Notes

You can find the full and very detailed written guide for NECROMANCER here: https://maxroll.gg/poe/build-guides/poison-srs-necromancer-league-starter
You can still use the necro guide as a reference to progress by following the milestones for the build. (There are some differences tho so make sure to follow the PoB if you encounter something that is different)

Ascendancy selection order
1 - Malevolent Strands
2 - Skincrawlers
3 - Threadspinner
4 - Silkdancer

=== CAP RES & DEX WITH GEAR ===
Spectres: Use Carnage Chieftains from act 2 until you get Arena master & Pale Seraphim OR Perfect Forest warrior & Perfect guardian turtle (ask in /global 6666 for spectres)
(ask in /global 6666 for Arena master & Pale)

Early league start 2 spectre limit.

1. Arena master (Drox map)
2. Pale seraphim (Beyond mechanic)  (Replace this with forest warrior (damage) or Perfect guardian turtle(defense) as soon as possible)

Finished Early setup 3 spectre limit

1. Forest warrior (Damage) 
2. Perfect guardian turtle (Phys Defense)
3. Judgemental Spirit (Not perfect)  

Do not use Hulking miscreation with SRS builds. (Even if it adds 5m+ sDPS in the Early PoB, THE BUFF IS NOT PERMANENT WHICH PoB THINKS)
SRS summoned after the Hulking Miscreation casts its damage and attack speed increase buff do not benefit from the buff. (Or they die/despawn shortly after)
This means most of your SRS never see any benefit, PoB does not account for this resulting in overinflated numbers. So DO NOT use Hulking Miscreation as it provides minimal dps, quality of life, or defenses in comparison to the other spectres in the build.
As a comparison I killed Uber Uber Elder in a 4min fight with the Early setup using a Judge, when I swapped it with a Hulking the fight took 4min 30s.
(It is however awesome for an Animate weapon or Pure Golem build)

Over cap your resistances with +15 to negate elemental exposure.

You want one ghastly eye jewel with taunt on hit and one with blind on hit 

Dont use AG until total combined gem level for AG is at least lvl 18, "total combined gem level" =  +1 skills from wand/helmet/shield

If you start mapping with bought or traded low level(1) minion gems you will have a very bad time.

Wake of destruction shock effect is 15% but the uptime is very unreliable so shock effect is set to 5% instead

As soon as you finish hungry loop your AG will become very tanky and improve clear speed. 

Swap to Solaris pantheon if you are going to fight end-game bosses that are mostly alone (Shaper/Eater/Exarch/Sirus/Maven)

!T17 MAPS! Skip the abomination map boss until you have at least medium budget setup. (They can destroy your permanent minions and AG in seconds if you are unlucky)

Try to keep around 10-20 mana unreserved even if it means not maxing vitality aura.

LOW BUDGET NOTE

You want "minions have a chance to poison on hit" on a few ghastly eye jewels to reach 100% chance to poison with minions. This is a massive damage increase.

For Hardcore Use Garb of the Ephemeral on your AG body to become crit immune and use Windscream instead of Wake of Destruction. (AG will become less tanky vs chaos dmg, but rather him than you dying tho)

Testudo is a very cheap anoint you can get early for high attack block chance, block recovery and 30 life each time you block an attack.
You want to anoint Death Attument later when you have the Mind Over Matter keystone and Aegis Aurora

Dont level precision, clarity and vitality to high.

Use Vaal Discipline for Uber boss fights instead of vaal haste.

MEDIUM BUDGET NOTE

For Hardcore Use Garb of the Ephemeral on your AG body to become crit immune and skip the double curse gloves. (AG will become less tanky vs chaos dmg, but rather him than you dying tho)
You can use it in softcore as well but you need to use normal asenath instead of double curse variant.

Use Perfect judgemental spirit now.

Covenant corruption can be

+2 duration gems
+2 minion gems
+1 socketed gems

Get any decent corruption on Aegis.

LATE BUDGET NOTE

You can use Malevolence or Purity of Elements Auls amulet

Instead of the current helmet bench craft you can craft 12% phys reduction while focused for a higher max phys hit.

Blind on hit jewel is no longer needed.

Get a double corrupted Aegis or a single good corruption

Best one is +2 socketed minion or Duration gems which you do not want to skip.

Second corruption can be any of the following

1. +2 socketed duration or minion gems (Offensive) (Very expensive)
2. +1 socketed gems (Offensive) (Very expensive)
3. 50% reduced crit damage taken (Defensive) (If you have this mod you could skip the crit reduction mod on your watchers eye and get one of the other mods below)  (Very expensive)
4. +1 maximum resistances (Defensive) (Very expensive)
5. Any dmg taken reduction mod Cold/light/chaos/fire (Defensive)
6. 4-6% increased maximum life (Defensive)

Watchers eye third mod or replace crit reduction (If it is expensive) with one of these:

(1)	(5-8)% additional Physical Damage Reduction while affected by Determination
(2/3)	You take x% reduced extra damage from critical strikes
(2/3)	Purity of elements - +1 to Maximum elemental resistances

(3)	(600-1000) to Armour while affected by Determination
(3)	(5-8)% Chance to Block Attack Damage while affected by Determination
(3)	Purity of elements - Chaos resistance
