Quartz Flask with ignite immune
You can craft it by using Alterations, might take 10-20+

Clayshaper x2
Great Old One's Ward Corrugated Buckler
Mandatory item
First currency you farm will be spent to buy 2 of them to finally switch to Carrion Golems
+1 to max number of golems each
4-8 chaos at first day of the league
Once you have them - rebuild your gem setup :
Enemies Maimed by zombies take (10-14)% increased physical damage
Blood Magis allows spectres to always cast their buffs
Vulnerability is cast on bosses to increase DPS
Flesh Offering to increase minion's attack speed
Pride doesn't work with generosity, doesn't matter if it's linked together
Second Blood Magic is for 'No mana regen' mod
Animate Guardian is leveling
Hold Desecrate at stash tab and use to create Spectre if needed
At the time of purchase 2 Clayshapers - take Golem Commander node to have +1 to max number of golems
Now you can have up to 4 Carrion Golems and should get new spectres instead of Slave Drivers
Move to Ashen Fields (Act7) and summon 2 x Carnage Chieftain for Frenzy Charge generation and 1 x Host Chieftain for Power Charge generation
(Use Desecrate, Hold 'A' , and select the correct corpse)
Abyss Jewel
Abyss jewels x2
If jewels are too expensive - decrease the roll
