[3.1] SRS LL Auramancer in-depth guide

Hey there,

First of all, thanks for the guide! I'll be starting this build soon!

I have a question regarding gem setup: I've been away from the game for a while but I remember when I played SRS before one of the gems was always Multistrike. Now all the SRS builds don't list this gem anymore. What has changed?

What green gem shoud i use? Additional accuracy, culling strike or poison?
Additional accuracy looks good in calc, but does it work in reality?
I am playing ssf, so +3 rrrgbb bow is the most reasonable thing that i can get.

Actually i got the bow, will make it +3 soon. Empower will also become lvl3 soon.

Anyone else having the problem of golem dying over and over again on T15-T16/Shaper fights?

It is more or less unavoidable that the golem doesn't die during t16 fights. The two things you have to work with is positioning, trying to have the golem move with you a bit, and recasting the golem at a safer location when you notice that it is taking damage.

Really enjoy this build and I will continue using this build for 3.0. Made it to level 94 so far and it's the highest level I achieved. Nice job to the creator.

Here's my current gear if anyone interested:

Thank you and congrats to your highest level so far. I'm glad that you've enjoyed the build =)

Multistrike is still a valid option for SRS, but other gems are generally better for clearing purposes. The main issue with Multistrike is that if the target moves or dies after the first hit, the minion will be stuck in animation for up to 2 more hits even if there's nothing there.

I think that I would've used the culling strike for the green slot, but now when you've the 3r3b you're good to go with empower =) Good luck with getting it to level 4.

Thanks for the reply!

Also I noticed you run Clarity on a BM build. What am I missing? :D
Vaal Clarity I get, as it bypasses the life cost? Is vaal Clarity necessary for the build? bossfights?

A level 1 Clarity is used because of the bonuses from Commander of Darkness (10% increased damage and 5% increased attack/cast speed per aura), and those bonuses scales with Aura Effectiveness as well.

Vaal Clarity is the most important vaal skill for the build. 30s uptime where casting won't interrupt the ES recharge is really important for our survivability and damage, as you don't need to wait for the ES to be recharged before you start to summon spirits again.

Could you help me to remake my aruamancer spectre build to srs ? :D I have around 500 C to use. Im not sure what to buy first. I was playing CI so do you advice to respec ?

You should get a 20/20 SRS gem, a 5l shavronne's vestment, and Eye of chayula to begin with, then get as much ES and resists as you can on the shield, gloves, and belt.

Get 4 more levels then remove all the points that I don't use in my level 90 tree. Spend those points to pick up Blood Magic and Mortal Conviction.

From there on you just continue to follow the skill tree and save up for United in Dream + Presence of Chayula, stone golem effectiveness hubris enchant, and other good rares followed by a 6l shavronnes.

Any thoughts on using this to start 3.0?

I got another question. Does empower work for low level maps? Or i should switch it to something else if i run maps below 82?

I've used this build as a league starter for the past 3 leagues and it should be good to go for 3.0. as well.

It works just as well with lower level maps, but until you have a +3 bow and at least a lvl 3 empower other supports would probably serve you better. Check 4.8.1. for ideas for what to use instead.
