[3.1] SRS LL Auramancer in-depth guide

Haha, thanks for that. I hadn't even looked at it. I've been using those gloves for so long now...

Edit: Oh, and the left ring was the one that I'm looking to replace with shav's revelation. For the helmet, I have a hubris circlet that I'm farming the right enchant on. the 150% enchant is expensive right now.

Hi All,

This is my current gear, still waiting to upgrade a few items but i am all resist capped and currently around 8200es.

1 Question i got to ask i am running stone golem with 7 auras.
How am i suppose to get my 8th?

I cant see a possible way

Get the 5% reduced mana mod on your helmet. If you have all of the necessary passives, you'll be fine to get 8 auras. The 1% doesn't seem like much, but it's the rounding that gets people.


By the way, your gear looks great. I'm normally the one to pick apart gear, but you've got your stuff squared away well. My only suggestion is to get rid of all of the max life master crafts. I assume those are in place to avoid the stone golem enchant on your helmet. It might be worth crafting yourself a helm to allow for better master crafts -- just a thought...

Pop a new 5% reduced helmet on, which shouldn't be a chore because you're already res capped without any res on the helmet, and you'll be flying.

Thanks i am working on the 5% spend many ex trying but still no luck,

Can i ask though i don't know exactly what i am doing wrong but when i try t16 bosses like Hydra i am dying almost instantly? my minions are dying within seconds to and doing no damage?

Currently running this build with UiD and a 500 es shield. I just got a lv 4 empower would it be worth switching to a +3 gems bow or does United still win out?

Hey Tahreyn what do you do for the big solo fights like shaper? We don't exactly need melee splash damage for them. I was wondering if dropping for an added fire damage or another red gem would generate a lot more damage instead for those style fights. I don't mind lugging 1 extra gem around for certain situations.

Hello. For shaper Melee Splash actually made it easier for me. In the beginning I tried to run him with an extra damage gem but I had a lot of problems in the adds phase. After a few runs I started to run with Melee Splash instead and things got a lot easier.

At Über Atziri I would consider swapping the Melee Splash for Added Fire / Empower / Multistrike. Same goes for the Hydra guardian if you feel that you need more dmg. The other guardians I think that running Melee Splash is better, or you might get overrun with adds.

Hello,

I wanted to thank you for this guide. I'm about 1/2 way on gear now and still loving it. This is the second SRS setup that I've ran, but it has been so much smoother! Here is what I have so far:

My flasks and jewels are lacking, but at 79 this feels pretty strong. Half way to buying a united in dream, but not sure if I should do that or worry about upgrading the rares first.

If anyone has any suggestions on my skill tree or next upgrades, please feel free to share. I hope to keep pushing on this character.

Edit: Character is KTLowLife

You're welcome, I'm glad to see that you like it. Ryansider helped you with the gear part so I took a look at your gems and skill tree.

First of all, buy a 20/20 SRS gem. They are only a few chaos :) I see that you've Lightning Warp as a movement skill. While it is good because you can travel over objectives, I really recommend trying out shield charge instead. It should make it faster to clear a map and maybe most importantly, it'll give you a reliable way to move quickly and avoid a lot of damage.

Occultist's Dominion. You shouldn't need that point atm. It's a 1 pointer that I can use at 90+ if I have nothing better to allocate. If you don't need all the resistances from around the jewel socket below the Scion start, then I'd remove those 4 points, pick a 1-point jewel socket and use the points to move to Influence followed by Essence Surge.

I hope this helps.

The 5% Reduced mana helmet is only required if you are not running Conqueror's Efficiency jewel, which is my standing recommendation to start with. The jewel gives you 2% reduced mana, and thus you only need another 3% from the helmet.

The Hydra may be the hardest guardian for this build, at least for the UiD setup. Minions dying quickly is to be expected as there is so much aoe going on there, but as long as you are dodging his fork arrow and barrage it should only be a matter about time to kill him.

I love the ability to move around so quickly with UiD, so I'd probably stick with it. Especially since this will be the last league that minion dmg will double dip with the poison form UiD. What you can do is to use your lvl 4 empower instead of Culling Strike and you should get some extra damage, and your minion will not die as quickly from aoe attacks.

finally got the 150% stone golem enchant (cost 3.5 ex jesus), and man its totally worth it. should have gotten it way sooner

Thx for this wonderfull build and awesome guide!

One small question: i can not drop purity until i fix my res, should i use envy and drop wrath or anger?

Envy have the smallest dmg boost from auras, so you should just turn off it and use purity of elements. Side note: your wrath should be linke with generosity (in boots), and Flesh offering anywhere (also in armour in your case)

Thanks for the advice. I will look into swapping out the resists around scion and I've dropped Occultist's Dominion for now. I've swapped my gear for magic find since my friend is lagging behind (just hit 70) and I'm helping through his maps, so now my cold res is below elemental weakness cap. I haven't checked yet but swapping the purity may fix that without the resistance nodes.

On the 20/20 SRS, do you mean get a corrupted one and keep leveling the 20/19 to try for level 21? Sorry for the odd questions, this is my first time pushing this high on a spell caster or trying for over leveled gems.

One question on magic find. I have 278 rarity on SRS (still running culling) and 0 quantity due to poorly rolled ventor's:


But I have a Parandus Blazon with 7% quantity. Do you think that the 7% would make a noticable difference? I lose 500ES and the %50 reduced recharge time of bated breath so I didn't know if it would be worth it.

@ryansider:

Thanks so much for the help on gear. I'm still working on the enchant, but have a helmet that's a bit better and I've changed my gloves. They may change again once I stop magic finding but I needed the dexterity.

I would get corrupted 20/20. Should cost like 2-4c, almost nothing.. And in your 2nd weapon slot (where you leveling gems, level normal ones to corrupt them yourself after you reach 20/20)

Spoiler

I run and ryansider as i know MF setup too, but a bit expensive with IIQ gem (legacy one). Without that still runnable. At your place i would look for ventor with 7-8 IIQ / 20+ rarity with less resistances. Shouldn't be expensive. Also you replace 7% IIQ you get from Blazon on ring, which means you can drop belt and get the resists there you would lose from ventor (sine ventor's with good resists cost a lot too..). You would also gain from belt some es (50+ on rare chain belt), or (110+ on rare crystal belt with resists, but this one expensive.). Not sure if bated breath is really required, as it provides just nice recharge & some es, but no resists.

Alternative you can use legacy (or simple one)

It gives more fire resist & IIQ, but you will lose Wondertrap for that.

Envy should actually be one of the stronger auras due to the added chaos damage scaling with poison, and also because mobs generally have less chaos resistance compared to elemental resistance. So I'd probably drop either wrath or anger in favour of Envy.

P.s. I think you missed to close a quote Matematikas ;)
