[3.6 Video Guide] Beginner's Guide SRS Baron Life [HC/SC/Atziri/Uber Izaro/Shaper Viable]

hi ghazzy thanks for another good guide, i have some questions though.

i have a 6l +2 staff, im using srs-minion speed-minion dmg-melee splash-elemental dmg with attacks and melee phys dmg supports. was thinking of swapping melee phys dmg for blood magic since the BM craft costs 2 ex and i dont have them atm.

this would allow me to run haste/hatred/clarity, im only running hatred/clarity atm.
or would the 6l be better for me instead of haste?

I've decided to move on for now and respec the character into your specter build later on in the league.

Thanks again for taking the time to respond and help. Cool stream too.

Alright, hope it suits you well!

Cheers! <3

That's the Rampage buff! It does a few different effects depending on stacks which significantly helps you increase clear speed. The one you're referring to is causing a stun & blind on enemies as well as some DMG.

First off, thank you very much for your guide, it's my very first char and it's doing great so far (hope it continues that way)

I'm lvl 26 in act 2, and I'd really appreciate some inputs/advices, especially concerning the gear

https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/wicked_potato_PoE/characters

By the way, don't mind the Void Manipulation/Contagion gems, they're just skills I used early on and I didn't bother unsocketing the gems

Cheers bro, thank you!
You have a +1 lvl of fire gems wand, make sure you recolor it to 2B1R so you can use SRS - Minion DMG - Melee Splash in there. It should carry you a long way till you can get a 4L item with BBRR colors to simply add Melee Physical in the mix. Or hell, even be able to afford a Baron helmet at that point depending on your luck.

It's really hard to guide you gear wise at that low lvl as it's pretty much all about equipping what ever gives you resistances & life and that works for your gem links.

Hey,

My pleasure bro, thank you!

Change minion speed for BM instead imo.
The build runs smoother with BM even if it means dropping a link, though if you don't feel it to be too annoying to run a 6L without BM on high lvl clarity (without haste) then that's absolutely better but will also require mana flask to be kept up.

Ultimately it's gonna end up in you deciding between smoother but less dps gameplay vs slightly annoying mana handling but higher DPS output.

Do i skill slot clarity 1? or just have it in link? and linked to what if so.

Not sure what aura's i need to be running throughout. what needs to be loaded in skill bar.

Once you've activated the aura it no longer needs to be on your action bar.

Before BM wep:
High lvl Clarity with Generosity linked to Hatred.

After BM wep:
Lvl 1 Clarity (for CoD stacks), Haste, Hatred linked with Generosity.

Thank much, hopefully no more questions.

That was a kind of stupid question on my part haha, the BM mod is only 2 divines, not 2 exalts, so I went ahead and crafted it. Im using a 6l with BM craft now, build feels a lot better running Haste now!

Does Spirit Eater ascendancy skill affect minions too? "40% increased damage if you have consumed a corpse recently" and "2% increased attack speed and cast speed for each corpse consumed recently". Does SRS benefit from it?

Thanks!!

Haha, there are no stupid questions where I reside, only stupid answers. Any questions are more than welcome.

If the damage stated does not specifically state that it affects minions, then it doesn't.
The cast speed allows you to smoother summon them obviously but outside of that, nothing else scales them.

My pleasure bro!

just for understanding immortal call is linked with cast when damage taken, so it doesn't need a skill slot is that correct?

Thanks again and again, Love the build.

Has anyone got their character profile of this build they could share?

I'm new to this and am not convinced I've fully understood the gearing and linking properly!

Thanks

Correct, it is automatically being triggered so it doesn't have to be on your skillbar.

Gearing stats depends on every piece what the priority should be on the next, which makes it very confusing.

The stats you want to go for if I should try to elaborate it in short:

* 75% all elemental resistances (or 109% if you wish to be elemental weakness map mod rolled immune, which means you still have 75% all elemental resistances when you are cursed by elemental weakness in the higher end-game tier maps)
* As much Life & Strength as possible (strength also provides life) you can easily search for "life" in poe.trade and click the "total life: ##" grayed out text to list items from top to bottom with the highest life providing item in the top

Basically once you got all your uniques the rare items are there to balance your resistance needs & life gain. So if you for example have a ton of fire resistance on several pieces, then obviously Fire Resistance drops in terms of priority for the rest of your pieces as you have a set ammount of resistance you're aiming for which increases the priority of Life & the other elements.

My suggestion when gearing is to get all the unique pieces first then get all the big rare items no matter what build it is in this order:
Chest > Amulet >Boots > Helmet > Gloves > Shield > Rings > Belt

Reason for this is that Belt can roll an absurd ammount of life as well as an absurd ammount of resistance and still remain itself very cheap. So if you get most of your stuff sorted with the other pieces then finding a Belt to balance the remaining points out should be very easy & fairly cheap to do :)


I hope my answer is sufficient!
