3.23 SRS Minion Instability Necro | Max Block - 100M | League Start / Uber Ready

When I started making builds, I know I wanted first and foremost to have my builds be approachable, buildable and affordable, with the option of high investment later if the user wanted. In line with that philosophy, this build uses only a single medium cluster and that's it. Very basic passive skill tree. Our gear are pure red pieces and/or hybrid red blue for ease of gem use. Our gear is fracture crafted for the most part, making essence spamming an easy and straight forward process. The progression is quite smooth overall and the beginning gear is cheap. Perfect for a new budding POE player. I really love squeezing every bit of power out of my base passive skill tree as I can.

This builds damage is solely based on the minion instability keystone (Minions Explode when reduced to Low Life, dealing 33% of their Life as Fire Damage to surrounding Enemies). Our objective is to reduce the life of our SRS to low life so they explode, dealing massive amounts of damage. This is achieved through the Tavukai amulet and the infernal legion support gem. Since MI's damage is based on the life of said minion, we stack a ton of more/increased minion life, generic minion damage and minion crit multi. SRS of Enormity hits ALWAYS crit and since MI count as a "hit", it too also crits. And since MI always crits, our hits ALWAYS ignite.

Our defense is armor and block based, with high life, life recoup and life regen. The main focus of our defense is block and achieved through the Necro ascendency "Mistress of Sacrifice" which allows our bone offering to affect us as well at 50% of its value, bringing our block to a comfy 73/75. This offering has 100% uptime so you will always be at max block, so long as you have the trigger mod on your wand.

Video build guide - Coming soon, need to re-do with all the changes

This build can do 100% Deli Maps but I think 80% is more efficient personally. I also could not get footage of this cause it lags me OBS like crazy!

The league start POB has all the tips and guidance in its notes section so I will just post that below...

--- My typical early 3 link setup is SRS - Infernal Legion - Combustion

My typical 4 link is SRS - Predator - Minion Life - Infernal Legion
--- Bandits KILL ALL

--- This build is very straight forward, always keep a mana flask handy until you get eldrich battery later on down the line. That passive alone is worth its weight in gold on this build.

--- Unfort. this build has a few buttons. I prefer flame dash to be on space bar, bone offering to be on right click, curse on W and pred on Q. You do you in terms of key binds but that's my setup and I really love it.

--- Feel free to use flesh offering in lieu of bone until you pick up your last ascendency point.

--- This builds scales minion life, therefore we cannot use minion damage support gem. Keep that in mind.

--- Keep desecrate at level 1.


--- ACENDENCY CHOICES ---

I like to go commander for the early resistance, then moving down into bone barrier for a guard skill and minion life. I save Mistress of Sacrifice for our uber. If youd like to be more tank, save Bone Barrier node for uber.

--- You can either farm lab on league start for your Trans SRS Gem or buy one later in the acts. Your choice.

--- Here are the gems you will need from the optional library quest in Act 3. - Feeding Frenzy Support - 1 Orb of Chance
- Elemental Army Support - 1 Orb of Chance


Gearing

--- The mods we are looking for on gear, as a BASELINE are as follows...

- Max Life
- Resist (chaos last)
- Minion Damage / Minion Life
- Some ES for eldrich battery
- Movement Speed (boots)
- Life Regen

Most of your gear early on will either be ES bases or hybrid ES/Armor. Eventually when I have the currency, I prefer to go full armor bases to help increase your phys. dmg. reduction. Hybrid has its place to and if you find one with good mods, absolutely use it.

--- Alt Currency mods like eldrich/searing mods can be whatever youd like, generic max res, minion life / damage, damage or defense mods. I don't really concern myself with those mods until I get my end game pieces and can really hone in on the mods I want to min/max.

--- Socket pressure is a bit tight and coloring should be very very straight forward and easy. We use mainly blue gems with the occasional red and green gems.

--- Raw stat requirements arent too too bad. If you want evasion/armor bases for Spell suppression, then dex will be harder to get. I tend to run Armor/ES bases for easy gem coloring while leveling. Grab dex on the tree and/or rings and amulets if you need more.

--- Be on the look out for minion wand bases! And or a minion wand with +1 to level of all minion skill gems. These are HUGE for leveling.


Mapping

--- Every mod is pretty much fair game but beware, crit/crit multi mods, mods that reduce your resistance, additional proj./chain, and reduced block chance can be EXTREMLY rippy until you get powerful enough to just one most everything. Run those mods with high caution early on. Also beware of no regen mods and mods that reduce your ES regen as that makes summoning SRS a bit of a pain in the butt. It can be done but i skip them cause, no thank you.
