[2.1 Ghazzy - Summoner Guides] Low Budget Builds

I'm back after few months, and I'm not sure that I'm doing everything good.

Why you are not using multistrike anymore?

Hey Ghazzy, great work on the guide! Can you please include a gear suggestion section? I'm currently playing the 3 Keystone SRS Summoner on Tempest and it would help a lot, thanks!

Theoretically, isn't it possible to go CI instead of hybrid?
As auras now reserve less mana, once you have around 1500 mana and lvl 4 enlighten, it should be possible to run Haste+Hatred+Clarity+Discipline on mana alone

Theoritically yes, keep in mind that I ALWAYS promote people to think outside the box and see buildguides only as guidelines and should always do a version of what ever build you enjoy most, it doesnt have to be the best or minmaxed at all areas. Its a game, make sure you enjoy playing it!

@kjksdajk:

I'll get back to you with a proper answer due to my extreme lack of time atm.
I would like to add that almost everyone is calculating Pledge to be better, myself included.

I apologize for delaying a proper answer but this is the only way i can properly answer your comments.

Hi everyone, I've seen a couple of doubts regarding the use of pledge of hands over +3 fire staff with cast speed, here i add a google sheet document where i calculated the DPS for S.R.S. at different levels but always assuming the best possible gear

6x Jewels Leadership / cast with staff or fire spells / cast speed / cast and attack speed
[the probability of one of this is 1/13476 for any given 4 affixes cobalt jewel if you wanted to know]


lvl 21 auras and support gems +20% quality
20% minion damage on both amulet and helmet

the damage was calculated for lvl 20 / 21 / 24 & 28 S.R.S.

for a character lvl 100 with 6 sockets

http://tinyurl.com/pcyubsm


final DPS is shown on cells W26 to W35

lvl 20 - 2,058,978.15 no cast speed no + fire
lvl 21 - 2,270,809.97 no cast speed no + fire
lvl 24 - 3,206,018.11 Pledge of Hands multistrike
lvl 24 - 3,901,909.95 Pledge of Hands melee damage on full life
lvl 24 - 3,093,723.73 Pledge of Hands added fire
lvl 28 - 3,678,585.56 +3 fire staff /+10%cast speed
lvl 28 - 3,838,319.80 +3 fire staff /+22%cast speed


Due to some doubts I had with culling strike, I didn't add any increased damage or attack speed to minions from it, only cast speed from quality
a level 21 would give 40% increased damage, which you can count instead of corrupted helmet and amulet.

(I also didn't add Animate Guardian Buffs, because I forgot 8D, so sue me)

In any case, while it is true that pledge of hands is less expensive and is more available, some people may feel uncomfortable depending on their minions not taking damage, for those the more common +3 fire staff / +10 cast speed may be a better option

[my personal choice would be a cheap +1/+1/+10 staff with multistrike while I get a +3/+22 staff]

for those in doubt, a secondary table should be added latter accounting for Atziri's defensive stats and elemental e1quilibrium so that we can account for the use of culling strike

Elemental equilibrium also is what accounts for the use of anger instead of wrath, but in case you're wondering the difference even with high attack speed makes anger somewhat negligible [648.DPS per individual SRS or 884.DPS with multistrike] it's damage is not useless, but shouldn't cause concern if you can't run this with Hatred

@Faustooctavo:

Thank you so much for providing proper calculations to this.
I would like to add the fact that Melee DMG on full life is removed for Melee Splash for AoEing and the fact that bosses @ Uber Atziri almost never does dmg towards the SRS before they are dead, the only fight causing a risk of this is the trio-boss.

Also, not to forget the fact that sustaining the mana cost of spamming the SRS is INSANELY hard in The Awakening which the Pledge of Hands is helping out a TON with. So not only is it the best staff it is the most comfortable one as well.

Hey,

it is not only theoretically possible to run Haste + Discipline + Hatred + Clarity Auras and CI. I'm running this setup right now. The build is slightly modified SRS Hybrid with somewhat crappy gear, which also means that I don't have Enlighten.

Concqueror'S Efficency Crimson Jewel (3% red. mana cost of skills,2% red. mana reserved and 4% increased skill effect duration) makes it possible. At the moment lvl 6 Clarity covers my manareg needs completly. Depending on your gear you might want to adjust the lvl of Clarity to cover yours. I can keep up to 29 SRS with Vaal Haste.

Other (less valid) option is to use Vaal Clarity. It's duration is slightly longer than that of Vaal Haste so you can keep spamming regardless of your manareg.

Some stats:
Current mana pool: 116/1404.
Mana reg with buffs: 111
6L: SRS, Culling, Melee Physical, Melee Splash, Echo and Minion dmg
