I'm trying to get back into the game after a year long break. I played SRS with Elemental Equilibrium (Arc+Spell totem) and wonder whether that would be a boost to DPS (cutting out the 3 gem movement skill and replacing it with flame dash).

Also, could you go into more detail on crafting the helm? Do you Essence + Regal + Exalt until you get something good or is there a cheaper way? I blew all my exalts on Shavs so I'm terrified of that being the case.

Excited to respec into the build!!

I decided that between the two builds (Poison SRS and Ele SRS) that I will go elemental, because I dont want to interrupt my friends' curses.

My only goal atm is to reach the challenges required to get the wings- atm im at 25 completed.

Idk how to post gear and stuff so I will write it out.

I am lvl 90, I have a 5-link shavs, steppan eard boots, pariah ring, ephermeral edge sword, 200 es gloves, 200 es helm(with 3% reduced reservation), and 400 es shield, and 8 ex in my stash.

This comes out to 9900 ES with ephermeral edge, and 8700 without it.

If you guys could help me decide what to improve on, it would help a lot. My gems are not quality and none are corrupted, but I am considering corrupting some SRS's but maybe 6link should come before that?

If you want to save gems on the moment skill, just stick with Shield Charge / Whirling Blades. In most cases they'll be superior to Flame Dash. An EE Arc totem would boost your damage by a bit, but most stuff should die fast enough so it wouldn't really be worth it in my opinion.

As for crafting the helmet, just use the Screaming Essence of Loathing + Orb of Scouring until you get rolls that you can live with. You can always get a 2nd helmet to roll on in the future.

I wonder - what do I need to do shaper ? I mean what about aurasetup and stuff. Golem dies rly quick. How to deal with stuff?

Feels like I need 2 vaal clarities.


Your thoughts gentelmens ? Set-up, action, tactic?

One item that I would put as a requirement is the Shavronne's Revelation, as pausing to let the shield recharge will most likely kill you. Besides from that it should mainly be about positioning, avoiding stuff, and keeping the stone golem up at all times (which will probably be the hardest part). Bringing a life potion can be a good idea so you always have life to recast the Golem.

as SquallGBlade said, currency drops are only affected by Item Quantity. Thus running a blue map with 30% quantity will give more currency drop than running Dried Lakes with 23% IIQ. The best advice I can give is to play in maps that are fast to clear, and to always have +%Pack Size and then as much quantity as you can get on the rolls.

I have only 47 left if I add clarity to my active auras bringing them to 7 without the vaal ones.

Which is recommended the stone golem bonus for helm or the lower mana reserve ?

Level 89 so I'll try to get one more mana reserve node from champion of the cause if i can level that high.

as you mentioned, you should really try to get the Champion of the Cause node. If you get +Dexterity on your gloves, then you can drop the +30 Agility node. Also drop the Occulist's Dominion, that one is mainly used later on to give us some extra ES. In addition to those two nodes I would spec out of the Jewel socket + Resistance nodes just below the Scion start, with all that resistance you have on your rings you shouldn't be needing them atm. That should give the 5 points required to get the Champion of the Cause node.

As for helmet enchantment, go for the Stone Golem buff effectiveness if you can find one, and then use the Screaming Essence of Loathing on it.

Hello, as a rule I always vendor my gems together with a GCP as soon as they reach level 20, you will get a dps drop for a little while but the damage comes back quickly with a few levels; and then corrupt them when you get them to 20/20. If I were you I would buy a 20/20 SRS gem if you don't have it - they're cheap, and then level 6x SRS gems in your off-sockets, preferably with 15+ quality on them (as you've some currency saved up) so you can GCP them to 20 and then vaal them when they ding 20.

As for the rest. I would first focus on getting a 6l shavs. Either buy a new one without links and try to link it yourself, then you can always continue playing with your 5l until you get the other one to a 6l. After your 6L I would get the United in Dream cutlass or the Presence of Chayula.
