Spectre compendium is feature complete, enjoy

257

With huge help from the community we managed to pull off this titanic task. We have all monsters categorized by type, damage, family, spirit cost all in one place over here:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1oadXSCHczpyCgRxzTk3nRBeeOLlefZAzKM3ijwmWevY/edit?usp=sharing

Feel free to still contribute with comments or interactions you find via comments in the spreadsheet and i will update it. There are still ~200 more to go through for which i’ll personally test and upload the basic video as well; so that is still WIP.

In order to freely use the spreadsheet, you can go to File -> Make a copy and then apply your desires filters.

Maybe you are looking for beasts, undead monsters or generally a specific archetype to build around; the spreadsheet will be your tool.

Enjoy and thanks everyone. Big shoutout to other content creators who helped and popularized this tool: GhazzyTv, Balormage, Macrobioboi, theuberelite

great work of the community! now i really hope they rebalance the spirit costs and give us a keystone or two for extra gem slots so we can actually experiment with diverse minion armies, i ran over 50 different spectres and while it was fun to experiment, most are either bugged or super unfeasible and in tragic irony, the ''best'' one is a carbon copy of the arsonist with somehow even MORE visual issues, ha.

a spectre like ribrattle[available in act1] being a beautiful adorable double curse bot at 40 spirit is such a good example of how spectres should be, i really hope they continue that trend although i fear the free tripple curse is going to get chopped, haha

So 2x good dmg spectres atm?

Hey man, this is awesome. There is nothing more exciting than data sets to explore. Even if most of these are not viable now, they might be a great choice soon. Tip of the hat to you guys for compiling this awesomeness!

Great job man this is great resource to come back to when spectre actually gets some love from GGG. It’s so pathetic that all 524 are extremely bad vs just regular skeleton minions. But there is somewhat viable ones if you or anyone want to do the infernal legion route. Anyways thanks for this.

GGG has not balanced spectres ever.

Does it shotgun = OP. 100,000,000 dps and now we're going to nerf the spectre gem directly.

Now any Spectre that was nearly competent is trash and players are just looking for the next shotgunning spectre.

Wish this had specter base hp.  I was looking at a trying to make decompose work and that would be helpful.

Mad respect!! Thanks for that. I was trying chat GPT, global Chat and was trying out things myself and it was a nightmare.

They really need to give each monster an unique name

Anyone run some of the big health spectres with sacrifice DD or decompose yet? was my initial thought with either the giant undead or the drudges.

Awesome work from the community you guys rock! I am a little disappointed with how spectres turned out as a minion main in 0.1. We were by far nowhere near meta but got nuked just as badly. I knew they were gonna lower our boss damage but I didn’t expect our slow clear to get even worse. Let’s hope they can iterate on them and get these bugs ironed out so we can all live our minion army dreams!

Even in poe2 Pale Angels suck😔 I miss my alt quality gems Pale Angel Spectre build from +2 years ago.

Do we already know if spectre summons - e.g., from Gilded Beetle, Bloodthief Queen, Lost-Men Necromancer - benefit from the Tactician ascendandy, or other bonuses like extra minion damage from scepters?

Can you make Tame Beast tab also. Only way Tamed Beast's get some exposure is trough you guys.

% reservations follow base spectre cost (quill crabs will be 27% ish on low end, quadrila 49%). There's companion reservation reduction on tree, which changes % a bit.

And out of all 524 of them is worse than Skeletal Storm Mages and majority of Skeletons for mapping or bossing.

They are one of the few new content that came with this patch along with Huntress and Spears and play rate doesnt even hit %5.

Hey Truditoru, the Archer Transcendent is still missing.

It’s the lightning arrow guys from black chamber, haven’t tested them but they have a 5 arrow shot attack
