SO +2 RS gem level from ascendancy, +1 from wand and +1 from boots = still 4 specres no problemo. Add a Delve chest = 5 spectres?

It also seems like the new influences might be able to add gem level over the board for int gems and such, so basically I have found my starter for the league?

Yes, the 5th from the delve chest, which I hope will be cheaper this league because summoners won't be 'meta'.

+1 amulet crafting will probably be really rare/expensive/difficult. We'll have to see what happens during the league. People will have to choose between the crafted amulet and Jinxed Juju, though.

Build changes from 3.8

Tweaked Passive Tree
Sanctuary notable taken instead of Fearsome Force.
Gain 24% elemental resistance, 7% spell block and 5% attack block.

Dropped and Replaced Gems
Precision and Enhance dropped: unset rings are not needed for 3.9!
Raise Zombie replaced with Animate Guardian.
Increased AOE replaced with Concentrated Effect.

New Gem level Recommendation
Cast when Damage Taken level 15 now recommended.
Immortal Call 15 now recommended.
This means CWDT will proc after taking 25-30% of total health and will proc 33% damage reduction.

Movement Skill Options
Phase Run and CWDT + IC have been put in the Shield. This allows people to replace it with Shield Charge + Fortify + Faster Attacks. If you choose to use Shield Charge, you will need to use Bone Barrier as your guard skill.


Raise Spectre
Raise Spectre gem now requires level 25 to give the 3rd spectre. This means that you must have a level 21 skill gem and +1 minion skill gem on your wand to get 4 (or 5 spectres with delve chest).


Amazing speed to update and great guide :)

Would you recommend other skills to proc EE? Would winter orb be nice and easy to use as you map? Do you use brand on non bosses or don't bother?

Also does feeding frenzy affect other minions or only the type linked to the gem?

Personally hate shield charge and prefers flame dash would you say it makes a big diff with no fortify?

Thanks a lot!
I would just like to ask a all around question for everybody playing specters.

Would do you guys prefer for clearing and for boss fights if you had to pick one of each or do you stick with one for both?

Thank you! Well in Blight i got a lot of problems with spectres survivability on boss fights like uber(sometimes) or guards, what do u think POH build will be able to OK farm new bosses? The question is stupid a bit cause we totally dont know about new boss mechanics etc, but maybe u got some ideas? Ur choice Rare 1h or POH at the end?


Hm. It's hard to predict. I think the W&S build could be better for learning the new fights because it comes with a lot of survivability. PoH build will probably be better for farming once you know how to do the fight.

I think for an experienced player, PoH is more fun.

Shouldn't we prioritize Conductivity over Ele Weakness after removing enhance?

20/20 EW and 20/20 Conductivity have the same -44% res. Conductivity has +14% chance to shock, but the 6L has Elemental Focus, so the spectres cannot shock.

We're still using Skitterbots because they give a flat 18% shock at 20/20.

I'm not sure if using Conductivity and swapping Ele Focus to another damage support is worth it.

PoH / EB & MoM - build changes from 3.8

Dropped and Replaced Gems
Raise Zombie replaced with Animate Guardian.
Faster Casting replaced with Empower 4.

New Gem Level Recommendation
Cast when Damage Taken level 15 now recommended.
Immortal Call 16 now recommended.
This means CWDT will proc after taking 25-30% of eHP and will proc 33% damage reduction.

New Gear Recommendation
Replaced multimodded gloves.
Reduced multimodded delve chest to 3 mods.
Chest links 3L -> 4L.
Pledge of Hands now 5b1r.


Raise Spectre
Raise Spectre gem now requires level 25 to give the 3rd spectre. This means that you must use Empower to have 4 spectres (5 with delve chest).

Empower 4 will result in level 27 RS (level 87 spectres).

Unfortunately, you will lose a damage support gem (Ele Focus 49% more damage) but gain 3 level (+15% more damage and +18% more life: level 84 vs 87).

Very similar to what I came up with. I'll still run Faster Casting for clearing likely, and swap to conc effect for bosses.

I was strongly considering dropping skitterbots in favor of Flesh and Stone towards end game, depending on survivability. I believe the hit damage will be high enough to get a decent shock - of equal level to skitterbots. But without power charges on the Spectres I'm afraid the base crit might be too low to reliably shock. I'll give it a try once I encounter some conquorers.
