Help me with Atziri please.

I've been following Moraines build for an SRS atziri killer. Ive died about 4 times now due to the split phases of NORMAL fucking Atziri. I get murdered by the flameblasts in record time. I have 90 fire resist with a flask and POF.

I can handle the Vaals. The trio is tough but I can get past them. And the Atziri fight is fine until the first split phases, where I just get dominated by the damage.

Should I tuck myself into the doorway so that my skulls are only hitting the first Atziri clone? Does it matter if some of them go to the others right when it starts?

Any help would be great.

Many guides around mention the fact that you shouldn't be getting hit by flameblast.
SRS is glasscannon and you should avoid any kind of dmg unless with mirror gear.


What you want to do is to nuke her while in the split phase.

Have 3 vaal haste gems with you.

Whenever she goes into split phase, pop vaal haste, spam srs, desecrate+FO and totem if you cna squeeze it in.
When the transformation ends, you need to move your ass and kite the spells while your spirits do their job. You can pop 2 spirits here and there if you time it right.

Don't use VH when she's in her regular form. desecrate+FO is more important that the 4 spirits you would cast in the same amount of time, IMHO.

I also needed to practice this routine, it get's easier after some time.


€ you should have your CWDT setup changed. Make sure it's CWDT+EC+IC following the links order.
How you linked it it's EC+CWDT+IC

€2 make sure your hatred is linked with reduced mana and with generosity, if possible. You don't benefit from hatred anyway while SRS gets a significant damage boost.

€3 knowing your tree/stats could also shed some light on your problems

Hey thanks for the info. I will change my gem setup I didn't realize that the EC IC was in the wrong order.

That's my tree at the moment.

Most important thing with SRS builds is skill duration. It won't work well without it.
Your tree shows you went for the Harrier first whichch is bad, IMHO.

I would respec these 5 points to get to Exceptional Performance.

Your spell totem with arc does nothing to you when you haven't taken Elemental Equilibrium.
It's one point away and is very useful with regards to Atziri farming. You can skip it for mapping but with your gear/gems and Atziri plans, you should definitely consider this mechanic.

There are many trees possible, this is what I did + gear:



I would read few other guides hanging around the boards (witch/scion boards) to see how it can be done differently.
