Kay's Summoner Memorial Page | New Guide is linked inside!

I just tryed Uber Elder, as an attempt is pretty fucking expensive this league, and it still very easy with spectres... It is actually kinda amazing how old bosses (Shaper, Elder, Uber Elder) doesnt even really look like they supposed to have tripled HP?

Here is what looks like at the moment my 5 Spectres W&S gear setup after few upgrades :)

What sort of gameplay am i meant to be doing.
Like just running around, keeping my skeles up and placing armageddon brand and deathmark on things? whist using convocation too.

I played this build (the W&S version) in Blight and now in Metamorph, yet somehow even after the few Summoner nerfs the build feels even more powerful as in Blight. With about the same level and gear (maybe a handful more resistances and life rolls though and heavier focus on Lightning damage). And it's completely melting Atlas bosses for example the Veritania Boss just simply despawned in seconds..

So thank you so much for the build/guide, it has to be my favourite and will definitely return to play it in future leagues too! :)

I have a certain doubt though that the Blight version didn't use the Death Attunement Passive, or I just didn't pick it up back then as I got 3 Spectres at very high level (from gem). Yet in Metamorph I had 3 Spectres quite early while leveling (with the Passive). Just saying that the nerf to the amount of Spectres from the gem doesn't feel like anything at all and yet I was so afraid that it would take all the fun out of the build..

Pretty much, just try to stay a bit further away from the fighting and let the minions do the job for you. If you have the Trigger Wand setup enabled you can pretty much automate the rotation into one button Armageddon Brand spam.

Armageddon Brand will then act as a triggering spell for the spells in your Wand. If you have Convocation, Flesh Offering and Summon Skeletons in the Trigger Wand, Armageddon Brand will also cast those spells for you.

As for Deathmark, I've not used it as I don't have a slot for it in the 6-link for Spectres, but the build seems to work just as well without it.

Something is wrong my Slave Drivers aren't doing much damage and all my minions keep dying to metamorphs in tier 16s, (yeah i'm using bone offering, and no, the map doesn't has "enemies reflect elemental damage")

Thank you! i completely forgot about the trigger wand! i cant wait to craft mine!

Ive seen a lot of people not bothering with deathmark, instead just using SS - echo - minion dmg - feeding frenzy - ele focus and controlled destruction.

Just did Sirus, but after i failed 3 times i switched to Skeltons just for this fight..... and it was really easy. So maybe in the Guide a Sektion for 99% of the game, and a Sektion just for Sirus killing.

Would anyone be able to help me out with some tactics/advice? I'm running PoH and have 4431/1020 hp/es. Everything dies really quick with 4 slave drivers out and whatnot, but I have an issue of getting one-shot from metamorph bosses and sometimes the conquerors. Is my gear an issue? I'm following Kay's PoH passive nodes to the tee as well. Or is the PoH build just always going to get one-shot from things since there's not as much defensive stuff like the W+S variant?

Also if anyone can chime in, how much "slower" do things die with the W+S build in comparison to the PoH build? I'd like to be much tankier if possible but not at the cost of speed running maps. I'm only really having issues with bosses and not mapping.

Hi, I just tried Sirius and my spectres just ran into stuff and died immediately. Would love some kind of guide for the skeleton build you mentioned.
