Kayella's build archive - Big DPS Summoner
Build guide as at 6 JULY 2019
Guide covers general spectre summoning with many mini guides for specific spectres. This spectre summoner build is designed to give you good defences, movement speed and big DPS. It is a cheap league starter that can clear Shaper/Uber Elder. The build can also be scaled and customised to your own liking and playstyle. This guide is divided into two parts: The 'league starter' is for people who are new to PoE, spectre summoners or are just interested in the build. With a modest amount of currency, you will have a character able to kill Uber Elder. It includes a detailed levelling guide, spectre summoning guide with video, a detailed breakdown on gear/items/gems and basic crafting guides. The 'advanced' section is for people who enjoy this build and want to push it further: more dps/more defenses/different spectres. It contains advanced crafting guides, information on using Animate Guardian, as well as alternate variants that have been submitted by other players. There are four recommend spectres, each with their strength and weaknesses.

BASIC GUIDE TO SPECTRES & SUMMONING
Spoiler
Important Notes (read this first)
Spectre level is incredibly important - a level 73 spectre has half the dps of a level 84. The level of your spectre is limited by 'Raise spectre', 'Desecrate' and the zone you raise them in, whichever is lowest. Example 1: Both gems at level 19: 1) Shaper's Realm, map level 84 2) Raise Spectre can raise spectres up to level 100 3) Desecrate can create corpses up to level 81 Result: Your spectres will be level 81 Example 2: Both gems at level 11: 1) Start of Act 9 (Blood Aqueducts), map level 61 2) Raise Spectre can raise spectres up to level 61 3) Desecrate can create corpses up to level 53 Result: Your spectres will be level 53 Use a +1 or +2 socketed any/spell/chaos gems item to boost your Desecrate gem level, allowing you to desecrate higher-level spectres. You can put this in your off-hand slot.* Now, Desecrate has been boosted to level 13 (11+2) and can create corpses up to lvl59. Your spectres will be level 59. Credit:@consecotaleo

Spell Dodge Shield with CWDT
Drop Necro Aegis passive and put Victario's Charity into your stash. Get an elder i85+ 'supreme spiked shield' for 4% spell dodge. We are looking for %life roll and cast when damage taken (elder mod), so we will only use a pristine fossil for this craft: NOTE: We lose frenzy charges but gain cwdt as a shield mod. You need to swap CWDT gem with Increased Duration.
Multimod +1 spectre chest
Thanks to Tusk_Luv for the Syndicate crafting. I couldn't have done this without his help. Youtube: Crafting a Best in Slot Body Armour for Big DPS Summoner build Turn on subtitles for a description of the process! You will need a +1 spectre chest, preferably a INT or INT/DEX base. It is adrop only item from azurite mine. Annul: only 1 prefix: +1 spectre. Craft: +x% to Quality Jeweller's: 6 socket. Fuses to 6 link. Remove: %quality Craft: Multi-mod Craft: life Divine: 80+ life Craft: +1 curse Craft: (your choice of suffix) USING ANIMATE GUARDIAN FOR MORE PROTECTION
Spoiler
An Animate Guardian can be equipped with gear and acts as a 'party buffer'. You can give your AG the Kingmaker axe which provides you and your minions with fortify (20% reduced damage taken) and culling strike. However, the AG can die easily if you don't have the right gear/gems. Video Guide: https://youtu.be/K-Mj_6EdQcc Turn on subtitles to see the description! Gear for summoner: You will need a +2/+3 minion gem helmet to increase AG's gem level and its HP: Gem links: 4th gem: Empower (more AG HP), Stone Golem (life regen) or Raise Zombie (more meatshield). Recommended gear for AG: Crafting Notes: A helmet with -9% fire res gives a much bigger dps boost than 15% increase from Leer cast. Take any helmet and fossil craft with pristine and scorched. You want to hit -9% fire res, and hopefully 1% life regen. Rare boots with 35%+ fire & lightning will res cap the AG. If you want a BiS option, you need to fossil craft. Buy any boots with 2% regen enchant (should cost 1-2c). Then use pristine and metallic fossils. Hopefully, you can hit 1% life regen and 35%+ lightning res. Alternate body armour: This is an expensive option for your AG (90-100c). Your AG will lose 5% regen from Gruthkul's, but will give your party immunity to critical strikes and being slowed below base level. Credit to @RoosterAfro for ideas on boot crafting for AG.

