[2.1 Ghazzy - Summoner Guides] Low Budget Builds

They hit us hard! So hard! lol

Be patient guys, Ghazy isn't even playing summoner as first char in Talisman so you can hardly expect him to update this build after a weekend.

Hey guys, as many of you know i'm not YET a fulltime streamer which causes me to be limited in my schedule to do things.

I am currently running the most overpowered hilariously stupid Essence Drain / Contagion build on stream.



However, a few words about SRS:
THe gem setup seems to be the same minmaxed as displayed in my guides, the 2 changes you should be making are these:

1) Remove 1 inc duration cluster (I'd recommend spending these extra points towards jewels and/or mana cost reductions/mana/mana regen to sustain the cast.
2) Prio of jewels are now: Minion Damage > Spell Cost Reductions > Cast Speed



Keep in mind, if you are hitting 50 spirits without vaal haste you have probably both inc duration clusters and/or cast speed on the tree as well. DON'T!
If you hit 50 with vaal haste running its "okeyish" but from the looks of it running around 45-48 spirits during vaal haste seems optimal.

Also; If you are able to grab ELREON rings for reduced cost it will be extremely helpful for the builds optimization.


Further notes: High Budget Build is still Uber Viable. Thank you Rinkel for extensive testing and minmaxing in my abscense.

How am I supposed to run Hatred, Discipline and haste at the same time?

I'm having really hard time slotting gems for this build in a proper manner, any chance you could provide a link to your character or something?

Do you have all aura reservation nodes as displayed in the buildguide?
There shouldn't be any problems if you do :)

How are spectres now with controlled destruction? I don't assume minions crit much already, and that's a huge amount of more spell damage. Useful for 6L spectres?

The Controlled Destruction for spectres is easily the best 5th link indeed. It is valued over the penetration gem which is now moved down to the 6th slot!

1) You're gems aren't 20 yet, some dont have quality

2) Gem setup, what I use SRS > Minion dmg, Inc Melee Phys > Empower 3+ > Culling > Melee Splash ( I prefer not to us multi-strike cause of the dmg penalty and coupled with splash sky rockets mana cost. And melee phys on full life should not be a permanent link.

3) This patch is not about getting more dmg than we had, but to get back to where we was, or as close as we possibly can get to it...this is done mostly with jewels, shoot for 200% + minion dmg mod on srs, I am at 251% with 9 jewels and I do some serious dps.

4) If you can get you're hands on a 21 srs gem and lvl4 empower it will help as well, I am trying to do mine on my own, can't afford to buy them...no luck yet! lol


I run a life version myself with 5k life, with belly of the beast and alphas howl which allows me to run hatred, haste, anger, and clarity all on my mana with plenty left over. I don't use wrath because I use EE.
