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

Ok it looks like Sand Leapers and Kitava Herald's proc bleed - I think


Oh man, I did a test with various combos of 1 KH and leapers with multistrike/minion speed, and they are so aggressive leaping onto everything 3 times very quickly and out in front of you!
No need for convocation
And 1-2 Vanguards, most of the links work with all 3.

I think some combo of the above 3 spectres, can give you the highest zombie/SRS DPS, and provide tanking ability, and single target damage.

Bleed, and scorching ray debuff = super strong SRS hits

I don't know if they proc bleed because I focus on their very hard hitting ranged attack. I'm not sure how to buff the physical damage, which is quite high, but even as they are they can pummel most anything quite easily.

Reliquarians are even MORE tanky but not as ranged. I've managed to overcome their anemic AI by using the Primordial Jewels which make my golems aggressive. Spectres will respond to whatever the golems go after.

There are a few other spectres in that channel as well, but Kitava's seem to be the toughest. Solar Guards, in the end, are the best for ranged & single target.

Doesdre's skin is proving an interesting item to use, now that chest slot can be freed up from zombie/spectre's. The totem only lasts 6 seconds, but really thats long enough for most things.

You can also continue to use and overlap your regular blasphemy curses, so potentially 7-9 curses in total. I'm using temp chains/enfeeble in blasphemy to hit the caps, and im using:

elemental weakness
flammability
frostbite
conductivity
vulnerability
projectile weakness

In the armour, its like using ball lighting+ EE on crack. There's some downsides in the survivability department, so probably not for top tier stuff. but its a lotta fun :)

Dropping EE means can use volatile dead without worrying about hindering spectres, also means you can mix elements since everything has max negative elemental resists.

The other option would be using the 3 curses that grant charges on kill and dropping the 3 focused elemental curses. I'll give that a go later, I imagine it would be like using victario's charity, but can still use prism guard for some lightweight 35% auras (or a new shaper shield with 15% mana reserve reduced).

Did you get the Reliquarians to desecrate?

I'm trying the chaos degen bears from caverns and then don't desecrate as well :(
Their chaos degen aura looks like it could do good damage with a high level spectre, plus they could pretty tanky as well


One of these and a Wickerman and a few Vanguards would make one hell of a degen DOT squad!
Might be OK in the HoGM

I tried playing around with Reliquarians yesterday. It seems like beyond act 10. You can't really find these guys anywhere else.

I saw thoose minions in high tier maps influenced by shaper (i remember them in indoors map)
And corpse were targetable.

Hope this can help.

Thanks. I'll give these guys a shot then.

The bouncing blade guys 'truth extractors' are a lot of fun with projectile weakeness and appropriate supports, especially for indoor maps where they can hit the same mob multiple times with the same blade.

I just got attacked by them in Relic Chambers map

Infact the map verisons seem to have more powerful/larger AOE on thei firestorm thing.

The Sanguinue Reliquarian seems serious


But they don't descecrate even in their own areas


edit - i summoned one, along with my squad of 1 Solar guard, 1 Wickerman and 1 Vanguard in SSF Abyss
I have a 4 link Vis mortis setup - Spectre + minion damage + spell echo + GMP.
So these guys just hang back and spam their 3 + GMP proj spell and then drop their firestorm thing, which does ignite

came across this in maze map

http://poedb.tw/us/mon.php?n=Twisted+Effigy

seems pretty tanky, damage looks good
It does a some kind of channeling ground cascade thing


---

tried 2 of those SRS summoning spectres, they seem better than in Harbinger, had Hatred aura.
in SSf just a 4 link, with spell echo and GMP (their projectile spectral thing benefits from both)

1 Solar guard and 1 Wikcerman as well. Might try with a Vanguard
