First time ive played a minion build, it's interesting, bit slow - but that's just my fault for playing fast builds.
Just wondering how you benefit from the elemental equilibrium?
Cheers!

Started playing this after having some heavy urge to play SRS. Haven't played it since breach league and really enjoyed it back then.

I did end up crafting the staff and my only advice to people is to just go the Essence spam route. After burning through over 3k orbs I just could not for the life of me hit the +2 fire and fort combo. +2 fire is actually very common, fort though is ultra rare it seems. In my entire spam session I only hit fort 2x but never the combo.

Gave up and did essence spam and hit it in 3. Save the money, you don't need the highest version just the one below it and they are 3-4c each.

About to hit maps and have enjoyed the build a lot so far. I am semi concerned about survivability but if what you say is true and we have that much mitigation with almost 8k ehp should be good. I feel one of the big issues with survival people are running into is they are most likely focusing on one or the other life / ES. You really want at minimum ES bases + good life rolls on every piece you can. Bonus points goes to additional ES rolled on it while still balancing res. You also need chaos res. If you can get 20%+ chaos res and do the afformentioned I really feel this build can get to some very high survival. I'm looking forward to making it work well as I love SRS and feel that unleash helps solve a lot of the issues I felt with old SRS, especially if you die with lots of mobs on screen where it can feel impossible to recover from it. Or even high end bosses burning your SRS and never getting enough up to do damage.

Thanx for information! Will remove the alt spam advice then. Seems like a complete waste of time after all.

I still think it's a valid route but reading the comments a lot of people seem to want to do the "cheap as possible option" in which case I 100% recommend just doing essences.

For min/max you def want to do the alt to hit either fortify or +2 and then just straight regal pray. If this works you can multimod it and add in minion damage + minion att speed + w/e to min/max it fully. Just out of the multitude of weapons I've crafted this one just refused to hit the combo haha.


I would maybe add a section (unless I completely glazed over it?) about what stats on jewels to search for. People saying you wont get anything useful under 1ex are insane.

I picked up 5 jewels with the following combo for 1-3c each
+life
+es
Minion attack speed 5%-6%.

I did the above combo to get a little extra damage but a lot more survival with em all socketed. The above combo removes the possibility to get adds # to # damage to attacks for minions on jewels but you can still search for % increased damage when you have summoned recently. These are around 20-30c each.

Otherwise you'll need to search just ES or life for adds.

No one is obliged to follow the build. The owner of the guide did it and deserves respect, we owe respect to people who creates guides, they are saving us. It was very good intention and everything.

But be warned: If you do not spend MUCH, but MUCH more than "1 ex", you will not move to the endgame or even high tier maps.

I'm all for respect and giving props to those who take the time to make a guide for others to follow. What I think is wrong in this guide is how disingenuous and poorly put together it is. It was never done on a legitimate 1ex budget and there's no way he leveled it without multiple deaths because it's so squishy.
