[3.0] SRS auto animator

original idea of bens

the credit for the idea of the poison and jorhhast hammer belong to Ben's Ranged AutoSummoner

why this build better then his?

+ still working in 3.0 after the poison nerf
+ dont have to carry weapons with you, just use SRS
+ the minions will never take away your kills, so higher proc rate of AW


want to do something different?
love minions but hate to cast them all day long?
love to see your screen feel with huge army?

Mechanics

in order to activate this.. we need just 2 uniques:



the main idea here is to abuse the mechanic, where if your minions inflict poison, and the enemy die from that poison, id count as if you killed the enemy and that trigger
effect and summons your 7L animate weapon (with just 6s)

because of
, our minions cannot kill unignited enemies. so we will summon SRS(and AW) linked with elemental focus (to prevent ignites from the crits they might have), and poison.

its also important to put on the hammer Lesser poison so that the animate weapons could also kill with poison and create more and more, keep the ball running.


Gear


- mandatory to prevent minions from taking the kill, and prevent us from summoning the AW.
for summoning the AW automatically
since we do auramancer, this chest is the best, will be linked with auras: empower-anger-wrath + 2 unlinked: haste and hate we reserve like this all the mana

really good for this build, make more items drop on ground so you can animate more
try get rings with life res and minion movement speed, also get unset one for vaal haste and flesh offering, really make you clear MUCH faster
essence of hysteria gloves to 5L SRS
just normal items with life and res
and of course 2 spirit guard jewel so we will have 16 ranged AW



Ascendancy class

the best one to use is without a doubt:

necromencer - for minion dmg / speed and duration. also bet for all the auras we use (semi auramencer)


Pros anc Cons

+ unique mechanic and fun
+ relatively cheap (helm cost nothing, hammer is like 60c atm and tabula rasa is another 13c)
+ really easy to play
+ dpnt have to carry weapons with you, SRS is at your service
+ great dps
+ very good clear speed
+ good for most map mods (have found something it cant do atm)

- can be laggy
- take time to start the rolling of the AW
- the hammer is hard to get this league so be quick to get one


Bandits

just skill points



FAQ

Q: what about uber lab/ uber atziri/ shaper?
A: for bosses without spawns before them, you cant anime weapons, so its best to have on your wepaon swap +2 fire +1 all staff / bow + quiver and just go normal 6L SRS

Wow this build is cool! I have always wanted to try Jorrhast's but wasn't aware of the interaction of poison always giving credit to you as opposed to minions. Definitely trying this in the near future.
done a lot of changes, now the build is segnifically better :)

I have some questions. First why there is no aura on ourselves? There is no resist from helmet, chest and amulet. Because we want to use essence crafted rings and gloves, it is very expensive to get high resist from them, running say lvl 1 clarity or just purity of elements seems a good option to get additional 20 all resists?

Second about the link, why Minion Damage is not in your link for animate weapon?
as for the aura, if youll notice, i tried to put as many useful auras for the minions, and if i put aura outside the chest, it will cost too much and ill loose another aura for that.
i wouldnt say the items are expanise, ring cost me like 3 c each... the gloves are expanisve (~20c) but thats it, and its doable to get nice life + res on all the rest (rings belt boots). so that is enough for that.

I think perhaps if not using hatred and swap added cold with some other gem like minion damage or added lightning, then minions only do physical, chaos, fire and lightning damage so we can use cold damage to trigger EE (maybe also apply curse) which will give more damage then hatred?
