We don't know yet. the skill comes out April 4th for everyone.
EDIT: do you mean spend more spirit to gain another copy? Yes it was in the video.
99% certain that +skills does increase specter lvl, and by extension their life and damage, but we technically don't know yet. Also yes you can use the +/- to increase the number summoned like other minions.
It binds the base unit type, strictly speaking. Some rare mobs use a different base mob type despite sharing the same name and image, as a way to give them new base stats/skills/ai that they normally wouldn't get. For example, a zombie might get faster base movespeed, and the quill rat looking thing might get a fan of projectiles instead of a single projectile. These alternate versions of enemies are considered a different specter. Affixes, such as 'hasted,' are not kept for bind specter. However, it looked like they will be kept for Companions, so there is a very real possibility of running an aurabot companion alongside specters.
Will it summon them, or just stay as is with no little summons...
From what I've seen in the video the skill gem acts like any other: you can level it up and it becomes more powerful.
The minion also acts like others - you can spend more spirit to get more spectres of the type.
That actually works in PoE as far as I remember, but the minions of your minions don't inherit the stats from your minion nodes and modifiers, so they're basically worthless for anything other than corpse shenanigans or sheer numbers.
Everything that affects minions in your tree will affect your summons, but anything your summons then do doesn't benefit from your passive tree anymore - so if you have a passive that gives +1 projectiles, for example, your skeleton archers won't shoot 2 by default. They'll have extra damage due to your minion damage nodes, but they only get extra projectiles if you link extra projectiles to their skill gem.
Can't offhand remember if the minions of your minions get minion life if you linked minion life to the skill gem right now.
Minions of minions iirc do not inherit minion life but im not certain.
If it does summon an flood, its probably a bug (haha). I would expect either a few (3-5) summoned or none.
Ohhh, yeah, I used the perfect spider matriarch for the Arakaali build. I think those are made specifically for the purpose of being used as spectre and therefore balanced to be useful, though.
Most critters that have summons aren't, so the stuff they summon is REALLY weak because it no longer benefits from the monster level and map modifiers and also don't benefit from your modifiers.
which can BUFF, or say, apply ES to nearby allies.. or similar effects.. would they even work still...
Since there will be random enemy exiles.
*Looks like a total weeb for a second*
"ARISE!"
I wonder how spectre is going to work on those npc like enemies.. <.< so much to test
I doubt the NPC exiles will be able to be targetted by the Spectre skill, but we will find out soon enough.
Its either going to be terrible or there will be broken spectres which you'll build around only for GGG to remove/nerf them into oblivion. (spirit cost changes/flat out removal etc)
Reminds me of a certain MMO that let you charm monsters where you could charm anything and it was gloriously over powered (and v risky) then an expansion came out and it was suddenly almost useless and you'd wasted your time on playing the class/gearing up.
No it wont. Most of the specter build would be same as doing generic minions. You will know long before you have the currency to mega invest whether you should go all in on specter or pivot to another minion. Minions are incredibly flexible in early-mid gearing.
Minion builds almost never pidgeonhole you into one minion type. A necro or lich going for spectres will be able to grab any of the other minion types if spectres turn out to be too expensive or just not viable.
The only danger is if you spend heavily on spectre-specific uniques or pick a spectre that needs an expensive niche jewel type in quantity to work and you buy those before finding out they're doo-doo.
The solution there is equally simple though: just don't buy anything that'd be useless for any other minion if you need to pivot before you're certain if you'll stick with spectres or not.
Bind spectre doesn't work on bosses and I believe those exiles are classed as such
It seems to work on unique enemies that aren't map bosses - I'd assume Rogue Exiles won't work because that'd be pants on head OP, but it would be hilarious while it lasted if it did!
