What are some good melee pure physical spectres?

I'm playing a 1000 STR Baron Zombiemancer but i also want some spectres.

Since Baron Helmet says that half of my Strength is added to my Minions, what spectres scale best with that bonus 100% increased melee physical damage they get from my 500 strength?

I know +100% increased minion damage is not much but i don't want it to go to waste.

So anyone knows any decent melee pure physical spectres?

Kitava's herald does have one ranged attack but is otherwise an almost* pure melee physical spectre, and a pretty good one at that.

*one of the skills it uses has 50% of physical added as fire iirc.

Kitava's heralds sound good.

The added fire damage works too. I would not mind any elemental damage as long as it's converted from pure physical or added as extra. Tks a lot.

Few seasons ago I did Goliaths (from the mines, using ground slam), they were pretty decent but need enough speed

If using doon cuebiyari to get your strength, put Undying ravagers in there for a nice pseudo 4 link, and a good armour buff. Their bladefall hit box is quite good complementing melee summons.

Sandworn slaves are good for some AOE cyclone action shooting projectiles.

Use heretical guardians for a sweet defensive buff, plus some charging melee minions.

In reality, no spectre will give you the same results as a carnage and host chieftan. They do a bit of damage on their own, but their buff to zombies damage via power and frenzy charges will do more than a spectre's damage ever could. If you are running vulnerability, the buff to bleed damage from power charges is also very nice.

The big vaal statues from temple of azoatial.

They're called enhanced vaal fallen i believe. They have some teleporting move and deal high amounts of damage. Check out some videos on youtube of summoners killing über elder with those.

I used kitava's heralds a few leagues ago and they were ok too.

It really depends on what you want.

For ranged Undying Ravagers and Kitava's Herald is propably the best, although the Herald uses its Leapslam and quickly turn melee. He also has a Cleave in Melee. The leapslam does add 50% of his physical damage as Fire though.

For Melees there are a bunch, the big Vaal Fallen (similar to Colossal Skeletons) deal massiv single target damage. Those Skeleton Cages that use Cyclone have insane AoE and quickly tear throw many weaker enemies.

If you manage to use Generic Supports that work on many different abilites (Kitava's Herald Cleave and Leapslam are Attacks, the Mortar is a spell) you can also combine different spectres, since it is quite easy to get 4 anyway and with more it might be even better to combine them.
