[2.1 Ghazzy - Summoner Guides] High Budget Builds

Introduction:

This build is designed for 1 thing, and 1 thing only. Uber Atziri.
That it happens to have an insane map-clearing speed doesn't matter. We are strictly building this towards Uber Atziri farming.

The build has the most insane damage of all summoner builds on the market, it is what most people call: "A Fucked Up Build". It is the type of build that I've personally ran Uber Atziri services with prior to the 2.0 patch, over 1000 times. Now, SRS builds are even stronger.

Enjoy!

Skill-Gems & Setups:

Summon Raging Spirits:
Summon Raging Spirit + Echo + Minion Damage + Melee Physical Damage + Empower(4) + Melee Splash (if Pledge of Hands => Add Culling Strike)
When doing trash or maps, change Melee damage on full life for Melee Splash. This is while using the absolute best staff in the game for this build, which is: Pledge of Hands!
Should you for some odd reason do this build without having the currency for it, which i do NOT recommend. A +3 Staff is absolutely viable, but not as good.

Keep in mind that IF you have an INSANE ammount of mana regen via gear and NOT spending extra nodes for mana/mana regen and/or mana cost reduction nodes to sustain the use of Multistrike you should change Culling Strike for this. I will repeat the fact that you should NOT get to that point via extra nodes in the tree as getting more minion damage jewels is more efficient, but IF your GEAR allows you to, the Multistrike gem is a better choice.

Meat Shields:
Raise Zombie + Animate Guardian + Minion Life + Fortify
These links must be used in a +2 to Minion Gems helmet.

There are arguements saying it is not worth using the Animate Guardian. However, this build is displaying the absolute maxed out build you could possibly imagine.

Elemental Equilibrium:
Spell Totem + Arc

Auras:
Discipline
Clarity + Haste + Blood Magic + Enlighten(3-4)
Anger + Hatred + Generosity + Enlighten(4)

This is how the aura pool should look like when everything is equipped: https://poe.mikelat.com/#bv3R75/H8L7h/vNGw4/sYGvWFPb

Utility:
Vaal Summon Skeletons
Vaal Haste
Vaal Haste
Vaal Haste
Desecrate
Flesh Offering
Summon Chaos Golem

Keep in mind that the extra Vaal Gems are used specifically for the Uber Atziri map.

Passive Skill-Tree:



Keep in mind that this link is to a LvL 100 Witch as it is the absolute best class for this build. If you're playing another class my suggestion would be to either do your own version, or simply get your ass in to the route asap! If you are below LvL 100, remove what ever node you feel is not required, depending on gear it could mean less effective HP by removing Energy Shield nodes, or simply remove a Jewel slot or 2.

If you are sustaining the mana to cast your spirits you shoudl look in to removing mana & mana regen. If you can remove these you can either reach more jewel slots or grab cast speed nodes at this point. Or if you're having mana issues, go for the "Dynamo" cluster. Just remember that you will have an absurd ammount of cast speed at this stage. You will only get 0.01 sec faster casting on your SRS for roughly 8-10% cast speed gain. Which makes it a lot better to spend more points to reach another jewel slot.

Bandit Quest Rewards:

Gearing and stat priorities:

* Pledge of Hands
* Shavronne's Wrappings
* Minion Damage Jewels with spell cost reduction
* Capped Resistances
* 159+ Dexterity
* 114+ Strength
* 21/20 and/or 20/20 gems

Due to being an extreme high budget build, there are no priorities. These stats are what you NEED to make this build work as it should be working.
I can't stress the fact enough, that you should not be doing this build without having everything you need to test it.

Jewels:

Affixes in order of efficiency:

1) Minion Damage (Prefix)
2) Spell Cost Reduction
3) Any type of cast speed (atk/cast hybrid, fire skills, staves, normal cast speed)
4) Energy Shield / Dexterity / Resistances (Anything to help gearing really)

Again, these stats are the absolute best ones in order of efficiency, as long as you have Minion Damage + any of the cast speed modifiers it will be a good gem for you. Anything extra is just a bonus.




For the sake of a few laughs of how insane this build is, theres a DPS guide video I made for this specific build just before i minmaxed every little detail within it during the 1.3 patch.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=41PPZLHHB48
In this video you can also see the boss fights in the Atziri map, the only difference in terms of execution is during the Trio-Boss where you should always place a Vaal Summon Skeletons in the bottom corner just before you start pre-casting prior to intiating the fight. This is done to avoid getting one shotted by the Rain of Arrows done by, A'Alai!

On top of the build being nerfed then, as well as an extra bit for The Awakening. We are ultimately doing MORE damage than we did during that video. Quiet a lot so as well...
