Somebody recommended your build under Pals new leaguestart build video as an alternative SRS Champ build and I gotta say, this looks fantastic. Definitely gonna be running this for Affliction
Hello, great build. I took your concept of aura champ srs and made some adjustments and tried it with ranged Animated Weapon, and i have to say it is one of the most fun minion builds i have ever played. and with current price of some "ex"chase uniques it performs well on medium budget. I haven't tried ubers yet because i am SC and neglected defences a bit and am still missing big jewel upgrades. For anyone who wants to try: i got ashes, squire and shaper mace with 40% more attack and 2 socketed support gems ( ideally edwas/ele focus and faster attacks). The clear feels amazing and single target is nothing to scuff at either. only downside is the need of lingering blades which makes it even more gem hungry and a bit scuffed when dealing with heavy aoe bosses.
I tried poison srs this league and loved it. Never got around to running this version but i think ill run it for next build after league start . Looks awesome and now i have experience with both srs and champion. Thanks for guide.
Awesome build man, been a big fan ever since following your cold dot blasting sessions in several league starts and gauntlets. Thanks for sharing, and the video is excellent quality as well
Tried this build this league for my first attempt at ubers and finally decided to try them tonight. Killed all ubers with little issue (failed Maven and Sirus first attempt due to skill issue). 6.2 mil uber dps on PoB. Farmed maybe 25-30 ubers after I learned the fights (garbage drops though of course lol). Thank you for such a great build guide mate, hope to see more.
Beast of a build for sure. I played Balor’s poison budget version and was so surprised just how far I took the build on basic gear and very little investment. Now with poison being capped to what 35mil this seems like the solution. To get the fix and feel comfy while doing it. Great content! This might be build 3 for me to test. Thanks for a good POB since that’s the point of entry for our group to choose and test/validate builds from.
At first I had my doubts but now I kinda see how this worked. SRS getting hard carried by march of the legion + aura effect while being champion. Pretty nice angle for SRS build.
Now that we've seen at least one transfigured version of SRS released I'm curious to hear your thoughts on how it compares to the normal version, and whether it's worth using?
I made a quick Sanctum PoB using Enormity in my builds sheet, as of right now I think the main purpose for non-minion-instability Enormity is doing cold-based SRS in Sanctum for guaranteed freezes on everything. Damage is very similar to baseline SRS when Unleash is dropped, although Enormity has a 0.8sec cast time vs SRS's 0.5sec. TLDR Enormity is probably good in Sanctum, and likely niche outside of that
@@PhazePlays_ How much has changed in 3.23? I just came across this build since i was looking for an alternative to Poison SRS. Does the lose of tattoo's affect this very much?
I'm lvling this in ssf right now. I made some changes for ssf like speccing towards EB on the tree as i don't have Devouring Diadem. Very excited to see how this plays out, I've made several compromises since i don't have a lot of the gear, only March of the Legion. So I will likely get at most 5M dmg once I've finished lvling. But that 5million dmg is still more than double than my Cold BV and this is on a shoestring budget. Ty for the guide
I am looking to re leaguestart ssf and this build looks pretty good for very nice all rounder with cool stuff to farm/craft for. I was thinking about EB as well and before diadem, maybe to just drop the bottom right side and have less suppress for awhile. How have you made your pre diadem tree im curious
@@korhanalparslan8730 I'm in maps now, i specced from left most side of the tree, past sovereignity all the way to EB, cost me 10 points. I have decided to grind for Diadem with my other character for now, since I'd like to get Diadem. My pob says that, in ideal situations with 20 minions, that i do 2 Million dps. My char is only lvl 70 atm. He said not to do this build without blessed rebirth, i did it, and it was PAIN. I've farmed 100 - 200 clusters, so far no luck finding minion life medium cluster
I'll definitely consider this for a future starter or something, I already tried Guardian SRS and rerolled into poison so starting over would be a little much. However as far as I can tell, the main draw to consider this alternative is the trigger craft. I don't mind the ramp time much but then again I also enjoy poison spark and such.
Hey, first time Ive seen your videos, firstly, very well made guide and getting so far into Gauntlet speaks a lot! I played the Poison SRS last league and it was pretty insane.. maybe lacked a BIT of defence but not much. Wonder if I should give this a go over the Poison this league, specially for ubas. Thanks for the video!
i ran the league on Poison SRS. This is what i am trying next before this league ends and may make it my next league start if nothing gets too nerfed. TY!
