Which spectres are you guys using? do i use 3 of the same? wich ones?

Check section 6.3 Or the FAQ.

I'd recommend Flame Sentinels.

Does srs minion instability explosion radius is influenced by the minion offence mastery - "minions have 30% increased area of effect".

Yes, it does work.

I don't know if Stormshroud is really worth it. It's a four divine jewel that, at most, gives you immunity to Ignite and Chill. Your pantheon can give you Frozen immunity, Tempest Shield makes you immune to Shocked, and the other elemental ailments like Scorch hardly ever come up.

Meanwhile, you have to get multiple specific jewels to make it work and have one of your Darkness Enthroned slots used up for Shock Immunity or else have like three such jewels elsewhere.

For that price its likely not worth it, you are right.

I didn't expect the price to go that high.
The First few days of the League it was somewhre between 20c-50c, which would be resonable.

I've been running this build, with some changes, for a few weeks now. So far I've killed guardians, Shaper, most conquerors, Atziri, and lately I've been trying on Maven. However, I just can't seem to get my damage up enough to deal with Maven's final stage - she easily gets off 3, maybe 4 memory puzzles which I simply can't keep up with.

I've anointed Whispers of Doom on my Tavukai and swapped spectres for Wave of Conviction with Flammability and Elemental Weakness on hit. Currently I'm working on finding Fenumus for crafting Aspect of the Spider onto my gear too. I've even gotten my Summon Raging Spirit corrupted for +1 level, and I have a +1 wand too (no luck crafting +2).

Do you have any advice for Maven, and the DPS check of her final phase?

don't anoint Whispers of Doom on Tavukai. Buy a Corrupted additional curses implicit Tavukai. it's fairly cheap. you can still anoint corrupted Testudo or Inveterate on Tavukai. If you can't get the damage up, that means you're scaling life too much. you can still scale using Minion Damage.

Basically every Gear slot you have can be improved.

your main damage improvements will likely come from better jewels.

try to get Ghastly Eye Jewels with
+# Maximum Life
+#% increased Minion Life
+#% increased minion Damage if you've used a minion spell recently

https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Sanctum/8knBwZIV
(if they are to expensive, untick to inc minion Life in the Filters, they start at 1c then)

You got quite some resistances on your current Jewels and nearly noen on your other gear.
Try to get Gear with some Resistances and Life (and Stats when needed) to be able to replace the Jewels and still be res capped.

Try to get Armour

Gloves (Life, Resis, open Suffix or Chaos Res): https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Sanctum/pgJ9rkJi0

Boots (Life, Resis, MS, open Suffix or Chaos Res): https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Sanctum/Okg2KnrHE

Rings: (one with Flammability on Hit and one with Elemental Weaknes)
Ring 1 (Flammability, Life, Resis, open Suffix): https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Sanctum/Xd3Z79RuP

Ring 2 (Elemental Weaknes, Life, Resis, open Suffix): https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Sanctum/RkJ0RRWH7

(Drop your Hextouch Setup when you got the Rings, just use wave of conviction to proc the curses)


Once you have your Resistances and Stats in Order you can improve your Cluster Jewels to free some passive Points to get another two Jewel Sockets. Additionally you can get a Darkness Enthroned Belt to get yet another Jewel Socket (put your best jewels in there once you get it since its increases them by 75%)

Large Cluster: https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Sanctum/aknkelaSe

Medium Cluster: https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Sanctum/DJ7X2BvS5

All those Upgrades, besides the Ghaystly Eye Jewels, are sub 100C each (Mainly in the 30-50 Chaos Range).


Since we are a Block Build you really want to recover Life on Block.
I'd highly recommend to get a shield with that stat and as many other useful Stats.

Shield (Recover Life on Block, 3+ other useful stats or open suffix): https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Sanctum/4em7ZXMu9


To craft Aspect of the Spider you can just buy the Fenumus, First of the night: https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Sanctum/vyjZQzsE
(right click it, whlie in the menagery, to add to your beasts.)
(I included Open Suffixes on the Searches to find at least one gear slot to craft it on ;-))

Didn't even know that it was a possible corruption outcome.
Thanks for the tip!

but looking at the available Tavukais they get quite expensive when you are looking for one with a low Chaos Resistance Roll (I normally look for -13% to -17%). Searching for one with max 0% Chaos Resistance, they start at 50C++:

Another aspect to consider is, that you need a Tainted Oil to Annoint the Amulet which is another 25C (fairly Cheap this league tbh).

And you can't use Catalysts on it to either increase the Minion Life (More Damage) or the Chaos Damage taken by the SRS (faster pops).

Thank you for the info! I'll look into all of this. I've been taking liberties with the build to where it suits my playstyle more, I can't stand managing spectres or an animate guardian.

As for Fenumus, as far as I'm aware, unless you capture Fenumus yourself, you don't unlock the crafting recipe for spiders, which is why I've not bought it.

So far I've managed quite a lot with the build, survivability hasn't been an issue for me, beyond mechanics like Maven's memory puzzle, and a lack of DPS for fighting the Hidden (although I did kill them with this build). Hopefully I can push it further and finish Maven, too.
