just one question, will the baron helmet expensive af early in the league?

Can only speculate, since the nerf hit there will be some people who think SRS will be bad (which it will not) but then again, plenty of people will play this so yes the Baron will be slightly expensive, I would recommend trying to Chance orb Close Helmets early on if you can't afford it :)

I guess so. Whenever I open a thread about what build to play in 3.0, someone will say baron SRS, so it definitely will be popular. That said, if it is less than 30 chaos, it is not a big problem. Let's hope it won't go beyond 1-2ex.

I doubt it will be higher than 25c after the first day.

Is this build not picking up any Keystone nodes or is the 3.0 tree in Path of Building bugged for me aswell?

Only EE :)

What do you think about the change to Damage on Full Life? could that be a useable dmg multiplier that is better than any of the other we are using?

Could be useful, however, the SRS doesn't generate any direct agro, though they do still take damage from stray projectiles & colateral splash damage which makes it a risky support gem and simply not worth the risk.

Hope the price of the helmet will not be too expensive, but expect prices to be high initially. However it is pretty common. Found 4 or 5 last league so prices will only go downwards.

Unlike some builds which require more expensive items such as Tukuhama Shield or the Surrender Shield.

The other unique item useful is the Astramentis amulet and that one will definitely be more expensive.

Anyway, good luck guys, see you in Oriath![/quote]

Absolutely correct :)

Thinking I'm going to give this a try and later transition to an SRS auramancer support for my guildmates. Just wondering, have you considered swapping one of the Baron 4-links out for Decay during the leveling process? Possibly replace Minion Damage when going through zones and switching back for bosses?

Sounds great bro :)
Decay isn't very good since they nerfed it I'm afraid.

Love this build so far, it will be my choice on 3.0 release in HC league.

THere is any chance to beat guardians/shapper?

Awesome :D
Yes, this build can do anything, though I wouldn't recommend using this for Uber Atziri in hardcore due to the risk of dying.

Path of Building recommends the new ruthless support for a big dps upgrade. Do you recommend slotting it in, and if so, in place of what?

The choice of support gems depends on a lot of things, I haven't setup optimal damage supports for the build, instead I have set up optimal clear speed gems. If you wish for more damage you can switch Minion Speed for pretty much anything to increase the damage done.

Can I second the question about the support Damage on Full Life now applying to SRS - worth being part of 6L or even 4L?

P

Not worth the risk (explanation in one of the responses above)

melee splash and ruthless have an excellent synergy, as it will increase the clear speed even further (more oneshots!).
And with many spirits up, the ruthless hits will occur often.

For clear speed purposes I would need more testing since they changed the mechanic of it. However, you might be correct on this assumption.

Though, I can not say that it is optimal without actually testing first.

Just checked this out myself. At lvl 20 gems, 20 quality in a +3 staff with already having SRS, Melee Phys and Minion dmg. On a non-boss mob (because Im unsure how to factor in EE):

1. additional accuracy (probably because PoB rates minion accuracy so low?) - 42%
2. Ruthless - 40.7%
3. Elemental dmg with attacks - 40.1%
4. Multistrike - 38.8%
5. Elemental focus - 36.4%

Of course, you almost always want minion speed and melee splash, but this list remains useful for boss fight swaps if needed and for a 6L gem until you have empower3 on a staff with +3.

For clear speed, replacing melee physical with ruthless is a difference of about -14% DPS. Hard to say if the 1 shot ruthless effect causes higher clear speed than the 14% higher dmg hits. Since SRS hit very quickly, I would assume very little damage is wasted and a higher overall dps option is better?

Considering how easy it is to get the Ruthless gem, definitely seems worth the time.

Skill tree is not updatet for 3 00 ?

Nice build! Thanks for posting!

Hey,

I guess it comes down to testing the feeling for the setup and then it will land under the category of playstyle. :)

They are up to date.
If you were looking at them before 3.0 released they would have looked broken.

Hi, Ghazzy, great stuff for summoners as always.

Can i ask why you pathed through "Retribution" as opposed to "Sanctity". Also If I wanted to add some zombie flavour to the build what would you suggest skill tree wise adjusting? 90% optimiser, 10% Roleplayer :-/.