You can level SRS as duelist if you use a honourhome corrupted with +2 minion or fire. If you get both you get +9 to SRS at level 16(+2 helmet, +4 corruption, +3 empower).
Love the idea about the build, but I can agree with ppl, that a new vid is ok to have.Remove tattoos , give some advice for maybe alternatives for those items before end game , maybe an opinion for the new gem quality and is it a buff or not, your predictions and so on.Really wanted to start with the build but the lack of the things mentioned makes me a bit reserved.Thank you for the build ofc :)
Forget all that strife with levelling, if you're gonna respec when you get to maps anyway, you might as well just level with hollow palm since you're in the best start for it anyway.
Very interesting! I have a champion sitting in the corner, tried explosive arrow and corrupting fever, not a fan of either. Now, I have to try this, I got 20+ sanctum books that I want to run myself but don't want to level a new character at the end of this league
Honestly an insane build. I PoBed poison srs on a medium budget and the lightning version on the same budget had almost twice the dps and of course no ramp. If you're planning to go srs, I definitely recommend lightning. Also might be worth pointing out that on poison people often go Fourth Vow + Xibaqua, which seems to be tankier than Eternal Damnation + Loreweave, especially against elemental pen.
Hey mate, this build is actually insane with further investment. I've added 90 allres, and (so far) 70% phys > elemental conversion. This allows the use of +3 amulet, and +2 helm, making up for the damage loss of empower on wrath. Anyways, the toon is literally invincible, just wanted to say thanks so much for the inspiration, while mine looks very different now, I really took a lot from you - absolute ripper.
@@PhazePlays_ I'm just running Chays now for the last few lvls and trying to hit life on all my t1 jewels, Ill link the PoB later today. Just want to clarify that I am sure I've made a few mistakes, if you want to cast a much more experienced eye over it I'd actually love that tbh. Comfortably took uber shaper slams with no shell at lvl 85 :) Edit: Lol sorry, Champ :)
Ahh gotcha yea that sounds solid. The free armour from Champ might let you drop Determination with that much Phys Taken as Elemental at least for mapping, interesting setup
@@PhazePlays_ With a bit of work now it's... gotten to a whole other level. Im about to hit 98 which is enough for a solid tree, I really wouldn't be surprised if after a quick look you'd find a lot I could improve, I'd trully appreciate the input. Just gonna clean things up as I've only been at it for the past 2 days :) Again bro, thanks, this is amazing.
Hi i just wanted to add that I thank you so much for this build. I have played smite summoner for many leagues but this league its the best its ever been. Especially this version and the Guardian version. I am playing Animate Weapon Chain of Command with Rakiata and its....fantastic!!! Its insanely tanking with stacking auras and aura effect, it doesnt care about resistances so no curses and free slots. Its beyond tanky with 50%+ life recovery rate, minions are immortal, i am immortal with block regen recoup etc. And the damage....omg.....its insane. T16 maps bosses are dead in a second and under Uber bosses in few seconds. Slowly going in the 90s now and will report the ubers but the build concept, with the new jewel and the Toe amulet for lucky damage make it absolutely fantastic. People focus too much on the new guardian minions and ignored the aura stacking
Movement speed quality is pretty big for SRS. Not a fan of SRS alt quals, and they're much harder to get lvl 21. Divergent SRS is probably decent for bossing. For SC, I'd probably just replace the chest and amulet with more offensive pieces depending on content, maybe Perquil's Toe not sure
I just rerolled to this build and it feels amazing, getting the whole build set up was under 25 divs, 15divs just to craft the sceptre though Xd..But great overall thanks for the guide
Two questions -how would you compare this to a guardian equivalent in an SSD environment? I'm totally ok with this being worse on leaguestart as long as the progression curve is reasonable and not gated behind very specific items -with a lot of cast speed, would you consider dropping unleash for another damage support? Or is that just nah
As far as SSF leaguestarting goes, Guardian is vastly superior to Champion. Unleash is a mandatory link for SRS, you'll rarely if ever hit the 20 SRS cap without Unleash during typical gameplay
Wow awesome guide and top tier editing, super informative, you deserve way more subs. I had a question do you think this is a good league starter build or is it better to start with poison SRS and farm currency for this one?
