Hi Kay, I've got few questions for solar guards and overall spectres

1. What is your opinion which spectres are better for mapping SG or SD?

2. I've played SG spectres during legion league and I noticed that I used different support gems than you. I used elemental focus and controlled destruction instead of conc. effect and deathmark, so what is the difference between those and yours pros and cons?

3. I noticed that you are using LMP instead of GMP and I'd like to know why.
Isn't GMP beter for mapping? And what do you think about using Slower projectiles for bosses instead of gmp or lmp?

4. Which spectres are better for blighted maps if you are doing them. (SG OR SD) and are you using only chisels and oils on blighted maps or even alchs or something else?


1. I think SG is a better mapping spectre because it has a long range fireball. The special beam can also clear whole packs.

2. SG uses 'fireball' so Conc Effect will support their damage. It's 54% more compared to 49% more on Ele Focus.
Deathmark is important for boss killing. If you mark a boss with dm, you can move until the boss is offscreen and the spectres will keep attacking. The spectres can even be offscreen. If you move away from the boss without DM, your spectres will leash back to you.

3. If you use 5 spectres, there is enough coverage with LMP. At level 20, it only has 6% less damage, so you can kill bosses without a gem swap. GMP is a little overkill and does 26% less damage.
I actually prefer to use Awakened Fork because LMP and GMP are both bad for indoor maps.

4. SG is better. SD range is too short and monsters get too close to the pump. If you use PoH, GFR is better because mag orb pierce. Chisel and oil is most profitable because it affects the chests. alch only changes loot explosion.

Hi ther, Kay, it is Coronamancerㅿ

As you are much more experienced in this build i have few question with hope you will clarify few things for me.

All related to PoH variant

1) How big is adding ele weakness curse to ele-equilibrium + conductivity setup? Basically we can get +1 free curse using awakened curse on hit w/o loosing any points on tree (mb smth in PoB can tell dps increase?)

2) Is unnerve on "master of fear" cluster jewl worth going through ? For now I used renewal and dread march medium cluster. Vicious bite with +50% crit is 100% useless as you told me in game right, no way to scale any crit on SDs?

3) How good can be -lightning res on AG if we use ele weakness / ele-equilibrium / conductivity. For now i just using basic leer cast + kingmaker + ephemeral garb + victarios and southbound. AG was only one time close to death on 30ish % hp in simulacrum but GGG nerfed already mob dmg. And you can save him any time by gloves craft "100% life recovered while u focus".

4) Stupid question but SD whip is spell right? So minion accuracy rating on passives is basically useless too ?

5) Eye Jewls with blind on hit with attacks and taunt work only with zombos right? Never saw SD taunting anybody while zombos do it frequently.

TY VM for your work and updates, looking forward for future tweaks and videos <3


1. It gives about 13% more damage.

2. I'm thinking about this. It might be better to have renewal on medium as well as large to get 20% chance of DD. Spectres don't need power charges in mapping and it's very hard to give them charges in boss fights, so Vicious Bite is useless (it works for other minion because they use host/carnage chieftain to spam charges).

3. -9% lighting res is good. If you find my old AG guide, it has -9% helmet. But now the content is super riipy, so I prefer Mask of the Stitch demon to keep it alive.

4. Taunt and Blind only work for attack, not spells. So SDs can't proc.

Hey guys, did you find anything better then EVF from the new spectres when used with spiders?


Any tanky + hard hitter is good. So EVF is my choice. Thaumaturge is really good against bosses that don't move. Esh spider is also good.

But I think Esh Spider + esh spider mini me + Arakaali spiders could make people sick. haha.

* Actually there is another reason EVF is recommended. I don't actually mention it in any guide. The EVF can actually proc ignite. For mapping, it doesn't mess up spider poison kills, but for bossing, they can kill bosses without poison or player spell.

Which build is considered the top tier. Im leaning towards the spectres/spiders but before i invest too much i figured id ask. My first time playing spectre. Loving it so far.


Spectres and Spiders is tanky, fast and has good boss damage. The build has a lot of sustain and feels very safe. It can be a bit hard to use because the EVF spectre is slow like a snail. Not too expensive. I play this version.

Pledge of Hand EB & MoM has the best damage. Every spell casting spectre will be good and the top end spectres will delete bosses. The defense is a little low. Expensive build for the full version.

i would like to add baranite sisters for the map clearing option, they are my go to option after trying pretty much any other caster spec


Interesting. I'll have to look at them again. Do you think they are better than SG or GFR for mapping (with PoH)?

do you want to update your builds more? I tested the SD build but the SD spectra died in every map.


now i play with the spiders i only find that the enhanced vaal Fallen are very difficult to get. I also check your profile every now and then, but only the level changes there, not the equipment.


The easiest way to get EVF is do Alva missions to get a temple quickly.

I don't change my gear because I'm super poor this league. Most of my gear is day 1 stuff I bought for 1c :(

I've found another clear option, which seems to work quite well on T16 maps: Dancing Duo.

Here's a video with a T16 map clear (including Delirium encounter): https://youtu.be/D-CydibSz7o

Staying alive is a bit challenging, but I'm sure will get easier once I upgrade some gear and gems. But for Sirus probably will need to use something else, as I don't have a solution for keeping the swords up between phases.


Hm, maybe I can theory craft a 'swords and spectres' build? :)

If the duo is for map clearing, then you don't need them up for bosses. Just rely on the spectres.

I'll looking into this as a build option. Thanks for reminding me about duo.

Hi Kay,

I have an idea of using sire of shards for mapping (with or w/o LMP, GMP) and switching to PoH for bossing.

Base on your opinion, which spectre will fit that strategy ? BT, Templar war maiden, synthesys spectres or ... ?
