{3.2.0} Spectral Gods: [Life Based Spectre/Golem Hybrid Summoner | Clear Speed | End Game Bossing]

Hey Matt, great guide. Looking for a bit of critique on my character, Senayi. Anything that you can think of that I should improve?

Here's my gear so far:



And once I hit 70 I'll be using a scourge claw. I believe with this gear setup I'm overcapped, even for red maps with ele weakness. Although at some point I would like to swap out my amulet for a Bloodgrip with +1 curses, or maybe that is unnecessary?

The only other problem I can think of at the moment is that I have roughly ~3800 life and about ~500 mana left after reserving 50% with Haste. Is this normal, or is there anything I can do to remedy it?

Thank you for reading, hope everyone has a good day.

Hey matt great build guide u have there. I'm totally new to this kind of summoner build but i'll definitely give it a try since it looks cheap af. I want to build it in mf version so will full set of mf gears still work right ? I mean will it clear t11,12 maps effiently ?
Tks for reading.

As a hybrid, I had trouble fitting in shield charge+fortify into the build, so I didn't..

Basically, the only required items are Bones of Ullr and Vis Mortis for the extra spectre. Nothing else actually gives you more or less dps. You can keep the minion +dmg rolls etc with IIQ/IIR. The only issue would be balance of IIQ/IIR and resists/hp.

I would suggest going the way sarahschneider went (see page or two back for replies) as I think that provides solid choice for MF build (and is not so different to matts guide)

I'd use a bone helmet with +2 or +3 to minions, life and resists to make zombies and animate bro more tankier and to increase the minion dmg by 40%, this means you need about 50 dex on gear.

Get a life and res abyss belt with some OP jewel it will be a lot better than the intimidate aura.
Optionally add lightning damage on jewelry so you trigger EE with shield charge too.

Also, see if you can craft Cata's increased minion damage affix on gloves, for min-maxing purposes only.

Abyss jewels are the single biggest upgrade Summoners got this league, period. To a point where I deviate from my usual build (which is usually very close to matt's) and tried to grab as many jewel sockets as I could just to emphasize on these new shinies; they're soo good. I'm not saying you should do the same, I'm saying that you should at least consider using them (matt has a new tree on his OP which emphasizes jewels and I highly recommend you try it out).

If you do want to make use of the new jewels, I'd suggest taking more jewel sockets including using the new Abyssal belt, be it Stygian Vise rare or straight to Darkness Enthroned. They outperform any other belt by quite a huge margin. Also, Belt of Deceiver doesn't work anymore with Solar Guards (or any other spell based spectres), since they changed Intimidate mechanic in 3.1.

As for direct comments on your build/setup. I'd say drop one Unending Hunger, you don't need two, just one is enough. Bisco's, Bloodgrip and Aylardex (with MoM) with +1 curse are the BiS for amulet for Classic Summoners in my opinion. So yes.

Devoto is fine early on and even until mid-late game if you don't plan on tackling/farming the harder content (guardians, red elders, shaper). The best-in-slot for helmet would be an Elder Bone Helmet with +2/3 socketed minion gems enchant (don't worry about +3, it requires an ilevel 86 Elder Bone Helmet), minion damage, immolate (optional), life and resists; or same mods with any other rare base with Flesh Offering enchant.

Don't worry too much about Scourge, I think mine has been laying around inside my stash tab collecting dust for a few days by now, and I farm red maps, guardians, and red elders quite often. Getting those fancy Abyss jewels are far more effective.

More of a generic question that i was hoping someone might know, the wiki appears outdated. Where exactly do bone helms drop so i can get my butt in gear crafting one lol?

Don't do it.
Way too expensive.
Just farm currency and buy a good one.

well, it's pretty cheap to throw an alch or a greed essence into one as I go. I've just noticed I rarely see the base drop. I'm kinda blocked into running t10-12s in the top right section so I imagine that's why.
