I am uncomfortable using a melee movement skill, for my SRS Mage.

Main Hand:

Shield Charge + Faster Attacks + Fortify


It seems to me, the last place I want to be, is in the middle of a mob, with Shield Charge.

Thinking of what to use, instead of Shield Charge.

Maybe Vaal Summon Skeletons.

Any suggestions?


Its important to move around quickly, so shield charge not only allows for high movement but also gets the added effect of giving us Fortify, which is a huge defensive buff. You're not staying in the middle of the mobs at all times.

If you would like to stay at range but still utilize EE you can use Whirling Blades or Flame Dash to move as needed and self cast arc to spread out the EE debuff. Any mob that touches your Flame Dash trail will apply a fire EE debuff to the mob which will greatly affect your damage, so I don't really recommend that one.

I would encourage you, however, to watch some of the gameplay footage on the YT guide for the build. It may change your mind on Shield Charge. It ends up being pretty quick and responsive. This is still mostly a ranged build with only brief periods of being in melee.

Hope this helps!

No list of equipment

I understand this guide comes from iHuy's guide and that's where the problems come from. Still, 2/10.

Well, if you didn't like Huy's guide either, I did that one, too. Oops.

I'm sorry you don't like the extensive amount of time I put into making sure the guide (both of them, really) had as much information as possible to help new players. It's a challenge to organize that much data, and I personally thought spoilers were a great way to do so. I also know that not everyone needs that amount of information. That's also why I conveniently placed the PoB's at the top of the page for people whom are more experienced and just want to see the build at a glance and decide for themselves.

Thank you for your feedback.

Yep, the new minion nodes in that area are excellent :) Worth the investment!

Not bad for a SSF tree. As you roll jewels along the way don't be afraid to expand out to more sockets!

Hey Brittleknee, now that incursion is core what do you think of a sceptre like this over scourge, it's like a 1.5% overall dps drop at full build, in return for permanent dmg uptime and cast speedboost.

Seems slightly more reliable for uatziri/shaper/uelder giving you the option to hang further back?
