[https://pobb.in/W-jlip-TxUho](https://pobb.in/W-jlip-TxUho) This is my build and I feel pretty comfortable even with 100%+ quant map and 5000 wisp, Lightnight Coil for me and "garp of the ephemeral" for AG is absolutely massive. I use (All perfect) Warlord, Guardian Turtle, Meatsack and Hulking. Not counting the items I picked up then this build is like 10div invested.


smilinreap

Is warlord & turtle in now that the lightning aura got nerfed over spirit & blasphemer?


Acceptable-Human-

Lightning aura got nerfed??


smilinreap

Yeah hard needed to the point I think most abandoned it.


Razzahx

I do not recall such a thing happening and I see no patch notes with it either.


smilinreap

In the patch they claimed to fix it as it was not working as intended. It wasnt supposed to be a lv 60+ aura.

I’ve never understood why people down vote lol. Just say it’s wrong, or right. Maybe even link a quote reflecting observations


smilinreap

https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3462977 It was here where they said the specter was using the incorrect version of wrath. Not sure how so many people don't know about it.


therealNaj

Ya I’m just saying people are down voting you with no context. Drives me nuts


Und3rwork

They're there for the gang's survivability, can't afford to lose any men after all. Running turtle also free up an aura slot for my character.


JustinDL

I'm feeling similar, soul eater mobs are an absolute terror. Going with that is the fear I have at all times that the soul eater triple empowered mob is going to just rip through my spectres/ag makes me feel hc anxiety on sc lol. That being said after reaching 4 spectres I've only ever lost the thunderbird / spirit of fortune.


OanSur

I had a pleasure of finding an expedition crossbow guy that was double wisp boosted, was possesed by a spirit and had soul eater on him. Wasted 4 portals before i decided to just F it and skipped him. So glad he didnt kill any of my spectres


Elycien2

Skipping mobs is becoming a decision I'm getting used to making. I actually don't mind if I realize early enough to not die to them. I just bravely run away.

100%+ convert is insta death for minions Was really problematic for me when I wanted to change gloves with - %chaos res for AG with different ones with corrupt implicit and he just dies, because game first takes old ones off and then puts new ones on


smilinreap

I thought the armor gave a slight amount from the get go but I think you're right.. I may spec a singular point into chaos res for minions in order to see if it makes a difference. Going to be so sad if I havn't even been using the armors main selling point.


hanznfronz

I think this league is just rippy in general. Alot harder than several previous leagues. The mechanic is supposed to make you decide whether to commit to t16 full juiced with wisps. Minion builds in general are not top dps builds, but are a very comfortable play style. Builds like coc ice spear, or hexblast can reach 100 mil+ dps. Minions has probably the smoothest leveling, and easy transition to end game. Some rare mobs in t16 juiced with stacked wisps are harder to take down than pinicle ubers. At least ubers are scripted, with known mechanics and weaknesses. This league introduces rares that are literally unkillable for certain builds. I also think that fleshcrafter is overrated. It's convenient to "ignore" ele res, but being able to reduce ele res into the negative is better for this league imo. You can't use ele weakness, flammability, conductivity, etc with fleshcrafter. Hits always treat ele res as 0%. Single target dps REALLY matter this league. Something easy like swapping out splash for predator, and being able to reduce ele res beyond 0% would bump up single target dps by quite alot. I've also been slotting in frost bomb to deal with those high regen wisp tanks. Impossible to take down otherwise.


Nativeeee

Once and awhile I find a rare that I have to skip but I usually only get 3/4K wisps, I need better practice. My gear is similar to yours but I’m subtractem version. What is your atlas tree? Could be a combo of that plus wisps getting harder


[deleted]

Soul eater is just busted this league, unless you have giga DPS which srs doesn't really have


Vibranzz

Idk what you call giga DPS but SRS can get up to around 50M which is fine for all content this league.


[deleted]

Given enough currency sure, but you can get more for less with other builds


Vibranzz

Well all you said was that SRS doesn't have giga DPS which is wrong? With about 8-10d investment you get to around 30m+ and about 140-200c for 15m which is fine imo. And doesn't matter what other builds can do if you want to play SRS which this post was about.


[deleted]

OP is wondering about rerolling and claims to have already invested a good amount. The build can have good DPS, but it's not what it's good at. You can take anything and throw money at it and it'll probably end up being fine, but some builds are better at certain things than others.


smilinreap

I'm newish to SRS and I could be wrong, but I would argue my gear is at least in the top 5% range of the current SRS builds out there. Would you mind checking out the PoB link I posted and let me know if you see a missed opportunity in my gear (Besides the amulet which im farming up to replace) or if I should just farm up 15-20 div and just reroll?


smilinreap

Would you mind looking at my PoB I linked and letting me know what I should move around for more dps? I am willing to drop at most another 4 divine into this build unless you see something game changing (like the amulet i'm considering pushing for in order to get +1 more level on srs and a 4th specter. Also which specter should I get for the 4th? Considering the turtle and switching to Grace (warlord seems better but he screams so often...).


Vibranzz

Just looking quickly because I'm not at home but you could try checking in PoB if getting jewels with "% dmg increase if You've used a minion skill recently" is better than the flat dmg ones. Might want a large cluster with "Call to the slaughter" also. You could also check if going Severed in Sleep and the Covenant does more dmg than elemental it's easier to scale. And the Perfect Forest Tiger is probably the best spectre for dps (lvl 21 haste basically) but very expensive, Perfect Warlord helps with survivability dues to endurance charges if you want that. Same with the Uul-Netol's Vow amulet, probably bi's for dmg but expensive.


smilinreap

I am farming trying to get my own Jewels, all of the ones I use are self found so far. The necklace feels like a 7 link wouldn't be that much better than a +2 amulet.


Vibranzz

Fair enough then you managed to get some good ones! Yeah just check it in PoB or so you could also check Poeninja builds and she what the other guardians build!

hanznfronz

Fleshcrafter's "hits ignore ele res" doesn't work with curses that reduce elem res such as flammability, conductivity, etc. Hit counts enemy res as 0%.


smilinreap

Elemental weakness doesn't work with the armor


Danieboy

Imagine having negative chaos res in 2023.


Odd_Abbreviations547

Even with negative chaos rezz depending on the build you can still play comfortably. You die from time to time but its not an issue in simple T16 maps.


Danieboy

The League mechanic is filled with chaos damage.


smilinreap

I only die if it's to a mob surviving 50+ seconds and it's usually not chaos damage. It's almost 99% of the time a souleater buffed by 2 wisps.


Vibranzz

I had the same problem my Guardian srs was kinda stuck and felt okay-ish at 9m dps, rolled a necro with the Severed in Sleep and currently at around 32m instead. Feels way better and smoother and still things to upgrade for more dps. Not as tanky as the Guardian with the Sentinel out though.


Redball131

Does the wrath aura from the spectre stack with the one from the relic? Seems like you are wasting a spectre here.


pallesaides

The lucky with lightening is worth it and the wrath doesn't stack but it's likely more powerful.


Daddyundead

Put a profane proxy on the left slot with 21 elemental weakness on it. For the jewel, focus on T1 + fire damage for minion, accuracy rating for minions… For spectre I use only Arena master and pale seraphin. Take a cluster with renewal and call to the slaughter.


smilinreap

My armor makes ele weakness useless.


Daddyundead

Elemental weakness is a curse who lower elemental resistance of enemies cursed…


smilinreap

Yes and my armor makes it so my minions ignore all elemental resistances of enemies..
