[1.3.1] Prism Guardian SRS [SC]

Bandits:
- Help Oak (+Life)
- Help Alira/Kill all
(I'd recommand Alira since it grants 5% cast speed in Closed Beta I've heard?)
- Kill all

Weapon
For your weapon, remind yourself that SRS is a spell that summons a minion that deals minion physical attack damage, 50% of which is converted to fire on hit. Therefore, any damage modifier (spell, attack, fire, elemental, Le Heup) on your gear won't boost SRS since it only affects your damage and not minion damage.

So what do you need for your weapon?
- Cast speed (more minions, more dps)
Yeah that's kind of all you really need...

Other utility stuff that is cool to have :
- Mana regeneration rate
- Additionnal max mana
- Resistances

Good alternatives :
- Aurumvorax (provides insane elemental resistances)
- Reverberation rod (you can stick in your SRS setup while leveling for free echo)




Helmet
I use Alpha's Howl to boost my auras and for the 8% reduced mana reservation.
If you can't afford it, you can still run all auras without problem without it and the more life reserved is actually compensated with an extra life roll on your helmet.
^Note : With new updated aura setup, we technically CAN run all auras without Alpha's, but we end up with only 1% of mana unreserved... You will need to put Clarity, Haste and Reduced mana in shield and run Anger, Generosity, Reduced mana, (Empower?) on mana without this cool hat.

If you're a fan of wearing animal heads, you can use a fancy Starkonja's Head which provides a decent amount of life and dexterity for cheap, if you don't need extra resistances.



Amulet
Preferably a Paua amulet (extra mana regeneration rate)
Looking for :
- Life
- Mana regeneration rate

Other beneficial shit :
- Cast speed
- Additional max mana
- Increased energy shield Specced out of EB :P
- Resistances (if you need)

If you are rich or just fan of science, you can go full YOVO and vaal your ammy for a tasteful 20% increased minion damage (I am currently wearing a corrupted Stone of Lazhwar, which is far from BiS)


Rings
Preferably Coral Rings (extra life) or Unset Rings (MOAR SOCKETS)
If you use Unset Rings, you can put in :
- Curse
- Portal
- Desecrate
- Vaal Haste/Skellies
- Flesh offering
- Arctic Armour
- ...

What you need on rings is just about the same as on your amulet.
-8 mana cost of skills is also nice!


Chestpiece
Best chest would be Belly of the Beast, but you can use a rare chest for extra resistances or a Tabula Rasa (used it all the way to lvl 81 in 1mHC).


Gloves, Boots, Belt
Not much to say, the usual life stacking and resistances, if you can craft cast speed on your gloves, that's nice too!

Interesting alternative :
- Goldwyrm (mana regeneration)

Main skill :
- Summon Raging Spirits
- Spell Echo
- Melee Splash (Replace with Added Fire for singletarget [Atziri, Dom runs])
- Multistrike
- (Melee Physical Damage)
- (Minion Damage) <-- This may actually be a better 5th link since it also boosts all elemental damage from auras!

Alpha's Howl :
- Hatred
- Wrath
- Generosity
- Reduced Mana

Prism Guardian :
- Anger
- Generosity
- Reduced Mana

Weapon :
- Enduring Cry
- Spell Echo
- Arctic Armour

4L :
- Haste
- Clarity
- Reduced Mana
- Flesh Offering

4L :
- Vaal Haste (Replace with Desecrate when running Atziri)
- Vaal Haste
- Immortal Call
- Increased Duration

I ran this same build during the Torment/Bloodlines 1-month Hardcore league up to lvl 81.
The reason why I chose this build is because I was scared of reflect and corrupting blood, and with a minion build, you are immune to these annoyances, plus the fact that Raging Spirits can tank projectiles for you even though they aren't directly targeted.

It felt safe overall, but I died unfortunately to Perpetus in a full party, because I carelessly (I already got all the Sanguine set) rushed to him, accidentally re-casted a blank Immortal Call which canceled the older one's duration and got caught in a bear trap.
RIP in scrubcore noobshit.

Moral of the story : Don't be too confident and you'll be fine.
