A question to honourable Tahreyn:

Can you show, please, your current Minion Damage Modifier?

Thank you in advance!

Hello. My current Minion Damage Modifier for my SRS is 264%.
90% from skill tree.
90% from Ascendancy.
31% from Jewels.
15% from Minion Damage Quality.
38% from United in Dream.

Thanks for the build, currently lvl 80 with 9.1k ES and have no problems in T10-12 maps right now. Im just wondering if void manipulation would be better as culling strike or not, i missed that compare somewhere in build description or it wasn't mentioned. And currently im using such ring, one high lvl summoner showed and i though that could be nice idea for boosting our discipline aura:

Maybe someone tried that out and could tell if this can be better than ring with 40~ flat, int, 5-20% es? I've capped my resistances on gear at least for 135..

edit: btw, do we use envy aura? Somehow i run Grace, Haste, Discipline, Purity of elements + Generosity linked with Hatred, Wrath, Anger and dont have enough life to use envy aura, or its optional and i should turn off another aura for it? I took all reduced mana reserved nodes and have 5% reduced mana on helm.. Enlighten maybe would help, but i see no enlighten at your gear setup.

You're very welcome! In my setups I am not using Void Manipulation, Culling Strike should be better for you. Sunleonid did a version of this build that focused on maxing the poison damage, so if you want to go for that you can look up his posts in this thread.

The Pariah is a good ring that's not too expensive and I've used it myself for a while in this league, but I wouldn't go for any items without resists if you don't have ~170% all res. If you are running the damage version of the build, then I would try to get 1 good rare Unset Ring, and a Shavronne's Revelation for your rings.

We are running the Envy Aura, but because we support it with generosity in the sword it doesn't show in the aura bar. However, in order to run Envy, you will need to drop your Purity, which might make it hard to reach your resistance goals.

Lvl 93 with this build, United in Dream, 10k ES, 8 Auras.. No chance on the T16 guardians..

Guess I'm a somewhat short on damage in MF equipment but still, even in DPS setup killing T16's with this is a close call at best. Personally I'm looking for some other build to take down the guardians themselves.

It is a bit strange that you are struggling on the guardians. I usually have no problems at all doing them with a 5L, and with my current gear I farm them almost as easily as any other map. And if I would bring a Vaal Lightning trap as I did in some of the kill videos it's even easier.

Looking at your character I don't see any flaws. The only think I could think of that would make the guardians easier is to try swapping out your 3x Sacrificial Harvests with rare jewels that have %minion Damage and %ES.

I might just do that ;) Could I link to your items if I don't have (or make) time to try it out myself?. But if/when I add it to the guide I would most likely have tried it out first. It would feel a bit wrong for me to have a part of the guide that I haven't tried out myself, and I couldn't comfortably support ppl playing it if I hadn't played it myself.

Sure you can! But if you manage to get about 11ex to waste(you resell them pretty easily) on 6L +3bow and a 5L shav(no 6L 1 unlinked for clarity w/o generosity), you should give it a try!
Might be a bit tricky early as has a sighly different playstyle than 1h version :D

Hmm, maybe I should've done that yday instead of buying a 6l shavs and bricking it with a vaal orb :P but I might go ahead and do a compilation on "How to not use Vaal orbs" >_<

So I just got a 4% reduced mana reserved helmet (replaced a 3% I was using) and realized that the 1% reduction isn't enough to decrease the % on my auras. I wanted to ditch the conquerors efficiency, so I could run 8 auras without it, but I still can't. Currently, with all my auras up, and no conquerors efficiency I am sitting at 30 health, which is 8 mana short to cast my SRS. The 1% upgrade from the 3 to the 4% helmet does nothing for my mana reserved, but the 2% from conquerors efficiency pops me up to around 130HP. My base HP is 1550. Am I doing something wrong, or is that just how this is, and you have to run conquerors efficiency to run all 8 auras?

Your character tab is set to private, so I can't say anything for certain. If you have all the aura nodes and etc. then you should be able to drop the jewel if you use the Deafening Essence of Loathing for the 5% reduced mana.

I'm not really sure tbh, do you roll them with nasty modifiers or just alch/chaos until you get good mods?

When doing them on a 5L early on in the league then I'm very careful with what modifiers I run them with, but now I just chisel + alch them and run with it as long as it isn't no regen.


EDIT:
I've moved the guide to a new thread https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1816896/, so please use that thread for future questions.

I have been sort of following this build as I have transitioned off of a CI build I found somewhere, and there was one thing that I didn't see discussed anywhere is why not use multistrike? I thought that the math worked out that it was one of the better supports for SRS.
