{2.0}Spectral Gods: Summoner's Guide to Wraeclast

Since the very first closed beta summoners has always had these pros and cons and pretty much has remained this way 2 years later.

Pros:
- The transference of agroo, no other build can really take advantage of a 'Meat Shield' Mechanic
- A Huge amount of build diversity, Different Spectre choices can have a huge influence on your build
- You can take advantage of any kind of base monster mechanic with Raise Spectre(much more detailed mechanics explanation of all spectre choices in my 'tier list')
- Extremely efficient in terms of currency to full build ratio, easy to gear
- SRS types or hybrid types excel at killing single targets, like Atziri
- Able to take advantage of many things normal builds cannot, Elemental Equilibrium... , specific minion buffs, huge return on aura investment, ect...
- Very well suited for magic finding
- The access to very interesting mechanics that only work well in a summoner build, it almosts requires a different mind set when theorycrafting builds vs normal builds
- ...
Cons:
- Vulnerable to extremely high elemental damage that comes from bosses and rogue exiles.
- Full summoners are not that great at Atziri, still doable thou
- Extremely poor start, only gets good towards the end of cruel
- Will never achieve the clear speed of hundreds of exalted builds, but its good enough
- cannot utilize leach as a defensive mechanic for character
