[3.8 FINAL] 🔥 Infernal Beastlord 🔥 / SpectreWIKI

Concept:

"

Use 1x Wicker Man Unrighteous Fire+Ignite+Inernal Legion Support Gem to melt packs and bosses. Also opens up a new wave of weird Spectres that could be used as a backup/utility.

So this build is for you if you are interested trying different spectres and see how you can adapt this build for your own playstyle. Only mandatory is 1x Wicker Man because Infernal Legion and Unrighteous Fire and Ignite stack, as they are different sources of Burning Damage.

Update: I've found that best way to play this build is to have that helmet for 1x spectre of your choosing that will burn monsters (preferably wicker man for that ~500k Shaper DPS burn damage).

I will not be updating this build anymore, i might make one video of me killing shaper with Overgrown Rat just to show it is easy with the damage we get out from that gem! I will still propably keep updating the SpectreWiki below so keep checking that out!

Pros:
+Quick Clear Speed
+Can Utilize Any Spectre
+Hours and Hours of Tinkering Your Gear/Gems/Passives (if you want)
+Immunity to Elemental Ailments (Ignite, Freeze/Chill, and Shock)
+It is easily changed to something more classical Minion Build
+Cheap at start, expensive after (like 80% of builds)
+Can complete all maps, even hall of Grandmasters (it is unpleasant but doable)
+If you really want, you can use META spectres if you want to rickroll all maps.
Cons:
-PoB Effective Shaper dot-dps Wickerman (~500k Unrighteous Fire+Infernal Legion+Ignite)
-Keep Moving or you are asking for trouble (endgame)
-Niche build
-Min-Maxing expensive (+1 spectre body armours are expensive!)
-Need alot of Life for survivability

Additional Notes
Some Ideas how to utlize for different playstyles!

Defense:
A) Classic But Now With Clear Speed
How about running 4 (or 3) Undying Evangelist's(those bubble shield guys) + 1 Wicker Man = Ultimate Defense (use Meat Shield to keep them close to you)
Also

you can now convert the Physical Spell Damage to Fire and boost it with Elemental Equilibrium.

Offense:
A) Classic
Any high hitting Melee Spectre (Tukohama's Vanguards or Cannibal Fire-Eaters), before you had to sacrifice clear speed for high single target now you can clear trash and have an amazing single target in one great package.

B) El Projectilo Classico
If you want to trollstomp bosses, maps, and everything you can by choosing spectre of your liking (ex. Risen Vaal Advocates or Solar Guards). You still want to have some Degen?, then use Infernal Legion with zombies.

C) Daredevil
Try some Webbed Spiders with Flicker Strike and buff those guys with Frenzy Charges from King of the Apes.

D) Experimental
How about going full silent/no mtx mode with Blackguard Stalkers are rekt all mobs without that rgb splash everyone is after? If stealth you are after, well.. try these!

Or there is also some weird Icetrappers that do have potential!
More on them on "spectreWIKI" below.


Support:
Be a support bot for party, get 1x Ruins Hellion for that nice 10s Damage Buff and also Less Damage Taken Debuff?(if that works), maybe add some Apes for Frenzy and Power Charges.

14/10/19 Build is complete, we will see how we improve it in next league!

The burning damage does not stack. The mobs probably die due to RF which is more powerful and the further one probably die to Infeenal Legion due to its large radius.

I'm pretty sure burning damage DOES stack, as long as it doesn't come from the same source. So Unrighteous fire + infernal legion damage will both apply - maybe someone smarter can correct me. I have theorycrafted an elementalist "dot" build with Infernal Legion on Flame golem, Chaos aura Chaos golem, Wicker Man Unrighteous fire and Tukohama's Vanguards just for fun, but unfortunately i do not have too much time to play nowadays to see it in action - maybe in few weeks. What i did not know is the fact that Chaos Golem aura has a cooldown - i was hoping for original summoner with 4 different dots which are active 100% of the time, but my dreams got crushed a bit :)

I'm afraid that space will be run out soon on my build page so i'm gonna be adding Experimental Spectres in this post instead!

