I am playing with this build in temp league Some observations:

-enlighten is very hard to have in the beginning of the league so i cant run 3 auras in this build
- Commander of darkness does not work on auras in generosity .. so only 2% increase cast speed . i dont know even is the other 2 auras count as commander of darkness bonus to minions
-Until i get enlighten lvl2 i use current setup without generosity to take advantage of commander of darkness:

discipline-hatered-haste-clarity lvl1 + Conqueror's Efficiency jewel

hey, u absolutely can run all 3 auras without enlighten. I use enlighten bc i dropped the 2 nodes in the leadership bundle, but if u have all the reservation ndoes (*other than duelist area) totals 34% and u can fit hatred anger and haste each will be 33%.

as to comander of darkness yes u will only benefit from 1 aura on u, but minions will benefit from all 3 which is what i want, them to have increased damage and attack. we are overflowing with cast speed in 2.2 . any more is just a joke lol

just hit 59 switched to EB/ZO. Will hit MoM a bit later I think.

I am using Victario's Influence chest for now. It has ES but no life so it's not going to be endgame. However, it allows me to run AA along with Hatred and Anger in chest (AA does not benefit as it's not an aura) and Haste outside the chest.

I also got a +2 staff though it's only in a 4L. It's made a difference for sure. Before this I was using a life sprig and a rare I found in early normal dual wielding alongside a chest ilvl28 haha.

Got the normal ascendency for flesh offering and may do the cruel one soon. I'm currently in Act 2 Merci.

I want to do this build I am level 52 and went minion nodes and summoner. at what point can i switch out minion nodes and move to other nodes like mom and zo

you dont ever switch out of minion nodes. minion damage is always our top priority. eb mom zo is only 3 passives so u can grab them as you level.

Sorry Muddz

I meant I am leveling with zombies and spectres with srs not sure when I dropped all the +zombie and skeletons nodes and drops zombies all together. they are currently squishy but I am using minion instabilily and skelly totem for the detonate dmg. SRS starting to do some pretty awesome dmg and actually thinking of making zombies for tank now. Level 62 and I am super squishy feel i need the meet shields around.

I know we have 90-120% increased skill duration from passives...but is immortal call best CWDT set up for us, even without endurance charges? No curses, frost wall or anything else?

Thanks for the Guide! I'm a pretty new player, but its working out alright so far.

I don't know how many Orbs of Regret one gets over the course of a League, so I'm just following your skill tree, with priority on Minion Damage, some life and Skill Duration

I leveled using Firestorm + Concentrated Effect and Spell Totem + Summon Skeleton. Still using the same
tactics after switching over to SRS at about Lvl 40, when I got the Spell Echo gem. Pulling about 30 SRS max at the moment.

With Clarity and Hatred running, mana is not an issue, but life is very squishy so I just keep popping the Summon Skel ahead of me, if I see it casting, I just spam FS / SRS in the general direction. Still have to kamikaze on Bosses, but so much easier with SRS when I don't have to aim.


Looks like there aren't that many Minion Damage nodes in the skill tree? I think I've gotten all of them already at level 40+?

Next up is life nodes and mana reservation savings.

Any tips for this newbie? What's the next step to progress? (especially in the equipment section?) I've been told I need an ilvl 55 staff for the +fire gem and I'm still looking for a 4-linked helm (and flask of animation?) to get the +1 minion helm. Any advice on how to shortcut the process? Can I actually craft my own 4-link helm?


edit: also, I like the fact that SRS eats up projectiles! they don't stop spells, but at least I dont get hit so often by arrows and lasers. Also, Minion Instability helps at my level! (notably in areas like Perandus chests, where they eat up so much projectiles they do actually explode)

Well the order for levelling would be reverb rod, i switched to a +2 helm at l52 and bought an already +2 gems 5l 18 block staff for 7c (after using all my alts on my 5l staff), i do find the build squishy but think it will round out nicely when i get some decent life/es gear and switch to mom/eb. Prob gonna go double curse on hit with ball lightning gmp.

I've found the build to be very squishy. The cast speed/duration is huge so your skulls can rush ahead and kI'll everything. I also run convocation so I can summon all the zombies back to defend.
I have 3.8k life at lvl 82 and am clearing t6 maps without any issues. Where you stand relative to the mobs is also huge. If they get you, you WILL die. I haven't gotten IC/Duration/CWDT linked yet, but hope that will help with any hits that do get through.

Vaal haste has been amazing. I'm 4 points away from getting my 3rd aura on. Really excited for that....

You are advising to use an empower. Make sure to state, that only a lvl 4 empower will out damage melee physical damage, multistrike or added fire. I would recommend the following links if you dont have an emp lvl4:
single target: srs-echo-melee phys-minion dmg-multi strike
aoe clear: srs-echo-melee phys-minion dmg- adeed fire
Why should you trust me? I already played a lvl 90 SRS Necro in Pera HC and reached T14 Maps. This is by far not the best SRS build. And you should be ashamed of naming it so. Please test your builds before you are spreading unawareness.
