Guess for now just 6l armor +2 minion helm +1 shield etc If im going to just 6l SRS in armor what gems do you suggest to use? Before you buy those don't forget to buy a lvl 21 SRS gem! That is +3 gems compared to your lvl 18 gem. It's like 25-30c (you don't need quality on it). Before you start investing in +gem gear make sure you have proper armour, gloves, boots and rings. You don't have life on gloves or boots now (or movement speed). And you're missing a suffix craft on the belt. The belt itself is totally fine though! An example: I used a cheap +1 wand with a little minion damage and trigger craft. No minion life at all. Was looking for a +2 wand/sceptre (fire+all, fire+minion or minion+all) and a +1 all with 35% minion damage and 37% minion life was better than a pure +2 (without damage/life) for me. 3 Divine orbs for the +2 wand and like 50c for my sceptre. Regarding the gems there's nothing wrong with your SRS-setup (other than getting a 21 SRS gem) and that you have a lvl 11 elemental focus in there. I really dislike the predator playstyle so I use an Awakened fire pen instead (about 20c). You do however have Elemental focus linked to Tempest shield for some reason. If I'm not mistaken you should be able to drop that gem (lvl 18 elemental focus is higher than the one in the srs-setup) and get unbound ailments for your Skitterbots instead. And you really need to get Uber lab done so you get Mistress of sacrifice. Nothing wrong with the trigger setup but it doesn't affect you at all. Btw, how do you curse? Is that in your Animate Guardian setup? Since you have the extra pen on cursed enemies for minions allocated. I don't curse yet. Planning to get a ring with it tonight as one of my first buys. I just got a tabula last night and went from 4 to 6l hence why im still leveling the elemental focus. Actually not using Animate Guardian but will probably set him up today/tomorrow. Was just leveling the gem first so he'd have a nice chunk of life when I summon him. I was thinking about using awakened fire penetration as well, doesn't look to pricy, and it would help clear out every enemy vs just bosses. Heh did just notice elemental focus in my boots.... thought i was leveling one lol. I'll have to move that. I've been using crap scavenged gear mostly and am JUST starting to upgrade ALL my gear. I'm going to be running uber lab once i finish upgrading gear tonight. Its my top priority. Gloves/Boots/and a curse ring will probably be my first buys. I did snag a last night so i'm ready to start using it in a few more levels.

I am new to POE, I like to know that if I don't have the tavukai amulet, should I get the minion instability keystone? and where is the best place to farm tavukai in ssf?	Posted by Dalkiel3998#8375 on Aug 24, 2022, 5:09:31 PM Quote this Post

It can still work with the Infernal Legion Support gem. Tavukai just relieves it and allowing us to add another support to SRS. In SSF you either spam Orb of Chance on a Coral Amulet or complete all of the personal NPC Heist contracts except for Tibbs or Huck (Huck's second quest in specific). Find smuggler stash and grab either one of their quest, run it, open the chests, fail it, rinse repeat. This is because chests in Brute Force contracts gives either Unique, Fossil or Weapon.

I just used a rare boots with life/movement, lab enchant regen % life and "drop scorched ground when moving" implicit. Enchant is optional but without it should costs you 1-3c, at most 5.

I never ever played Summoner, so I have one question, what gear should I give my animate guardian?	Posted by Nickname12812#0711 on Aug 25, 2022, 3:49:26 AM Quote this Post
Would Legacy of Fury Wyrmscale Boots work for Animate golem? More expensive option for later in game, but curious if he would scorch every enemy around him, and then when they die chance to also burn enemies around them Also how would Gruthkul's pelt work with that 10% life regen a second Last edited by Brian9824#5074 on Aug 25, 2022, 8:13:26 AM	Posted by Brian9824#5074 on Aug 25, 2022, 8:12:16 AM Quote this Post
Ended up just making my Animate Guardian with a belly of the beast for now. Quite tanky on my current maps. Think im going to play around with skills a bit and see if i can squeeze in determination and take some mana reservation nodes to help make it a bit more tanky tonight.
