Spoiler
+ very tanky (go hardcore!) + The spectres never die + fun AF and non meta - not fastest spectre without UH - needs some positioning (can't facesmash the keyboard) - not very cheap to get the most of it Mechanics

vulnerabilityWill amplify your physical damage by a lot https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Vulnerability Kitava's herald spectre : you can find them in acts 5 or 10, at the Cathedral Rooftop. They have 3 basic skills: cleave, leap slam and mortar. In this build we focus on the melee part, which is cleave + leap slam https://poedb.tw/us/mon.php?n=Kitava%27s+Herald Unending Hunger https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Unending_Hunger : Very offensive and expensive jewel. If you can afford this, you're done! Fearsome Force : This, together with pulverize, scales the aoe for a smooth clearing speed. https://pathofexile.fandom.com/wiki/Fearsome_Force How to obtain 5 spectres You will need: A level 21 corrupted Raise spectre gem A +1 minion/spell skills wand A +1 Raise spectre gems elder boots The unnatural Strength ascendancy node (+2 to level of all minion gem skills) until here you achieve a level 25 Raise spectre which allows you to summon 4 Then you need to acquire a +1 to maximum number of spectres Delve body armour to obtain the 5th spectre (drop only, from necromancer's excavation). Easy on trade leagues.     Gem links         Carrion Golem: This is a golem that adds physical damage to your non-golem minions, scaling even more our damage output. https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Summon_Carrion_Golem Victario's Charity: For frenzy charges! https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Victario%27s_Charity Defenses The Jinxed Juju: This is a very strong defensive layer of spectre builds, as it directs 10% of incoming hit damage to your spectres, effectively increasing your Effective Health Pool for hits on 10% more https://pathofexile.fandom.com/wiki/The_Jinxed_Juju Block! By using Mistress of Sacrifice together with Bone Offering and Glancing Blows, we can achieve a decent ~72% attack block + ~36% spell block whilst healing some life during block. This is one of the best defense layers of the game.. don't skip this even on softcore! (remember that dead dps is no dps). I generate corpses with desecrate hardcasted for boss fights that don't present many corpses https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Mistress_of_Sacrifice https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Bone_Offering https://pathofexile.fandom.com/wiki/Glancing_Blows Shield charge + fortify I use Shield charge + fortify to move around. I use Flame dash for cliffs https://pathofexile.fandom.com/wiki/Shield_Charge https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Fortify_Support https://pathofexile.fandom.com/wiki/Flame_Dash Convocation Important for positioning https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Convocation Chaos version https://youtu.be/veXgEGNl0qk 3.14 PoB Pastebin : https://pastebin.com/vUCUwpQ9  Last edited by malaum#1328 on Oct 15, 2021, 1:07:03 AM Last bumped on Jul 12, 2021, 12:10:47 PM