I was cooking lightning SRS to prep for races after I couldn't get the shit I needed for poison SRS to drop during practice. I am going to try a reduced mana tree see if I can manage this without diadem.
I got a divine shrine farming with my CF champ and was looking for a build to be my next and possibility last build for the league and I think I found it haha
Bro i league started deadeye LA then rolled a necro posion srs, got to know that impending doom might not make it to next league unless ggg changes their mind AND NOW I SEE YOUR AMAZING VIDEO AND IM CONTEMPLATING IF I SHOULD ROLL ONE AND SELL ALL POISON SRS GEAR LMAO, all things a side amazing video, ill edit this if i decide to roll a 4th character this league 😂
This looks great. What do you think about playing this without any tattoos? Would it be worth it still, or should I do something else with a high level champion? Thanks!
Thanks! Greed essence until minion damage with 1 open prefix and any 2 suffixes, craft "Prefixes can't be changed" to fill up suffixes, harvest augment fire for guaranteed +1 fire, then finish suffixes
+1 Fire spells is slightly better than +1 Lightning spells iirc, but they should be close enough to each other that it doesn't matter much. But do +1 fire on shield since we can choose the element
catalyst resistance, harvest reforge chaos until good suffixes, craft suffixes can't be changed, veiled chaos or aisling, block mana, 75% chance to unveil life, redeemer orb slam and cross your fingers
I think league starting with boneshatter slayer then respec to champ is the best way to start with this one. took me several attempts at acts to find that answer. overleech is such a good qol while earning currency to shift.
Want is your take on this for SSF ? I did enjoy srs guardian and this seems like an even tankier build. Instead of summoning sentinel you press smite basically. You can farm diadam from white maps then lore weave and ED can be gotten over time right ?
I just spent upfront 15 divs rolling my scepter and it went so smooth !!! took fewer than 50 shriekings and all the rest just went without issue that i felt super lucky... what would you recommend me craft next: rings, gloves or boots, or clusters? i don't usually have a lot of currency on me i have a trouble saving things up...
Appreciate it! Seismic doesn't quite have the damage that it used to, and Pathfinder struggles getting a decent amount of AoE. But it's definitely not bad by any means
what would you recomend for this league ? charms ? onslaught with 5 nearby and doube exposure bonus ? aura effect isnt a thing :/ or something else? thanks mate
Amazing. This tech (March of Legion boots, vaal smite, wrath, geneorosity and sceptre) can be used in any elemental SRS and increase damage by 30-40%. Guardian and Necro would be easier to league start with. Champion gives more tankyness end-game? I just happend to get the boots as drops in a private league and have been using them since acts. Just for divinve bless haste and some +aura. Vaal smite and sceptre is a game change.
Since ur main damage scaling is from aura, do u think this lightning aura tech can be used for other minions too? Like dominating blow or skele warrior or spectre?
I don't see why the lightning aura scaling couldn't be done with a lot of different minion setups, not sure how strong they'd be but probably worth experimenting with
@@PhazePlays_ havent tried yet but one thing worth mentioning is that minion skill without the innate 'minion deal # more damage' mod wont get that high damage unlike SRS/animate weapon/carrion golem
Looks insane, and perfect for the content I'm planning to run, However I was wondering about the recovery part, how would i fit in high recovery into the build even at the cost of damage?
From the PoB Notes: I'd highly recommend always keeping multistrike in your inventory to gem swap during guardians, conquerors, sanctums, etc. Gem swapping is unnecessary during general mapping, however
I'm running into an issue where I don't have the mana to run Determination, Haste, Skitterbots and then be able to cast Wrath. What am I missing? Do we skip using Haste and just use Vaal Haste? I didn't see this explained anywhere in the video.
Can you recommend a 10 div version of this build? Just wondering if we can get it running at first without some of the higher priced items and what that might look like.
For body armour, Awakener Orb "% increased effect of Offerings" and "% increased effect of Non-Curse Auras from your Skills" together is an idea. I'm sure there's quite a few options, but I haven't looked in-depth for SC
I messed with the idea briefly but it doesn't seem that great for a few reasons: we don't have access to Brittle from boots to help with base crit, the build is point-starved as is so grabbing "Fearsome Force" on the passive tree might be tricky, and this build doesn't scale primarily through levels of minion gems which "Maata's Teaching" gives
I've seen people mention doing EA ballistas as a stopgap before boneshatter, with less messing around with tree etc and NOT boneshatter. Any chance you can re-think your leveling strategy? An alternative would be good for those who really dont want to play such a vastly different build for a long time.
