► Yooooooooo, Exiles!
Affliction Spectres are back, nerfed, but still incredibly strong. This is my take on a postnerf non- Adorned Bama using some new tech and 5 Spectres. The build does great damage, has great clear, amazing in Sanctum, has explosions, Endurance Charges and is fairly tanky. This is a showcase of my build against the endgame at lvl 99.

(Flasks and Moltenshell off. I am 99 in the video and was missing the Penetration Mastery. Guardian Turtle was added via the Spectre menu, the other Spectre buffs are in the config.)

► The unique mechanics of this build:
This build is a new version of my Affliction Bama. The Spectres I use are mostly the same. Fortune gives a baby Wrath Aura and Lucky Hits with lightning damage. Blasphemer hasn't been nerfed and still provides a massive Smite Aura, but doesn't have 100% uptime. Primal Thunderbird gives Exposure and a Grace Aura. The Forest Warrior provides Onslaught and lastly Guardian Turtle replaces our own Determination Aura.
The most notable new addition here is Bloodmagic on the tree. I have done away with Mana and Energy Shield/EB. Instead of Vow I am using a rare Body Armour with +1 Spectres. Instead of Divine Flesh I am stacking max. elemental res and Endurance Charges. Supreme Ostentation solves our attributes and lets us tattoo out tree.
The only 2 auras that I am running are Precision which is reserved on life and an Eternal Blessing Haste for zoom zoom. There is one button less to press, because Divine Blessing is out and the build doesn't rely on player auras for defense or res, which means we can run map mods like reduced aura effect and no regen.
In earlier versions I did use a Warlord Spectre for Endurance Charges, but unfortunately they would drop off quite often. For consistency I added Grand Spectrums instead and replaced the Warlord with a Forest Warrior.
Prismatic Clones are still used for damage here with two Combat Focus jewels. They still deal absurd damage.
And the last new tech here is Inpulsas + Gravebind on the AG for explosions.
Additional notes:
My Bow and Body were crafted using Recombinators. The regular fractured bow craft is very close, see the doc for the crafting recipe.
The weapon enchant supposedly works on the clones, giving them 150% on all minion damage, which in my build is roughly ~213% extra increased minion damage according to PoB, or roughly ~20% more damage. I can't 100% confirm that it works. Its very hard to actually test it with crits, lucky hits and the huge damage range on lightning. Enchant at your own risk (3 Power Runes).
The second curse is upto you. I tried Punishment for the extra defense. Ass Mark or Elemental Weakness are fine too.
