==Strategy==
As players progress through the game, there are several monsters that present interesting choices to supplement summoner and hybrid-summon builds alike. Even for a non-summoner build, a single curse-casting spectre whose AI helps them stay away can be quite useful. In practice, it's not that easy to keep a sole spectre alive without having other bodies around to shield it - this means parties and hybrid/full-summon builds.

Players who may wish to save certain harder-to-obtain spectres to switch between, or have a backup in case their spectres die and are unable to create their corpse again, may want to create a "spectre bank". A spectre bank is a low-level character that can be used to add your spectre's corpses to the {{il|Desecrate}} monster corpse pool. This effect persists in the instance even after logging out, allowing you to spectre the desired corpses on your primary character.

Raise Spectre is a minion spell skill that summons a defeated enemy as an allied minion.

Skill functions and interactions

  • Monster types: Unlike minions created with the skill Raise ZombieRaise ZombieSpell, Minion
    Level: (1-20)
    Cost: (9-28) Mana
    Cast Time: 0.85 sec
    Raises a zombie minion from a corpse, which will follow you and attack enemies with a melee strike.Maximum (3-6) Raised Zombies

    Place into an item socket of the right colour to gain this skill. Right click to remove from a socket.
    , raised Spectres retain the basic abilities they had in life. Although magic and rare enemy corpses can be used to create Spectres, the Spectres will be the normal version of that monster type, lacking any additional modifiers they may have had. However, intrinsic mods for the normal monsters will be maintained except for some minion-raising abilities of their own. For example, Necromancers will curse enemies but not raise minions. Some monsters like Reanimators and Spectral Tacticians can summon their own minions (Zombies and Raging Spirits, respectively), but their minion's stats will only be affected by Minion-specific support gems and stats that affect allies, like Aura. Since they're not directly summoned by the player, stats from player's equipments and skill tree that modify minions will not affect them.
  • Support gems: Raise Spectre can gain the benefits of many different types of support gems, but not all of them may be beneficial depending on the type of Spectres raised. Minion-specific support gems will work on every type of spectre. For example, Greater Multiple Projectiles SupportGreater Multiple Projectiles SupportSupport, Projectile

  • Corpse targeting: Holding down the corpse targeting toggle (defaults to the "A" key) makes it easier to choose a corpse to raise. Note that you must continue targeting the corpse while raising the spectre. If you let go of your corpse target button you may raise a different spectre.
  • Monster level: Spectres no longer have their level reduced to the level of the area they are in. Instead, the level of a Spectre is now based on the level of the Raise Spectre skill gem.

  • Loss Protection: Spectres persist after logout or disconnection. If lose your spectres in a town or hideout such as by removing the gem or missing attribute requirements, corpses of your spectres will spawn at the entrance of the next hostile area you enter. Only the owner of the spectres can use Raise Spectre on these corpses.

Strategy

As players progress through the game, there are several monsters that present interesting choices to supplement summoner and hybrid-summon builds alike. Even for a non-summoner build, a single curse-casting spectre whose AI helps them stay away can be quite useful. In practice, it's not that easy to keep a sole spectre alive without having other bodies around to shield it - this means parties and hybrid/full-summon builds.

Popular Spectres

These Spectres are used often due to their strong AI, damage, or mechanics:

Spectre Location
Slave Driver The Control Blocks (Act 5)
Solar Guard (Act 8): The Solaris Temple Level 1 or Level 2, The Harbour Bridge, The Solaris Concourse
Risen Vaal Advocate The Temple of Atzoatl
Syndicate Operative Betrayal encounters
Frost Auto-Scout Tunnels Heist contracts

Party-friendly

The following list are a small sample of Spectres that are compatible with parties in general since they are both useful and have a relatively low graphics load for the sake of others:

These Spectres come with curses and have +1 curse mod

The +1 curse mod is independent so having both Spectres allows both Enfeeble and Temporal Chains on monsters on top of what the player can apply.

Special corpse spectres

The Breaker of Oaths in the Affliction league sells corpse items that create a monster corpse on the ground. Many of these monsters cannot be found as raisable enemies and rare corpses come with abilities that buff the player or party. Their corpses will need to be bought again should you lose them, however.

Finding Spectres in Maps

Some guidance on Spectre corpse availability when raising Spectres in maps:

  • Maps have a default sub-set of mob-types that will spawn, usually related to the tileset.
  • Mobs like Stygian Revenants (Undead) and Undying Evangelists (Humanoid) will have better chance to be spawned with a map mod that changes the allowed mob-types.
  • Taking existing Spectres into a map adds them to the list of spawnable corpses via Desecrate if allowed by the map, even if there are no mobs of that type present. This seems to be related to the default sub-set above. E.g. taking Flame Sentinels into a white Temple will allow their corpses to be spawned by Desecrate. Note that mods changing the spawn-type such as Bipedal will prevent Flame Sentinel corpses from spawning. Also note that some instances will be more difficult than others to obtain the matching corpses, probably because the actual monster variety in the map tileset is higher. Sometimes this takes dozens of casts, in which case using traps and mines to multiply the number of corpses can be useful.


"Spectre bank"

Players who may wish to save certain harder-to-obtain spectres to switch between, or have a backup in case their spectres die and are unable to create their corpse again, may want to create a "spectre bank".
