About the build: Melee SRS Necromancer

ABOUT

This build is a direct upgrade from my league starter, where you say goodbye to the minion army and focus on scaling the raging spirits for fast map clearing as well as boss killing power.

The build is easy to play with good survivability and a medium overall cost, depending on the market.


SRS

The Summoned Raging Spirits are aggressive flying minions that attack any nearby enemies and will naturally spread out and hunt for enemies until their duration runs out.

They are also good for bossing, as they do not body block each other like other melee minions, and will completely surround any boss.

To improve quality of life, unleash is used to summon multiple raging spirits in a single cast, and Replica Bones of Ullr lets them refresh their duration when they hit a boss.


SUPPORT MINIONS

The build also uses the following support minions:
• 1 carnage chieftain spectres for frenzy changes,
• 1 host chieftain spectres for power charges,
• 1 tukohama's vanguard to reduce enemies' fire res,
• 1 xoph's favoured to gain additional fire damage,
• 1 animate guardian with Kingmaker.


SURVIVABILITY

For survivability, the build stacks armour to reduce physical damage and block chance to avoid attacks and spells. There is also life recovery when you block, as well as fortify from the Animate Guardian.

About the Build

Summon Raging Spirits Guardian

ABOUT

Please check levelling planner for buying gems in Acts.

JEWELS

There are four jewel sockets that you can use for ghastly eye jewels.
The important mods are: life, minion damage and added fire damage.
If you are having mana problems, use a Conqueror’s Efficiency from Act 8.




ASCENDANCY

Radiant Crusade
Unwavering Crusade
Bastion of Hope
Time of Need



PANTHEON

Major: Brine King
Minor: Abberath
Freeze immunity, Burning ground immunity


Gear, Gems Links & Flasks

GENERAL

Here is an overview of the gear, including gems, links and examples.
Overall, the priority is to get the highest life mod on all items. You can self-craft this using Essence of Greed.
Also make sure you have 75% elemental resistance, and positive chaos resistance.
Lastly, I recommend getting gear that has armour and energy shield. This will make colouring the sockets much easier because almost every gem is red or blue.



HELMET

For the helmet, I recommend reservation efficiency and cast speed. You can also try to get +2 to all minion gems.

The gems are: Raise Spectre, Carrion Golem, Meat Shield and Increased Duration.



There are several support spectres that you can use:
During the story acts, I recommend the Carnage Chieftain from Act 2. The frenzy charges will give a boost to the SRS’s damage as well as your cast speed.

If you prefer more survivability, you can try the Undying Evangelist from Act 3. The proximity shield blocks all hits from outside the shield.

You can get a big damage boost from Xoph’s Favoured and Loyal when you encounter a breach or use a breachstone. (Xoph is the fire one). Xoph’s Favoured gives a 20% damage buff, and Xoph’s Loyal makes enemies take 20% increased damage.



BODY

For the body armour, I recommend chance to block spells and increased offering effect.
Use the crafting bench to add ‘increased maximum life and mana’.

The gems are: Summon Raging Spirit, Unleash, Minion Damage, Predator, Melee Splash and Fire Penetration.

You can swap Melee Splash to Multistrike if you need more single target DPS.




GLOVES

For the gloves, I recommend fire exposure and increased minion damage.
You can craft Minion Damage with an Essence of Fear.

The gems are: Determination, Tempest Shield and Flammability.
The 4th socket is free in the league starter.




BOOTS

For the boots, I recommend avoid being poisoned and Scorched Ground.

The gems are: Anger, Generosity, Convocation and Flame Dash.




WEAPON

You can use an Essence of Fear to craft your starting wand.
Then upgrade to a wand with: +1 to all spells or +1 to minion spells.

The gems: Desecrate, Flesh Offering and Life Tap.

The special craft “trigger a socketed spell” will auto-cast the socketed gems. You can get it from unveiling weapons from Syndicate encounters.



SHIELD

For your shield, look for +1 to all Fire Spells or +1 to minions.

The gems are: Cast when Damage Taken linked to Frost Wall. And unlinked Molten Shell.

I keep my Cast when Damage Taken at level 4 and Frost Wall at level 12.



AMULET & RINGS

Use your amulet and rings to get as much life and resistance as possible.
You will also need to craft “Non-Channelling Skills have -7 to Total Mana Cost”.
And anoint your amulet with Arcane Guardian for extra spell block.




BELT

For the belt, use a good leather belt or a stygian vise with a ghastly eye jewel.




RECOMMENDED FLASKS

For the flasks, I like to use:
• Life with bleed immunity,
• Basalt with extra armour,
• Quicksilver,
• Quartz with burning removal,
• Granite with poison immunity.

>>> Watch 3.19 SRS Bomber Necromancer build guide video on YouTube <<<



About the Build

SRS Bomber / Popcorn SRS

ABOUT

This is a fun minion build that kills with satisfying pops. The focus is on survivability and clearing large packs of monsters. The main downside of the build is the delay between casting and doing damage.
This guide is for a league starter that will get you through the story and into early mapping. You can even do red tier mapping with low cost gear.
However, you will need one unique item for maximum efficiency, but the build will still work without it.


MINION INSTABILITY

The SRS Bomber is built around Minion Instability, which makes minions explode when they reach low life. We can scale the explosion with both minion life and damage.
The Tavukai unique amulet deals damage over time to the SRS. So, after a few seconds, they will trigger Minion Instability.

Ignite Proliferation will help burn any monsters that aren’t hit in the explosion.
You can swap the gem to Concentrate Effect if you need more single target damage for bosses.




GLOVES

For the gloves, the most useful implicit is increased minion damage.
You can craft Minion Damage with an Essence of Fear.

The gems are: Flammability, Blasphemy, Increased Area of Effect and Tempest Shield.

If you want more damage, you can replace Blasphemy with Skitterbots, but you’ll need to self-cast Flammability.




BOOTS

For the boots, I recommend avoid being poisoned and Scorched Ground.

The gems are: Stone Golem, Animate Guardian, Meat Shield and Determination.

The Animate Guardian is completely optional and can be replace with zombies.




WEAPON

The gems: Desecrate, Flesh Offering and Life Tap.




SHIELD

For your shield, look for +1 to all Fire Spells or +1 to minion gems.

The gems are: Molten Shell, Flame Dash and Convocation.

Use Convocation to reposition your support minion if they are in danger.



AMULET

For maximum efficiency, you need the Tavukai unique amulet.

Before you get it, you can use any amulet, and replace Elemental Army with Infernal Legion in your SRS links.

Anoint the amulet with Testudo for extra attack block.

Use the rings to get as much life and resistance as possible.

I recommend crafting “Non-Channelling Skills have -7 to Total Mana Cost”.

Upgrading after League Start

Each build has build defining uniques that might be very expensive!

great work Kay! :)
I started the league with your life version pure spectres with syndicate operatives, later on I switched to the aura stacker energy shield version for more tankiness and damage with a good investment.

any plans about making a ES version guide?
Anyone playing Primal Crushclaws?

I tried and it feels really good. But need help about next improvements.

Hi, I love your pure spectres build. It's been a lot of fun this league!

I have a question. If I upgrade to a 7L helmet, what skills should I be using in my 6-link?

The main reason is because there is another popular guide for zombies, so I never tried to make it.

But I have been thinking about trying to make it... hm