FORTIFY WITHOUT KINGMAKER AG
You will need these 5 items: Ichimonji The Vigil 20/20 Vigilant Strike 20/20 Fortify 20/0 Ancestral Call Equip 'Ichimonji' in your offhand slot. Put 'The Vigil' near 'Devotion' in the passive tree. How it works: 'Ichimonji' + 20/20 'Vigilant Strike' give 12s of Fortify. 'Ancestral Call' makes it easy to hit melee targets to proc Fortify. 'The Vigil' increases Fortify to 36s and shares with minions. 20/20 'Fortify' increases the time of to 40s. TIPS FOR DELVE/AZURITE MINE
Spoiler
Betrayal League: Video demonstration: Solo deep delve to 700 + fortify trick Delve has extremely high monster density and, if you go deep, rippy mods. There are many one-shots ready to kill you. So, here are some tips to make delving easier: 1. Run as fast as possible between encounters. Use phase run + quicksilver. If you go slowly, there is a large chance of getting one-shotted. 2. Completely clear around any encounter before you start (if possible) because random monsters can wander in and kill you from behind. 3. Offscreen clear the encounter. Summoners do not have leech/regen, so send your spectres in by attacking the encounter from distance. Stand at the very edge of the darkness and cast 3 storm brands; your spectres will attack anything that storm brand hits. (see: video) 4. Use 'Vaal Summon Skeletons' at the encounter. They will body block monsters, keeping your safer. 5. Use the defensive build. 6. Use fortify snapshot trick. At the start of the path, use your offhand 'Ichimonji' to proc fortify, then weapon swap back to your wand & shield to run the path. QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Spoiler
Why are my Fire-Eater's DPS so low in 3.7 compared to 3.6
Cannibal Fire-Eaters have been stealth nerfed. They're still good, but DPS is a lot lower. Explanation here: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/post-reply/2181275/page/168#p22031223
How about Bitterbind instead of Victario's Charity?
" Bitterbind only gives level 1 arcane surge, which gives 10% more dmg + 10% increase cast speed. Victario's Charity with Necro Aegis gives 12% more dmg + 45% increased cast.
How to activate 'Increased Minion Damage If You've Used A Minion Skill Recently'?
Any gem with the 'minion' tag will activate the minion jewels. Using Convocation and Flesh Offering are two main ways. This works before you craft your wand. After crafting 'trigger' on your wand and slotting Flesh Offering there, it will not activate the minion jewels. The jewel can only be activated by self-cast gems. So, the only way to do it is with Convocation, which has a cooldown of 2.35s (vs 4s for the buff)
Are there any map mods that cannot be done?
Elemental Reflect will instantly kill your spectres. MORE VIDEOS

Build guide as at 18 AUGUST 2019
9 AUG Currently working on an updated levelling guide. 6 AUG Update Pledge of Hands build: more survivability. lower cost. Note: Passive Trees in Levelling Guide have not been fully updated for Slave Driver spectres. This is the original Slave Drivers spectre summoner build. It is a cheap league starter that excels at boss killing while also having good defences, movement speed and map clearing speed. This guide is divided into two main parts: The 'league starter' is for people who are new to PoE, spectre summoners or Slave Driver spectres. It focuses on using a wand + shield, and can clear Uber Elder with a low budget. It includes a detailed levelling guide, spectre summoning guide with video, a detailed breakdown on gear/items/gems and basic crafting guides. The 'advanced builds' section is for people who enjoy this build and want to push the build to its peak. This section contains advanced crafting guides and endgame gearing to push into double digit DPS numbers*. It also contains the Pledge of Hands build. Lastly, it has alternative builds for using other spectres, such as Solar Guards. As Slave Drivers are not in Path of Building, there is a workaround included in the guide. The previous version of the build focused on Cannibal Fire-Eaters, which you can find in the build archive.

How to get 6-linked spectres for under 10c
A 6-link Vis Mortis typically costs about 6ex on trade and the price will remain stable for much of the league. If you are struggling to earn currency, there is a cheap alternative. Find the cheapest helmet with 'concentrated effect' and 'minion damage'. They can be as cheap as 5c. These act as gem supports, which means your 4L helmet is like a 6L! Then buy any Vis Mortis so you can get the +1 spectres. They usually cost 1c after the first weekend of a new league. Now you can enjoy 6-link spectres without having to spend 6ex. CRAFTING
Spoiler
Trigger Wand/Sceptre
Trigger will auto-cast any gems in your weapon when you use another skill, eg. storm brand. Once you get this, you will not have to self cast desecrate + flesh offering. You will need: one-handed weapon, 90%+ minion damage, 1 free suffix. NOTE: Avoid 'adds x lighting damage to spells' Craft 'trigger' (3c). NOTE: This craft comes from syndicate encounters and is rare; you may need to find a crafter for.
+1 Spectre Boots
A big upgrade over Bones of Ullr, these will have more life and movement speed. You will need: Two-tone boots 2-socket resonator bound fossil (+1 spectre) shuddering fossil (movement speed) NOTE: You may need to repeat the craft several times to get the stats you want.
+3 Minion Helmet
Your Animate Guardian gains a lot of life from 3 extra levels. This is a highly recommended craft. You will need: Bone Helmet with item level 86 1-socket resonator bound fossil NOTE: You may need to repeat the craft several times to get +3 to Level of Socketed Minion Gems. GEM LINKS
Spoiler
Body Armour
Slave Drivers do area of effect lightning damage. So we need 6 blue sockets. For more boss DPS, swap:
Helmet, Boots & Gloves
Helmet: 3 red and 1 blue. 1. Animate Guardian can be equiped to give party buffs. See: Animate Guardian. 2. Stone Golem gives you 105hp/s regen. 3. Dread Banner reduces enemy's chance to hit you. Boots: 3 blue and 1 green. Armageddon Brand is used to apply Elemental Equilibrium (-50% lightning res) and Conductivity (curse). It also has a chance to blind any monsters it hits. NOTE: Keep Armageddon Brand at level 1 Gloves: 2 blue, 1 green and 1 red. Wrath + Generosity gives minions 29% more lightning damage. Zealotry + Generosity gives minions 21% more damage and a 6% hp/s regen ground effect. Vaal Haste + Generosity gives an additional 43% cast speed. NOTE: We don't enable the Haste Aura. We will only use Vaal Haste as a self cast spell
Weapon & Shield
Weapon: 2 green and 1 blue. When you have a trigger wand: when you cast storm brand, trigger will auto-cast desecrate, flesh offering and blade vortex. This eliminates the need to self-cast them.
Why Blade Vortex?
If you have added fire or added cold damage to spells on your wand, Blade Vortex will be able to proc EE. This means you won't need to stop and cast Armageddon Brand while clearing trash mobs. Shield: 2 red and 1 green 1. Cast When Damage Taken + Steelskin will allow you take additional damage. 2. Phase Run gives +49% movement speed, phasing (run through monsters) and reduced visibility (monsters won't attack you). NOTE: The green socket should be unlinked. NOTE: Cast When Damage Taken should be level 15 NOTE: Steelskin should be level 18
Unset Rings
NOTE: Because this build reserves almost all mana, I recommend keeping both gems at level 1.
But how to use 2x 50% auras and 10% banner?
We have a total of -12% reduced reserve mana from the passive tree. LEVELLING GUIDE

