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). Any plans on swapping ascendency points now that we run AG? (Bone Barrier) Golem/AG/5 Spectres. Unless skitterbots count toward the limit? Would zombies still be worth running endgame with minion life/ff/ele army? In-Game Name: Nibllett	Posted by Judgment1#1698 on Dec 11, 2019, 9:40:48 AM Quote this Post
Hello, first time doing a necromancer, feeding frenzy grants buff to all minions or only the ones that the gem support? if that was the case, why put it into golem?	Posted by willianvon#2529 on Dec 11, 2019, 10:35:02 AM Quote this Post

FF does two things. 1. it directly buffs the linked minions 2. it procs the feeding frenzy buff on your necro which gives a buff to all minions. 🔰🌀✨ Video guides on youtube! https://www.youtube.com/KayGaming ✨🌀🔰 🔶🔷🔶 Kay's Summoner build guide: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3179145 🔶🔷🔶	Posted by kayella#0845 on Dec 11, 2019, 10:46:08 AM Quote this Post

Would zombies still be worth running endgame with minion life/ff/ele army? Do you mean with the Wand & Shield build? Pledge build doesn't use Bone Barrier. I recommend skeletons in the trigger wand. It will summon 4 at a time and they should stay alive long enough to help reach the minion count limit. Skitters do count towards the limit, so you only need 1 skeleton to reach the full Bone Barrier buff. Zombies were really just to help proc the debuff/buff of FF and EA. The SG and AG are actually fairly reliable for it. Also zombies are a source of lag, so the game will run better without them! 🔰🌀✨ Video guides on youtube! https://www.youtube.com/KayGaming ✨🌀🔰 🔶🔷🔶 Kay's Summoner build guide: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3179145 🔶🔷🔶	Posted by kayella#0845 on Dec 11, 2019, 10:51:49 AM Quote this Post
Any thought on using SRS in this build? Or, is that just a whole different way to go?	Posted by Reactor52#7022 on Dec 11, 2019, 10:52:35 AM Quote this Post
" NeoLearner wrote: 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. Flesh and Stone only protects from attacks, so it might not be useful if the new endgame bosses do mostly spell damage. I guess we will know soon. If you drop Skitters, you might want to consider using both Flesh and Stone (Nearby Enemies are Blinded while in Sand Stance) and Dread Banner (Nearby Enemies have 21% less Accuracy Rating) and a Jade flask. The low crit chance will make crit (and shock) completely unreliable. Conductivity won't help much. You don't want to use PCoC because that has to replace a damage support. 🔰🌀✨ Video guides on youtube! https://www.youtube.com/KayGaming ✨🌀🔰 🔶🔷🔶 Kay's Summoner build guide: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3179145 🔶🔷🔶	Posted by kayella#0845 on Dec 11, 2019, 11:05:04 AM Quote this Post

Thanks for the guide it was super fun alst league and I intend to use it to league start again this league. The main question I have is that I remember using SRS and the Holy Flame Totem following your guide early last league, the question is would that still be a valid choice instead of zombies or, even with the nerf, do you think zombies will be better (I don't mind the more spamming the button.)

are there possibly a few step-by-step pictures of how to level passives for Pledge of Hands / EB & MoM?	Posted by F3inkost#5386 on Dec 11, 2019, 11:15:55 AM Quote this Post
" Reactor52 wrote: Any thought on using SRS in this build? Or, is that just a whole different way to go? I'm using SRS during leveling, SRS+minion damage+infernal legion, swapping out of them when I switch to Spectres Act 5. I have used then together with fire-based minons w combustion in a 4 link. W flesh offering it could work but would not recommend, not a lot of overlap between Spectres and this. No real skill duration, no real benefit from all the life/defensive minion nodes, ...
