haste is extremely good.
I'd get it before hatred, and get hatred as soon as you get a ES chest and drop discipline.
that's how I lvled anyway. but you can worry about that late game.
zombies kinda suck imo.... but personal pref, you can use if you want. in a SRS build they'll die a lot.. not to mention gem sockets required. I focus on my own tankiness and SRS do all the dmg needed. kinda like a selfcast build.(im lvl 87 in beyond soloing everything 77 maps)

How do you get that str and dex with your gear? got same almost gear and lack like 50 dex with your same tree! Do i need to really take dex and str nodes?

If you like minion builds, I would recommend doing a dominating blow build - I'll possibly make a build thread and link it here. You already have a lot of the gems required to make your minions very powerful.

In 1.1.5 Peppermint and I played around with a 4L dom blow, but I decided to drop it because especially in parties, but even in solo the mobs would get shattered so dominating was too unreliable.

So I was looking at my L95 tree, and you can really only save 3 mana reservation points by not going for haste, since you will still need dex for vaal haste. (dropping vaal haste is a terrible idea). There's definitely no way you can get the DPS output of haste for 3 points. Using my DPS calculator, with vaal haste up (i.e. when the cast/atk from haste has lowest effect) you would need about 90% minion damage to make up for the loss of haste. There's no way you can get 90% minion damage for three points.

My belt gives 48 dex, other than that, yeah those +30 dex nodes are necessary.

How do you have enough Mana to cast with a 6L?

Just got my new 6L Staff and can't use it because the Manacosts exceed the mana I have left.



I have 88 Mana Left but the skill costs 117 Mana, manareg at 236/sec, 1246 Maxmana.

Links are SRS - Echo - Multistrike - MS - MPD - MD. My Empower is not even lvl 2 atm.
With Added Fire instead of MD it would cost 94 Mana, with Empower 98. I just don't get what I'm missing to make this work.

The other Problem I got with my 5L was, my AA always ran out, not because I had too little Manaregen, but because my mana reached 0 just by casting.

reduced mana lvl 18?

hey guys, I am sorry if this question has been posted already, but I am currently playing a summoner on the beyond HC league atm, still searching for a 5-6L +2 staff before transitioning into full SRS. Can I use Cloak of Defiance and run EB or would the HP/ES hybrid be more tankier?

Why MPD over Minion Dmg in the link priority ?

MD does +45-77% and MPD does 30-49%.

@BamsheeLP you need L20 or L21 red mana. Until then keep EB on and don't use discipline. It's a endgame build and has tough requirements on gear. Also when you do transition to the endgame build take out cwdt-ec-ic-dur, you need dur on FO-VH-VDis.

@Aei: HP/ES is more total effective HP since you run 3-4 auras on mana, and don't have enough for the 40% mom from cloak to really effective.

@tase: increased vs more damage. Basics.

is more effective u use 3 life pots with instant recovery and remove bleding in trio on atziris map
when u press flesh and vaal haste stay close using pots u dont die and kill fast,

pots like it

Having been dubious about SRS since it came out i finally decided to give it a shot following this guide and i must say its super fun. Since my gems are mixture of quality and regular gems i was just wondering in what order you would prioritize getting Q20 gems.

Thanks for the awesome guide
