" Invest a bit to get a fifth spectre. " Definitely Slave Drivers. " That got tested and wasnt good enough bc those monkeys need a Blood Magic Support to be actually good. Last edited by ElCatti#2529 on Jan 4, 2020, 8:40:23 PM

" Those are great suggestions. I'll add to it and hope it helps. The fight is sketchy no doubt. It was a hump for me as well. I did a few things: 1) Took damage options in ascendancy: dropped bone barrier and mistress of sacrifice, picked up commander of darkness and plague bringer. That was huge. When you do that, replace bone offering with spirit offering in wand. 2) Grab more damage to minions on wand, preferably with another mod like attack speed or move speed. Shop for +1 to minion and +1 to spell gem options and compare prices as both do the job. 3) Add minion DPS on jewels and jewelry etc, and if you do not have it already consider buying unending hunger, helps a lot. 4) To help compensate for loss of protection offered by bone offering, I invested in a shield with +1 to all res in addition to life on block 5) Got the Level 21 Gem so I could get the 5th Spectre. As geared now (you can see my profile and gear) I no longer need to port out for the fight and can kill him in one go. It took some bucks to get there though - at least for me. I am still new to Spectre but man now that I am geared up right I love it. Just face tanked a double damage Chimera and barely flickered. This is an amazing build once tweaked right. Good luck!! |

I don't Know if there are other dumbasses like me, but If ur trying to find a good base, don't spend 2ex on one with %spell damage if u plan to multimod it. You will not be able to craft minion damage with that. On the plus side, Annul was nice to me and got rid of it and now I have a wand with 22% minion cast speed, Minion damage, trigger, and +1 to spell skill gems. Wooohoo!

" I found that trying to shop for +1 wand with juiced minion stats was way out of my budget for the build. Wand
Spoiler
I think i picked this up for like 4 or 5ex. Ended up slamming the Fire as extra Chaos (dead stat) in the long run since i dont really see myself replacing the wand. Gloves and Rings
Spoiler
I picked all these up for between .5ex and 1ex each. Dont really need to stack res, but i opted for single res most of the time with high life just incase im in a map with Ele Weakness and all my minions die im still res capped. But definitely prioritized big minion damage on these pieces (which made up for the missing minion damage on wand). My next goal is to craft minion damage high life single res Vermillion rings, but my Bound Fossil luck is garbage. Other than that i actually swapped out Feeding Frenzy for Inc AoE and Conc Effect for super damage boost, PoB coming up with just over 300k dps per Spectre with 55k life, roughly in the 1.5m DPS area altogether. I wanted to keep Bone Barrier for the flat Minion Life and Mistress of Sacrifice with Bone Offering for capped block chances. Really only die to random 1shots and bad positioning.

So after my previous failure (going in to Sirus with fire-raisers and not switching out my arma brand for EE) and running out of portals at 5-10%, I went and took him on again today.
Got my first kill, and it was even at Awakened level 7. Died 4 times (3 if you exclude the immediate flame dash in to a storm upon entering on accident lol) and 2 of them were entirely my fault. One was the stairs. All in all, it was very smooth when I adjusted properly. I decided to use the suggestion of another user for the Lightning Vaal Advocates. Worked like a charm, none died at any point, and all in all was just very easy. Snagged myself a 3.5ex awakened support gem, sold it, and funded a full decked out high-end AG. Next up on the list is uber elder, should be a lot easier with the AG's culling strike. Huge thanks for the guide, it's been an enormous help. Next up is to save for a high end minion damage + attack/cast speed wand I think. Last edited by Dr_Wong#5549 on Jan 5, 2020, 8:14:06 AM

So ive been doing some experimenting, please correct me if im missing something.
Using this link setup, i replaced Zombies linked Minion Damage with Feeding Frenzy. I use conc effect in my spectres setup for more pure damage but lose out on Feeding Frenzy buff. PoB reports my zombies only really do about 37k or so DPS. But when i socket Feeding Frenzy in my spectres jump to almost 800k each with Deathmark/Feeding Frenzy/EE simulated as on. Doing a couple maps to see how much my dps fluctuates between the different setup. But in theory it should be beneficial over minion damage gem right? (on paper, Minion Damage gives me +58% minion damage, but feeding frenzy makes up almost 30% of that and buffs my spectres significantly) Last edited by DrPriapism#1899 on Jan 5, 2020, 8:46:23 AM

Can take down Sirus on A8 no problem but the damage is not that insane. What else can I do to get more damage?
