Raise Spectre is the defacto king of summoner builds, sporting the very best clear and the very best injury. Higher but, it’s not gated by any costly Uniques or gadgets — you could be tearing aside your first Awakener kill or blitzing via crimson maps for lower than 100 
Chaos Orbs. The principle uniques integrated, similar to 
Victario’s Charity or 
The Devouring Diadem, could be obtained simply on any league (similar to SSF) or are fully non-compulsory.
There are a number of varieties of Spectres which can be generally used, nevertheless, this construct focuses on making use of the Slave Drivers, an underutilized Spectre that really places the remainder of them to disgrace. Boss killing, mapping, deep delving — all fall earlier than the spectral military we will make use of, giving this construct a uncommon flexibility that few others can boast of.
In Patch 3.12 Heist League the Necromancer Ascendancy acquired a minor nerf:
Mistress of Sacrifice now causes your Choices to have 50% diminished impact on you (from 25%).
This discount has just about zero influence on the construct, barring a small shift — not will we use Mistress of Sacrifice beneath any circumstances, even with a juiced up providing chest within the late-game. Injury and survivability is unaffected and our Final Increase Spectre Necromancer is as sturdy as ever.

In Patch 3.11 Harvest League the construct stays largely unaffected by adjustments and stays a potent powerhouse.

Armageddon Brand is used as the principle set off for our Elemental Equilibrium, this construct does have the mixed really feel of a spellcaster and a summoner.

Elemental Equilibrium permits us to deal massively elevated injury with our minions free of charge and is definitely utilized utilizing a self-cast spell. Whereas this isn’t utterly needed for clearing normal mobs, it is a gigantic enhance for bossing and Legion rares, and helps us actually energy via targets which can be a bit extra beefy. Slave Drivers deal a heavy quantity of Lightning injury and tear aside just about the whole lot.
