[3.1] SRS LL Auramancer in-depth guide

More life just allows you to have a bigger mana pool to cast SRS. It won't help with giving you more life for reserving auras since those are % based. You can easily upgrade your shield to a higher ES shield. Use Ephemeral Edge as your sword so you can get 50% to maximum ES. Steppen Eard will be a cheap way of getting 150+ ES boots with MS. While the ES from your hubris circlet is nice, you will need to essence craft it for the mana reservation.

If you're able to, I suggest just running as a support in a group to farm some currency to upgrade your gear.

What content have you been able to solo with this? Or do you mostly recommend it for support in party play? 5k ish es seems rather low for soloing higher level stuff.

With the 1H + shield build I did up to T13 solo. Only problem I had was with Gorge boss where I shield charged into impassable terrain and killed myself. If you play smart, it's not problem. As for uber lab, I can do any layout except for the checkerboard pattern with the fonts in the center of them. For that layout the center is the only "open" area I can stand in. If played well I could probably do that consistently but I am still new to this build. Overall, I've done most game content with this build while never noticing I am fighting a boss solely because I am able to kill them offscreen. One of the tougher boss fights was on abyss where I had forgotten to bring a ruby flask with ignite removal. Again that goes with playing smart to prevent easily avoidable deaths.

I do a lot of party play as support because my guild mates do not have the damage to do higher tier content by themselves. When they are not available and I do not feel like actively playing I support other people. Despite not running a full aurabot build, this build can help during boss fights to make up for the lost DPS.

It's part QoL and part necessity on longer boss fights. Without that extra life regen you'll have big issues when your Vaal Clarity has run out in those longer fights.

Ty.



For anyone that cares to look at build examples, here's a few that were posted in this thread.


And Mikado90 has built an 11-aura variant twice.

Currently leveling with this build with a group of friends. Level 32 (been playing solo last bit to catch up to them on this toon).


I was under the impression this could solo decent bit of content too? Hence why I chose this over a strictly auramancer, since I don't just wanna be an aurabot. Granted I would like to buff up my party majorly too, are the auras very useful or is it like 50/50 trying to get best of both worlds and ends up being subpar?

The build is strong enough in itself that you're going to be able to do most content when you've managed to get 7k+ ES. If you're using the 1h+shield setup you won't be able to do as much damage as with the +3 bow setup, but it'll be safer and easier to get a comfortable level of ES.

While you will not buff your party members as much as a pure aurabot, you're still buffing them more than enough as you'll be running 3-4 of the dmg auras. What differs between this build and a pure bot is 3-4 defensive auras and not running with the Influence body piece.

I respecced my bow SRS build to the LL United in Dream setup just before 3.0 hit, do you recommend switching back to bow but staying LL or switching back to CI?

Here's the gear for my current UiD setup:


I'm glad I managed to get a little playtime with the UiD setup but I've definitely noticed it's not as strong as before. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I'll go for the +3 bow setup myself later when I'm done with my current character, so that would be my recommendation. More damage and a safe and convenient way to proc EE on bosses is probably the major reasons for it.

Big fan of this guide. Started referencing it in 2.6. Great resource, I really enjoyed the in depth discussion and all the variants.

In 3.0, I went for an SRS Elemental LL Auramancer but Mana based. My items so far:



I usually switch in more Vaal Aura skills when mapping. I really miss the old commander of darkness!

Saving up for my 6 link shavs, then going to work on squeezing out more intelligence + ES + mana regen on rings and rares.

Quick question, sorry if its been answered already. Does sacrificial harvest work even when your minions are the ones killing the monster?

Well if our flasks charges refill when our SRS kills, i guess this jewel will works too i guess, if we couldn't refil flasks charges with SRS then we would surely not gain vaals souls via this jewel while SRSing.