I've got the gear, gems , tree, etc but ran into a problem. My wickerman spectre with infernal legion on it keeps dying even with max resists and almost 7% life regen. How did you keep yours alive or did you give up and put the infernal legion support on a different mob? The helmet's socketed gems have X supports really only work well with the wicker man vs say a carrion golem. Thanks for the info!

Hey thank you for being interested on this build and because of it i am gonna improve it tomorrow (adding more info how to keep your infernal beasts alive).

But for quick fix for you now. I have 9.1% Minion Life Regen, beasts propably could stay alive with 8% with 20% quality infernal legion. So easy fix for you is to buy/get yourself a Abyssal Belt with one socket get 0.8% Abyssal Jewel for it.

I also did check your passive tree there are couple Abyss Jewels that are not up for the task the one with 0.4% regen is not good enough, get at least 0.7%, and i would say that lower than 0.7% gem is not worth it!

But if you just wanna test this build there is also option to use

To get one more abyss socket (i would NOT invest on double socketed bubonic boots).

Here are my Abyssal Jewels (not the greatest, will improve on these too) but for an example!


Summon Carrion Golem is now on same chest as my zombies. Also you have very nice bow which spectres are you using with that setup?

(Don't look at my gems on my chest, it is a mess but it was only spot i had for testing power charge apes easily :))

Also if you feel that you need a little bit more defense this Amulet will improve your curses and will protect you for 10% of damage from hits!

Thanks for the quick reply!

I was planning on putting a raise spectre (wickerman) due to the support on the helm + socketed supports.

The bow is currently setup to have raise spectre (undying evanglist) and swap out spell echo for meat shield so they stay on me with the fancy prox shield but atm i'm using the bow for 2 UA's and 1 Wicker (had to move the carrion golem up to the helm for now so it's easy to re-summon once it dies from infernal legion).

I plan on upgrading the abyssal gems to +30 life / 0.7+ minion regen but those start to get to be a little pricey as they add up and I've already dropped 15ex on the bow and 1ex on the boots as is.

Upgrading the chest to a 6 socket is on the agenda (zombie - minion damage - feeding frenzy - elemental army - carrion golem) + flame dash last slot once the Wickerman can be slotted in the helm and stay alive.


After doing the math with just 9% minion regen, it comes out to a positive regen of almost 2k for the wickerman in the helm with infernal legion. Awesome! Thanks mate!

NOTE: my animate guardian is using a 10% max life as ES chest + mask of the stitched demon (instead of a leer cast) = 13% life regen on it's own before tree or abyss jewels for a total of 22% regen which is nuts and very handy since he's pulling all the elemental ailments to himself.

I already have a Jinxed Juju amulet but forgot to link it in the previous post.

I want to make quick reply i just checked the trade you can get minion lfie regen 0.7% jewels with life pretty cheap like 1 chaos, well those jewels are nothing to be amazed for but that is a cheap way to improve! At least change that 0.4%!

Well you could try put your Animate Guardian on your helmet if he has that much life regen! But Wicker Man will be the best because double degen aura!

EDIT: Yes The elemental Ailment thing is something you gonna love! If you are gonan try clearing hall of grandmasters (which i dont suggest) dont have your animate guardian on there. I did it but it was pain in the ass to finish, i had to resummon minions half the time :D

And if i can ask how do you like playing with the infernal legion support! and with the bubble guys?

In regards to using the combo of the bubble spectres with my setup. It's great as the meatshield support makes them stay with me ensuring that I'm in the bubble, immune to all damage outside of it except DoTs and ground based degen effects that I can just move out of and convocation them (and their bubbles) to me. Not that I use increased duration in the bow setup for these guys to boost the bubble from 8 seconds to 13.92 seconds. I'm not sure if some of the nodes that give +minion duration actually boost that as well but I doubt it. The cool down on it isn't to bad between procs.


Dps wise the golem + zombies with feeding frenzy makes them all aggressive and the elemental army not only helps boost their resistances and give mobs a -10 penalty to fire resist but it also boots their damage by 30% MORE (better than the often confused Increased) thanks to using 4 red socket Triad Grip (allowing all minions to do strictly fire via 100% conversion).

So all in all .... it's great synergy. Has saved my arse a number of times.
