act 5. Damn, even Slave Drivers are better than SO.

Is this bad clear?

We're past day 1 now so use Syndicate Operatives instead.
You can find Syndicate Operatives by going into /global 6666 and asking for the spectres there.

Someone kind will invite you after which you go to their hideout and cast "Desecrate" on the ground there.
From there, you will be able to raise the spectres.

One thing I tried and have liked quite a bit is an AG with gravebind and a crusader explody chest (18%) - using a budget build with a cannot be frozen victarios boots and a sign of the sin eater as well. Improves cluttered screen clearing a lot - damage was a bit lacking before I changed to cold but seems fine now. Need to get jewels and a better helmet though..

Guess we cant use fortress convenant anymore ( it hits lord of the dead)

Oh, didn't realize. Will have to wait until you get large clusters to use the Covenant Gems then. That's unfortunate

Which pantheons are used now with the changes to how they work?

Spoiler

DO I manually cast frostbite to trigger the Assasins mark curse in the gloves?

Wondering if I could use the ring that gets skitterbots to cast a curse and use that to trigger the curse in my gloves?

thanks

First of all thanks a lot for your great work, this great build and your permanent help by answering all the questions! I read this guide and the discussion for some weeks now and understood a lot, but not everything, because I only played 200 hours until now... ;-)

It might be a noob question, but do I understand it right, that once I got SO spectre from another one's hideout, I can desecrate it on my own in my hideout, if one spectre dies? So I just need one from another person and could raise the other/them in future by my own?

Another question is, how do you guys get a 6 link in this few days? During the last league I played, it took me a lot of time and trys... :-(

I probably will have a lot more questions, but I'll try to answer them first on my own... ;-)

This build honestly feels stronger than even in 3.15. The phantasms really add a lot (A single support gem effectively adding >250% damage to a linked skill is honestly absurd, why aren't all summoner builds doing this?). Right now they have 100% uptime at all times even without quality on the gem, so I might do some testing later with some stronger but ​slower spectres.
IMO cold conversion is still the way to go, even without EE.
Vaaled red maps are no problem, but I tend to die a lot to scourge - I should
probably add a cast on death portal for mapping.
My current gear looks like this. Next upgrade will probably be a +1 (maybe even +2) neck so that I can get a proper anoint and clean up my passive tree
