pros and cons
ProKill everything and never die - relatively cheap for most pieces of gear. You can sleep when playing.
Conyou'll lose any purpose to play another build. Chaos damage is a bit of a problem - but sort of not really. Just want to let you know this is the only weakness I've seen.
My Current Gear
one staff is for leveling gems. HEADHUNTER IS NOT MANDATORY - SECOND BELT IS REALLY GOOD STILL. HEADHUNTER IS FOR FUN.

Common Questions
No, the Witch Area is not better for Mana Regen.
And No Charisma (10 skill points) is NOT worth it. And no - Eldritch Battery and Zealot's Oath (EB+ZO) is NOT worth it Arctic Armor is bad. No, Alpha's Howl is not great for this build. No, Anger isn't that great (especially with the added damage nerf in 2.0) Why don't we use Multistrike in Act 2.0 Anymore? Because we have more access to increased modifiers - which benefit gems such as Minion Damage and Melee Physical Damage (both MORE Multipliers) Why Belly of the Beast? H00g life pool to survive massive hits Why no Zealot's Oath? Because as SRS, you shouldn't be getting hit too often, and whatever is hitting you, should die really fast. Why Phase Run? Phase Run is mandatory in a good SRS build, allows you to reposition, gives you movement speed (sans flask charges), synergizes with your cast speed, increased skill duration and requires 155 dex (haste requirements), also links well with faster casting (0.20 second cast time) and your increased duration gem linked to Vaal Haste + Flesh Offering, meaning you get a 5-6 second 40% movement speed buff with a 4 second cooldown. Pre 2-0 we had Inner Force (18% increased buff effects) which gave us a lot of movement speed from quicksilvers + Haste + vaal haste, with the removal of Inner Force we lost a lot of momentum/movement speed. So we use phase run to fix this. Phase run also lets you maneuver against totems(allies cannot die) and take out important targets such as Storm Herald Rares, and lets you run through mobs to safety and open strongboxes. In my opinion, it beats out Flame Dash. Why Chaos Golem? We take some minion life on our tree, synergy, minor gem slot investment, although it can be taken out, for the cost of 1 gem slot we're getting a substantial defensive boost thanks to its % damage reduction. Also it's a minion, so it does a lot of damage... - I like using Rallying Cry now as of August 19th. Why Immortal Call? So it takes longer for us to die, and if it takes longer, we can react faster or lazier, meaning we can run, or stay and fight. It's playstyle. Why no Enlighten? Don't need it - you get nothing from having more Mana Why no Mind over Matter? Because it needs to hit your LIFE POOL, not energyshield pool, it's worthless. Why so much mana dude? To do less regen maps - less mana regen as a map mod is more common, but less effective (-20% instead of -50%) although -60% is mildly crippling, I can still do it quite fast with my build. This build just lets me do more map mods. That's all. I am a Mirror, I do not exist. Last edited by SwordDivine#5724 on Aug 20, 2015, 2:19:57 AM

cool beans, was interested in SRS but heard it got nerfed in 2.0. Build looks great, may start leveling a scion and give it a try.
currently my main is a lv90 2h axe, resolute technique, blood magic marauder though, so i pretty much have a godly clear speed toon already for maps...he's melee but eh im softcore. would SRS (more specifically, your SRS) be competitive for atziri runs or is it pretty much CoC/Incinerate ? |
|
" My build is arguably better for Atizi/Uber Atziri I've done both, I don't have a video. I've streamed runs before on my twitch. SRS is definitely stronger this patch in terms of damage, strong enough to match level 80+ maps for new content, we also got buffed in terms of skill points so we're arguably tankier. If you have any concerns just ask and I'll try and put them away for you. I am a Mirror, I do not exist. Last edited by SwordDivine#5724 on Jul 16, 2015, 11:28:16 PM

Would you recommend this for HC or only SC?
Rly dont wanna die :D |
|

I've played it Hc, if you modify it for more life jewels then it works fine, you might need to run Mom and maybe arctic armor but Hc is possible. I died three times from 92-93 so take that as you like. The most important thing is how you move and play. I personally enjoy being near the front of the packs so my minions kill fadter, but aometimes you can use corners or doorways to be safe. Its more of a playstyle thing if you want Hc or SC.

Thanks for bothering putting this together!
Any thoughts on using a golem (for passives it grants) ? | |
|
Ive conaidered using a chaos golem in lieu of faster casting in my arv setup but I'm not fond of recasting it whenever it dies. I guess it would work decently, but since. I play standard I dont really care too much about 4% reductions. It doesn't fit my speedy playstyle but for others I can definitely see it as a viable option.
