Specters needs accuracy?

Hi guys.

Do some one know if scepters need accuracy stat?

For example Syndicate Operative specters according to poe DB have 100% accuracy.

PoE DB link :
https://poedb.tw/us/Syndicate_Operative#Lvl84


Does it means I don't need to have extra accuracy on items/jewels/passives to scale specter's DPS?

If the spectre is using a SPELL, it does NOT need accuracy.

If the spectre is using an ATTACK it DOES need accuracy.

The database is not always accurate or informative on letting you know which spectres use attacks and which use spells.

From the description in your link, it appears Syndicate Operatives use ATTACKS, thus need accuracy.

It also appears they have a 100% bonus to accuracy, so should very rarely miss...
(100% bonus does not mean 100% chance to hit, it means the base accuracy number that mobs of that level are given is doubled.)

But, I would spec into the Gravepack cluster on the skill tree, try and get them to have 100% chance to hit on high level bosses. And it gives a chance for double damage, and increased minion damage.

You can also use Ghastly Jewels that give a flat bonus to minion accuracy. It is unclear if that "100% bonus to accuracy" that Syndicate Operatives get would also double flat accuracy from jewels.

Path of Building, the community fork, has SOME spectres programed into it, and will factor your spectres chance to hit shaper into your "shaper dps".

I do not trust it.

It was not written by GGG.
The info it has comes from data mining, and I highly suspect its ability to accurately determine minion accuracy.

But I am notorious on these forums for disbelieving PoB numbers. Most people trust it.

In general, it is a MAJOR FAILING by GGG that there is no in game way to see minion dps, not spectres, not zombies, not skeletons, not ANY minion.

So people turn to 3rd party applications, that may or may not be accurate.
