👻3.20👻 Kay's Summoner💥SRS Bomber💀Poison SRS💀Melee SRS🕷️Spiders💀Skeleton Mages
" SRS is 100% fire conversion now, so Flammability. But I prefer Punishement because it works for all damage type, adds explosion damage and makes bosses die faster after 50% HP. Hatred is always the best. It gives the biggest damage bonus. I use it for melee SRS (DPS version). Flesh is better because you don't reduce chaos res. Don't need lifetap anymore! Carnage first then Host. Crit damage is very strong with minions, so I think you should use it. 🔰🌀✨ Video guides on youtube! https://www.youtube.com/KayGaming ✨🌀🔰

" Correct, I did that with scourge without issue. I built up some currency before making the switch as a 5 link Fleshcrafter is important to start with. |
|
"Had no idea this mod can roll on gloves, lol. For Sirus, shock + spinning lasers + ignite are also painful, I'm not sure a 40k hp AG can survive two Die beams in last phase. |
|
" Since SRS are now 100% fire, is hatred really better than using flammability + anger ? Never thought about Punishment though, sounds like a good alternative to ele weakness to increase both SRS fire dmg and hatred's ice dmg. You should add it on your build first page ^^ No offensive auras worth for SRS Bomber ? I see you're using only Tempest shield ?

" Thx for answering. I think i will go with Hatred with generosity and Defiler spectre with Ele weakness. Shame there is no spectre that casts punishment. Also i ll take both chieftans. TY vm. Also last question. How much accuracy do i need for my melee SRS build. I can't seem to find answer anywhere. People say just take what is on the talent tree, should be enough. But do you maybe know would like 2-3 ghastly jewels with like 300 minion acc be enough, or maybe Gravepact wheel on passive tree would be enough? Or should i not aim for any accuracy for minions?

" Actually, I think it's fine to start the build as soon as you get Dead Reckoning + Tabula. I just uploaded my skele mages build and I also included transition build (no fleshcrafter) :) 🔰🌀✨ Video guides on youtube! https://www.youtube.com/KayGaming ✨🌀🔰

" I think many people don't know? I noticed a lot of people still recommending Southbound... 40k life AG is a big risk! I always try to get close to 100k... 🔰🌀✨ Video guides on youtube! https://www.youtube.com/KayGaming ✨🌀🔰

" Anger is only good if you have a low level SRS. It only gives +155 damage vs Hatred 29% phys gained as cold. It's easy to get Level 25 SRS even with bad gear. 136 cold vs 131 fire (include SRS 15% added damage penalty) The Minion Instability explosion doesn't seem to scale from any aura, so just use defensive auras :) 🔰🌀✨ Video guides on youtube! https://www.youtube.com/KayGaming ✨🌀🔰

" Accuracy is only a problem for low level minions, but you can get level 25 SRS with bad gear (21 SRS, +2 unnatural strength, +1 fire wand, +1 fire shield). It will have enough accuracy :) I will update melee SRS guide tomorrow :) 🔰🌀✨ Video guides on youtube! https://www.youtube.com/KayGaming ✨🌀🔰
