Any good spectres?
Discussion
Anyone got a good spectres? About to swap to Ed contagion but was so excited to play solo levelling, this feels more like solo sludge fest.

Damn...not sure about the AI...but these look sick...it's like a volcanic fissure from POE 1 with a bloody explosion....

I can’t tell if this one is a meme or not. ED/C does almost enough on its own so I have no issue spending 130 spirit on this big beauty.
Tanky, hosts a drone swarm, sprays poison on hit aoe.
Big fan of Quadrillas, but the spirit cost is quite steep at 100.
I grabbed Regurgitating Vulture from Deshar Act II.
They create a poison cloud, shoot a projectile attack and they also explode corpses
I have no idea if their damage is good because everything feels unkillable right now, but their AI is pretty decent and they aren't slow.

how does poison limit for minions work?
Lost Zealots from act 2 looked pretty cool too
Well, testing in progress. To test fast I need to get into endgame. Some Spectres are strong, but too slow with thier movement. That said Frost Wraiths from Cemetery is really good. They have good damage and have a slam AoE around them. They TP to enemies as well. High freeze chance.
Unless there are some specially broken ones, imo best one for Lich will be a Chaos/Poison damage minion this would allow you to use Withering Presence for full value (%50 more damage)
Do you have any examples of those? I'm still in early campaign, but tested a couple of them so far and none were even close to just a bunch of snipers or cold mages, and I don't want to waste too many skill gems on testing (yet). Something with synergy with ED/C might be good for leveling, but I'm a bit lost on where to look next.
Did a lot of testing in standard yesterday.
Venomous crab matriarchs are my pick so far, decent damage and range and chaos based.
For bosses, dynamite miners are better than crabs but way too slow for clear. Also eye cancer.
Crested behemoth is terrible and I'm sad :(
Cerebic bat has a really, really really strong chaos attack that...it never uses so not great.
Plague harvesters surprisingly strong for single target.
Cultist archers hot hard, but way too slow.
Ziz was using a plague brood mother one or some such and that looked fun but can't comment on strength.
In all honesty, I think spectres in absolute terms aren't in a great place, but in relative terms that's a summary of what I've tested.
Give the cultist archers ingenuity and they will pop out spores frequently
