tl;dr empower is the worst support for spectres. Never use it with them. Also don't put spectres in a +2 helmet. Zombies go there.

Indeed it is, in case someone misunderstood, it doesn't give levels to spectres themselves but to the spectre gem.

Which actually might not be such a bad idea, instead of reducing life and damage the gem could have 'raised spectre is x levels below the current area level', and let it turn into 'above' at high gem levels with a nice breakpoint at gem level 22 which could be achieved with either +2 helm or empower gem. Could be interesting and very effective at very high levels when monsters start scaling more aggressively, I'll try to get some feedback on that.

you only think about damage? I dont understand standar players i guess

No, you don't understand how Empower works with Spectre. Empower is just the worst support gem for Spectre.

been researching more, and u right guys, its really bad for spectres.

I have a choice of those three blue support skills to use with my evangelists and I'm not sure which one would be best. I have them linked to added fire already.

I'm leaning toward increased AOE but all three have their benefits. I used them for a while with spell echo and they did great but I can imagine a greater AOE range would be more effective overall, for both the attack and the shield.

Anyone have experience with this and can recommend the best choice?

use these gems. it's the best for evangelists.

Faster casting over echo?

It's probably for convenience, you have to take echo out when raising spectres.

exacly.

No problem for me, I just take it out. They rarely die.

Echo AoE Duration,

Its better to prioritize utility on bubbles over the damage on the attack. Echo gets enough work done as it is.