Important Notes on Summoning
Spectre level is incredibly important - a level 73 spectre has half the dps of a level 84. The level of your spectre is limited by 'Raise spectre', 'Desecrate' and the zone you raise them in, whichever is lowest. Example 1: Both gems at level 19: 1) Shaper's Realm, map level 84 2) Raise Spectre can raise spectres up to level 100 3) Desecrate can create corpses up to level 81 Result: Your spectres will be level 81 Example 2: Both gems at level 11: 1) Start of Act 9 (Blood Aqueducts), map level 61 2) Raise Spectre can raise spectres up to level 61 3) Desecrate can create corpses up to level 53 Result: Your spectres will be level 53 Use a +1 or +2 socketed any/spell/chaos gems item to boost your Desecrate gem level, allowing you to desecrate higher-level spectres. You can put this in your off-hand slot.* Now, Desecrate has been boosted to level 13 (11+2) and can create corpses up to lvl59. Your spectres will be level 59. Credit:@consecotaleo Slave Drivers are in Act 5 - Control Blocks. 1. Portal to the Act 5 town and enter the Control Blocks. 2. Cast Desecrate. 3. Hold the 'a' key and check corpses. 4. When you find a 'Slave Driver', cast Raise Spectre once only. 5. You now have a level 41 Slave Driver spectre. 5. Go to the highest level zone you have access to (My Delve mine is level 83). 6. Unequip and Reequip your Raise Spectre gem to despawn the level 41 spectre. 7. Check yor Desecrate says 'can create corpses up to level 100'. 8. Cast Desecrate. 9. Hold the 'a' key and check corpses. 10. When you find a 'Slave Driver', cast Raise Spectre. NOTE: Take your time and be careful, corpses overlap and it's easy to raise the wrong one if you are rushing. Video demonstration: https://youtu.be/6r6lblhzi6E

The Animate Guardian is a 'support' minion. Unlike a spectre, it can be equiped with armour and a weapon. This allows us to give it items that give party buffs. At the basic level, it can be equiped with these inexpensive uniques that cost 1c each: Video guide on how to summon and equip your AG: https://youtu.be/V5MSR9bARg4 NOTE: If your Animate Guardian is killed, all the equipment will be lost!

You can equip your Animate Guardian with more expensive equipment for better party buffs: The Kingmaker axe will provides you and your minions with fortify (20% reduced damage taken), culling strike & +50% crit multi. We can also equip it with a -9% lightning res helmet so it will debuff nearby monsters. A high level AG gem will give it more life and survivability. You should also try to get a high % life regen. Video Guide: New video coming soon. Gear for summoner: You will want a +3 minion gem helmet to increase AG's gem level and its HP: Gem links: Minion Life (more life) + Empower (more levels). 4th gem: Chaos Golem (phys dmg reduction), Stone Golem (life regen) or Raise Zombie (more meatshield). If you can reserve more mana, you can also consider Dread Banner (nearby monster -21% accuracy) or Flesh and Stone (nearby monster blinded & take 11% less damage) Recommended gear for AG: Crafting Notes: A helmet with -9% lightning res gives a much bigger dps boost than 15% increase from Leer cast. Take any helmet and fossil craft with pristine and metallic. You want to hit -9% lightning res, and hopefully 1% life regen. Rare boots with 35%+ fire will res cap the AG. If you want a BiS option, you need to fossil craft. Buy any boots with 2% regen enchant (should cost 1-2c). Then use pristine and scorched fossils. Hopefully, you can hit 1% life regen and 35%+ fire res. Credit to @RoosterAfro for ideas on boot crafting for AG. Transition at 68 Path of Building Pastebin & Passive Tree

