I would recommend the Pure-DPS SRS as the gearing process on that one is easier. You don't technically need any of the uniques, they just help the build come together smoother. The whole thing can be done in rares if need be. You can also customize it and add in zombies or other minions to find out what you like.

This (Unstable SRS) build has a slightly higher start-up cost and deals damage in a different way. It is also unfriendly to other minion types, as the point of the main jewel that makes it work is all minions will take more damage. If you want to try it after leveling the other one, it is easy to respec some of the points.

What do you think about combustion vs elemental focus? It sims higher per explosion (and the ignite damage is not too shabby on top, surprisingly) provided the mob is ignited already. On trash it probably won't affect anything since they'll die instantly anyhow, but ignite should always be up with the gem on a boss with the amount of hits you're doing.

Secondly, I've only ever tried a MI build with skeletons and Earendel's. How is the clear speed using concentrated effect? Does it noticeably change anything? It's rather hard to see how big the MI explosion is in the first place.

Do you prefer the jewel + Tavukai over Tav + Infernal Legion? No doubt that conc effect is a huge boost over Legion.

With the U-Elder fight it was more consistent to put 100% into pop damage with no other thoughts to secondary conditionals. They phased often, teleported, and a great deal of the SRS would die to arena attrition. Certainly its not the main fight anymore, and other things may be an option where before it didn't seem like one.

Clear speed is slow for this one until you have Tavukai + Fortress Jewel. The lowered detonations really help. Also, it feels better the most cast speed you are able to wiggle in.

I went this direction with the build because everyone had sort of done it the other way, and I just thought it was a neat idea to look at it in terms of detonations per second and push the build with that in mind.

Anyone playing SRS or skelly instability this patch? How's it holding up against the high end Delirium stuff? I played an exploding SRS last league, and it was great. It's my backup for if AW never feels great later on.
This build works good in delirium league?

I think it works as far as being tough enough, but clear has always been a problem for Popcorn builds. I think this league mechanic will be okay if you push for Awakened Unleash and grab the extra seals on gear and other sources. Echo is still more consistent for bosses.
