Perfect Pain Artist - PoB Bait?

I'm tinkering with a shock nova of procession build that uses two spectres; Perfect Spirit of Fortune and Perfect Pain Artist.

They're 4-linked with the typical meat shield, minion life and elemental army. Convocation is setup with automation for the life regen. Gems are all 20/20 at least but otherwise I don't have any minion gear.

Perfect Spirit of Fortune can live through maps and has obvious utility, no issue there.

I can't keep Perfect Pain Artist alive for more than the first mob or two. The thing is made of paper. It would be nice to have but not mandatory since it's mostly dead at any given time.

Is the PPA PoB bait to inflate numbers or can I somehow get it to live through maps without a ton of investment?
