5 Aura SRS scion summoner, Dem Booffs.

With the aura changes, having a large pool of auras was difficult and required so much investment for just half of what we could do in 1.3. Now however, there's a new unique which we can use to wipe those tears away.



"But Asia-senpai, we can't bask in the glory of all these auras ourselves with level 1 generosity on it!"
"No need to worry Exile-chan, for we aren't using it ourselves but for the glory of our minions! (K, that was pretty weird.)"

While the chest could indeed be used for aurabotting, its not entirely fun to depend on others to kill things for us, which is why having minions is the perfect thing for this chest. This doesn't apply strictly to just Summon raging Spirits, you can use it on any other type of summon as well as your own party members. How does this chest make life so much sweeter you say? I'm glad you asked!

The pros of this chest are:
huge decrease in mana reservation
Auras are +1 and have increased effect (10%-15%) and radius (10%-20%)
Doesn't need a 6l to function properly, a 6l would be a plus.
Decent enough chest considering what it does.
Physical and elemental damage builds love you.
You can run a higher level generosity to overwrite the level 1 effect

Cons of this chest are:
No life
No benefits to you from auras.
No tooltip for Summon Raging Spirits.

So, on to tree. This is not a guide really so I'll just put it out there. Also there's variations in case you need resistance or mana.

Base Tree - Core baseline.

Life Tree- Cuz you don't like dying


Resistance tree - Easier to cap your resistance

My tree that I use -Updated-


What auras are you running:
Anger, Hatred, Haste, Wrath, and Clarity. Arctic armor is also possible to run with high mana regeneration and enough mana left over to spam SRS.

What benefits do you get for running so many aura nodes?
54% increased effect of auras and 34% reduced mana reserved. Running Hatred, Anger, Wrath, and Haste will only take 19% of your mana each without enlighten (76%, 72% if running conqueror's efficiency). With 15% increased effect from chest, that is 69%. With just level 1 generosity, you gain 20% for a total of 89% increased aura effect. Running a level 20 generosity would add 20% more increased effect for a grand total of 109% increased effect of auras. You have doubled your Aura effects socketed within the unique aura chest.
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN ASIA-SENPAI??
Minions hit harder. Party members hit harder. How much harder? I didn't screen shot anything nor asked anyone to so I'll just give tooltip dps from people I remember telling me of them. These are only tooltips so actual dps I dunno.
Windripper split arrow dude-14k->46k
Critical physical tornado shot dude - 35k->65k
Cyclone dude- 20k->65k
Rf dude- he didn't care.

Basically, its like you applied your offensive auras a bit over twice. You also have improved mana regeneration for clarity by 54% as well of the flat rate it gives you. Your vaal hastes are also 54% better and they last about 16 seconds each.

So....gear and links?



What in the world I use:


What the f*ck are you using in your links??

Haste doesn't affect you, why not leave it out of chest and reap the benefits?

Are you sure this isn't a guide?


Any feedback is nice, feel free to express yourself.

this is a guide.

I notice you and quite a few other build-posters don't use SRS + Multistrike any more....

Can someone explain to me why it's not used this patch?

Insane damage needs no multiple attacks. On the upside, culling strike has gotten buffed in that there is no attack or cast speed penalty so all that quality is only benefiting you greatly + insta cull when below 10% health. It adds out to be more dps overall over multi strike.

I still use multi strike though because I got mf cull friends.

Ok so your tree has 104% increased life for endgame...
Does this mean that any hit by any enemy will oneshot you?

This just doesn't look standard-viable.

first of all, thanks for this build.

It is quite fun to play, rocking the lv 87 atm. It is insanely good for party play (support and ST-wise) and quite good for soloing maps with pretty much any mod.
Even tho it feels good most of the time, I struggle quite a lot with getting oneshot sometimes. Even skilled some extra HP nodes and spend currency on getting high Hp roles on the slots not blocked by the uniques we need.

How did you handle the fact that this build is quite squishy?

Thanks in advance and for this build.

cheers

Your tree seems to only have 34% reduced management reserved, where did you get 38 from?

Sorry about that, updated a tree for more life. The way I handled being squishy is to summon my chaos golem ahead of me in case of scary maps and spam skulls to kill things. After that I summon spectres to tank and some zombies. Once I get my vaal haste going, clearing is cake and my skulls one shot most white mobs. Fire resist takes a good 2-3 hits from a skull. I've also started to use spell totem + arc ahead of myself at times to proc elemental equilibrium and also somewhat get aggro for me.



I fucked up, it is 34% and I typed the wrong number. The auras still only take up 18% mana reserved each though with conqueror's efficiency, 19% without.

ey mate, we need some new Skillpoint-links.
Asap! :D
