Moiraine: Life-based SRS specialized for uber

I use vaal haste, 99% sure i use flesh offering (its usualy after ads phase so theres a bunch of corpses), and EE actualy dies pretty instantly (totem is lvl 18), but i always put it up anyway.
Both vaal hastes i own are on gear also..

Hey MF,

Im currently in Bloodlines right now and I was wondering waht you would suggest.

In betyond, i went with this build - http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1012651

It worked really well but i felt that the zombies were a b it clunky since u had to stop and cast them, plus they werent THAT tanky. Im considering just getting right of it (im lv 70 atm)

I just started gearing up for maps so I havent bought much yet.
I do have my +2 fire, 5L staff and lv 20 SRS already, but now I'm stuck on armor.

What would you recommend out of the below?- my main objective is to stay alive (so decent life) and to do maps really fast) so should I -

1 Stay with zombie tanks + SRS?

2 Get rid of zombies, get alpha, add another aura (purity of ___ ?) and then add totem + arc + summon skele? (ive never tried proccing EE with SRS before, so is this a HUGE boost in damage?)

3 Get Alpha + Cloak of Defiance? MY only concern with this is that Im only getting CoD to help me tank, however, if im getting alpha and running 4 auras, my unreserved mana is going to be so low, and in order to make use of MoM, i'd like to absorb more than just like...300 dmg (300 unreserved).. I just dont see me having over 1000 unreserved mana after running clairty, hatred, haste and something else (with alpha)

any tips?

Thank you!

Well i finally got her. After having my SRS level to 19 and drop Unwavering Stance to get more mana/manaregen.
But i'm still having LOTS of trouble with her split phase, i killed her with like 1 portal left..

What should I use if as a 6L if my Empower use only level 2?

Minion damage if you can afford the mana cost. Otherwise culling strike.

yangcliu: for armor I recommend belly of the beast. I don't have experience with HC. Zombies are useless on SC though, so I imagine you can play without them on HC too. Make sure you have a 3L or 4L CWDT. The 4th link can be frost wall or increased duration.

Elemental equilibrium is huge. If you're not worried about uber atziri, I recommend you use arc-curse on hit-enfeeble instead of using spell totem.

Some leveling trees for 40/60/80 points would really help. Im not really sure what direction take first.

How come you recommend belly over Defiance? Just curious

Also - if i get alpha + belly, does that mean I need to get solely ES gloves,helm,boots?

It doesn't really matter. Take minion dmg, then life, and then some aura nodes when you get aura gems. But I posted some trees in OP if you want to see.

Yangcliu2: cloak doesn't work well when you have less than 1k of unreserved mana.

Is inner force really worth it? I can only run a lvl 15AA right now (without IF). What are your reasons for running it?

IF increases to lvl 20 gems:
haste - 1.89% move spd / 3.36% cast Spd
clarity - 4.9 mana regen
AA - 40 dmg reduction / 48 mana degen

Am I missing something? Do you simply do it because you can with lvl 20 gems? Thanks for any input.

EDIT: Anyone?

I'm pretty sure it helps PoF Achieve more max fire res?
Idk.
