PoE Raise Spectre, Templar builds

So I've really been enjoying summoner play this league with srs and having a blast swapping spectres. Could you make a spectre/zombie/ whatever else without those cheesey herald shenanigans? Including holy relic as well, very much the same build as herald. I feel like the witch class is just slightly too good to warrant it. My last build being a occultist spectre srs setup. Also I'd be in SSF HC for this, trying to avoid hybrid or LL setups, since I just played a CI turned into LL witch my last build very rough draft just thrown together in a minute Without
