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

Hi, i'm currently level 38 but have some mana issues using the hatred/generosity + clarity.

I'm playing with SRS on a Tabula Rasa and it's 6 gems.

Should i stop using hatred/generosity or there's something i can do about it ?

Thanks

Hi, I'm currently level 71 and I have some difficulties even on the tier 1 maps xD. I'm not 75 in all resistance and I haven't made the uberlab either. I also feel a low cast speed in the summon of my srs. I would like advice if you have it. Thank you:)

I got the same problem. I played with "Spell echo" but my dps was too low.

Now I am playing with "Elemental damage with attacks". But the cast speed is real low, even with flesh offering.

You still need to cast a spell but at least the staff won't screw it up for you :)

Hey, thank you for your answer, but I don't understand it :D !
This staff adds lightning damage to the spells, and SRS is a spell. So when my minions hit an enemy, they are dealing fire and lightning damage, no ?

PoeWiki said about EE :

"

If you hit an enemy with two different elements at the same time it will give -50% Resistance to third element and +25% to both elements used.

In fact this is really bad for me because my minions deals at the same time fire and lightning damage, so the enemy get +25% fire and +25% lightning res ! They need an other "source" of lightning damage for applying the -50% fire res !

Or am I totally wrong ?


Best regards !


PS : How do you access uber elder and do you think this build can do it ?

Can you look at my build and see what I did wrong? I die in like 6-7 hits from the enemies.. Even If I had all my ressitances back on, they went to crap when i got the 6L Staff since the two wands had a lot of ressitances on them.

Also, how could I upgrade this in any way?

Let's get you sorted then!
Though, you must go to your account settings and make your character tab non-private as I am unable to see your characters with that link until you do!

It's because of Tabula, simply use a mana flask till you can sort it :)
Never drop Hatred, it's too good!

Hey,

Your minion speed support is a bit low lvl, obviously. Though that's not the issue. Though the EDAS support gem is rather important.

I can strongly recommend getting a shield rather than wands, preferably a melee weapon so you can use shield charge as well. As the guide describes, using Victario's Charity together withthe keystone "Necromantic Aegis" will skyrocket your clear speed till you can get that 2H mace/staff :)

Capping resistances are CRUCIAL for your survival in this game, so start there!
Keep in mind that added phys dmg/spells etc etc on your gear or tree does NOT increase the dmg done by your minions as they are minions.

Using Flesh Offering should get you enough cast speed to avoid feeling the need for a Spell Echo support gem.

It shouldn't be a problem though, getting Vics charity with NA will grant you frenzy charges making you a bit faster as well. The haste when you get a BM 2H weapon should solve all of those issues, till then as the guide describes, use Vics charity with NA.

Okay Sorry about that, try now.

Just so you know, I haven't done Merc or Eternal lab.

Thanks for your answer. Sorry my english is bad, I cannot understand your explanations in the video.
What is NA ?? (Edit : Necromantis Aegis. Found it ! :D).

Best regards !

Hi!

I want to use this SRS version for reach lvl 100 and i want to change the weapon setup, but really dont know how(i mean about configure tree or something,never played a summoner).

What do u think is the best Weapon + Shield setup? I really want to use Shield charge.

I've played a similar build the last few leagues and about to return to it as I enjoyed the play style. What do you think of mark of the red covenant?

Hey man, really nice guides! I have looked through your summoner builds but am not really sure which one to pick and thought I could ask here as SRS seems the most appealing at a first glance.

Essentially I am completely new to summoner and although I watched your video, i'm still unsure as to which build is the strongest specifically for boss killing. I have a fast mapper already, but wanted to make a summoner specifically to melt guardians/elder/shaper once I clear the map with my MF character. Any tips would be appreciated, thanks again!

Hey,

Let's start with the skill-tree:
You have 1 ES node just above the Scion starter which you should remove as you're using a 2H weapon there's no point in going NA now.
Violent Dead Jewel is rather waste, you should use either strength providing jewels or Abyssal Jewels with %min dmg when you've used a min skill recently.

Next in line, gear:
Regal your staff and if it doesn't hit cast speed, benchcraft that on it. It will make it a bit smoother.
You literally have 0 life rolls on your gear, like, literally not a single point of flat life to scale all the % life increase you get from the tree. I'm sorry to say but you need to replace ALL your rare gear pieces to get life on them whilst still making sure you cap your resistances as well as that's the most important part.

No worries bro!
I'll make sure to elaborate better and avoid abbreviations next time I explain something to avoid confusion :)

Low Budget:
Brightbeak
High Budget:
Scourge Claw

Keep in mind that you need to utilize spectres (Wicker Man or Solar Guards preferably) to help clear speed since you lose a bit of dmg. To make up for the dmg loss you can with higher budget input switch Victario's Charity for Lycosidae to make up for the dmg loss of not using a 2H weapon :)

For end-game it's garbage. For lvling I'd rather use the Baron and felt it to be lackluster.

Hey,

Well welcome in to the summoner world ;)

The easiest build to get in to with high clear speed is these in order of efficiency:
Spectres > SRS

If you don't have an issue with a bit more advanced approach then the Lich Queen is faster with the Melee Skellie approach.
The other summoner guides are still good but can't compete with those 3 in terms of clear speed.

Also to note, Lich Queen > Spectres (TV) for the sake of end-game boss kills.
