trying to use corpses of bogfelled commoner with 400% hp for spectre, but it does not let

does anyone know what is reason? when I try to get spectre with 400% base hp summoned by boss (like guides say), raise spectre does not let me target it, only ones with 100% hp

Edit, just read this so not sure anymore

@Kripparrian bogfelled commoners may have been shadow nerfed, still testing. Rootredge doesn't seem to want to spawn weaponless commoners, idk if they exist anymore. Still testing now.

Edit: Good news, the issue I think has to so with the new boss behaviors. He does NOT summon the weaponless bogfelled commoners unless you damage him. I don't know what the threshold is but he specifically summons them in large waves like a necromancer. They do not come from the swamp. You know you have the right ones if the life of the minion is around 700-900 (based off level 7-9 skill gems).

Edit 2: Running the same spectre in two gems is still VERY buggy and I cannot get it to work. Easy workaround is just run another high hp minion with the same gem setup for offhand swap. There's an abyss mob in the depths called blackblooded tarhulk that works fine. They've got about a 3k life difference (39k vs 36k) in my current setup.

To anyone else reading and had a problem like me with doubts if I got the right one or not, all the stats you read like 10k hp or 4k hp are relative because you don't know what gem what level and what passive stats, unsummoned or not the person took.

So basically just trust if you got the one from the boss summon, but take it QUICK. He always summoned non weaponized but there were a lot that came through the bushes, so clear the area, move the boss a bit away to an empty area, let him summon them, kill them quick and summon quick. I died right after grabbing one, that's how it goes sometimes, but still got the right one.

35k hp at level 42 char level, lvl 16 gem with plus skills on gear following KRIPPARRIAN's new Infernalist guide. Got +22% health on scepter also which ain't much and all minion nodes so far.

Sounds about right, no nerfs it seems and the other thing is, they can barely walk so I don't see why they'd nerf them. They are sort of a niche build, not overpowered compared to others out there. Just like to use zombies over other specters that take over the whole screen and these fit the bill.

Good luck, just trust and keep going. The doubt will kill your fun.

P.S. This goes without saying but if you're building internal legion, make sure to get their fire res UP to max and beyond.
