Thanks, you're welcome! =)

Great guide! I'm in SSF and I've been really enjoying this as my third build. I have a decent amount of the required unique gear, sans the Shavs and Eye (eye should drop sooner or later). Has anyone farmed merc harvest for offering cards? Roughly how long did it take? I have a 6L Lorica (was shooting for 5L and got lucky) so I'll be good on chaos for a while, but eventually I'll need the ES.

Also curious, why do we go down through Sentinel to get to Blood Magic rather than the far left side? It saves 7 points (10 points if you count the 3 that take the skill duration nodes). Is the evasion + Dex + skill duration nodes worth that much? We could technically get Two more additional jewel slots and some more ES nodes. Seems like it might be better route.

155 dex required for Grace, Haste and Vaal Haste so yea, dex is quite good.
Roughly 30 seconds duration for Vaal Clarity and 13 secs for Vaal Haste with the help of those duration nodes.
Loss of Sentinel ( quite handy in terms of res and eva).
Gaining 0 - 1 jewel, 8 vs current 7 strenght nodes.
Overall doesn't seem a great tradeoff.

Not playing SSF and LSC anymore anyway, but as i watched some streamers SRS in SSF (also SSF LHC), all they go CI with mana version with some mana nodes and running hatred + discipline + haste / purity of elements, and later farm double boss scriptorium for cards to go lowlife. Harvest have just way too low ratio and no exp there compared to higher tier maps. Even at double scriptorium it takes somewhere 100-200 double boss maps..

Thanks for the response, I'm at 259 dex at level 55, roughly 80 of that is in my amulet, so even if I switch to Eye I should still be good. I suppose the duration deserves more credit than I'm giving it, even making your SRS last longer definitely feels better (I just grabbed the nodes near Shaper).

How important is the EVA to this build? Technically if you go on the far left and grab Faith and Steel you get 8% all res + 15% ES. There's also 2 jewel nodes at the cost of 2 points a piece along the way. So for 20 points you get 8% all res, 15% ES, 2 jewel nodes, and the blood magic nodes. As opposed to Eva, 45% increased dur, 10% all res, dex, and blood magic nodes for 24 points. I'm torn between which is correct and given that I'm in SSF it's rather costly to test both.

Yikes, that's a lot of Maps to not only run but sustain. I suppose I'll see how far this Lorica can carry me. At worst it's my only build that can support Merc's -60 with decent MF gear, so I'll hopefully be able to grind T15s to get the gear needed to do end game with a 4th char or possibly my Pulse Inquisitor.