TIPS FOR DELVE/AZURITE MINE
Spoiler
Betrayal League: Video demonstration: Solo deep delve to 700 + fortify trick Delve has extremely high monster density and, if you go deep, rippy mods. There are many one-shots ready to kill you. So, here are some tips to make delving easier: 1. Run as fast as possible between encounters. Use phase run + quicksilver. If you go slowly, there is a large chance of getting one-shotted. 2. Completely clear around any encounter before you start (if possible) because random monsters can wander in and kill you from behind. 3. Offscreen clear the encounter. Summoners do not have leech/regen, so send your spectres in by attacking the encounter from distance. Stand at the very edge of the darkness and cast 3 storm brands; your spectres will attack anything that storm brand hits. (see: video) 4. Use 'Vaal Summon Skeletons' at the encounter. They will body block monsters, keeping your safer. 5. Use the defensive build. 6. Use fortify snapshot trick. At the start of the path, use your offhand 'Ichimonji' to proc fortify, then weapon swap back to your wand & shield to run the path. MORE VIDEOS

Build guide as at 28 SEP 2019
-- 28 SEP This summoner build specialises in using a small team of powerful spectres. It is a cheap league starter that excels at boss killing while also having good survivability and decent map clearing speed. The build focuses on Slave Driver spectres, but can be easily adapted for other spectres. It can be played in SSF, and will also work on PS4 & XBox. Thank you all for your comments and feedback. I do read everything, but due to the sheer number of posts, I can only reply to build mechanics-related questions. Previous leagues' versions can be found in the build archive. Slave Drivers vs Uber Elder | Wand + Shield build Slave Drivers vs Uber Elder | Pledge of Hands build Slave Drivers vs Shaper | Shaper at 100% in 3rd phase Slave Drivers vs Aul | 660 Depth | Pledge of Hands build Slave Drivers vs Uber Elder | Level 68 | Wand + Shield Slave Drivers vs Uber Elder | Deathless @ Level 68 | Pledge of Hands Comparison of Eight Spectres in T16 mapping More videos at https://www.youtube.com/KayGaming This is the standard build that works from a fresh league start on day 1. It uses equipment you can pick up or buy for cheap, and can be played in SSF. The build can clear Uber Elder with a modest budget and is scalable to extremely high DPS. It is also very flexible and will work with all spectres, even melee spectres. PASSIVES TREE & POB PASTEBIN

Cheap 5-link/6-link chest
Look for a 5-link/6-link chest with INT base & Screaming Essence of Greed.
Trigger Wand
Trigger will auto-cast any gems in your wand when you use another skill. This means you will not have to self cast desecrate + flesh offering. You will need: wand with 1 free suffix. NOTE: Avoid 'adds x lighting damage to spells' Craft 'trigger' (3c). NOTE: This craft comes from syndicate encounters and is rare; you may need to find a crafter for.
+1 minion skill gem wand
Getting +1 minion skill gem is pure RNG. The base wand can roll both minion and caster mods, so the possible mod pool is very large. However, there are some tricks you can do to improve your chances. You will need: A low ilevel Convoking Wand (I recommend mid 70s) Bound fossil 1-socket resonator Bound fossil increases the chances of getting a minion mod. Low ilevel base decreases the chances of getting a caster mod. NOTE: You may need to repeat the craft several times to get +1 minion skill gem.
+1 Spectre Gem Boots
A big upgrade over Bones of Ullr, these will have more life and movement speed. You will need: Any boots (two-tone preferred) 2-socket resonator bound fossil (+1 spectre) shuddering fossil (movement speed) NOTE: You may need to repeat the craft several times to get the stats you want.
+3 Minion Helmet
Your Animate Guardian gains a lot of life from 3 extra levels. This is a highly recommended craft. You will need: Any helmet with item level 86 (Bone helmet, preferred) 1-socket resonator bound fossil NOTE: You may need to repeat the craft several times to get +3 to Level of Socketed Minion Gems. GEM LINKS
Spoiler
Body Armour
Slave Drivers do area of effect lightning damage. So we need 6 blue sockets. For more DPS against bosses, swap:
Helmet, Boots & Gloves
Helmet: 1 red & 3 blue. 1. Animate Guardian can be equiped to give party buffs. See: Animate Guardian. 2. Zombies provide more minions for the Bone Barrier buffs. 3. Feeding Frenzy will proc the feeding frenzy buff (all minions gain +10% damage, +15% ms, +15% attack/cast speed). 4. Elemental Army applies -10% lightning res on monsters hit by AG & Zombies. NOTE: Zombies can cause lag on PS4 & XBox. I recommend replacing Raise Zombie with Summon Stone Golem or Summon Chaos Golem Boots: 3 blue & 1 red. 1. Wrath + Generosity gives minions more lightning damage. 2. Convocation teleports spectres to the necro. 3. Flame Dash is a get-out-of-trouble movement skill. Gloves: 2 blue & 2 green. 1. Blasphemy + Temporal Chains + Enhance combo reduces the attack/cast/movement speed of monsters. 2. Armageddon Brand is used to apply Elemental Equilibrium (-50% lightning res). NOTE: Keep Armageddon Brand at level 1.
Weapon & Shield
Weapon: 1 green, 2 blue. 1. Desecrate spawns corpses. 2. Flesh Offering consumes corpses to buff minions. 3. Vaal Summon skeletons for mass minions when you want it. Shield: 2 red, 1 green 1. Cast When Damage Taken + Steelskin will allow you take additional damage. 2. Phase Run gives +49% movement speed, phasing (run through monsters) and reduced visibility (monsters won't attack you). NOTE: The green socket should be unlinked. NOTE: Cast When Damage Taken should be level 14 NOTE: Steelskin should be level 18
Unset Ring
Level 1 Precision activate Commander of Darkness buff & gives a small boost to minion DPS. LEVELLING GUIDE
Spoiler
Notes on early levelling
Before spectres, level using Summon Raging Spirits, Holy Flame Totem, Phantasms and Zombies. Drop a Holy Flame Totem at your feet, then cast SRS. The totem will spawn Phantasms and give you a 6% heal. Zombies will run around and add some dps. Here's what it's like without zombies:

