Thank you Justin for providing accurate info on this thread as i have my hands full atm!
The direct change to the skilltree is to remove 1 of the inc duration clusters (preferably the southern one) and spend those points in to: Jewels, mana cost reduction, and / or mana/mana regen nodes. Jewel prio has also changed in to this: Minion Damage > Spell cost reduction > Cast speed And crafting your own -8 Elreon ring is highly recommended. But point being exactly what Justin mentioned; This patch is not about reaching higher DPS with this build, its to get back to where we were which is almost possible :) Our uber atziri capabilities has been dropped slightly, and now requires much heavier gear than before. However, everything below handling Uber Atziri is still perfect for this build :) Guides: https://www.poe-vault.com/guides/ghazzy-guide-hub

Why do you get skill duration in this build?
|
|
" SRS is duration based, and even though they buffed our duration on SRS we still need one wheel, bring us up to 7.25 sec duration. |
|

When it comes to SRS gem priorities, I do believe this will be the best setup atm:
SRS > Echo > Minion Damage > Melee Splash > Added Chaos > Multistrike (Change Melee Splash for Empower vs single target fights) I've asked Rinkel to test it out for us! Stay tuned! Guides: https://www.poe-vault.com/guides/ghazzy-guide-hub

" Several questions! Doesn't melee splash scale with phys? So tossing in added chaos would do nothing for the slash dmg correct? Justs add more dmg to initial target, unless I am mistaken....which is possible, still learning game mechanic's but thought for sure I heard it operates on physical scaling! And why Empower at all if we aren't phys scaling anymore? And what is PoH priority? Id rather do something like this to scale down mana cost! SRS > Minion Dmg > Empower > culling > added chaos > splash > multistrike for single target ...assuming we aren't going phys scaling at all....and assuming a PoH user.... wish someone way smarter than myself would sit down and do the math for +2 and 3 staff, and PoH users, id like to know what is best to use, and what is second best "lower mana cost" without a shadow of a doubt! lol, cause ive tried to in game test myself...can't really tell a difference without a dmg meter, which we don't have, and I don't want to be chrome and re-chrome anytime someone thinks something is better...I want to know for sure! 100% without a doudt! I am using old setup and it seams fine, but if another gem combo is better id switch...but I want to be certain the switch is warranted! So confused! lol Last edited by justinmm1988#6504 on Dec 22, 2015, 11:41:44 PM

Hello Ghazzy, I recently got into PoE and have followed this build to the core. First of all I would like to thank you for this build. Really helped me learn about PoE in general. I like how it looked so I gave it a try on my FIRST character and I love it :D
I really enjoy it, seems to be going very well. Haven't completed even normal difficulty yet, but running strong at level 40 already in the last act. I have a few questions, only two really. I just hit what seems to be a DPS wall. I am assuming this is because I need a 6L staff to do some decent DPS at this level. I have all the minion nodes for DPS as instructed by your guide, but in this last act I seem to be a liiiitle off on DPS. So my main question is, and sorry I cant ping my gearset, I am assuming at this level currently I would really need to take into consideration how my gems are linked, and a 6L staff correct? I have died ONE time my entire playthrough due to a bit of a lag spike + AoE effects :( |

" Hey! Cheers, glad you like it. The builds starts to show their true colors at lvl 55+! 5L Staff is enough for end game with these builds actually! Sorry to hear about the rip.. :/ My suggestion in this current patch is to actually use Searing Bond + Firestorm to lvl with up til lvl 55 where you purchase the Divination cards: Flora's Gift, 5 of those gives you a 5L6S staff which you can use alteration orbs on til you get +2 Fire gems then you use a Regal Orb on it and if you havnt got cast speed yet, you simply use Catarinas Benchcraft to get cast speed on the staff. This will give you a weapon ready to use for end game play unless you get a Pledge of Hands or +3 staff or a 6L! :) If you feel that changing playstyle of lvling is a bit too much troubles for the last 15 lvls before you reach the point where this build truly kicks on then I would need more information to properly help you out. Perhaps you can stop by my stream (www.twitch.tv/Ghazzy) and ask me there when I'm live? Or you could send me a PM with the questions you have and also links to your character profile so i can check how you have things set atm (keep in mind that if you do the latter, you need to make sure your profile is NOT set to private otherwise i can not see your characters!) //Ghazzy Guides: https://www.poe-vault.com/guides/ghazzy-guide-hub

Hello Ghazzy,
Loving your guides and the diversity between them! :) That diversity is however killing me atm, as I cannot decide between the SRS hybrid and 6 keystone summoner. What do you recommend, keeping end-game mapping in mind? Is the more traditional "zoomancer" type summoner still viable for mid to end-game mapping or should I just continue to play the SRS hybrid build? I haven't found a decent 5l with the right sockets yet, so I can't fully test both builds, but I would like your thoughts before I invest in either. I love the pick-up-and-play style of SRS, but I have always loved playing true zoomancers in D2 aswell (even though in PoE they require some specific setting up) |
