↖ Understanding the Spectre

• Spectre Shopping: In Affliction league, you can buy corpses from the Wildwood vendors. These aren't your run-of-the-mill corpses; they are Spectres, brimming with potential.
• Beyond Minion Builds: Forget the notion that Spectres are only for minion-focused builds. We will show you how they can be a game-changer for any build.

 

↖ The Setup

• Zealot and Vitality Spectres: We are rocking two Spectres – one dishing out Zealot Aura with a 30% crit multi and the other providing Vitality Aura and endurance charges. Talk about a dynamic duo!
• Four-Link Setup: The secret sauce is a four-link setup: Raise Spectre, Minion Life Support, Meat Shield Support, and Elemental Army. This combo ensures your Spectres are tanky and stick close to you.
• Life Flask Modifier: Use a life flask that also heals your minions. This might sacrifice an instant flask, but it's worth it.

 

↖ Perfect Spectre Pairings

• The Perfect Warlord: A must-have for any Spectre setup. This bad boy not only gives endurance charges but also casts a Level 20 Vitality Aura, keeping everyone healthy and happy.
• Other Spectre Options: Depending on your build's needs, there are tons of Spectre choices, like Perfect Hydra for Hatred Aura or Perfect Spirit of Fortune for lucky lightning damage. Tailor your Spectre choice to complement your build's strengths.

 

↖ Keeping Your Spectres Alive

• Elemental Army: This gem is a lifesaver, boosting your Spectres' resistances to the max.
• Flask Usage: Remember to use your life flask regularly to keep your Spectres in tip-top shape.

 

↖ Spectre Options for Every Build

• Damage-Focused Builds: Opt for Spectres that provide auras like Hatred or Wrath.
• Survivability-Boosting Builds: Look for Spectres that offer defensive auras or specific utility, such as endurance charge generation.
• Specialty Spectres: Some Spectres provide unique buffs like increased impale effect or additional physical attack damage – perfect for niche builds.

 

↖ The Spectre Strategy

• Choosing Wisely: Pick Spectres that align with your build's strengths and weaknesses. For example, a physical damage build can greatly benefit from the Perfect Guardian Turtle's Determination Aura.
• Experiment and Adapt: Don't be afraid to try different Spectres and setups. The versatility of Spectres means there's always a combination that can elevate your build.

 

So, there you have it – your guide to making the most out of Spectres in PoE 3.23. Whether you’re a seasoned veteran or a newcomer to the Spectre game, these ghostly allies can bring a whole new dimension to your gameplay. Experiment, have fun, and watch as your build reaches new heights of power.
