[2.1 Ghazzy - Summoner Guides] High Budget Builds

@maniac I'd think about the harrier node. Without taking Dreamer you invest 6 points for 6% cast and move speed. This is very expensive. Either go for Dreamer or respec them all

As well you should get more resists on your gear such that you can respec sentinel.
Your +30 str node is unnecessary. You have +140 str from passives and the most your gems need is 97
At witch start next to Deep Wisdom you have a single int node which you can respec

regarding Belly or CoD: Since you don't use EB I don't think you have enough unreserved mana to get enough eHP out of CoD.

I am running a Belly myself and I clear lvl 68 maps without problem at level 67. I even did zana mission in lvl 72 palace map without problems. Although I hope to get a CoD drop or the currency to buy one

My next goal is to replace the Ruby Ring with an Unset Ring with Vaal Haste
@rambo,
Great advice! re harrier, I noob spec that - since I like movement speed :) but I guess it's time to let go. Let it goooo! (lol)

How is your clear speed with 4L + 2 minion setup?
Ain't dangerous not to have skeleton totem? --> belly makes the difference?
Cool setup on Temp chains.

When we step away from skeleton totem we are continuesly using the arc totem increasing our DPS significantly. I usually stop using skeletons around lvl 72 maps as i feel my SRS are capable of delivering enough DPS to keep me safe at this point. However, for the sake of safety in Beyond league i tend to have the gem still equiped for me to switch to in worst case scenarios.

playing this build atm at lvl 88 and it works really fine. also the synergy when mapping in group is ridicolous with generosity hatred and especially the vaal haste. got an arcer with me and our clearspeed is just insane :D so far i really like this build only downside was the chromatics. it cost me quite alot to get the chest and helmet coloured... like almost 1,5k chromes ^^.
ima buy a vaal summon skele soon and wait till gems are lvl 20 then ill try atziri with this :D

btw maybe ill test speccing out of scion mana nodes and walk to battle rouse (below scion wheel left side) it will cost 1 point more but you get 4% more mana and that 3% dmg gained as mana sounds like it could have good synergy with cloak.

although actually the unreserved mana pool is very very low for me what kinda negates the use of a cloak^^

ah and forgot to mention the cwdt setup with enfeeble is a nice alternative for your increased area in my opinion adds alot more safety then increased area and we dont curse any way^^

Spoiler
current gear

5019 life 620 mana unreserved with 365manareg and capped res

Don't underestimate movespeed. It is some kind of safety. But you get some movespeed from haste aura which gives you much more value for less points than harrier.

The clear speed is fine. I ran a mountain ledge map yesterday and no problem. For normal mobs I don't really need flesh offering although it increases clear speed a lot. Arc totem only for beyond or rare mobs.

Tbh I put the temp chains only in because I don't have a vaal haste gem, but yes it worked out pretty well.
Not having skeleton totem is more dangerous of course, but you just need to get used to it. You can use your arc totem as small distraction and for scouting. White mobs just die to the spirits, not much to worry about. For everything else you need constant repositioning. Imo repositioning is the most important defense for this build since you don't have high defense. You can say this builds defense is its offense. Kill stuff before it kills you.
I have a vaal skeleton gem for tougher situations which works fine as long as it is no beyond mob with storm herald
This is why i keep repeating that build guides should be seen more as guide lines rather than to follow it by 100% :)
Play your style of the build to make sure you feel most comfortable playing it.

I'm super glad to see so many people posting how and what they've done with the build!

Btw last night, I partied with an lvl ~68 ice shot bow ranger. Just the two of us on Lunaris. And when we got to piety, I quickly summoned my Skele Totem just around the edge of the big center circle.

And by the time I felt I've summon enough raging spirits at a safe distance. I tried to look for her. But in just a few seconds she died already! I didn't even see her or her name!!! I only saw the one spot where all my minions went.

My party mate said, my skeletons cornered her. He also mentioned he used a Vaal RoA at the beginning.

Great build! I'm at lvl 81 doing 71 maps with ease (I'm not doing higher maps solely because I haven't built my map pool to there yet).
.
My question is how to boost DPS. My gear is below:



My question is what are my next upgrades to boost DPS? lvl 20 gems? a 6L? 20%+ faster casting on a +2 staff? Getting another gem slot so I can add a curse (elemental weakness)?

And, and as for tree, I basically copied Ghazzy's tree but I'm missing the two 4% cast speed nodes, and the flask nodes.

what you guys have to understand is that this guide, and the listed gears and gems are those of somebody 80+ playing high level content. Don't follow guides for atziri builds to a T when you're still questing

case in point:
arcTotem vs other utilities

arcTotem is justified in atziri scenarios because arcTotem allows you to burst down bosses before they get a chance to hurt you. In this case, increased dps via arcTotem provides you with the best kind of "survivability" ... killing things before it can kill you
