After 48hrs of playtime, this is where SSF will take you with Kay's wonderful guide:

Level 92
running T13, then T14+ when one drops
100+ atlas completed
A4 level, SSF is a bitch to spawn them
Delve at 120 depths, no minion node found yet
30+ T2 seeds ready to be planted (will wait for patch)
Sacred Grove fully equipped to grow T2-T3-T4

5Link Spectres, Baranite Preachers, - 3 Spectres
I lost 1 at Synthesided lvl80 encounter and 1 at Hunter Conquerer A4
They simply do not die during mapping (of course, no ele reflect maps)

Scale of Esh is a good tank, and can sometimes be excellent boss DPS, but it's very inconsistent and has very poor clear speed. I would suggest Slave Drivers, they are much better clear and very strong boss DPS. They have low HP, but that's fine until you get to end game (Sirus, Elder, etc). Later on when you get to end-game (6L chest with +1 spectres) you can switch to Redemption Sentries, which give excellent DPS and are super tanks (but they are only good with end game gear!)

Ill try the SDs, should i go pure spectre or continue with minions and base build? I am still using the tabula rasa.

Any tip on this build with Pledge of Hands?

Stay base build. Many people have done endgame with base build. Pure Spectres is (expensive) endgame build for big currency investment. But you need to get the important parts to work well (diadem, trigger wand, 4 spectres).

PoH build is has similar DPS to Pure Spectres but you can only use spell spectre like SD. It's also really squishy...

Thanks, I will stay base build and no PoH.

What is the diadem?

New spectre guide is super squishy, any updated how to make the build more defense?

I am using Enduring Cry and Bone Offering but still with 6,7k life I got oneshotted too much time

Take glancing blows and a shield 5% life on block. Boosted my survivability big time

Hi Kay and fellow summoners,

Just a quick message to thank you Kay for the guide, I have updated to Pure Spectre version a few days ago and it's feeling really good. One of the rare league where my kickstarter is sticking all to the endgame.

Just got my 5th spectre, 2 conquerors away from my first A5 Sirus, I'm quite confident.
Next upgrade would be to go from cheap to final setup for my AG, and to craft my +1 spectre armor with Harvest crafts to make it perfect.

@kayella Please, don't neglect your fans doing Spooders&Spectres :(
Its the most fun build version and its still not ready :(

Roughly how many Raise Spectre gems ought you need to vaal to get one to level 21?

I have done 12 so far, levelling another 6 right now. I do have one sat in my stash for the temple double corrupt - I assume they can get to level 22 that way, RNG depending of course.

If you use meat shield instead of feeding frenzy on your animate guardian, your spectres are aggressive! Fixes the bad AI

Hi, love the build and want to make my next summoner using it!

I wanted your thoughts about dropping one of the spectres for an Arena Master, as they give huge buffs to movement speed and attack/cast speed. It might lower the overall damage by dropping a spectre, but the big movement buff might be worth it?

Has anyone experimented with it?

That's what I was thinking about but how about not being able to give my spectres frenzy charges? It'll lessen their DPS
