How Not To Lose Your Spectres | PoE 3.23

[Prof_Pangloss]

The new specters are so good that a lot more builds should take advantage of them, and hopefully the increased awareness of specter jank means a renewed push for better

[Hoskera]

I love the idea of playing minion builds but managing the jank makes it not worth it to me.

Just wanted to express this video is the sole reason I haven't abandoned current Settlers league where they introduced spectres again and it was this straw that helped me to cope with the losses and get 40 challenges. I've lost several divines in spectres due to this stuff and it was heartbreaking at a time. Eventually I've still quit after losing 7 div tiger, but at that moment 40 chalenges was done so whatever, gg.

I was playing with spectres first time and had the greatest time in Poe still (both league and build were fantastic), but never ever EVER I'm doing this kind of anxiety torture to myself till they rework this abomination of "gaem mechanic".

Bless this video. I'd never went for a minion build and am now. I love it but holy hell spectres are a pain to learn, and believe it or not your video 9 months ago is the first i've seen to encapsulate the issues and explain what to watch for. Thank you, saved me lots of pain.

I got all the right spectres today, after I used Raise Spectre on them I forgot to change the keybind back to Haste(with divine blessing) so I did an entire map pressing Raise Spectre on everything on the ground :)
Lost 2+ divines worth of corpses from desecrate pool xD

I believe. There could be an area added to the game as well. Possibly a cemetery in the Menagerie. Where great beasts now lay. Here you would be able to place your corpses. Then they could be summoned via your spectre gem at any time you need it. And if you accidentally remove your gem or lower your level of raise spectre gem and lose a spectre that way. You would always be able to find that corpse you purchased placed back at that location in the cemetery.

Update is I lost my 2 more corpses. Removed my head piece which lowered my raise spectre gem and desecrated another while trying to get them in order when raising them to have pale seraphim first.

You can also only modify your gear in a city like the karui shore and you won't lose your spectres or AG

[skaels]

There's a bug where the Perfect Forest Warrior does not give the onslaught buff. This usually happens if you re-enter the instance, such as going to the woodlands to find wisps. I recorded video of it, it's happening regularly and there are only a few posts on the forums about it.

Edit: There's a bug where you lose spectres if you change specialization in the forest, i.e. going from Warden to Maji . This was just one person and maybe they just didn't see the corpses on the ground or something.

[Farpafraf]

props to ggg for designing the jankiest skill interactions of all time. Didnt think surpassing AG was possible but they really cooked with this

[Skullycute]

Heads up if you use Carrion Golem of Scavenging. It will consume your Spectre corpses (or any corpses in that regard) if it is in range of them so remove the gem to unsummon it to bypass this issue. The amount of stuff one has to take in regard to not loosing these Spectre corpses are a bit headache inducing.

God Bless you Sir. I can confirm the swapping your gear out in Town (as long as you keep the gems in order) and going back to HO works to keep your Spectres. Thank you so much for your videos.

[runfonkey]

I lost mine when I changed wildwood ascendancies.

Not sure what happened but when I changed ascendancies, all of my auras, my AG and my specters turned off.

I did not see the corpse afterwards. 😢

[francisstranieri]

I think if you lose the corpse anywhere away from the hideout, the corpse should appear on the hideout. Another important thing is that you should be able to recollect those corpse from the ground back into your inventory.

[benjamincl]

I wish they would make a tab or something for our spectre where we can just summon them once we made them. I think that would be really fun to have and big QOL for poe.
Thx for the video!

[lordofchaosinc.]

I guess if I want to swap out a specific one I'll take the gem out in the hideout, have them drop corpses then summon them in order and the swapped out one is left to despawn in the end.
I'm kinda worried they run into some Sirus storm or corpse explosion, like I lose my AGs all the time.

[palleppalsson]

Can't they just make the corpses untargetable by offerings and items that consume corpses.

[Mach]

My solution for spectre jank is just to reroll to a new class. I lost 2 perfect turtles and just decided Im done with minion builds 😂

[owa]

Last league, I bought a hat that had a +2 minion gem implicit and a +2 minion explicit and socketed a 21 raise spectre to get... 3 spectres because I forgot about the passive. However, it did solve all the weapon swap related nonsense.

[staticEOD]

I did it too today, rolled implicits and lost my dog, 2 divine mistake. Instead of corpses on the ground, they could give us account bound item in inventory, or just make spectre function like AG. you swap away, just recast on empty floor

[adrienleflem]

Thanks for the video
Unfortunately, i watched it because i lost my spectres 😅
Does it mean I can switch to another chest if I put the gems in the same order in the new one (in town)?
Thanks!
