Cheap, Tanky, DPSy: Summon Raging Spirit [not updated for 1.3+]

"

Dying Breath now grants 18% increased Aura Effect, instead of 18% increased damage taken. Old copies of the item have been automatically updated.

Time update the spreadsheets I guess. Any rough estimation on how Dying Breath compares to a +2 Fire Gems Staff, assuming they are 5L?

Streamer ZiggyD came up with this SRS HP Build using the Scion start: http://tinyurl.com/nwl7ysq

I find it very interesting especially since i want to go HP. At level 90 without any items we get 3.1 k hp. With an average of 70 hp/item we get to 5k hp if we use Belly of the beast (wich i will use)

If (and this seems the case) Generosity affects your spirits, how do you plan to your links?
Link both Hatred and Haste to Generosity or just Hatred?

According to wiki, assuming Generosity stacks additively with passive tree bonuses

Hatred L20 + Generosity L20 = ~14% cold damage increase
Haste L20 + Generosity L20 = ~6% attack speed and ~4% movement speed increase for minions, at the expense of 8% move speed and 16% cast speed for your character

Personal opinion, I think 6% extra AS isn't worth losing so much cast speed, also that 8% movement is very nice, I really love mobility since defensive capabilities of this build are somewhat limited.
Effect on hatred instead is small, but worty imo, unless you struggle for free sockets (it requires 2 more anyway, Generosity + another Reduced Mana, because linking everything on a 5l chest will give Clarity to your minions :P)

If i think about it generosity isnt really worth it because before i cleared everything with insane speed just using 2 vaal hastes, i never got the chance to use flesh offering on maps. That being said, i think if we put flesh offering in combination for maps it will more than compensate for the 20% nerf.

If generosity works with minions I will put it in my calculator and see whether the intuitive generosity-hatred only is better than generosity-hatred-haste.

Other than that Ziggy's build is a start for IR based SRS, but I would look at Peppermint's Scion tree if you want to do that. Skipping 32% aura effect is a huge mistake.

It should: "Generosity, and the Auras themselves, specify allies. Your minions are always your allies"source

That is good news.
So would this current build suffice running another aura or do we get try to get some more aura nodes?

The current build will be ES/Life hybrid. It takes all aura nodes except the ones by unwavering stance.

fixed the link for mine. Guess poebuilder was acting up

Thinking of this, no EE (yet) for party play, the problem is the skill point seems way too tight if going for aura.
