{3.0} Necronomicon / Raise Spectre Monster Info...[The Unofficial Minion Wiki]

I found them, the Cannibal Fire-Eater, in a Shore map they spawn (t8 lvl 75 if I remember correctly)
Same setup than Flame sentinel : Spectre; Spell Echo; Minion Dmg; GMP; Elemental Focus; Fire penetration.

They do a quite good job, but for me, biggest prob is the range.

Those are the ones. Try Faster projectiles to increase range instead of elemental focus or spell echo.

Looks like they have more life% and damage% then voidbearers a similar mob type but less skill repeating.

Looks like they use flame totem that has a 100% damage effectiveness right? Seems similar to void bearers.

I was thinking of a boss melting combo for these types of spectres to tackle some of these non-poison immune bosses

RS + Faster Proj + added chaos + poison + minion damage + gmp/lmp( life leach on switch so they can facetank bosses)

+ projectile weakness for the KB(makes farshot on voidbearer more reliable), insane projectile damage and scaling for poison

Guide Updated and format changed.

This will no longer be a tier list (it's too opinionated and hard to tier things really) and it wasn't what I originally intended. This guide should purely be for information.

The spectre section will be split into 3 sections:
- DPS spectre
- Tanks
- Utility

I will also include two new pieces of info, the flat dmg of their skill and their innate damage and life modifiers.

I will start by including spectre that perform very well in their categories and as I have more time to update the guide slowly add less commonly used spectre choices.

For necronomicon, Working on:
- Minion interactions with "on kill"
- Unending Hunger Jewel interaction

Great work. This is a good thread for any summoner to keep an eye on.

Unending hunger seems pretty good. I am only basing this on the fact that my spectres don't die. I remember having to replace specters now and then before this jewel was added to the game. So it's well worth having one of them.

Honourable mention.
The jewel fortified legion is not bad at all for builds that use necromantic aegis + bone offering.

There was another interesting monster i have seen that is fairly common in maps. I think it uses blade vortex. Anyone tried that one for a spectre?

My game crashes too often to play soul eater summoner, but if I were going to do it, I'd DEFINITELY run the flicker strikers from A3 sewers! Or maybe the flicker spiders, since they would never Discharge? But yeah, tons of attack speed + flicker strike sounds awesome!

Flicker spiders + the unique Victario's charity shield and necro aegis. Or the dischargers with the same shield. Need to try that this league!

Does anyone know if spectre with unending hunger can eat souls from expiring minions?

skeletons
animate weapon
SRS

Thanks for keeping up with the guide! I check back here every league to see if there's any new summoner hotness :D

Hi,

- the vortex one you are looking for are the "Slashed Miscreation"
you can find them in any "Demon" monster pool.
But I find their AI not enough agressive, they roam most of the time and their aggro range
is pretty small


- I'm not sure if they reworked something with the Undying grapplers (the flicker + discharge
monsters) but each time they earn a frenzy charge, they now discharge, even if there is
nothing near them, so they became imo pretty useless actually.

No problem =).

I can't believe a guide like this hasn't been written up since I started playing back in 2012. All minion related information are so scattered. Super convenient when I want to make a summoner but I had not played poe in a while and forgot some of the mechanics.

As far as unending jewel is concerned. Did some research

- Spectre only gains souls when they kill other monsters and must be in range, something like a circle half of the screen from the spectre
- The fact that spectre needs to be so close, spectre types that are more mid range or melee will take much more advantage of the jewel. Things like flame sentinels needs to be micromanage into place with convocation. Discharge Grapplers with victario charity is probably one of the best options.
- Spectre CANNOT gain souls from expiring or dying allied minions
- the 20% chance can stack up to 100%, the aoe stacks to 40%, the 30s duration will not stack
- The jewel can be placed in 5 locations on the tree http://i.imgur.com/U26AqZO.jpg
- 80% AOE spectre is possible, could open some fun builds
- since spectre eats souls, you can NO longer can gain vaal souls reliably, this also interferes with master missions that involve soul feeding.
- once that 30s is up the spectre loses all stacks and must start over
- one soul goes to one spectre at a time, with multiple spectre's the souls gets spread out between the spectre's that has the buff
- Each stack of soul eater grants:
5% attack/cast speed
5% phys reduction
5% resists
??% character size.

It sounds like you're saying you can't refresh the duration. I've noticed this in my testing as well but was hoping I was just really unlucky.

Shame. It would have been neat to feed a minion for the whole map and see how it does against Atziri.

I've also noticed that fed spectres seem to get a lot more spammy with their spells. I might just be imagining it, but someone recorded the effect on a mob a while back.
