What's up my exiles!?
This is my official thread for my "Tanky Beginners SRS Guide". In this thread I will cover the most basic requirements of the build. To get a more detailed explanation on how the build works and needs to be set up, check out the link to my video-guide above.

This build is very strong compared to the amount of currency you have to invest into it. SRS does very well with just a 5-linked 2+ firestaff. That doesn't mean that SRS doesn't benefit from getting 6-linked or specific unique items, it does. A lot actually, but if you can't afford that yet, don't despair a 5-linked rare staff will carry you until you can.



First of all, what is this build and who is it suited for?

1. This build is designed for beginners and veterans alike. It is fairly cheap, simple and effective.

2. Players who seek a build that is able to effectively destroy bosses and farm end-game maps.

3. Caster/Summoner Fans.

4. A build that is both viable for hardcore as well as softcore.

5. People who prefer a build that has a video-guide linked to it.

The above information serves as a rough guideline to get you started with the build. I recommend watching my video-guide, especially if you are new to the game. In the video I will explain some of the skills and how they work and how you should spend your skill points while leveling.

2.1 Video Guide (old 2.0 video, but still viable): Path of Exile 2.1: SRS/Summon Raging Spirits Build Turbo Guide [Atziri & HC/SC viable]

Feel free to ask me any questions regarding the build, but please do me the favor of watching the video first. It should explain a lot of the common questions you might have :)

Anyway, thank you for reading guys. I'll see you for my next beginners guide!

Stay safe!

Kind Regards

Used ur build during all warband league as an annex MFer caracter, and it worked very well with 0 uniques except the flask who cost me 1 ex. Others pieces are few chaos each. Self founded the shield.
400 IIR with flask. Lots of good drops since patch ;) thx for sharing.

Didn't found a pledge, could invest on a better chest but no rly need. Very effective, thx for sharing :).

Pas ici pour rendre service ;).
Un jeu avec autant de qualités que de défauts, malheureusement ignorés et soutenus par une marée de supporters nolifes sans aucune objectivité.

hey nerd. again a really nice guide :)

i have one question:

is the x% increased minion damage mod of catarina worth enchanting on gloves or is another mod e.g. armor better?

greetings
Could this build work as a Witch?

Typos marked in bold.

Passive skill tree section:
"If they for some the skill-trees wont open then check the video for skill-tree progression.[ /b]"

That's all I could spot. Other than that you say jewel %life range is 6-7%, it actually is 5-7%.

E: had to tweak the [/b], obviously can't mark that in bold.

If you can craft it on gloves then yes absolutely, but as far as I am aware this is not something that is available for that armor type? But if it is, then yes by all means =)

Thank you!

Optimally no, sorry. If you really want to you can pass through the spell damage/cast speed or the energy shield/mana route - but it is not optimal :)
