[3.13] Spectre necro. The tanky HC purity version.syndicate operatives. All gear explained

To see the jewels look in the POB

THe necro accendency, is very strong and a all time hardcore favourit in many different builds. For Spectras its insain since it gives +2 to minions level making it possible to reach lvl 25 spectras to optain 3 spectres+ 1 from passive tree and 1 from body armor to a total of 5.
Also the level of gems raise the defences and damage of all your minions.The bone barrier note gives some good phys mitigation( the weakest part of the build) 20% recovery rate. with a recovery belt that adds up to 44% more recovery from regen, flasks, and most vital, life recovered on block from bone offering and shield. THIS IS THE KEY DEFENCE OF THE BUILD
Mistress of sacrifice. gives Bone offering to you at 50% of the value, this is still huge meaning 19% attack and spell block+ 400 hp on block. with offering effect(25%) on chest and recovery belt this translates into. 864 life on block and 28 block! if you then add the 5% from shield on block(7% with belt) you easy recover more then 1k pr hit. in my build as example i got 70% offering effect, and 22% on belt. with 9.4k life. and 100 flat recovery on shield. so thats 937 from flat ons shield and bone offering + shield % recovery 667, to a total of 1604 hp on block!

the build uses Glancing blows, this got nerfed but is still stong when you got recovery on block. meaning that even thoe you take damage the % recovered makes you heal more then you get damaged. i have managed to eat entire bearers packs in t16 maps without even seeing my hp move.

on top of this the Animate guardian gives with propper gear fortify to you and your minions + aoe blind. resulting in a very potent layer of defences!

The skill tree.
here you follow my pathing getting life, and the 2 clusters for max res, i would suggest going the reduced shock route(i got immunity from watchers so i go ignite) since that + Arakali makes you 80% reduced effect of shock) also the soul of steel notes gives alot of armor % and some res. with decent armor items on all gear your get around 6k armor. that might not sound of alot, but with 10% from accendency, 12% from endurance charges, 10% from chaos golem, and almost 9% from watchers, the reduction in phys damage makes the 6k armor absorb a large amount of damage, even from hard hits. i have by accident tanked some big boss slams and it was fine, but i would not recommened it! also the bonebarrier skill is used on move bottom so its up most of the time adding a 2500 absorbing shield to your hp pool.

also the tree offers a decent amount of res+ the cluster jewels, so gearing is very easy. i ran for long with like 200 to all res since i simply had to much res :D, this is key to getting good items since you only want the vital mods + some cheap crafted chaos res ect.

Utility
Bone barrier(from accendency) you put on move bottom, so its up most of the time.
Wand: desecrate, bone offering and tempesst shield. tempesst shield you use lvl 1, higher is bad since it can ele reflect. both bone offering and tempesst shield you can get in diverent version granting more block. remember to have trigger craft on the wand.

Boot: flamedash, convocation, enduring cry, second wind. not much trick to this, you self cast enduring cry when ever you feel the need. mainly on bosses.
Poachers mark: anywhere you want, i got it in helmet. this mark, is extremly powerfull and key to getting good damage. it grants alot of reduced damage to target, and life on hit to the spectras. also most importently it grants frency charges. each charge grants your minions 15% more damage, i also use this to direct my minions since they will attack the mob you tag.

Auras: glove. crafted with +1 purity of fire, ice, lighting+ enligthen. you need like enligthen lvl 2, to fit em in. if you get enlighten lvl 4 or maby +1 all gems on glove corrupt you can acculy use a vitality on a ring at low lvl( this is only good if you get the heist version that grants % damage with quality)
Dread banner you can put where you like, i got mine in the shield. this gives your minions alot of impale chance, and impale effect+ defencive since enemys got less chance to hit, stacked with blind from the animate guardian your pretty hard to hit.

Minions:
Spectres. Bodyarmor. Raise spectre. spell echo, greater volley, brutality, impale, vicious projectiles. in that order of importance.
You can get the anomulus spell echo since it gives cast speed, and the minions dont do spell damage. also impale can come in divergent to add impale chance. this is needed if you use awakende vicious proj. i use divergent vicious proj since that grants impale chance. the strongest possible setup uses awakenede brutality and vic proj. but do your math about what gems you need to cap impale chance.

The key here is to reach lvl 25 spectras. it can come from gem lvl + accenency + to spell or minion gem on gear and empower support.

The syndicate operatives explained: this is a minion that have a default melee attack and a ranged spell. however it gets triggy since they spell cast a physical projectile attack, so it scales off attack, not spell.
the minion deals almost no damage vs melee enemys but using the ranged attack the skill can clear 2 screens away. also the greater volley gives a shotgunning effect of the projectiles so its huge for damage and clear. the ideal range is like 2 meters to the target for max damage.

Helmet: raise zombies and animate guardian, meat shield.
pref a helmet with minion life, and minion damage support is a bonus.
this makes your primary wall of corpses good and they do some damage to. as soon you get decent minion life jewels and high lvl of the gems they never die.

Animate guardian explained. you start with the regular 1c uniques for the guardian(helmet, staff, boot,) +what ever glove- body armor you want(good uniques here to).
the endgame guardian is semi expencive but its worth every penny.

Mask of the stitched demon( this is incursion upgraded). grants life regen
based on energy shield.

bodyarmor: redeemer with nearby enemys are blinded. + bench craft 10% of life is gained as max energy shield. this means since the AG got so much life it gets immortal with the regen from the mask!!

KING MAKER. this weapon is insain, giving, fortify to you and the minions, cullting strike, crit multi, and item rarity. its made from the soultaker and heart seeker vendor recipy(google)

Boots: windscream grants +1 max curse.

gloves. corrupted with vulnerbility on hit. the bigboy glove also have the hunter mod intimidate on hit for 10% more damage.

Chaos golem. this grants 4% phys mitigation with the anomouls version thats 5%. pared with helmet ench it gives 10% total and is huge for phys mitigation. THe Golem is your most squicy minion but its easy to resummon.

For most part normal rares with life and res. alot of your soccets are blue so dont waist to much on trying to crome pure armor gear.
here is a list of really good choises

Also Lioneyes Remorse is a great shield
