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

I have been wanting to make a SRS witch for very long, I am surely going to try this out. Thanks for sharing your build Dyg bro and keep up the good work!

Ty for a nice build. Just one question. Can you make passive tree which will be more or less suitable for Hardcore? I'm playing on tempest now. And can't figure out where it's best to put passives to gain more hp/ES. What should i sacrifice and what no

The links are a bit different for pledge v. +3.

In summary, in a min-maxed scenario, the max output of pledge is 4.1 million dps and the maximum output of +3 is 3.8 million dps. Again, purely min-maxed optimal settings the dps difference is 8%-ish. However, culling might improve your quality of life :)

On a 6L +2 staff what are the links for best?

Right now I am using SRS>Miniondmg>Melee phys> spell echo>culling strike>melee splash.

Should I try SRS>MinionDmg>MeleePhys>SpellEcho>Multistrike>Cullingstrike? I have no empower level 2 or 3 at the moment.

You should replace culling strike for multistrike a lot better for me, culling worth with MF party.

To be honest your play style and scenarios will determine what links you want to run with. Mapping you might prefer splash over multistrike, or you might like to keep the high single target dps. Doing MF boss runs or running with a party you might prefer to drop multi or splash for culling, and maybe minion damage for rarity. Ultimately the choices are yours and situation dependent- staffs are easy to color on the fly to suit your needs.

Dont be afraid to try different support setups out and see what works best for you- I highly encourage that. I list the gems around my preference, but its not set in stone and not always ideal for every situation!

Hi!
First of all thanks for the guide, it's very fun and effective!
Before I start I'm level 66 now and this is my gear so far:

I'm pretty fond of the staff with +1 to all and the +2 for melee doesn't hurt either for the multistrike and melee dmg gems. Res are almost capped, 75/71/66, but I don't get hit that much. I threw in a zombie gem for an additional meat shield, with 5 of them they make a very nice distraction for all those flying projectiles.
But now I'm kinda slumped with what should I improve first, gearwise.
Could you give me some pointers in what should be my priority to change/aquire?
Would be very greatful.
Again thanks for the build!

Cain

The +3 melee gems isnt a total waste by any stretch, just not "ideal" however some of your supports will definitely benefit and SRS gets +1 atleast.

If you want more meat, I would suggest a chaos golem on cast when damage taken for yet another distraction tool.

Belly of the beast or a nice rare chest with res and HP would be better than Anbu's.

The helmet is probably one of your better slots atm, upgrade that into an Alphas later.

Your gloves and boots could use an upgrade. Aim for more life and some res on gloves, with an open prefix to master minion damage. Aim for high life max move speed on boots, with possibly a dexterity roll.

Perandus is not a bad choice, but a rare belt might be better survivability if you need it- stick with the free quantity and stats from perandus if not.

Your jewelry could be better, rarity cast speed HP if you are MF'ing, cast speed Hp resist if not. Rarity cast speed HP resists is the dream :)

Id also suggest getting ahold of a while 5L staff (the new div cards from tropical island map make it really easy) and alt-aug'ing until +2 Fire, then regal'ing and adding cast speed from catarina. Youll really notice a difference.

Hope that helps man! Glad to see you are on your way and enjoying the ride!

Hi dyg,

I followed your path which i mentioned to you before, so far it went great and i want to thank you for your all help and guide. Here we comes to try Uber, can you check my gear and tree for being uber ready or not?

gear

tree

https://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAwMAA-4EBwj0Fm8XLxg8GFYZihqPHNwdFB2qHb4i9CTYKPoqUyycLagvnTOHNZI6WDwtPydBh0WdRnFKyEyzTblTUlXGVdZXK1ltWpFewF8qX5hfsGTnakNqrGvbbAttGW6qbztvnngNe8N9GICkgseDCYNfg8yD24TFhWCFbYhaiq-PGo9GkBGTJ5itmuCboZu1oEKhL6cIqH2qxKyYsZCycLQMtfK3PriTvSe9gr6AvorAGsBUwzrKSsrTzLzPMtAf0_vVgdgk2L3fiuGI42rpAuvk6-7siu_r9tr31_no-tL7Cf4K_kn-sw==

Gear looks ok and so does your tree. No real problems I could spot. Trio is tricky sometimes- be warned! With proper execution however, you should do just fine. Remember to keep moving and keep granite up as much as you can during split and main phases because deaths come from nasty spears.

GL man let us know how it goes!

You suggest to use item rarity and other rarity items but you do not seem to indicate what to replace for item rarity?

Can you advise?

thanks,

Anyone can answer this?

When I 6L with rarity I use SRS > Echo > Melee Phys > Empower3 > Multistrike > IIR, which drops minion damage. My dps is so high, you really dont notice it in maps or atziri. Also just makes it really easy to swap without recoloring.

You could drop Empower3 if you want to recolor, or Multistrike/Melee splash depending on what youre using. If I was on 5L +2 or +3, id drop empower3 most likely.

2. When vaal hasted you may run dry. You can run a mana flask for this, theres really no way around it and its normal. The amount of mana regen investment you would need to cast vaal hasted without a mana pot would be gnarly. However, if you are not able to cast infinitely without vaal haste, you need to make some adjustments- most likely add %reduced mana cost of skills to your jewels in addition to the minion damage. Put this on as many jewels as you need in order to cast without running dry.

I am able to sustain vaal haste with a 6L SRS by using culling strike instead of empower. Check out my build in Scion section (link in signature).

In theory it's supposed to be the same DPS, but significantly lower mana cost.

BTW I'm the creator of the DPS spreadsheets that you were referring me to. ^^

The dps scaling out of 90% should account for the lower damage dealt per spirit.

My only point of contention with this is that when you cannot get out max spirits, my personal preference is harder hitting lesser amount of spirits. Kiting trio, the limited time between split phases, etc.

Being honest though, I have not played around with culling or pledge enough since I achieved this gear level to really have a good frame of reference for the comparison, so definitely take my perspective with that in mind.

<3 ur sheets bro!

had forgot about that node

got it now
I now have 82 mana left but skill cost 50ish and i run out of mana so i cant sustain it

The Dynamo cluster for %reduced mana cost of skills works wonders. I also have a couple jewels to help reduce my mana cost a bit further. Mana regen on amulet/rings really helps, but the %reduced mana cost on the jewels really helped alleviate this problem for me.

Heya, the 45 points and 62 points leveling skill trees have the same link.

EDIT: Oh and how do you get the required str/dex for all the gems?

Fixed. Too many shortlinks, not enough sleep :)

I stop at level 18 pure dex gems currently. If i wasnt lazy and got boots with dex roll or dex mastered on, Id be able to run lvl 20s!

Wait that doesnt make sense. Based on your guide empower is only for 6L ?
Im 5L with Echo, Multi, Phys damage, Minion Damage, SRS
So I guess i could try dropping minion damage and see if it hurts too much?
