👻3.20👻 Kay's Summoner💥SRS Bomber💀Poison SRS💀Melee SRS🕷️Spiders💀Skeleton Mages

Some preliminary feedback: I am doing SRS Bomber, I just finished the campaign and it was pretty smooth so far, not super powerful like some other starter builds but no problems at all. Then I got the Tavukai and a 5L armor and these made the build really shine. The rest of my gear is still random campaign stuff and I don't have a spectre at all yet, but early maps are super easy.

I have played SRS before but not Minion Instability, and I really like the bomber version better. Unleash + the damage coming from the explosions makes it so you can cast and move on, as opposed to regular SRS that plays more like channeling and requires you yo stay still a lot more. So bomber feels a lot better, at least in early mapping so far. This may change against tougher enemies, but also my current gear is completely trash and I am level 71.

Quick question, how do we use Bone Armor and Molten Shell? Just use whichever is better with our gear?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think we're taking Bone Armour just because of the "minion life" mod, and Molten Shell is just better compare to other guard skills.

Yes but Molten Shell is based off your armor value so it takes a while before you gear up to the point where it becomes better than Bone Armor.

Bone Armor, you have access to it from early on in the campaign and it offers a good chunk of protection into early mapping. It also doesn't take up a gem slot that you might not yet have early in the game.

In hindsight, the answer to my question was obvious.

I was in a big rush to finish the guide before league start so some of the info was left out!! Sorry.

You are right! Supposed to use Bone Armour from Act 7. At the same time, level up Molten Shell until it's ready to take over. (and as Elaine said it's 20% more life > damage)

You can also try the new red covenant. 240% increased damage, butreduces max SRS to 5. Unleash is 5 anyway...



If you invest into the build you can get big numbers :) I'll make the guide soon.

necro build: 374,4k dps per srs
guardian build: 501,6k dps per srs

max dps necro build with: ~7,48m dps with 20srs
max dps guardian build with: ~7,5m dps with 15srs

max dps guardian build + duration nodes: ~10m dps with 20srs

so pretty much 33% more dmg for 3 travel points and 3-4 points into duration.

i would say that is kinda mandatory if you cant get duration somewhere else(if so enlighten me pls)

If you are fighting bosses the duration isn't important because you can use gloves or boots to refresh duration.

Overall, for mapping, I chose Guardian because SRS has +68% ms vs Necro. (38% ms from flesh offering, 20% + 20% from ascendancy vs 10% from mindless aggression). So guardian has less SRS at one time but they do more damage each and move very fast. I think it makes up for shorter duration.

Also, the SRSx2 enchant will double Unleash. It's 24% chance now, so not too bad.

The number jumped up afer patch btw. Necro 705 vs Guardian 825.
(Necro 705 is Unnatural strength. You can get 735 with Plaguebringer, but need 1 corpse. desecrate makes 5 but offering eats 5 so you need divergent desecrate to get +1 but it's only 60% chance)

Yea, I'm in yellow maps now without problems. (5L + Amu)
The SRS Bomber is realy fun!
Can't wait to update the gear to the endgame version!
Hopefully the video is ready soon :)

Thx for the great work!

I dont know if it's just me but the Skeleton Mages is having problems in the gearing section with showing the wrong items . looks like it is showing mostly the srs items. while this doesnt affect pob. is this possible to fix Kay?

I broke the guide when I was updating it :(

I'll try to fix it.

I'm leveling SRS Guardian and having a blast (besides the bad loot). Can't wait for the end game Guardian build. Thanks for the build and hard work Kay.

For guardian can I switch over to SRS bomber? I am loving the SRS league start so far and absolutely cruising through campaign without issues. Gear is mostly just trash but doing great. Would love to know if I can do SRS bomber though or just straight srs is better to go with via Guardian?

Thank you for your amazing guides!