ANIMATE GUARDIAN
Spoiler
The Animate Guardian is a 'support' minion. Unlike a spectre, it can be equiped with armour and a weapon. This allows us to give it items that give party buffs. At the basic level, it can be equiped with these inexpensive uniques that cost 1c each: Video guide on how to summon and equip your AG: https://youtu.be/V5MSR9bARg4 NOTE: If your Animate Guardian is killed, all the equipment will be lost! The Animate Guardian can be equipped with even more powerful equipment for more investment. Check the Advanced section on how to do this.
Endgame Animate Guardian
You can equip your Animate Guardian with more expensive equipment for better party buffs: The Kingmaker axe will provides you and your minions with fortify (20% reduced damage taken), culling strike & +50% crit multi. We can also equip it with a -9% lightning res helmet so it will debuff nearby monsters. Gem links: Recommended gear: Crafting Notes: A helmet with -9% lightning res gives a much bigger dps boost than 15% increase from Leer cast. Any helmet + pristine and metallic. You want to hit -9% lightning res, and hopefully 1% life regen. Rare boots with 35%+ fire will res cap the AG. Buy any boots with 2% regen enchant. Then use pristine and scorched fossils. Hopefully, you can hit 1% life regen and 35%+ fire res. 🔰🌀✨ Video guides on youtube! https://www.youtube.com/KayGaming ✨🌀🔰 🔶🔷🔶 Kay's Summoner build guide: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3179145 🔶🔷🔶 Last edited by kayella#0845 on Sep 28, 2019, 12:53:11 PM

This build variants uses special interactions between several uniques to greatly increase player survivability while keeping spectre DPS around the 1mil shaper mark. It uses equipment which may be costly in the early league or simply not be available. The build can be significantly more expensive than the league starter.

HOW TO SUMMON SPECTRES WHILE USING PLEDGE OF HANDS
Spoiler
There is a trick to summoning your spectres one by one even though you have greater spell echo built into Pledge. 1. You must have a level 20/21 Raise Spectre in slot 1 of your Pledge. 2. Have a fully linked off hand (can be a wand), again have level 20/21 Raise Spectre in slot 1. 3. Desecrate & Summon with your off hand wand. 4. Swap back to Pledge. The spectre should not despawn if you did #1 & #2. NOTE: If you do not have Raise Spectre in slot 1 in both weapons, your spectres will despawn when you weaponswap.

