Mostly jewels at this point

Really enjoyed the build so far and after getting to 24 challenges for the first time in forever (joined a bit too late to get to 36). I'm gearing up towards killing Uber Elder 1st time ever as final target for this league.



I feel like build has more than enough DPS (running Solar Guards, but don't seem to lack single target at all), especially with lab enchants that more than make up for lack of increased damage on the rings. So to increase my eHP I respecced out of Necromancer Aegis and dropped Victario's for Lioneye's Remorse (tough thinking about Recover Life% on block shield instead, but this unique is more than capable) and with grabbing some extra life nodes I'm at 7.7k HP on level 95, with 76% ele res, 51/75 chaos/chaos over time, ~45% physical reduction and ~20% evasion. Dropped Plaguebringer as well in favor of Bone Barrier. Thinking also about using bone offering instead of flesh offering if my minions start dropping like flies during Uber encounter (and maybe swapping Bone Barrier for Mistress of Sacrifice then too).

If you take a look at my helmet it also 4% reduced mana reserved which is huge - I can socket an extra aura here, which brought me to think that I don't need Clarity and instead started using Precision since at least it adds a little bit of DPS to my Skeleton army (also with +1 amulet it's nice 3 casts to get those round 12 little man army).
I need to do some theory-crafting to see if it's enough to consider dropping controlled destruction in favor of fire penetration. Might as well go with combustion then instead of elemental focus while switching elemental weakness aura for Flammability to get even better synergy (or some defensive curse like Enfeeble or Temporal Chains).
One more bonus of that reduced mana reserved is ability to carry a banner - dread banner reduces accuracy of opponents and grants impale to my minions, so good enough just for carrying it on my back.

Looking forward to hearing everyone thoughts, especially if I'm missing something and/or should focus on something else, especially with Uber Elder in mind, this archetype (and PoE overall) seems to have so many little things to improve nowadays.

Slight edit: This gear and everything listed was more than enough, did couple of Ubers since then and ended the league on high note of 37 challenges, which is my personal best, thanks once again for fantastic build!

Any bow attack minions worth considering for 3.9 Barrage support?

EDIT: nvm looks like it won't support minions.

Thank you for a great guide. I have a few questions as im new to spectres.

How critical is Victarios Charity and what is the main reason to use it? It is a significant investment of a few skill points and a shield so i would like to understand it better.

I dislike shield charge personally. I prefer flame dash personally, would you recon 2 wands would be better choice for me? I would go for fire EE proc on brand and lightning/cold on minions. Any suggestions / concerns?

Thanks again!

You give power and frenzy charges to minions through the shield. It's extremely strong.
Shield Charge can give you fortify.

V 1.9 UPDATE (13/12/2019)
-POB updated for 3.9 (added Pantheons so make sure you use FORK for POB)

What's the consensus on reworked multistrike on minions that used to use it (golems, dervish, skellies, etc)? Has anyone really tested it in game whether it's still useful? Some say that minions will always animation cancel so it's a negative DPS change, but i'm not sure how to test it.

I am pretty sure it's still shit
