Thank you for the guide!
A couple of questions I had trouble with (I'm just getting into POE I appreciate all the detail and effort)
1) Why Elemental Weakness over Conductivity?
2) How do you run so many auras?
3) I want to try Animate Guardian. What is better to wear (me)
a) Bone Helmet with +1 to minion gems AND minion life
b) Bone Helmet with +2 to minion gems

(how much is that lvl X minion life roll worth? Does the answer change if a) goes to 2 and b) goes to 3)

Hey!

Just wanted to post a thank you, I picked this build as my league starter for blight (I was late to the party), but this build has been the strongest I've ever played, I have managed to gear myself decently using only the currency I've acquired whilst levelling and at no point have I struggled with any content so far and I'm currently doing T13/T14's with ease.

Edit: One thing I forgot to mention and wasn't sure if it had been mentioned before or not, but I am running 5 spectres and I'm using a standard ps4, I am noticing extreme fps loss doing higher end blight content.


Are you using any zombies at all?

I’m also on the PS4 but not as far as you. I’m pushing into upper yellow maps and only have 4 Spectres. I use a few zombies and a chaos golem (mainly to hit the 10 minion mark) and also notice FPS drops during big blight actions. I’ve tried one low level blight map and that became unplayable in the last minute and I ended up dying bc I couldn’t control my character well enough with the FPS drop (it was also V1 of the wand and shield at the time).

I just think the Consoles can’t handle the blight mechanic well. Even PC players are struggling with it.

Anyway, good to hear that you got up to t-13/14 without problems.

How did you get the +1 Spectre armor? I’ve looked in the trade market but can’t find one (not that I could afford it anyway). I’m still in a tabula.

Yeah I'm using 10 zombies, 5 spectres, skitterbots and stone golem.


I am also still using a tabula at the moment, I'm achieving 5 spectres by using;
and the Death Attunement passive (also Unnatural Strength ascendancy).


The wand isn't ideal as it reserves 30% of your life, but the increases to your minion speed and damage are great, not to mention the additional spectre and zombie.


Wow so you skipped the trigger wand? I paid someone to craft it for me (still haven’t finished unlocking it) and have it on a pretty crappy convocation wand. But the automation of desecrate and offering is amazing. It really made the gameplay much easier and faster plus with offering almost always up my defenses are better.

The trigger wand is on my list! I have been trying just had no luck with rolls yet :(

On an update to my original post, this afternoon I managed to craft myself a decent 6 link:




I have also just this minute completed my first T16 (corrupted rare) ever and using this build!

Not a deathless run as I have never got this far before and wasn't aware of the mechanics on the boss, but managed to kill him on the 3rd try!

This is a true testament to how strong this build is.

1) EW with enhance is -50% all resist, Conductivity is just -44%
2) Less Mana Reserved items/passives and items that make certain auras cost no mana.

3) +1 minion gem gives only 4% increased life to AG, minion life gives 45% MORE minion life (much better)

Made it to t11 without spending much of anything before I've started dying a few times. My gear is TRASH and im looking for upgrades now - but im really unsure of which order to upgrade them in. About the only things I guess I want to keep are the boots (a lucky craft!) and maybe my gloves?

I think i perhaps want to prioritise the amulet so I can allocate rav horde to it, but i suspect a replacement helm or chest could do some stupid damage increases, further increasing my damage and protecting me a bit better in the process. Keen to hear your thoughts :D

The ultra cheap option is to just fix and start using my flasks... but gear is probably something im more likely to use, lol

Here's an SSF POV for this build at level 92, made with Acrobatics and pretty decent gear, managed to squeeze in everything I wanted. Gave up Vaal Haste as I simply don't need it.

1.5 mil per Spectre, with 5 Spectres total.
6-7k life, depends on the level and gear, as well as overall decent defences.
Squeezed in Aspect of the Spider thanks to a lucky helmet craft, can probably do the same with a helm enchant instead. Might multimod the gloves later for 10-20% Minion Damage on top of this.
