Well, two tiered answer:

1) This build will always have issues with long boss fights. Running the Shav's ring is certainly an option to help with this. It's important to recognize the limitations of this build (or any build..)

2) As for everyday stuff like mapping -- it seems like you're suffering from more than just vaal clarity issues. Base duration is 10 seconds, not counting all of the passives this build is spec'd into and the increased duration gem. If you can't recharge it within that time frame, you should look into this jewel: http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Sacrificial_Harvest. Outside of boss fights, this build shouldn't ever have an issue getting charges for vaal clarity.

Looking at your character, you have some simple upgrades to help out. I see multiple jewel slots that aren't being used. You should look into getting some 16% minion damage jewels - this will help with clear speed and help recharge vaal clarity faster. They only run 1-2 chaos on breach. You can add on attributes, %ES, etc. to the jewels to help out even more.

Lastly, many of your gems aren't level 20 yet. You're clearly still in the infancy stages of the build. I think you'll notice notable changes as you continue upgrading your character - gem levels, 6L armor and eventually Shavs, your 7th and 8th auras (purity of elements will allow you to swap out some resists on your gear to prioritize ES or other QoL stats), optimized jewels, etc. You've also got some fairly cheap upgrades to your ES pool - for example 200 ES gloves are ~20c - that would be about 100% increase over what you have now. Keep playing and upgrading - you'll figure out the build more and I think you'll grow to like it.

Right, I know there are tons and tons of upgrades to be done. My only real issues are with the style of play and whether I want to put the time into making this build at the start of a new league - when those simple upgrades/quality of life things just aren't an option.

If I'm going to be running this build with gear similar to what I have on my current character at about a similar level, then I'd rather start the league with another build from what I have experienced so far.

Originally I was just curious why something (shav's revelation) that would, for me at least, improve the playstyle of the build so dramatically was so low on the list of item upgrades.

True, running beacon of corruption with that that would hinder it more than making it useful I guess. Have you tried running Minion Instability for added damage on bosses etc? Or is the life on the spirits very low (haven´t noticed much since I summon new onces instantly if they are killed)?

Seems like a lot of suggestions but I'd like to add that this is one of the best guides I've read and I've read quite a few =).

Hey Tahreyn,

Thank you so much for making this guide. As a brand new player to PoE, this guide was immensely helpful not to mention well organized and easy to follow. Almost every question I had was addressed in some fashion or another. In Breach league, I had a blast playing SRS especially in groups as the dedicated Necrobot.

With Breach coming to an end, could you look at my character DVRK_GREED and suggest gear upgrades to aim for in Standard? Constant improvement is the name of the game.

Anyways, thanks again for this awesome guide! I would recommend this versatile build for anyone looking for amazing clear speed that can solo all game content while also providing great support to parties. The only caveat being the ridiculous prices of the some of the end game gear.

do you think the aoe nerf will be a nerf to this build since sometimes the srs will run outside the aura radius therefore losing dmg?

hi,im enjoying this build and making much currency by mapping.
i just entered chayula domain and burned 5 portals to chayula lord.
how i felt was that stone golem dies in 1sec after joining chayula lord area.
their spear/cyclone kills my srs/golem too fast and i supporsed to recast or back to home recharging life/flasks.
ive watched your chayula run video and you clear chayula lord in 10sec with swapping culling strike for empower.
currently im running culling strike instead empower, and feels not enough dps for killing chayula or guardians in 10sec.
my es is at 110k with full gear and most auras are 20 or 21,and wearing shav ring.
i feel defense this build offers is good,but does it make dps boost swapping my culling strike for empower4 or simply swapping melee splash?(at this chayula fiht,i swapped melee splash for melee damage on full life.because i expected short fight by massive single target damage.)
tldr:im having issue deal with chayula lord/some guardians because stone golem dies/not enough single target dps killing them.

ty for your time :^)

Hello. Your character tab is set to private, so I currently can't take a look on your character.

The Chayula fight can be pretty hard. I recorded my first time with it early on in the league when I didn't have all the items that I have now: https://youtu.be/nHD-dW3Eob4 and as you can see it didn't go as smoothly. I did use melee splash and culling strike at that time too, but I don't blame CS for it not going as smoothly as the later video.

but from what you write it sounds like you should have all the gear and gems to kill it without too much hassle. One thing that you can try is to run in a circle around the edges of the room and cast a few SRS after each shield charge. You should also try to recast the stone golem as soon as you notice that it takes damage, as long as it isn't on CD.

I hope this is of some help for you.
