wait 2.5 before doing a build that might get nerfed (poison on death)

Malevolent_Rage, Life BM SRS here.

I too am theory-crafting a CI version; and I too appreciate Firebrand stepping in here with some solid advice XD. However, I am leaning more to the Bow/Rearguard side of the house...mainly because I like having 2 6l's, as well as my SRS sitting in a +3 contraption hehehe.

Espada, a couple of comments for ya;

1) Take a look at demigodking102 profile; he keeps his profile open. Character is AnnoyingWaffles. Perhaps there is something there that gives you an idea.

2) Why are you using 2x Dream Fragments? Since you are on Essence, get some high ilvl rings and throw some Fears on them. Such as

Drop 1 DF for something else.

Or perhaps some other items such as


Good luck and see ya in the Arena :)




tyvm , now im using these in essence


ive seen AnnoyingWaffles skill tree and i have some doubts now lol , so life minion nodes are better than minion damage nodes in pvp? im using '' Minion instability '' too so i have this doubt , i can easy kill life base builds but some ES guys are pretty tanky and minion instability could help? he skip '' skill effect duration '' nodes too maybe i must do the same? what do you recommend about skill tree?

hello I am apotoothem. max block srs hp base

all I can say about srs is not very good for pvp because we are countered by temporal chain. :(
the best counter for SRS is herald of ash + aoe gem and good dps.

to counter that you need very high minion speed and minion life would help you a bit too, since ash deals overkill damage around the area.

you can't counter this however to full extent yet you may be able to get better vs ash prolif damage by maximizing these aspects of your build.

1.)with max block+srs you have a good chance to kill a god tier dps range enemy in the absence of reduce block gem even with herald of ash.
2.)with max block+srs against an enemy with blasphemy+temporal chain, impossible to kill.

you don't : (

2.)with max block+srs against an enemy with blasphemy+temporal chain, impossible to kill.

that's also true.

in this case, you should be totally using lightning warp enchantment and 4l warp setup. it wouldn't make a BIG difference but with good micro you can do better than before for sure.

there is a big chance to kill a god tier dps range enemy without reduce block gem with that shield. Just whirl blade with advancing fortress to close the gap and spam srs.
"god tier" and without BCR that's the problem in your sentence there. they can't be in the same sentence together, it's logically wrong.

even without BCR LA and fireball can breach through block let's say one projectile and that would be most of the time enough.
