Does a 15% increased minion damage passive have any benefit to SRS over the 16% increased spell damage passive at the witch start?

SRS don't benefit from spell or fire damage on tree/gear.

Could you guys working on a CI build do the math on mana regen with certain levels of gear, since that's the main issue facing CI.

If i use legacy Shavronne's Wrappings i can skip chaos inoculation? an keep same build?

If you take Eldrich Battery then No. You won't have any energy shield.

If you do Not take Eldrich Battery then yes. Whatever energy shield you have will be used by chaos (and all) damage before life. In this case you'll actually want more energy shield nodes.

The Tree


CI Variation setup to use AA & Cloak of Defiance if you wish. I don't have itemization or anything in there right now, but you have what you need. You can get enough Mana regen in the tree, though I trimmed a bit off as i wasn't accounting for any from gear. This is using the old AA cost, this may have changed. This is running Haste, Hatred, & Clarity. It is also possible to run Purity if needed/desired, but will further hamper MoM if you choose to use it (Cloak of Defiance).

Without gear taken into account, +Mana mostly. This will leave you around 350-400 Mana for MoM, only around 200 if you are using Purity of elements as well.

Depending on priorities, personal preference, etc. some parts of the tree can be moved around...but it's all pretty spread out. Some customization is possible, but probably not much if you want all of these things.

Thoughts?

Hey guys. I played raging spirits in the 1 month challenge league and i used Crezzury's build. I must say it worked very well. With the new tree skill i had doubts that SRS will be as good but in the end i think it will work afterall.

Here is the passive skill tree i came up with: http://tinyurl.com/n5hfrc7

The build will have the following mainstats from the tree:

94 Strength
74 Dexterity
312 Intelligence

118% Maximum Life

175% mana regeneration
120% mana
30% cast speed
34% reduced mana reserved
42% increased effect of auras you cast

Minions have 30% maximum life
Minions deal 105% damage
MInions hve 20% atack speed

45% Skill Effect Duration

I decided to go an HP version even though CI seems to be the big hype this league, because i tried all the combinations and in each one of them i cam up short dexterity or strength or the path was purely inneficient

What i really like in this tree is that i can suppliment whatever i need because all the paths are open for me.

- Need more cast speed? No problem, with 4 more points i can get +18% from Dominion node+3 cast speed nodes from witch start

- Need more HP? no problem, as i am already in the Scion Life % wheel i can get 25% more hp

- Not enough mana to run the auras i want? no problem, i am 2 points away from Eldritch Battery

- The effectiveness of SRS is not enought becauuse of Skill Duration? No problem, i am 2 points away from another 45%.

- Problem with mantaining mana regeneration for casting? I won't use Cloack of Defiance or MoM so 400 mana unreserved should be enough, but in any case, with exactly 3 points i can get 16% more mana+16% Reduced Mana cost skills From Dynamo

Now because i used only 103 points i can easily adapt to the next patch.

The main problem of this build is that you will have very very low damage reduction because no Iron Reflex and no MoM.

If that is realy the case then i will have to switch to this build: http://tinyurl.com/ot2zbwm

Here i loose a lot of cast speed and take EB and gain tons of survivability.

In the end, its all about the patch notes to see witch path to take, but the second skill tree is just a backup plan if i really feel i need more defenses.

Any feedback is welcomed, as i am sure i missed something ( I always do ).

EDIT: The links i will use are the following

6Link +2 fire gems staff (+1+2 would be ideal but with the popularity of SRS that will be 50-100 Exalts and crafting one is clearly not an option)
- SRS+Multistrike+Melee Splash+Spell Echo+Melee Phisical+Minion Damage

4 Link: CWDT lvl 10+Immortal call+Increase Duration+Enduring Cry
4 Link: Reduced Mana+ Haste+Hatred+Clarity
4 Link: Vaal Haste+Vaal Haste+Increase Duration+Flesh Offering
6 Socket Chest with following links: 3L: Reduced Mana++Arctic Armor+Enfeeble
3L: Lightning Warp+Reduced Duration+Faster Casting

Your links lead to the current passive tree and none of your planned passives build is visible in a browser - at least, that was my experience.

If you make your build on poebuilder.com and paste the website address for your build into your post, then others can very easily see your plans.

Sry, i thought you guys use the offline calculator and paste the passive tree there and load build. I will move them to poebuilder. Give me 5 minutes

Edited: Updated with poebuilder.com links

I dont really like Lightning Warp for an SRS build, since reduced duration just mitigates the increased duration nodes, but maybe an nice slow lighting warp will work nicely for strongboxes. Cast Warp, Cast Totem, stack Spirits, open Strongbox and then warp away ;)

I plan on a life based build for the Rampage League, since I feel like it will be easier to react to ingame expierence, drops and meta.
The basic tree I plan to achieve will be:


From this tree I will then start the "end game build" depending on the availability of Alphas, Lightning Coil, Cloak of Defiance and Belly of the Beast.

So if Belly of the Beast will not be very expensive I might just say "CwDt+IC+EC+IncDur" is all the mitigation I need. After all Gem + Tree are 150% increased duration which is about 2 seconds immunity if a EC generates a charge.
So I will get life and for managing Mana get all worthwhile Reduced Skill Cost nodes on the tree (43% total).

This tree includes also the Flask Effect nodes since +50% charge recovery from Belly and +16% Flask Duration will provide a high flask uptime.

If I manage to obtain an Alpha or a CoD I will go EB and also grab the Influence Cluster, so I try to achieve some thing like this if I have an Alpha and get MoM from the tree:


I also noticed that my trees travel close to a lot of block clusters, but getting a shield and using the chest for the SRS links would be so much more expensive and "lacking" in DPS.
