can you revive any of the incursion mobs in the temple?

Yes (as mentioned above). Fanatics are pretty good, the ones that cause meteor like orbs look cool, but probably not that great due to delay on damage landing.

I'm unsure about the large vaal guy that does a charge attack, with multistrike he might make a decent melee attacker?

A couple things dont leave corpses though so can't use them.

The Vaal Advocate comes in four versions all of whom may have potential.
Right now I'm using the lightning one but with the right setup I think the phys mortar one might be the best.

*edit* wrong thread.

There are already two discussions on reddit about the new vaal spectres

a) https://old.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/8otbih/psa_to_summoners_risen_vaal_advocates_from_temple/

Spectre: http://poedb.tw/us/mon.php?n=Risen+Vaal+Advocate

So far I'm testing Risen Vaal Advocate (Fire) and as mentioned in the above links: They seem to be good for clear, however their Boss DPS seems to be lower than those of the current kings, FS/SG.
They have awesome MTX though ^^

Now Arc is good selfcast, traps and totems. How about Spectres? Blackguard Arcmage is quite good, but it casts Lightning Thorns on my opinion too often. Is there other Arc Spectres?

Someone can tell me who is the best melee spectre in game ? Kitava Herald ?

keep in mind that monster skills are almost always different from playerskills. i'd assume that all arc enemies still use the old version.

Personally i tried using the phys mortar advocates and fireball advocates, both seem to have decent damage. the mortar guys pull ahead on boss dps. they have shit clear tho because the projectile is slower and hits more like magmar orb (as in no collision mid flight, unlike fireball)

alot of people talking about the lightning advocates which seem to be decent

I've just started using solarsworn archmages and they do insane damage with their magma orb, its a bit slow moving though.

figure relinking with faster proj should solve that, since it pierces its great for getting past invincible shrines/uniques with ease

It's also hilariously fun to watch a solid wall of magma orbs just flatten everything as it moves along.

has anyone found out if any specters are using new trap mechanics? im curious but i have no idea which monsters use traps in their kits

If one were to use the lightning version of the vaal advocates, what would you switch to for Elemental Equilibrium? Freezing pulse? Firestorm? I've only ever used Arc or Ball Lightning for EE so I guess it's time to experiment.
