[2.0] SRS | {UBER DOWN} | MF OK! | SelfFound | CHEAP & Beginner Friendly | twitch.tv/Dygnity

You're not missing anything. That's about the right amount of health. You just need to get used to the playstyle.
Use your SRS for tanking. They work very well for some enemies (melee), not so well for others(ranged, goatmen etc). Your basic defense besides that is range and movement.
I also use a chaos golem. Good for tanking and distracting enemies and doesn't even need support gems (although I use culling). The totem also helps.
Just don't let stuff get near you.

be considered a great unique for this build? The minion move speed and damage make it better than any jewel, and it also gets mana regen.

Rare amu its bether since you get 13 % cast speed life res mana reg you have many good option in rare amu

My life is almost to 4k eHP, my res is overcapped, I can get 25 SRS out at once, and my mana regen is fine. I suppose when I get a 6L or Alpha's and have the extra aura I'll need more hp and mana/mana regen, but for now I'm mainly doing mf. So I could switch it out for a mf amulet but the ms and dmg seems to help. If I got really lucky and vaal'd a minion dmg on it that'd be crazy, but I'm not gonna chance it until I find more

And is 13% cast speed really more dps? For this build it's generally instakill everything for tankiness. For jewels we focus minion dmg, which for cast speed, jewels get like 2-4%, so basically nothing. But is getting my SRS to 26-27 at a time really a bigger dps boost than the minion dmg and speed? speed helps a ton for dps, not really easy to put a number to, and minion dmg affects all 25 SRS, so overall, I think it'd be a bigger dps boost, not that I really know how to calculate it out or anything.

a bit squishy using this build

isnt Pledge of hands > +2/3 level gems?

The OP answered that on the third page.

Another thing to take into account is a +3 gives the spirits a lot more life, which can be quite useful against high damage AoE mobs like beyond bosses, Avatar and even Atziri.

Don't know much about the game, but this looks great for someone just starting out. Thanks OP!

don't know if it was said already, but if you use anger you can't use EE cause your totem will deal a part fire dmg

I thought this too, but its been said, and on the wiki, that totems only get the affects of defensive auras, offensive ones don't work on them if they aren't on you. So when you use generosity, it negates the totems causing fire dmg for EE.

If you want to test it, just use generosity with anger and when EE procs, you can check what they're resistant/vulnerable to with your mouse.

ill give this a shot in the 1 month

Im either playing this or PA for the 1 month. Because I played this in WB, I might give PA a try and make a PA build guide in the same fashion as this one!

This is not true at all. Try it with generosity, the vulnerabilities will be correct.