ABOUT ELEMENTAL EQUILIBRIUM...
Spoiler
" https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Elemental_Equilibrium This means any spell that you use, eg. Armageddon Brand, will proc EE on all enemies that you hit. Your minions cannot proc EE, but they will benefit from its effects. Example: Slave Driver spectres use lightning 'flamewhip', which is 100% lightning damage. So, you want to hit monsters with either fire or cold damage. Self-cast Holy Flame Totem will proc EE: monsters will get +25% fire res and -50% lightning and cold res. Elemental Equilibrium appears as pink circles under monsters. ABOUT SPELL ECHO...
Spoiler
" https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Spell_Echo_Support This means that both the player and minions will benefit from the repeated cast, as well as the increased cast speed. Spell Echo will more than double your spectres' DPS. Note 1: Wand & Shield Build Spell Echo will cause Raise Spectre to repeat, so you need to remove it before raising spectres. Remember to put the gem back in when you are finished. Note 2: Pledge of Hands Build Spell Echo stacks with Greater Spell Echo. It will give a 3rd repeat with 105% more Damage and 150% increased area. See: official wiki for more details. ABOUT THE NUMBER OF SPECTRES...
Spoiler
1. RAISE SPECTRE GEM LEVEL The level of your Raise Spectre gem determines the base number of spectres. You will get 1 spectre from gem level 1-10, 2 spectres from 11-20, 3 spectres from 21-30 and 4 spectres at 31*. 2. DEATH ATTUNEMENT PASSIVE SKILL Death Attunement gives +1 spectre. It can be found at the top left of the tree. 3. ITEMS WITH +1 MAXIMUM NUMBER OF SPECTRES NOTE: +1 chest is a rare delve drop; it cannot be crafted. 4. INCREASING SKILL GEM LEVEL Unnatural Strength ascendancy passive gives +2 level to the gem. Items can also give +1 level to raise spectre or minion gems. Boots and Convoking wand give global +1. Helmet gives +2/3 only when Raise Spectre is slotted in the helmet. Empower 4 will give +3 levels if it's linked to Raise Spectre. HOW CAN I GET 6 SPECTRES?
Spoiler
It requires a lot of investment to get 6 spectres. Firstly you will need 4 spectres on the skill gem: 1. LEVEL 21 RAISE SPECTRE 2. +1 MINION GEM LEVEL WAND 3. +1 SPECTRE GEM LEVEL BOOTS 4. +3 MINION GEM LEVEL HELMET 5. EMPOWER 4 6. UNNATURAL STRENGTH ASCENDANCY Lastly, you will need +2 maximum number of spectres: 1. DEATH ATTUNEMENT 2. +1 SPECTRE CHEST FROM DELVE CAN I DO ELEMENTAL REFLECT MAPS?
Spoiler
In short, no you cannot do reflect maps. This build scales spectre DPS to the point where they will kill themselves in seconds. However, there is one exception: Risen Vaal Advocate. Risen Vaal Advocates (RVA) has a base 405% life. This makes them incredibly tanky and able to simple leech/regen their way through reflect maps. However, their DPS is much lower than Slave Drivers. There are several types of RVA, and the Lightning type is the most useful for both mapping and bossing. You can find them in the Atzoatl temple and Delve Vaal Outpost. NOTE: Lightning RVAs have a blue lightning + dark flame effect on their hands. T16 Mapping | 18% ele reflect: https://youtu.be/X_rAjVaHEx8 See: poedb for more details. CAN YOU CHECK MY GEAR? WHAT SHOULD I UPGRADE?
Spoiler
There are 3 things you need to do: 1. Check the gear sections in the Wand & Shield and Pledge builds for suggested items. 2. Make sure your spectres are in a 6-link. 3. Stack life on all your gear. You should have a minimum of 100 life on your gloves, belt, rings. Other items will vary depending on whether you are using uniques or rares. That's basically it. 🔰🌀✨ Video guides on youtube! https://www.youtube.com/KayGaming ✨🌀🔰 🔶🔷🔶 Kay's Summoner build guide: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3179145 🔶🔷🔶 Last edited by kayella#0845 on Sep 28, 2019, 1:00:51 PM

It is a complete re-build with a major emphasis on survivability. V2 includes a new tree, new gem links, new gear progression, new crafting & updated levelling guide. The PoB Pastebin has levelling trees included, as well as a Skitterbot workaround (added to Anatomical Knowledge). Version 1 (Evasion/Phase Acro) is accessible in the build archive. This summoner build specialises in using a small team of powerful spectres. This build is designed to work from a fresh league start. It can take you from day 1 start all the way to Uber Elder on self-found and self-crafted gear. The build is also extremely flexible: you can follow the build exactly or customise it to your preference, and it will work with all spectres, even melee spectres. Thank you all for your comments and feedback. I do read everything, but due to the sheer number of posts, I can only reply to build mechanics-related questions. Previous leagues' versions can be found in the build archive.

Cheap 5-link/6-link chest
Look for a 5-link/6-link chest with INT base & Screaming Essence of Greed.
Trigger Wand
Trigger will auto-cast any gems in your wand when you use another skill. This means you will not have to self cast desecrate + flesh offering. You will need: wand with 1 free suffix. Bench craft 'trigger' (3c). Note: This craft comes from syndicate encounters and is rare; you may need to find a crafter for this.
+1 Minion Skill Gem Wand
You will need: Convoking Wand Bound fossil 1-socket resonator Notes: The base wand can roll both minion and caster mods, so the possible mod pool is very large. Bound fossil increases the chances of getting a minion mod. Low ilevel wand decreases the chances of getting a caster mod.
+1 Spectre Gem Level Boots
You will need: Any boots (two-tone preferred) 2-socket resonator bound fossil (+1 spectre) shuddering fossil (movement speed)
+3 Minion Helmet
This craft is for the support minions, which are socketed in the helmet. You will need: Any helmet with item level 86 (Bone helmet, preferred) 1-socket resonator bound fossil GEM LINKS

Spoiler
Notes on early levelling
In act 1, use holy flame totem and zombies. The totem gives a 6% heal, so stand close to it. Your zombies will die occasionally, so you will need to re-summon them. Later, you will get skeletons. Summon skeletons at your cursor and stay safely out of range. In act 2, you will get access to skitterbots which you will link with infernal legion. They will handle most monster killing; just summon skeletons against bosses.

