The Spectrel Gods ( A Summoners Guide ) [Updated 4/22][Now with video!]

Did some touchups and polishing on the guide with the knowledge I have now.

I have a youtube channel where I post videos of my summoner. Starting a new series that displays the mobs that you can spectre in this game.

You guys are gonna like this, I changed my endgame build again and I came up with this

Aura Stacking Mania

"

If you get all of the Reduced Mana Reservation passives and use a level 20 Reduced Mana.
Purity 40% (original cost)
4 x Reduced Mana Reservation -20% (of 40%) is 32%
Reduced Mana (level 20) -29% (of 32%) is 22.72%
Final Cost 22.72% (%43.2 reduction)

40% auras become 22.72% which means stacking

Purity, Haste, Hatred, Vitality, Anger, Wrath, Grace, Discipline, Clarity

9 auras. (even determination if you have a high quality reduced mana or that prism guardian shield

Also you will have 89% all resist with

I might drop the shock nodes if am going to massive stack auras might not have room for them.

wondering if you don't have mana issues by using armor/es gear
how much is your mana pool?

Right now am able to stack 6 auras with a mp pool of 2036(with discipline)

Haste purity wrath anger discipline grace

Gonna need more mp to stack the next goal which is hatred.

stacking like 9+ auras (endgame) is viable but this would mean taking out your arc so idk if thats a good idea yet(gonna have to test)

8 auras is good enough

armor/es isn't too big of a problem atm. (planning to use prism guardian to reserve some of my hp)

After finding a couple of regrets on the ground I played around with leadership again since am using a ton of auras now. If my minions are not fully covered all the time it seems like such a waste stacking auras.

You would need to drop hp nodes for this but I think the bigger aura coverage is overall better. Now you can really stay safely back and know for sure your minions are benefiting from your auras at all times

I respec into leadership so my current builds looks like

Level 74 Current Build: with leadership

Edit: someone mentioned undying incinerators today in the witch forums here they are (btw they are pretty fucking ridiculous lol, fast fireballs and wide spread burning patches(something like fire trap?)

I'm level 55 now, friggin awesome. I'm excited to level to 70 and get some Max resist gear. Looking for a good 30% to all angelic/archon with high life/es and two bonus resists over 25%.

Currently l have zero survivability in merciless due to negative resists and only 600 hp. But my mana pool is like 2k and the auras are sick. Currently using vitality, discipline, clarity, wrath. Don't have rrbb gloves yet so I can't stack much more. I was considering going with those additional curse boots or dream frag ring and speccing dual skeleton totem. ... Any thoughts about that?

Im going to watch your YouTube videos tonight to check out the destruction

oh damn only 600 hp =X, I would divert some node attention to hp nodes asap. Or some hp gear. Your def gonna get one shotted in merc xD.

Nah you want that extra spectre. If you want triple curses use the ring not the boot. Dual skeleton isn't worth it I barely even use skeles unless gathering my first zombies, bosses, or a hard pack. Also dual totem is soo many points your gonna sacrifice too much defense nodes,

besides arcing with no damage would have like almost 0 duration. Shock debuff is a huge dps increase for your minons.

I went straight for eb after the minion nodes were acquired. Got that hp wheel with the str bonus, haven't smashed that Dec node yet. .. Probably will unless I can get some good Dex gloves with hp and resists.

I'm solo leveling on merciless ledge now, probably will until 56 then move to forest. Or something...

Flame sentinels x4 rock the ledge, even though they are from cruel.

Might get rushed through merciless so I can snag better spectres.

I have a 6l vaal regalia just waiting for me to hit 68.... I like the idea of high spell damage shield. .. Might try to Max resists with my gloves belt and one ring. ... That will be expensive. Lol


Question : how does gem switching affect spectres. I'm at work now so I can't test.

Ex: summon two flame sents with fast cast and fork or something. Then switch to added chaos and faster attacks for tentacles.

Will the flame sents keep fast cast? Or do the new gems apply immediately?

nodes apply when you summon the spectre

for example:

I summon a tentacle with faster attack and GMP, that spectre will be raised with those stats.

I take those supports off, insert chain and faster casting. And a rez a arc mage. That arc mage has chain and faster casting.

The spectre keep what they are revived with.

damn 6-L (am jelly)

Something interesting about a high spell dmg shield. If you get necro aegis. Any spell casting spectre you raise will get that multiplier. Your op flame sents will be even more op basically

remember u can still get resist on helm/weapons/neck (unless ur dead set on +1 spectre)

Awesome, ill carry around some extra gems. ... If I get a second chest piece with spectre gem and swap it directly, do my spectres die? Cuz if not. ... You could have two chest pieces, one with spectrel summoning supports. The other with spectre and curses, traps, etc. .. I want to leave work early to play with this setup lol.

Yeah, im going to keep the necklace and try to min/max my gear. Might pick up a high defense necklace for situational use, but I really like that 30 15/15/14


My summoner helmet needs an upgrade....


It has the +2 and life. ... But no resists :/

Should hold me over until I can afford something better.


You think I should go rathpith for shield ? Or try to get a rare with spell damage, resists, life?

Spectres die when u switch out the spectre gem. You can always gem swap with the equip itself.

Yeah my helm is even worse so no problems lol. Am trying to get one with high life and at least 2 resist so i can swap my ring for that curse ring.