Explosive Arrow and Lightning Arrow are both viable for Champ leveling, but it makes more sense to follow someone elses specialized guide for those builds until the SRS swap
since you literally path right by EE, why not just grab it? then you can make any normal +1 +1 weapon, instead of the stabilising scepter, would save drastically on the cost no?
We use a Sceptre for Smite, and none of the other Sceptre implicits do anything for the build. Using a +2 is an option sure, but you lose the minion damage roll in most cases. Also, there may be situations where you want to path differently on the passive tree or play the build on another ascendancy, use EE on tree for a timeless jewel keystone, etc
Hi sir, great looking build. WSanting to play this next league but what is a good build to play to transition into this once i get diadem? i hate rerolling. thanks xxx
Hey! Do we know how the SRS gem change affects the damage from wrath, smite etc? Cant seem to find a clear answer to this anywhere. Does it work like in 3.22 or is the damage nerfed?
@@PhazePlays_ Ok, thank you for taking the time to answer❤ I am looking forward to trying out this lightning version. played a few other SRS variants before. Have a great leaguestart!
Wouldnt slapping a high lvl Smite on the Guardian version also work as well? Obviously not nearly as much dmg from the Smite but with all the other nice benefits from being Guardian??
-44 from conductivity, -35 from ele weakness, -25 from exposure, 8% penetration from mastery. believe most bosses have 50 ele res, so bosses would be at -62 lightning resist or so. don't think fleshcrafter is very good here unfortunately
Hi, love the guide. Im a long time player, but was considering playing srs for the first time this league. I mainly play softcore. What would you say are some things to shoot for when trying to max dps on softcore? I saw where you suggested to awakeners orb a rare chest w/ non curse auras and offerings and that you could hit upwards of 200 million. Fleshcrafter might also be a decent option. I believe your hc build had around 45mil dps. Is it possible to go with a more offensive watchers eye? (im assuming the mods for wrath dont apply to srs, but idk. Maybe a gem levels ammy (not sure how much gem levels helps srs in your version since wrath seems to carry a good bit of your damage) I was thinking replica dragonflight or simplex ammy, maybe a elegant hubris with 80% minion damage x3 or x4. Anything else you can think of?
Hi, a question - what do you think of annointing Enduring Bond (increased minion damage and duration) instead of Whispers of Doom? It's a net loss of DPS but it seems hard to manually cast two curses + all the raing spirits during difficult boss encounters, so effectively having longer duration and some additional damage might end up increasing the effective DPS

And the first srs that I like.
thank you sir :)

Honestly an insane build. I PoBed poison srs on a medium budget and the lightning version on the same budget had almost twice the dps and of course no ramp. If you're planning to go srs, I definitely recommend lightning. Also might be worth pointing out that on poison people often go Fourth Vow + Xibaqua, which seems to be tankier than Eternal Damnation + Loreweave, especially against elemental pen.
if you go jugg with this setup you are immortal (fourth vow + xibaqua/divine flesh)
@@ruffwm if you get enough armor u can just use xibaqua and the 10% arm to chaos mastery and use a beastly rare chest and be even more immortal
nothing is stopping you from doing that on the lightning version and then you have the amulet slot free for a rare one with + levels or perquil's toe
Have you considered a route where you use rallying cry with energy blade to add even more lightning to minions?
Solid af guide.

Could you use a mageblood over a darkness enthroned?

Thanks! Greed essence until minion damage with 1 open prefix and any 2 suffixes, craft "Prefixes can't be changed" to fill up suffixes, harvest augment fire for guaranteed +1 fire, then finish suffixes
@@PhazePlays_ thanks! by fire, do you mean lightning? I've also made a scepter except that it has +1 cold, how do I change it to lightning?
sorry, I just realised the guide said +1 lightning, spell or fire - not cold :(
+1 Fire spells is slightly better than +1 Lightning spells iirc, but they should be close enough to each other that it doesn't matter much. But do +1 fire on shield since we can choose the element
Any tipps on how to craft those endgame rings in ssf? Love the build
catalyst resistance, harvest reforge chaos until good suffixes, craft suffixes can't be changed, veiled chaos or aisling, block mana, 75% chance to unveil life, redeemer orb slam and cross your fingers
I think league starting with boneshatter slayer then respec to champ is the best way to start with this one. took me several attempts at acts to find that answer. overleech is such a good qol while earning currency to shift.
