Ghazzy's Spectre Paladin Build Guide (PoE Legacy of Phrecia Event)
Introduction
With the Legacy of Phrecia event, we can do a bunch of silly things not normally combineable.
For the Paladin that is the Relic’s from Guardian, infinite Warcry power from Chieftain and Inquisitors permanent conc ground.
This should all combine into a very comfortable lazy Duelist.
Build Overview
In this section I will outline the pros, cons, & general play style. This will allow you to determine if the build is for you or not!
Pros
+ League Starter – The build should drag itself to its relic minion swap with relative ease and should scale decently well from there.
+ Bosser – The build handles initial end-game pinnacle bosses with ease.
+ Simple Play Style – Summoning Raging Spirits is not complicated and with the life regen from conc ground and Enduring cry we should be pretty comfortable.
Cons
– Play Style Swap – Due to starting as a Duelist, we have to reach the minion nodes and finish the Second labyrinth before we can enable minions. This isn’t ideal, but it cannot be helped. This will mean a massive Faustus Respec after Cruel lab.
– Play Style Swap – Due to the nature of spectres, we need a bit of gear before we can swap to playing spectres full time and will progress low budget as Summon Raging Spirit
Playstyle
The playstyle of this build is very simple. We summon Summon Raging Spirit‘s, and these will auto-target the enemies. Trigger wand will automate our offerings and stuff, and we for the most part press SRS, enduring cry and shield charge.
In later budgets we swap to spectres and then we don’t even press SRS anymore.
Damage Scaling And Defensive Layers
The damage scaling of this build is pretty straightforward. We use the three elemental relics from our ascendancy to grant us all three elemental auras. We combine that with a few modifiers such as our ascendancies “enemies taunted take 20% increased damage” and “nearby enemies take 25% increased damage” modifiers.
Initially we’ll be letting Summon Raging Spirit take advantage of all the extra elemental damage from the relics due to their high attack speed, and then later we will swap to spectres to make this a bit more automated. Higher budgets use slightly more advanced tech, and I will discuss some of that on the gear page.
Defensively we’re making use of the normal candidates. Armour, block, endurance charges, decent life regen and splitting some of our damage onto the spectres.

Final Notes
As much as I love making build guides, it is very crucial in a game like Path of Exile that you play the game the way you enjoy playing it. With that said, if you’ve made any tweaks to the build compared to what I’m showing in this guide I would love if you’d posted it in my discord! It’s an effective way to show other approaches and it helps me grow as a build guide creator!
I hope you found the build guide useful and I wish you all many Divine Orb drops!
