Hey there :) I first off thanks for these amazing builds :))

would love to start with your minion army build for next league and switch over to pure spectres later on.

What would be an good time ( items I should have at least ) to switch between the two ?

Thanks!

You can switch when you have 4 spectres (in 6L). Level 21 raise spectre gem and +2 from amulet/wand/boots and +2 from ascendancy. You can even use +1 tabula if it's cheap https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Ultimatum/v0PXCE

It's a good idea to level up 6x raise spectre in weapon swap and try to get 21 with vaal orb. (or just buy the gem...)

Try to get trigger craft (bone offering) and life recovery shield as soon as possible for survivability in red maps.

Wait until week 2 to buy diadem. It's always expensive in first week.

Cluster jewels are a bit tricky. They're cheap in early league because people want to sell them quickly, but prices will go up soon.

+1 spectre armour is kinda expensive nowadays especially for good stats, but you can try to find it with bad stats and cheaper price. Avoid dex base (hard to get right colours).

Thanks for the guide. I'm a bit confused now. I saw in one guide that Infernal Legion does not stack, and yes wiki says that is, so why u got 2 of them on leveling (sorry if I don't understand something).

And I heard a lot that spell echo no more working with spectres or only with syndicate operatives?

What do you think about Summon Skeletons on leveling?

2 infernal legions can't work in a group link (u can't stack the same supp gems)

however, it can work due to srs and skitterbots being separate.
they do damage and burn individually

spell echo can only repeat spells
which means if syndicate operative's skill is an attack rather than a spell
it will not repeat

poedb.tw can help you check whether the mob's skill you are looking to spectre with is a spell or not.

Yeah the two IF is just for extra minions running around and auto kill monsters for you! It doesn't stack :(

Spell Echo still works for all spell spectres. (it doesn't work for skele mages)

Originally SO use a spell for the daggers, but GGG changed it to attack. That's why spell echo doesn't work for them anymore.

I'm making a big change for levelling guide! I'm going to change from SRS to skele and also change some gem progression. I have a new skele build for 3.15 so peope can choose between spectre main or skele main.

I'd like to thank you for making the guide as well! It is very meticulous and beginner-friendly.

I'm looking forward to playing with your skeleton build in 3.15, hope we can receive HP buff on spectres from the campaign as Duck mentioned it too in the discord.

Spell Echo and Skeleton mages - on po.ninja so many peeps use this support for them. It really doesn't work?

Skele mages get more cast speed but don't get double cast. Only player gets doubl cast. It's still a good gem because it's 70% more cast speed. And double cast for summon skele is good because you can skip From Dust.




Spectres get both more cast speed and double cast.

I just want to say thank you. For me your guide is the best in the whole game POE. Thanks for all the time you put into it. I play it every season on pc or ps4 and it ís so much fun. :-)

Is Stone Golem really big juice in the survivability of the spectres during levelling ? Can I pick Carrion Golem ?

And what you can suggest for spectres survivability during levelling ? In act 5 as you said I raise Slave Driver with your recommended links but they still dying. Maybe Meat shield or minion life?
