About the build: Melee SRS Necromancer
ABOUT  This build is a direct upgrade from my league starter, where you say goodbye to the minion army and focus on scaling the raging spirits for fast map clearing as well as boss killing power. The build is easy to play with good survivability and a medium overall cost, depending on the market.  SRS The Summoned Raging Spirits are aggressive flying minions that attack any nearby enemies and will naturally spread out and hunt for enemies until their duration runs out. They are also good for bossing, as they do not body block each other like other melee minions, and will completely surround any boss. To improve quality of life, unleash is used to summon multiple raging spirits in a single cast, and Replica Bones of Ullr lets them refresh their duration when they hit a boss. SUPPORT MINIONS The build also uses the following support minions: • 1 carnage chieftain spectres for frenzy changes, • 1 host chieftain spectres for power charges, • 1 tukohama's vanguard to reduce enemies' fire res, • 1 xoph's favoured to gain additional fire damage, • 1 animate guardian with Kingmaker. SURVIVABILITY For survivability, the build stacks armour to reduce physical damage and block chance to avoid attacks and spells. There is also life recovery when you block, as well as fortify from the Animate Guardian.

HELMET The helmet is for your support minions, so I recommend +2 or +3 to minion gem level. You can also try to get enemies take increased elemental or fire damage. Enchant: SRS Damage If you’re worried about your AG dying, swap combustion to minion life. You can check my Animate Guardian guide for details on his equipment. BODY The body armour should have +2 to SRS. For example: a rare armour with +1 int and +1 active, or a unique with a +2 duration corruption. For endgame bosses, swap Melee Splash to Multistrike for more damage. GLOVES The gloves are Vixen’s Entrapment to get a second curse. Enchant: Reflection/Light/Grave The gloves auto-cast Assassin’s Mark, when you self-cast Punishment, which is socketed in the shield. BOOTS For the boots, I recommend Replica Bone of Ullr, which lets the SRS refresh their uptime in boss fights. Enchant: Life regen or Movement speed WEAPON For the wand, the important mods are: +1 to minions and spells. You can also get minion damage and cast speed. It also needs an open suffix to craft trigger. Keep desecrate and lifetap at level 1! SHIELD For your shield, the important mod is ‘recover life when you block’. And try to get extra block chance. We just need Covered in Ash, so keep Infernal Cry at level 1. AMULET For the amulet, the important mods are: +1 to fire skills and +1 to intelligence gems. Anoint your amulet with Death Attunement to get an extra spectre. RINGS Use the rings to stack life, resistances and dex if you need it. BELT Use a darkness enthroned to socket more ghastly eye jewels. RECOMMENDED FLASKS Life: Instant Recovery when on Low Life + Bleed removal Prefix: Startled, Frightened, Alarmed, Terrified, Panicked Suffix: of Sealing, of Alleviation, of Allaying, of Assuaging Utility flasks: Reduced charges or Increased duration Prefix: Apprentice's, Scholar's, Practitioner's, Brewer's, Chemist's Prefix: Investigator's, Analyst's, Examiner's, Clinician's, Experimenter's Basalt: extra armour Quicksilver: extra speed Quartz: remove freeze/chill Rumi's Concoction (extra block) . --- ---   >>> Watch 3.19 SRS Guardian League Starter build guide video on YouTube <<< About the Build