ABOUT ELEMENTAL EQUILIBRIUM...
Spoiler
" https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Elemental_Equilibrium This means any spell that you use, eg. Armageddon Brand, will proc EE on all enemies that you hit. Your minions cannot proc EE, but they will benefit from its effects. Example: Slave Driver spectres use lightning 'flamewhip', which is 100% lightning damage. So, you want to hit monsters with either fire or cold damage. Self-cast Holy Flame Totem will proc EE: monsters will get +25% fire res and -50% lightning and cold res. Elemental Equilibrium appears as pink circles under monsters. ABOUT SPELL ECHO...
Spoiler
" https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Spell_Echo_Support This means that both the player and minions will benefit from the repeated cast, as well as the increased cast speed. Spell Echo will more than double your spectres' DPS. Note 1: Wand & Shield Build Spell Echo will cause Raise Spectre to repeat, so you need to remove it before raising spectres. Remember to put the gem back in when you are finished. Note 2: Pledge of Hands Build Spell Echo stacks with Greater Spell Echo. It will give a 3rd repeat with 105% more Damage and 150% increased area. See: official wiki for more details. ABOUT THE NUMBER OF SPECTRES...
Spoiler
1. RAISE SPECTRE GEM LEVEL The level of your Raise Spectre gem determines the base number of spectres. You will get 1 spectre from gem level 1-10, 2 spectres from 11-20, 3 spectres from 21-30 and 4 spectres at 31*. 2. DEATH ATTUNEMENT PASSIVE SKILL Death Attunement gives +1 spectre. It can be found at the top left of the tree. 3. ITEMS WITH +1 MAXIMUM NUMBER OF SPECTRES NOTE: +1 chest is a rare delve drop; it cannot be crafted. 4. INCREASING SKILL GEM LEVEL Unnatural Strength ascendancy passive gives +2 level to the gem. Items can also give +1 level to raise spectre or minion gems. Boots and Convoking wand give global +1. Helmet gives +2/3 only when Raise Spectre is slotted in the helmet. Empower 4 will give +3 levels if it's linked to Raise Spectre. HOW CAN I GET 6 SPECTRES?
Spoiler
It requires a lot of investment to get 6 spectres. Firstly you will need 4 spectres on the skill gem: 1. LEVEL 21 RAISE SPECTRE 2. +1 MINION GEM LEVEL WAND 3. +1 SPECTRE GEM LEVEL BOOTS 4. +3 MINION GEM LEVEL HELMET 5. EMPOWER 4 6. UNNATURAL STRENGTH ASCENDANCY Lastly, you will need +2 maximum number of spectres: 1. DEATH ATTUNEMENT 2. +1 SPECTRE CHEST FROM DELVE CAN I DO ELEMENTAL REFLECT MAPS?
Spoiler
In short, no you cannot do reflect maps. This build scales spectre DPS to the point where they will kill themselves in seconds. However, there is one exception: Risen Vaal Advocate. Risen Vaal Advocates (RVA) has a base 405% life. This makes them incredibly tanky and able to simple leech/regen their way through reflect maps. However, their DPS is much lower than Slave Drivers. There are several types of RVA, and the Lightning type is the most useful for both mapping and bossing. You can find them in the Atzoatl temple and Delve Vaal Outpost. NOTE: Lightning RVAs have a blue lightning + dark flame effect on their hands. T16 Mapping | 18% ele reflect: https://youtu.be/X_rAjVaHEx8 See: poedb for more details. CAN YOU CHECK MY GEAR? WHAT SHOULD I UPGRADE?
Spoiler
There are 3 things you need to do: 1. Check the gear sections in the Wand & Shield and Pledge builds for suggested items. 2. Make sure your spectres are in a 6-link. 3. Stack life on all your gear. You should have a minimum of 100 life on your gloves, belt, rings. Other items will vary depending on whether you are using uniques or rares. That's basically it. This build variants uses special interactions between several uniques to greatly increase player survivability while keeping spectre DPS around the 1mil shaper mark. It uses equipment which may be costly in the early league or simply not be available. The build can be significantly more expensive than the league starter. It can only be used for spell caster spectres, not melee. PASSIVES TREE & POB PASTEBIN

HOW TO SUMMON SPECTRES WHILE USING PLEDGE OF HANDS
Spoiler
There is a trick to summoning your spectres one by one even though you have greater spell echo built into Pledge. 1. You must have a level 20/21 Raise Spectre in slot 1 of your Pledge. 2. Have a fully linked off hand (can be a wand), again have level 20/21 Raise Spectre in slot 1. 3. Desecrate & Summon with your off hand wand. 4. Swap back to Pledge. The spectre should not despawn if you did #1 & #2. NOTE: If you do not have Raise Spectre in slot 1 in both weapons, your spectres will despawn when you weaponswap.

End of 3.8 league
Spoiler
Welcome to my build guide. I specialise in spectres and have created two spectre summoner builds: Wand & Shield This build is focused on having high survivability while still having good DPS. It can take you from a fresh league start all the way to Uber Elder on cheap or self-crafted gear. This build is also designed to be playable on Solo Self Found and PS4/Xbox. Pledge of Hand / EB & MoM This build is focused on having massive DPS while maintaining good survivability. It is a showcase of the immense power of spectres, but it requires expensive equipment and rare uniques that are not available in early league. These two builds are frequently tweaked & updated thanks to the theorycrafting, suggestions and ideas discussed within the pages. If you have a question about the build, could you please post it here in the build guide? I cannot always answer questions in-game. 20 NOV: Added images for levelling trees to imgur: https://imgur.com/a/LRdO3bs. Added Jinxed Juju to W&S. 17 NOV: Back from holiday. 12 OCT: Updated passive tree for W&S build. Added DPS build option for W&S. Added anointments for W&S and PoH. Added pros & cons for W&S and PoH.

