Hey Ghazzy!

Thanks for all the hard work you put in on the threads, for a person like me (and you) who loves summoners they are awesome.

I'm just coming back to PoE after a long break and have been fiddling around with summoner builds. I was looking at your SRS build here and I feel like a dummy asking this but it seems like the build uses a ton of abilities - more than can be supported by the hotkeys provided by the game.

For example, for the SRS summoner I noted the following skills:

1. SRS
2. Raise Zombie
3. Summon Chaos Golem
4. Haste
5. Clarity
6. Hatred+Generosity
7. Discipline+Blood Magic
8. Raise Spectre
9. Desecrate/Flesh Offering/Vaal Haste/etc
10. Oh yeah, you mention a spell totem + skellies/arc (though it's not in the gem list for some odd reason)

Granted I probably won't make it long enough (in hardcore!) to need all this, but I'm trying to figure out how you support all this. At first I was thinking you could maybe have a second weapon set and swap sets to cast stuff (will that work?). However, as I write this I realize maybe it's possible to manually switch one skill between all the auras as you cast them (I assume they would stay on after you do this), leading to the following slots needed for active skills:

1. SRS
2. Raise Zombie
3. Raise Spectre
4. Desecrate
5. Spell Totem
6. Chaos Golem
7. Vaal Haste/Whatever you need

Is that how you use all these skills?

Thanks!

hi guys
i have a question of quality priority for gems
can you add or answer me
which gems have we to quality 20

ty for all

SRS > All
Then you should quality all gems imo, unless you have any specific plans you can actually flip all gems when they hit lvl 20. I'd recommend manually placing 20 GCPs on the SRS gem.

Yop Ghazzy,

Sorry to bother you again but I got some more questions about gearing and stuff:

1) If i don't have a lvl4 Empower to link to SRS, what would be the best setup without empower on a 6L PoH? And is Multistike no longer good for SRS links? What about Added fire damage?

2) Right now I'm using a non linked rare chest with 760 ES and I reached 6.5K total ES with that, but I'm thinking about switching it with a non linked shav when I can afford it. I evaluated my ES loss at around 1K. Do you think the shav still worths it with the 1k ES drop? If it is, what are the changes i have to plan so i can make full use of the shav with this build?(not rich enough to go for the super expensive low life build yet lol).

Thanks.

Firstly:
Do not ever apologize for bothering me with questions. It is one of the biggest reasons i started streaming PoE and started writing these guides. So please, fire away at all times. I do however prefer to be able to answer verbally so pop in to my stream for live assistance if you have the possibility!

1) Empower lvl 4 is ~40% more dmg, lvl 3 is ~30% more dmg. So it is better at lvl 3 than Added Fire, however Multistrike might run ahead at this point. I think I'd stick with Empower even at lvl 3 due to the fact that GGG refuses to give me any spreadsheet over their actual accuracy ratings. Basically, the higher lvl of the minion the higher the accuracy so to remove unknown numbers in terms of miss chances id say empower is still the most preferable gem.

2) You dont need the shavs to be 6L in the high budget build. I personally strongly would advice not to go low life high budget build if you do not have the budget required to handle the transition. But then again, its a matter of taste, if you want to go do the high budget one, you should. And then build up currency/gear to make it more and more viable :)
Afterall, it is a glasscannon with among the highest if not the highest DPS in the game.

A question about specters: which one of them will be able to function best under thoose conditions(IF any):
1)This Tree(TL;DR : modified pure srs, 37% minion +life from tree, CI with later switch to LL,34% reservation reduction.ZO part is experimental and i will regret those 6 nodes if they prove useless
http://tinyurl.com/p3mmbkq
2)3 or 4 link(sharing chestpiece with totem skeletons<->arc depending on whats needed)
3)Hatred,Haste,Discipline,Vitality auras,vitality gets switched to AA or something is ZO fails
4)Target audience(warbands): Maps and very occasional normal Atziri.

1) In pure SRS I'd still say the Defilers works best as they provide you with cursing the enemies with Elemental Weakness increasing your DPS significantly.

2) Again, Defilers.

3) Defilers.

4) Defilers again.


The thing with pure SRS is that we don't need spectres, we are only using them for either a defensive purpose (Undying Evangelist) just that those defensive spectres dies way to easily when their shield drops. So we take a spectre who keeps a further distance that increases our clear speed which are the Defilers.
Also do not forget that in Atziri map your spectres WILL die, there is no way in hell they'll survive the entire map through... :P

I am trying to set up a pure mf build using dual Andvarius rings would any of these builds be viable for that . or would it be a waste of time since I will not be res caped. thanks for your time

I believe the classic summoner would be best for that so you can cull using: Flame Totem + Culling + IIQ + IIR. Or if in temp leagues remove IIQ and go for something like Spell Totem + Arc for further chain hits and easier targeting.
The only problem would be limitation in the lvls of your green gems: Haste, Vaal Haste which is ok seeing as you are not gonna run atziri with the build.
You can also remove Arctic Armour and implement Purity of Elements to help resistances, if you do this as a scion you can also spec the extra 18% extra resistance nodes as well as the +10% all resistance directly south from the scion starting tree.

So no it is not a wasted time, just required minor modifications!

If you decide to do this, I would apprecaite if you could post your progress here in this thread! :)
