I've started working on a new spectre showcase series!

In my new spectre showcase series, I demonstrate different spectres using my Pure Spectres, double clusters build.

Each video shows endgame bossing and mapping. The video starts with a gem overview and Mino kill, then I run a T16 Promenade with 4x added monster sextant mods and legion, breach, elder, ambush scarabs. I also give the pros and cons and end with a brief summary of the spectre.

Slave Driver was a popular request on Youtube, so it's the first one!

Let me know if you like the new style of video :D

PoE 3.11 - Spectre Showcase: Slave Driver

Well from what i've read in the wiki - armor has extremely diminishing returns in the game and is only effective against multiple small hits while doing basically nothing against big hits.
~TLDR it doesn't matter if you get hit by 1000 or 5000 damage armor will reduce a roughly equal flat amount like say 300 and the reduction only scales with extreme amounts of armor.

I think you are way underestimating the value of armor. You are 100% correct that armor is basically only good against many small hits, it does almost nothing against big hits. However, when people are saying they are getting "one-shot", 99% of the time they are wrong - it is actually many small hits that are killing them. What happens is that mobs all fire projectiles or melee hit at the exact same time, so it looks like you are getting one-shot, but you are actually getting hit by 20 shots hitting all at the exact same time. And that is where having good armor makes a huge difference.

It depends on your playstyle and experience level, but most players DON'T die against bosses - it's against the mobs in the maps that they make a mistake in positioning and die. Boss attacks are generally telegraphed and easy to dodge. So I guess everyone should ask themselves - where do I die? In maps, or against the map bosses? If the answer is in maps, then armor is a huge help. If it's primarily against bosses, then block chance would be a better investment.

However, that being said, I went for both ES and armor on my build. I have 5000 armor, 6500 HP and 2800 ES (I use devouring diadem and MoM). So having over 9000 EHP and high armor makes me super super tanky, I love it! Oh and 50% block chance too. . . My DPS per spectre is only 1.3mil each, but that is plenty for all content.

Hi,

Is Kay, or someone else, able to clarify what the best way forward is with regards to Cluster Jewels? I've seen the video from Kay advocating the dual overshock approach giving 90% more DPS, but then I saw some posts about overshock potentially not working with skitterbots? If this is true, should we be looking at the minion jewels?

Also, does + attack speed on a ring effect your spectres and other minions, or just your attacks?

Thanks,
