[3.25] Poison Summon Raging Spirits Necromancer League Starter (All content - Ubers, T17, HC Viable)

Hello everyone!

I have made a very detailed league starter build guide for a Poison SRS Necromancer which is now available here: https://maxroll.gg/poe/build-guides/poison-srs-necromancer-league-starter

Showcase videos:
The gear used was identical to what is being used in the PoB found on Maxroll, "Early Covenant" item setup, but with the medium budget AG double curse setup for an enfeeble curse on hit. The total gear cost used is around 10 divines or less.

There are plenty of poison SRS version out there so what makes this different?

This version compared to most other poison SRS versions is:
Much much tankier & HC Viable (trigger wand version)
Better minion survivability.
Better QoL (Trigger wand version, Arcanist brand version is same as the others)
Good life regeneration & Leech vs degens/DoTs.
Better clear speed since the AG is not defensive and with Hungry loop it can splash its curses on multiple enemies for improved initial Asenath explosions.

No Guard skill to inflate the max hit values.
Since Spectres are not defensive your SRS will always gain the benefits from onslaught when forest warrior is near them most of the time. (Forest warrior will also cull enemies instead of staying next to you)

All the while having basically the same damage or even more compared to the other versions.

Speaking of damage many other pSRS builds inflate their PoBs/Builds by enabling Vaal haste, using very expensive abyss jewels at an low/early budget or use the Hulking Miscreation/Spectral leader Spectres.

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.

As a comparison I killed Uber Uber Elder in a 4min fight with the Early setup using a Judgemental Spirit, when I swapped it with a Hulking the fight took 4min 30s (Judge gives around 2.5m LESS PoB DPS compared to Hulking).
He also casts it as soon it is of cooldown even when there are no enemies nearby which means your SRS might get the buff when there is nothing to attack or your SRS are to far away from the Hulking miscreation.
(It is however awesome for an Animate weapon or Pure Golem build)

As for Spectral Leader, it does provide a very good Action Speed aura buff, but it has a very low life pool which causes it to die often. The AI for it is not the best either since it will run away from enemies so your SRS rarely gains the benefit of the aura buff unless you use convocation next to the enemy regularly.

Finished the campaign in Zizarans gauntlet with the build.
Slightly adjusted the tree early on to grab "Practical Application" for early res and dex&str.
After act 5 I took Asylum for extra chaos res as well.

Edit:
Finished the gauntlet as overall rank 78 and rank 10 as a Witch.
Never died but I also never got the chance to do Elderslayers (Would most likely have killed them) or The Feared invitation (Would probably have died but with a decent chance to finish it)
Never found a Baran or Cortex map.

Made a minor update/improvement to the leveling skill tree and adjusted some of the support gems during the leveling in acts.
