[2.1 Ghazzy - Summoner Guides] High Budget Builds

Hi Ghazzy, great build and guide.

A couple questions:

1. I notice there is a lack of ES nodes on your passive tree. Should I assume that you're getting ES from all the jewel slots? On one of your 1.3 videos you had about 9K ES, how much ES have you got now?

2. Why Culling Strike? I know it gives a damage bonus but would that be outweighed by a gem like Multistrike and Added Fire Damage that you had used on previous versions of this build?

Thanks!

Yea. i also found some stuff in the guide strange... you say pledge is what you should use and in the links for SRS you post echo again?? and whats up with no meele splash in the links??? and culling strike is nice... but meele phys has a more multiplier and culling just increased...

seems strange to me :/

1) This is a high budget build, the ES is gained from gear. In 1.3 I obviously have 0 jewels and almost 10,000 ES.

2) Again, doublechecking gem setups with Axazol, multistrike is maybe going to be implemented. Just don't forget what Culling Strike is doing for you vs bosses, it removes 10% of the targets HP straight off, besides the DMG bonuses.

The Echo spelled in there is implemented without gem in the Pledge setup.
There are 7 gems written for you which includes Pledge's Echo.

can you link your gear please?

I dont understand how a pledge of hands could be best than +3 staff, can you expand here? because i have one 6-link pledge and i have 6-link +3 staff and never try the pledge because i have to change colors and it's on other char.

Thanks Ghazzy

The Pledge of Hands is doing more DPS than a +3 staff.

On top of that it also makes it easier to sustain your spirits when you cast them. That detail alone makes it available for you to remove extra nodes from mana regen and/or mana cost reduction on the tree to be spent on more jewels (which is stronger than cast speed nodes for many reasons).
This will increase the difference even further in terms of DMG output from your staff choice.

ghazz i bought pledge but i was wondering is it still better than +3 fire staff 5l or 5l pledge without the lvl 2 empower cus i don't know if i manage to 6l it so fast

hello, which build of your guide would you recommand for tempest progression ? this is my first character in tempest and i decided to go SRS, preferably full srs unless its realy better to use zombies/spectres or whatever
i checked your low budget builds but idk which one is the best in order to be able to kill atziri (normal) one day

im curently scion lvl 37 using dual flame totem

thanks :)

Thanks for the reply Ghazzy, i have all gems 20/20 but empower lvl 3, i refuse to pay 24 ex for lvl 4 one, i'm saving for a shavronne and i'm close to buy one.
At lvl 90 have 111 passives just like your build without the jewel's sockets because just have one good jewel, all the others jewels are crap, i guess will save to buy some soon, and respect 3 cast speed points to allocate in jewels sockets.
Thanks again.

Please if you can show me your chest configuration would be great, I know staff and helmet setup, but will be nice to see chest, gloves and boots setup, i have in my gloves 2 vaal haste + 1 vaal clarity + increased duration, this setup allows me to sustain vaal haste almost all the time in maps (16 sec each) and vaal clarity (25 sec).

Actually have a 5L vaal regalia with spectres + GMP + Con Effect + Min Damage + Echo, usually rise 2 of those lantern guys fron ACT 4, they hit very hard.
My helmet is with Zombies + Fortify + Min. Damage + Min. speed

@Ghazzy --- With every Skill Effect Duration passive and a 20/20 Increased Duration gem, Vaal Clarity could easily be sustained throughout an entire map... Why not run Vaal Clarity and avoid using mana for skills all together?

I think Ghazzy set up the build looking at "Atziri" than common maps, as i said before i have all passive inc. duration + the gem and vaal clarity last 25 sec and recharge very, very fast i can run all the time with vaal haste, and it's amazing.