Want is your take on this for SSF ?
I did enjoy srs guardian and this seems like an even tankier build. Instead of summoning sentinel you press smite basically.
You can farm diadam from white maps then lore weave and ED can be gotten over time right ?
I just spent upfront 15 divs rolling my scepter and it went so smooth !!! took fewer than 50 shriekings and all the rest just went without issue that i felt super lucky... what would you recommend me craft next: rings, gloves or boots, or clusters? i don't usually have a lot of currency on me i have a trouble saving things up...
Can you this be played as a guardian? lower dps and lower survivability maybe?
Assuming you have the gear already. Is the only reason not to switch earlier is the skill points?
This is an absolutely cracked build. Love the guide, will be testing it out. How do you feel about Poison Seismic Trap Pathfinder?
Appreciate it! Seismic doesn't quite have the damage that it used to, and Pathfinder struggles getting a decent amount of AoE. But it's definitely not bad by any means
So we can swap as soon as we get the 3 required items to srs?
Yep!
do you have any idea how much they will cost on league start?@@PhazePlays_
what would you recomend for this league ? charms ? onslaught with 5 nearby and doube exposure bonus ? aura effect isnt a thing :/ or something else? thanks mate
Amazing.
This tech (March of Legion boots, vaal smite, wrath, geneorosity and sceptre) can be used in any elemental SRS and increase damage by 30-40%.
Guardian and Necro would be easier to league start with. Champion gives more tankyness end-game?
I just happend to get the boots as drops in a private league and have been using them since acts. Just for divinve bless haste and some +aura. Vaal smite and sceptre is a game change.
Does it work with skele mage too?
@@alvadaganstaGhazzy and another skel mage guides use divine bless gem + aura, so I can confirm its works!
hi why is resolute technique important? also how big do you think minion speed nerf is next league?
what do you think of thunderfist on this build?
Since ur main damage scaling is from aura, do u think this lightning aura tech can be used for other minions too? Like dominating blow or skele warrior or spectre?
I don't see why the lightning aura scaling couldn't be done with a lot of different minion setups, not sure how strong they'd be but probably worth experimenting with
@@PhazePlays_ havent tried yet but one thing worth mentioning is that minion skill without the innate 'minion deal # more damage' mod wont get that high damage unlike SRS/animate weapon/carrion golem
can this be viable as a league starter?
bro i am going for this in this league as starter. DO you still recommend same leveling with changes to lancing steel etc
Looks insane, and perfect for the content I'm planning to run, However I was wondering about the recovery part, how would i fit in high recovery into the build even at the cost of damage?
Ahhh im too deep in poison srs, kinda wanted to switch D:. Also do you switch to melee splash when mapping? or just permanently use multistrike?
From the PoB Notes: I'd highly recommend always keeping multistrike in your inventory to gem swap during guardians, conquerors, sanctums, etc.
Gem swapping is unnecessary during general mapping, however
I'm running into an issue where I don't have the mana to run Determination, Haste, Skitterbots and then be able to cast Wrath. What am I missing? Do we skip using Haste and just use Vaal Haste? I didn't see this explained anywhere in the video.
you need to run them in Diadem helmet and you use it with ES not mana
is it possiable to play this as guardian? build idea is amazing gj
Can you recommend a 10 div version of this build? Just wondering if we can get it running at first without some of the higher priced items and what that might look like.
There's a midgame gear set inside the PoB
Thanks Phaze, my bad for not going through the POB in more detail.
Sorry if i didnt check it enough but are your Minions dealing lightning dmg just because of your ghastly jewels, wrath and smite?
yep!
@@PhazePlays_ how do you make sceptres with Minions rolls? I guess its just One essence right? So you cant have more than one mod?
@@andrereis6357 in PoB notes have a craft session for Sceptre!
what would you run for armor in soft core since we dont need the lore/damn combo?
