[3.24] SRS Bomber aka Popcorn SRS | League Start to Endgame | All Content

Still planning to league start this. Patch notes and Balance Manifesto were brutal, but considering huge nerfs across the board, most minion builds like this one ended up relatively less gutten that most other meta builds.

It's been two leagues since I play this build, I love it !

Got 40/40 chall & lvl100 (this one on Ritual league) pretty easy.

I'm going to stick with you even with the nerfs lol :).

PoB just updated. I used the PoB linked on the OP and:

Total DPS went from 5.42M to 2.68M

Average Damage went from 3.49M to 1.72M

So basically halved. Seems horrible, but a lot of other builds are losing more.

Anyone think there is a potential to integrate Summon Reaper into this build and have the Reaper feed on some of the raging spirits for its consume buff?

I saw that too, but thats the 3.14 Version of the Build and both main and offhand had the Minion Wand selected. I must have accidently changed it during one of the updates of the Build, sorry for that.

The actual after the update is 1.91M Total and 1.23M Average.
Sadly I can't tell what the DPS before update was when you had the shield selceted as offhand.
But I assume, that the loss should be about the same 40%-50%

For 3.15 I adjusted a few things and currently get ~2.29M Total and 1.48M Average.

With Signal Prey active we get 2.59M Total and 1.67M Average.

Still quite a hit. But thinking back to the beginning of 3.14 or 3.13 the build was sitting at ~1M and felt fine.
So I'm confident that the damage wont be a real issue here.


Looking at our Defences:
Block is still fine, even with the nerfed Rumi's

Ailment Immunity is a bit harder. To get to 100% we need at least one synthesized item with 25% as implizit. (likely going to be Gloves)

Mana Sustian looks fina, as long as you have some on the Rings.
With a Helmet that has +3 to Levels, Conc effect, Minion Life and Hypothermia, casting SRS is about 101 Mana.
We have a cast Rate of ~2.76 thats ~280 Mana spent per second when spamming SRS.
With some Regen on the Rings, the Lab Enchant and some Regen from the Tree we schould be hitting ~320 Mana per Second, which leaves some Room for the triggered Spells

Sadly I don't think we can add her, since she reduces the maximum Life of other Minions by 20%.
I don't think that she will give us a 20%+ Damage gain, since we are not realy scaling her DPS.

3.15 Guide Update is out!

Guide Version: 4.0 (22.07.2021)

-- Adjusted Gear, Gems and Tree for 3.15
-- Redoing Leveling Section of the Guide (still WiP, Feedback welcome!)

Thanks for updates. I will definitely use it as a league starter. Hope it will be fine. I'm most worried about mana cost increases though

I like this build lasts leagues, thanks for update work!!

Is very friendly SSF and HC

Have you considered adding a holy flame totem + summon phantasms 2 link?

I tried that with Kays levelling guide and it felt super cozy

Never tried that, might give it a spin.
Thanks for the Tip!
