Bit miffed here after going up against Phoenix. Currently level 83 with spectre level 82 and Phoenix ate one spectre and my animated guardian during the fight. The dps is definitely there to do guardians and shaper etc, but is it normal that the minions are squishy against guardians or did the moons just align wrong and chris willson willed them to death? O_o

Depends a lot on your map mods, how you play and what your DPS is. It varies a lot.

I think the only time I lost Spectres was at a Minotaur with 4 damage mods that lasted a while.

Amazing build! was a vaal skeleton build but struggled in high tier maps. switched to this build and now finished uber atziri and very close to reaching uber elder! and i barely die now too unless its from the 4 guardians or shaper/elder.

Also using a 6L soulwrest staff for the phantasm instead which goes well with the necro devour diadem constantly spawning phantasm lol.. along with dread banner for more phys. pretty sweet clear speed :D


Definitely recommend this build for any new necro players!
Thanks Kay!


Very nice. I've tested with phantasms and they go well with diadem. I have soulwrest on weapon swap with the wand + shield, though. Soulwrest for mapping, wand + shield for bosses

Are you having any fps issues with phantasms on PS4?


i was having fps issues with the vaal skeletons, but not so much with only 4 spectres and phantasms, so its made the game better and actually playable :)
I picked up one of those timeless jewels Uberelite was using (Militant faith - of Averius). The one I got changes a notable near where I was thinking of using it(conduit area) into 10% chance to inflict lightning exposure on hit at 150 devotion. That seems potentially really strong but they make you bend over backwards to get that much devotion. I could also grab +1 minimum endurance charge also if I got there. I’m only lvl 84 at the moment do you think it’d be reliable and a big enough dps boost on harder content to try out? I guess it probably isn’t worth spending more points on then the extra curse wheel would be?

Is it normal that Animate Guardian needs to be resummoned every time you start the game or switch characters? According to the wiki it should stay active like the spectres.


That's normal.

The equipment you give it is persistent (saved to your character), but the minion itself despawns when you log out, change character or remove the gem.

Just cast the spell on an empty area.

I'm not really falimilar with Uber's build, and I don't use timeless jewels myself, but with regards to whether getting more damage is 'worth it':

How are you PoB numbers after you've added the Pledge of Hands & Slaver Driver workarounds?

I did an UE last night and accidentally forgot to swap Inc AOE for Conc Effect, so had an estimated 624k dps per spectre.

Even with that, the fight took 2 mins.


*I'm currently finishing an update to the Pledge build that should be more affordable (no Aul's) and have a lot more survivability.

It's good to know the build will work on PS4!

I had a quick look at your profile. With level 18 AG and no Empower, it's total HP is quite low and doesn't have enough regen to facetank Phoenix.

Slave Drivers come with 0% fire res, so they are a little squishy without added res from jewels. They're also level 82, but level 18 gem has a small life penalty as well. The best bet at this stage is to move away and convocate when Phoenix starts channeling his burst.

im lv93 now n almost have similar gear and items..but why my minion avg damage is only 59k in pob while ur is 175k???



also will this watchers eye increase my minion lightning dmg because of warth? cause i dont see any diff in pob with or without it either...

also im currently running dread banner, wrath, zealotry and precision,,, cant run 5th aura 'fresh amd stone' because of mana reserve...any suggestion...thanks


To see the correct damage, you need to edit your Unending Hunger and add in Uberelite's workaround. Also, edit your Pledge of Hands with this workaround from the wiki:

Spoiler
Path of Building does not currently (v1.4.140) implement Greater Spell Echo Support. In order to simulate DPS with the staff the "Socketed Gems are Supported by Level 30 Greater Spell Echo" mod must be replaced with "Socketed Gems deal 52% more Spell Damage" when using Spell Echo Support, or with "Socketed Gems deal 35% more Spell Damage" when not using that support.


The eye only affects your damage. It doesn't affect minions.

Drop Precision. Re-colour the helmet socket as red and leave it unlinked. Then put Flesh and Stone in the helmet.
