Raise Spectre

Feels great to lose 42 divine, because you have an idea for a fun interaction, but it requires you to upgrade you helmet.
Come on guys!

"All you have to do is know that you can't take off the gem in your hideout." The location that you used 99% of the time in late game. Use the wrong armor, queens hunger, -42 divine, have a carrion golem, -42 divine.

Perfect forest tiger that I farmed forever for, gone! Perfect turtle, gone! In a game with animate guardian, you seriously can't think of a better way for this to work? You have an NPC that literally keeps animal corpses as his job....

The idea behind the raise spectre gem is fantastic...but the execution is incredibly punishing. Twice today I lost ~10 divine worth of spectres. The first time I miss clicked my wand, and the second time because I changed a graft...not realizing that the 8 dex on the graft I took out would brick a few gems.


THIS DOES NOT FEEL GOOD. I don't know if it's is a technical challenge or a bandwidth issue or what, but I cannot imagine anyone at GGG playing with spectres and thinking..."oh yeah, this feels great."

I am a new player, this is my first season. I have been having fun and learning about the mess of complexity that this game contains. I goof up, and it feels unrecoverable.

As far as I am concerned this build is bricked because it isn't remotely worth the stress of being afraid to change things for fear of it being an expensive mistake. Not a great first impression.

These problems are so apparent and the solutions are so obvious that it is rage inducing. Is that the experience you are going for her

Welcome to POE, unfortunately. There have been so many issues I've come across over the years... like being able to leap slam into random objects/doodads in the environment and then not being able to move afterward unless I leap slam out. (still an issue btw)

I just had an issue with raise spectre myself. For some strange reason my 3 spectres suddenly respawned as 3 totally new ones that I have never raised before nor were they corpses in the current map. I also lost one of the corpses from my pool that is only obtainable from ritual.


Sorta makes you wonder what bugs there are that we can't see and how is it gimping our gameplay in ways we can't even imagine. Like damage or defense numbers being so off that our characters can barely progress due to some error not of our own doing. If the clear and obvious issues can't be fixed after years and years then what hope is there really.

Here's the Video about Spectre test with "Vaal Gargantuan" in 2023.

Multistrike Support no longer working with "Vaal Gargantuan" Spectre.

Description: I would like to report a potential bug regarding the Spectre "Vaal Gargantuan". In previous versions, this Spectre was able to be supported by Multistrike Support. However, in the current patch, Multistrike no longer works with this Spectre's attacks, even though its combat mechanics haven't changed.

Could you please check if this is an unintended change or if the attack tags for this monster were modified incorrectly?

The current ongoing problem with this skill is that it relies almost entirely on word of mouth regarding the support gems that work with certain spectres, the stats and behaviors of certain spectres, stats, what stats do at certain gem levels, basically the whole shebang.

The second current ongoing problem is that it relies on desecrate and hyperlocal information almost exclusively in order to populate your spectre lineup.

I think we should bring back Tane and task him with providing solutions to both of those problems. Or maybe Tane's sister Janine or something.

Everyone should put in emails until they fix it. I'm sick of this bullsh*t. Worst bugs in a game that I've ever played... literally. When one of the most popular skills in game doesn't even function in a way that makes sense and we have to waist so much time farming just to be able to get back to where we were before. Come on GGG... DO BETTER!


I thought I had it figured out... as if this should be required to play the game, but I knew that if I took off the gem the corpses from ritual should instantly pop up on the ground so that once I am ready I could summon them again through corpse targeting. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPE.... they just vanished this time. ._.




TL;DR EVERYONE HAVING THIS ISSUE MUST EMAIL THEM UNTIL IT'S FIXED. It seems like the only option since everything else up to this point seems to fall in deaf ears

Was 2014 really the last time a staff member posted anything in this forum regarding Raise Spectre? WOW... yea... how do we get them to notice? I can't believe Ghazzy or some other popular minion streamer hasn't gotten them to fix this.

I simply refuse to accept that our solution is to read some guide on some page on how to potentially avoid this issue with no clear fix in site. I thought I took the necessary precaution, but this is two leagues in a row.

What an absolute slap in the face to your time investment when you lose a spectre worth 20-30 divine. You guys are incapable of finding a better solution for summoning spectres? You solved this in POE2, but seemingly refuse to fix it in POE1? Its my second league. Im new.. I dont know how all of this stuff works. You give absolutely zero information. How about a prompt "Unequipping your armour will result in loss of spectres, return to hideout" IS this really that novel of a concept?

Just a frustrated idiot thats already given way to much money to this company.

Decided to buy another Perfect Forest Tiger. I did everything I was supposed to do in order to prevent wasting a 25D purchase ( the very last of my currency) I took out desecrate and spirit offering. I dropped it on the ground in my hideout, and held A over it. Raise spectre. Poof... No additional spectre to my arsenal even though I had 3 open spots. Mind you, I had just raised 2 of the 5 prior too. So I had a method that was what I assumed bulletproof. This ended my season. My friend who also started with absolution guardian this league lost an expensive spectre in the first 3 days and wrapped up his league immediately. I tried to convince him to come back and even offered to buy everything he needed. I get it. This game raped us, and there is absolutely nothing GGG will do about it. I doubt they even read the commentary for this. Between the two of us we have spent 2-3,000 in cosmetics. I'll pass on doing any more of that. Time. All that any of us ask is that you respect our time.