Gear, Gems Links & Flasks
GENERAL Here is an overview of the gear, including gems, links and examples. Overall, the priority is to get the highest life mod on all items. You can self-craft this using Essence of Greed. Also make sure you have 75% elemental resistance, and positive chaos resistance. Lastly, I recommend getting gear that has armour and energy shield. This will make colouring the sockets much easier because almost every gem is red or blue. HELMET For the helmet, I recommend reservation efficiency and cast speed. You can also try to get +2 to all minion gems. The gems are: Raise Spectre, Carrion Golem, Meat Shield and Increased Duration. There are several support spectres that you can use: During the story acts, I recommend the Carnage Chieftain from Act 2. The frenzy charges will give a boost to the SRS’s damage as well as your cast speed. If you prefer more survivability, you can try the Undying Evangelist from Act 3. The proximity shield blocks all hits from outside the shield. You can get a big damage boost from Xoph’s Favoured and Loyal when you encounter a breach or use a breachstone. (Xoph is the fire one). Xoph’s Favoured gives a 20% damage buff, and Xoph’s Loyal makes enemies take 20% increased damage. BODY For the body armour, I recommend chance to block spells and increased offering effect. Use the crafting bench to add ‘increased maximum life and mana’. The gems are: Summon Raging Spirit, Unleash, Minion Damage, Predator, Melee Splash and Fire Penetration. You can swap Melee Splash to Multistrike if you need more single target DPS. GLOVES For the gloves, I recommend fire exposure and increased minion damage. You can craft Minion Damage with an Essence of Fear. The gems are: Determination, Tempest Shield and Flammability. The 4th socket is free in the league starter. BOOTS For the boots, I recommend avoid being poisoned and Scorched Ground. The gems are: Anger, Generosity, Convocation and Flame Dash. WEAPON You can use an Essence of Fear to craft your starting wand. Then upgrade to a wand with: +1 to all spells or +1 to minion spells. The gems: Desecrate, Flesh Offering and Life Tap. The special craft “trigger a socketed spell” will auto-cast the socketed gems. You can get it from unveiling weapons from Syndicate encounters. SHIELD For your shield, look for +1 to all Fire Spells or +1 to minions. The gems are: Cast when Damage Taken linked to Frost Wall. And unlinked Molten Shell. I keep my Cast when Damage Taken at level 4 and Frost Wall at level 12. AMULET & RINGS Use your amulet and rings to get as much life and resistance as possible. You will also need to craft “Non-Channelling Skills have -7 to Total Mana Cost”. And anoint your amulet with Arcane Guardian for extra spell block. BELT For the belt, use a good leather belt or a stygian vise with a ghastly eye jewel. RECOMMENDED FLASKS For the flasks, I like to use: • Life with bleed immunity, • Basalt with extra armour, • Quicksilver, • Quartz with burning removal, • Granite with poison immunity. .  >>> Watch 3.19 SRS Bomber Necromancer build guide video on YouTube <<< About the Build
SRS Bomber / Popcorn SRS
ABOUT This is a fun minion build that kills with satisfying pops. The focus is on survivability and clearing large packs of monsters. The main downside of the build is the delay between casting and doing damage. This guide is for a league starter that will get you through the story and into early mapping. You can even do red tier mapping with low cost gear. However, you will need one unique item for maximum efficiency, but the build will still work without it. MINION INSTABILITY The SRS Bomber is built around Minion Instability, which makes minions explode when they reach low life. We can scale the explosion with both minion life and damage. The Tavukai unique amulet deals damage over time to the SRS. So, after a few seconds, they will trigger Minion Instability. Gearing

The gems are: Flammability, Blasphemy, Increased Area of Effect and Tempest Shield. If you want more damage, you can replace Blasphemy with Skitterbots, but you’ll need to self-cast Flammability.

The Animate Guardian is completely optional and can be replace with zombies. WEAPON Look for a want with minion damage or +1 to all spells or +1 to minion spells. The gems: Desecrate, Flesh Offering and Life Tap. SHIELD For your shield, look for +1 to all Fire Spells or +1 to minion gems. The gems are: Molten Shell, Flame Dash and Convocation. Use Convocation to reposition your support minion if they are in danger. AMULET For maximum efficiency, you need the Tavukai unique amulet. Before you get it, you can use any amulet, and replace Elemental Army with Infernal Legion in your SRS links. Anoint the amulet with Testudo for extra attack block.

Upgrading after League Start
As you get more currency during the league and progress into the endgame, I highly recommend upgrading to one of my endgame builds. Each build has build defining uniques that might be very expensive!

great work Kay! :)
I started the league with your life version pure spectres with syndicate operatives, later on I switched to the aura stacker energy shield version for more tankiness and damage with a good investment. any plans about making a ES version guide? | |

Hi, I love your pure spectres build. It's been a lot of fun this league!
I have a question. If I upgrade to a 7L helmet, what skills should I be using in my 6-link? | |
