Excellent build. I just returned after a long break and this is extremely helpful.

After looking at your tree a bit I think there is a small min-max improvement that can be made to your tree. You grab the socket next to Scion that has the +% spell damage, which is of no use to you. Instead of grabbing that socket (which takes 3 passive points), you can grab the socket to the left of the scion health wheel. This will net you +20 strength (10 max life), which has a benefit to you... although very minor. It's not a huge improvement, but you might as well grab something that helps you if you can.

Also, why do you not recommend grabbing the 5% cast speed bandit reward? Once the easy passives get used up around mid level 80, it looks like you run out of good passive options making the cast speed a little more beneficial. Maybe I'm missing something because you said don't get baited... :)

Would going into the Shadow HP/casting area be better than filling out the scion life wheel? You can always fill it out as you near 100. For example

for 6 passives, you get 24% hp, which is only 6% less than spending 6 on 5% ones, and that's not counting the 30 Str/Dex you get, as well as casting speed. Then you can also get shadow cast speed as you get closer to max lvl. It would be a nice damage boost and would help get your stats up to run gems.
A full build would look something like

Hello, new to SRS and got a few questions.

how can you use so many auras? im following your passive tree, using alpha myself, but when i activate everything, i got 9 mana left :X which isnt enough for anything..

how is this build considered in mapping? good/bad fast/slow?

thanks for the guide and help!

Hi, great build, I'm trying it (currently lvl 68) so still far from OP. Just a couple of points.

First I understand the use of elemental equilibrium but I can't say that I like it. It means that you have to cast the totem and wait for it to hit every mob. If it doesn't and your SRS hit it first then the mob gains resistance to fire. Not a good way to speed up clearing. I don't like casting a totem and waiting so I removed the EE and instead use a decoy totem to distract them while I cast my SRS. After I have a few in the air I can start following them to other enemies without caring about casting totems. EE would be a hindrance in this situation.

I also use a chaos golem. A nice distraction and shield since this build doesn't use zombies. Maybe it won't be necessary at higher levels but for now it helps.

Also I agree with catharsis' question. Why don't you pick death attunement ? 8% is half a gem.