For body armour, Awakener Orb "% increased effect of Offerings" and "% increased effect of Non-Curse Auras from your Skills" together is an idea. I'm sure there's quite a few options, but I haven't looked in-depth for SC
Do you think it'd be possible to use the new Maata's Teaching's scepter with this build to go crit?
I messed with the idea briefly but it doesn't seem that great for a few reasons: we don't have access to Brittle from boots to help with base crit, the build is point-starved as is so grabbing "Fearsome Force" on the passive tree might be tricky, and this build doesn't scale primarily through levels of minion gems which "Maata's Teaching" gives
I've seen people mention doing EA ballistas as a stopgap before boneshatter, with less messing around with tree etc and NOT boneshatter. Any chance you can re-think your leveling strategy? An alternative would be good for those who really dont want to play such a vastly different build for a long time.
Explosive Arrow and Lightning Arrow are both viable for Champ leveling, but it makes more sense to follow someone elses specialized guide for those builds until the SRS swap
So, what'd be the budget for the high end version?
cool build,if 3.23 none tattoo can this build work?
since you literally path right by EE, why not just grab it? then you can make any normal +1 +1 weapon, instead of the stabilising scepter, would save drastically on the cost no?
We use a Sceptre for Smite, and none of the other Sceptre implicits do anything for the build. Using a +2 is an option sure, but you lose the minion damage roll in most cases. Also, there may be situations where you want to path differently on the passive tree or play the build on another ascendancy, use EE on tree for a timeless jewel keystone, etc
Hi sir, great looking build. WSanting to play this next league but what is a good build to play to transition into this once i get diadem? i hate rerolling. thanks xxx
Hey!
Do we know how the SRS gem change affects the damage from wrath, smite etc? Cant seem to find a clear answer to this anywhere. Does it work like in 3.22 or is the damage nerfed?
It appears that SRS is unchanged next patch, that line was just a tooltip change (though it looks like it is a Minion Instability nerf)
@@PhazePlays_ Ok, thank you for taking the time to answer❤ I am looking forward to trying out this lightning version. played a few other SRS variants before. Have a great leaguestart!
Hi im not much experienced player, so i need to ask you. Wrath socketed into boots must be started every few seconds? I dont see it in you video…
Wouldnt slapping a high lvl Smite on the Guardian version also work as well? Obviously not nearly as much dmg from the Smite but with all the other nice benefits from being Guardian??
What affliction ascendency goes best. I have charms on my lightning champ but i'm not sure
I was thinking about how Fleshcrafter would go, does the 2 curse setup + elemental equilibrium get to negative resistances?
-44 from conductivity, -35 from ele weakness, -25 from exposure, 8% penetration from mastery. believe most bosses have 50 ele res, so bosses would be at -62 lightning resist or so. don't think fleshcrafter is very good here unfortunately
How well does this work in 3.23 without tattoos?
Tattoos are a bit of a loss but there should be borrowed power in Affliction to make up for it. Basically unchanged for the most part
Hi, love the guide. Im a long time player, but was considering playing srs for the first time this league. I mainly play softcore. What would you say are some things to shoot for when trying to max dps on softcore? I saw where you suggested to awakeners orb a rare chest w/ non curse auras and offerings and that you could hit upwards of 200 million. Fleshcrafter might also be a decent option. I believe your hc build had around 45mil dps. Is it possible to go with a more offensive watchers eye? (im assuming the mods for wrath dont apply to srs, but idk. Maybe a gem levels ammy (not sure how much gem levels helps srs in your version since wrath seems to carry a good bit of your damage) I was thinking replica dragonflight or simplex ammy, maybe a elegant hubris with 80% minion damage x3 or x4. Anything else you can think of?
Any alternative for loreweave on a cheap budget? (Ruthless)
Can the standard SRS filter work here? I'm kind of new to POE and i'm wondering if it's okay to use that filter
So if running angwr with the lightning spectre how do you deal with your smite doing fire from aof?
Hi, a question - what do you think of annointing Enduring Bond (increased minion damage and duration) instead of Whispers of Doom? It's a net loss of DPS but it seems hard to manually cast two curses + all the raing spirits during difficult boss encounters, so effectively having longer duration and some additional damage might end up increasing the effective DPS
Worth trying if SRS doesn't go over 4s duration due to Blessed Rebirth