HOW TO SUMMON SPECTRES WHILE USING PLEDGE OF HANDS
There is a trick to summoning your spectres one by one even though you have greater spell echo built into Pledge. 1. You must have a level 20/21 Raise Spectre in slot 1 of your Pledge. 2. Have a fully linked off hand (can be a wand), again have level 20/21 Raise Spectre in slot 1. 3. Desecrate & Summon with your off hand wand. 4. Swap back to Pledge. The spectre should not despawn if you did #1 & #2. NOTE: If you do not have Raise Spectre in slot 1 in both weapons, your spectres will despawn when you weaponswap.

Special notes on summoning RVAs
There are several types of RVA. The corpses all look the same. The only way to know which one you have is to desecrate and raise the spectre. Lightning RVAs have a blue lightning + dark flame effect on their hands. If the RVA has a different effect, you need to go to another room in the temple or reload the vaal outpost and try again.

HOW DOES ELEMENTAL EQUILIBRIUM WORK?
" https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Elemental_Equilibrium Any elemental spell you use will proc EE on all enemies that you hit. Your minions cannot proc EE, but they will benefit from its effects. Example: Slave Driver spectres use a lightning spell. So, you hit a boss with Armageddon Brand which is fire damage. It will proc EE: monsters will get +25% fire res and -50% lightning and cold res. Elemental Equilibrium appears as pink circles under monsters.
WHY IS SPELL ECHO IN THE LINKS?
" https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Spell_Echo_Support This means that both the player and minions will benefit from the repeated cast, as well as the increased cast speed. Spell Echo will more than double your spectres' DPS. Note 1: Wand & Shield Build Spell Echo will cause Raise Spectre to repeat, so you need to remove it before raising spectres. Remember to put the gem back in when you are finished. Note 2: Pledge of Hands Build Spell Echo stacks with Greater Spell Echo. It will give a 3rd repeat with 105% more Damage and 150% increased area. See: official wiki for more details.
HOW DO I GET 1/2/3/4/5 SPECTRES?
1. RAISE SPECTRE GEM LEVEL The level of your Raise Spectre gem determines the base number of spectres. You will get 1 spectre from gem level 1-10, 2 spectres from 11-20, 3 spectres from 21-30 and 4 spectres at 31*. 2. DEATH ATTUNEMENT PASSIVE SKILL Death Attunement gives +1 spectre. It can be found at the top left of the tree. 3. ITEMS WITH +1 MAXIMUM NUMBER OF SPECTRES NOTE: +1 chest is a rare delve drop; it cannot be crafted. 4. INCREASING SKILL GEM LEVEL Unnatural Strength ascendancy passive gives +2 level to the gem. Items can also give +1 level to raise spectre or minion gems. Boots and Convoking wand give global +1. Helmet gives +2/3 only when Raise Spectre is slotted in the helmet. Empower 4 will give +3 levels if it's linked to Raise Spectre.
HOW ABOUT 6 SPECTRES?
It requires a lot of investment to get 6 spectres. You will also lose overall damage because you have to swap a damage support gem for Empower. Firstly you will need 4 spectres on the skill gem: 1. LEVEL 21 RAISE SPECTRE 2. +1 MINION GEM LEVEL WAND 3. +1 SPECTRE GEM LEVEL BOOTS 4. +3 MINION GEM LEVEL HELMET 5. EMPOWER 4 6. UNNATURAL STRENGTH ASCENDANCY Lastly, you will need +2 maximum number of spectres: 1. DEATH ATTUNEMENT 2. +1 SPECTRE CHEST FROM DELVE
CAN I DO ELEMENTAL REFLECT MAPS?
In short, no you cannot do reflect maps. Almost all spectres will die quickly because they do elemental damage and their DPS is much higher than their regen/leech. However, there is one exception: Risen Vaal Advocate. They have a base 405% life. This makes them incredibly tanky and able to simply leech/regen their way through reflect maps. However, their DPS is much lower than Slave Drivers.See spectre section for more details. T16 Mapping | 18% ele reflect: https://youtu.be/X_rAjVaHEx8
WHY DID YOU PUT * NEXT TO UBER ATZIRI?
The Slave Drivers will instaphase Atziri, but they will also instantly die if they hit the mirror clone. So you need to be very quick and careful with positioning your spectres. Here's a full run from 3.7: https://youtu.be/gRaieNyJgRg?t=150 At 2:50, one spectre hit the mirror clone and died instantly.
CAN YOU CHECK MY GEAR? WHAT SHOULD I UPGRADE?
There are 3 things you need to do: 1. Check the gear sections in the Wand & Shield and Pledge builds for suggested items. 2. Make sure your spectres are in a 6-link. 3. Stack life on all your gear. You should have a minimum of 100 life on your gloves, belt, rings. Other items will vary depending on whether you are using uniques or rares. That's basically it.
