This is what I'm currently using, I'll be adding an optimized gear PoB at a later time.

note: there are some things I'm still testing a playing with, but this is basically what I've been using, it's not completely final though. Would love to hear helpful suggestions.

Reminder: In-game character sheet doesn't include %increase to life recovery bonus for regen, but it definitely is still there and working.

T16 Minotaur Run
Blight Encounter for Above Mino Run
My gear is not near optimized for damage yet. My Spectres are only level 82, don't have +1 wand yet, gem is only level 20 and the helm conc & minion damage are only level 18. Even though the damage is still very good, there is still room for even more damage!

Uber Lab - Main Path w/ Keys Run
I'm still relatively new to the game, I only just started farming Uber Lab, so please excuse my (many) mistakes. This video is just to show how ridiculously easy it is with this build. You get to walk through traps like they are nothing and you can just ignore Argus and Izaro as they die.


Mino tickles

Spectres (in Shaper helm):
Raise Spectre - Spell Echo - Elemental Focus - Feeding Frenzy
You can replace Feeding Frenzy with Deathmark or Controlled Destruction, but the build plays some much smoother with feeding frenzy, and honestly, dps isn't really an issue.

EE Proc:
Armageddon Brand
We use Arma Brand to proc Elemental Equilibrium. Make sure that you have no added lightning damage to your spells from any source!

Auraus:
Generosity - Vaal Haste - Wrath
We don't use Haste, just vaal haste for bosses.
Vitality
Make sure Vitiality is not connected to generosity.

On Use Skills (don't need to be linked):
Flesh Offering, Convocation, Flame Dash, Desecrate
We use move speed + Quicksilver potions to get around, flame dash is optional, but I can't live without it :p

CWDT:
CWDT(20) - Steelskin (20)
For a while I wasn't using this setup, I was trying to manually use Bone Armour when needed. Ever since I went to the CWDT setup, I haven't looked back. I still keep Bone Armour on my bar if I know a huge hit is coming in (Phoenix Explosion, etc).

Other Minions:
Stone Golem, Raise Zombie, Animate Guardian
Zombies - to help us reach our 10 minions for Bone Armour passives (a must) and not bad meat shields.
Stone Golem - Extra Regen
Animate Guardian - Didn't use one for a while and I wish I did, this thing is a must-have. I use Dying Breath, Leer Cast, Victario's Flight, Southbound, and Ambu's Charge.

Curse:
I get Elemental Weakness from corrupted gloves, if you can't or don't want to go that route, I would get an unset ring, move something into there and add Enfeeble or your choice of curse to CWDT setup. Another option is to manually cast one yourself as your pets are doing the damage.

This is my gear a week into the league that I used to kill Shaper and his Guardians (very very easily). Always try to get as much HP as you can on items while keeping up your resistances. Make sure that you have no added lightning damage to your spells from any source! This will GREATLY decrease Spectre damage.

Weapon and Shield:

The shield is one of the most important items, it is a MAJOR dps boost for our Spectre's. This is a must-have in my opinion. This weapon is by no means perfect. Ideally you want one with +1 to all minion gems to get spectres another level.

Helm:

If you're using Kaom's chest you need a helm with minion damage and Concentrated Effect (highest level you can get) for end-game clear speeds. It gives us our 6L for our main damage dealers (Slave Drivers). I went up to T13 with just a minion damage helm and it clears just fine.

Chest:

I'd get one of these asap (as long as you have helm that lets you 5L or 6L), major HP jump. Before then just get a chest with as much HP and %HP as you can find for cheap.

Gloves:

The normal version of these gloves are nearly free. They only give 50HP (from strength), but with the 2% regen they're definitely worth it (you should have no problem hitting 400 STR. I got these for 30c a few days into the league, honestly the corrupted version with the curse isn't necessary, it's just some nice extra damage. See "Gem" section for more detail on curses.

Boots:

These get complicated. I got these for around 40c just a few days into the league. I got some with %regen so that I could lab-enchant them with %regen when hit, honestly you only really need one or the other, both is best though! Other than that we need HP, some resists and run speed.

Belt:

We want an elder belt with high HP, some resists and most importantly % increased life recovery rate. You can get up to 20% increased life recovery. This is big though, even at 12% it gives us more HP regen than Stone Golem.

Amulet:

Marble Amulet with HP, resists and Regen craft is what we are looking for. With my current setup, even though it isn't perfectly rolled, this amulet gives about 5% of life per second. Regarding anointments I went with Righteous Army because it's cheap and it gives us and our minions a lot. The other 2 main options I would consider are Soul of Steel and Heart of Oak.

Rings:

A lot of life, some resists, you're going to need dex from somewhere, I found it easiest to find it on a ring, but I leave a suffix open so I can do +1 minimum endurance charges. We lack a bit in physical damage mitigation so a craft that gives us pseudo +12% total elemental resist and 4% physical damage reduction is nice to have.

Jewels:

This is a big bonus once you can get one, it's our 3rd source of %increase life recovery rate. I was able to get one with "Regenerate 117.1 Life per Second while affected by vitality) for crazy cheap before I got this one for 1ex.

Other than that we are look for at least one source of blind, I like having one life leach and then just some damage for my other jewels like so:

Bandits: Kill them all.
Major: Soul of Lunaris (physical damage reduction, avoidance, and ignore damage from chained skills - all great for this build).
Minor: It's really just preference, but I mostly use Soul of Gruthkul.
