[3.11] Brittleknee’s SRS Necromancer - Reliable, Beginner-Friendly. All content. Harvest Ready!

Hey brittleknee,
I'm a total noob using your guide, I just noticed an error in the leveling guide in Act 1:

"If you were fortunate enough to get your B=B=R link on a scepter or wand, don’t forget to do the +1 Fire Gems recipe by combining your wand/scepter (must be magic rarity), a transmutation orb, and a ruby ring (may be normal quality)."

The recipe needs an alteration orb not transmutation. It confused me for a while until I figure this out.

Cheers

You are quite right! I will amend this right away, thank you.

I notice that the PoB has a +1 corrupted 6-link The Covenant: do you have advice about how to source this item (which seems *MUCH* harder to obtain than anything else in the build)? Currently uncorrupted 6-links are selling for 2ex, so it seems like a +1 corrupted version will require about 100ex investment?

Corrupted 6L will not be 100ex and it is certainly not required. I tend to just go 'all-in' when playing SRS because I love how ridiculous the damage feels on a +1. It also shows the top-end capabilities of the build. I paid 12ex for one +1 Covenant. With double corruptions now core, single corruptions are less valued and thus, cheaper. Actually, I should warn that I'm speaking in League pricing. I can't speak for how much it would be on Standard.

I can put together a more moderate PoB if you would prefer that, but you can fairly consistently hit 2-3M Boss DPS without the +1, which is plenty!

I closed the PoB the moment I saw how hard you tried to reach 4.5m DPS. What is the deal with that really? Why can't you just post a realistic PoB?

Anyways, who am i to judge.

Yes, there are many builds out there that can do far more DPS with less investment.

I disagree that the PoB is gratuitous. I achieved that in a league. I've also geared to that same level (or higher) for three separate leagues including one SRS Necro where I played with a +1 Corrupted Skin of the Loyal and ran extra Auras and used Enlightens. Needless to say, I omitted that PoB in the recent update. I would say that one at 7.8M was gratuitous.

If you're passionate about a skill, you invest in it because you enjoy it.

What is unrealistic about the PoB? The only unrealistic part that jumps out at me is the +1 corrupted Covenant. Some of the jewels are also quite pricey as well (life + 2 damage mods) but they are not totally unrealistic (similar jewels are available on poe.trade for an ex or two).

Havent played SRS in a while but what has happened to the classic +3 Staff (or bow)?

Vagan's Blood Magic craft for staves went legacy, removing one of the key perks of this approach. Moreover it is no longer possible to deterministically craft a +3 staff.
