[2.1 Ghazzy - Summoner Guides] Low Budget Builds
" Empower LvL 3. " Hey, Slight correction; I've said that Multistrike is better than Culling Strike. However, if you do not have a LvL 2+ Empower to use I'd implement Multistrike instead and keep using Culling Strike. If you are using Empower lvl 2+ and can sustain the mana cost within a Vaal Haste session using multistrike instead of culling strike, you should.

Yeah, a gem(lvl4) that costs 2x more than 6 linked weapon lol.

From what I've read here and in game, a lot of people seem to misunderstand what the optimal 6L setup (the one with the level 4 empower) means. It's the setup you have to aim for if you want to maximize your dps, not the setup you require to play the build at a very high performance level.
I'm playing a slightly modified version of the pure SRS hybrid build in standard. A level 3 empower is more than enough to destroy any content below level 80+ maps, I can tell you that from my own experience. Also, at least on standard, you can buy a corrupted level 3 empower for 2ex, I see them on the public board every other day. To level to ~90 or so, you don't need any empower at all. Multistrike is more than good enough to replace it until you can buy one. About the weapon. A 5L +2 fire staff with master crafted cast speed can carry you easily until you save enough currency for your 6L endgame staff of choice: Pledge or +3. It's cheap to get an SRS build up and running, but if you want you can spend a lot of currency and make it viable for even the most extreme content in the game. @Ghazzy Maybe you should add a quick note explaining a level 4 empower is more a luxury than a necessity in the gems section. I can understand that some people get put off when they see gem that in a low budget guide. Just my two cents since I keep lurking your summoner threads. | |
" Absolutely, the support gem display is for minmaxed situations only, it is what you as a player should strive to achieve. Now, you can do end game maps with only a 5L, absolutely, this includes Atziri. :) I appreciate the feedback regarding the Empower gem, i will go ahead and put a note on it seeing as the build is more than fine with a lvl 3 Empower. I'll update the thread, cheers! Guides: https://www.poe-vault.com/guides/ghazzy-guide-hub

Can you give me some advices, please (currently i'm lvl 75)? What gear should i upgrade, gem setup etc. Currently i'm sitting at: 3k life (minus 300 reserved by clarity) and 4k ES. My auras: Clarity, Disc, Hatred+Gen. Resist capped, 44% chaos.
Thank you! And gl Ghazzy with your stream! Last edited by joint77 on Aug 29, 2015, 8:36:50 AM

" Depending on whats available on the market I'd at least start with the gloves to get pure ES based piece there! Everything else looks alrightish. Now the Pure Hybrid SRS build doesn't need any HP rolls on the gear pieces once you got all the gear and chaos res so if you have currency or some gear pieces to do that transition you should be fine not having HP rolls but of course it requires the Energy Shield to make up for the defensive loss as it'll be your sole eHP with the extra addition of a small life pool with high chaos res to make up for the incoming chaos damage.

Hello Ghazzy!
Thank you for good guide! Still I have a question. I started an srs witch, and I don't understand what auras should I use. Can you explane this part? I mean when I load the game and go to farm some maps, what do I have to use? And what auras you should reccomend on lower levels (im lvl 30 now). And 1 more - is it ok to use wands or Doryani's catalyst, for example? Last edited by xxanderr on Aug 29, 2015, 10:48:41 AM

" Thanks, so for a 5L chest/staff, right now I have SRS + spell echo + minion damage + melee physical dmg (I switch to melee splash unless fighting boss) + multistrike? Should I drop a gem for culling strike or just leave it like that? There's no tooltip DPS on SRS so I can't really tell how much DPS is affected by each gem. | |
" Hey, X-Keystone builds (both of them) should have a minimum of 40-50% of your life pool existing as ES over your mana pool when you change over to EB. Pure Hybrid SRS should have around lvl 80 5k+ ES. " Hey, Cheers! You should use Generosity + Hatred (Only Hatred if you dont have generosity or the links/colors for it til you do). And you must be able to sustain your casting of the spirits, so make sure you have a clarity at what ever level you require at the time, which usually is the highest level you can use! I always implement Haste the very last after taking the last aura reservation nodes. It helps a lot yes, but nowhere near as much as Clarity & Hatred for the build. Spell Damage, Elemental Damage and/or Elemental specific damage does NOT affect any minions damage. So it is mostly a waste to equip such items. When leveling you could go for a "Reverberation Rod" which supports gems with a lvl 1 Spell Echo making you able to use from an early level (24+) SRS + Melee Splash + Minion Damage (+wands spell echo) "4L" SRS. Til you can equip yourself with a proper Spell Echo gem at the end of act 4. " Hey, No worries! DPS Calculations has to be done manually I'm afraid and it quiet tedious. Your setup looks minmaxed indeed, as long as you can sustain the mana cost when using Multistrike. :) Guides: https://www.poe-vault.com/guides/ghazzy-guide-hub
