Summon Raging Spirit no longer has Minions gain 15% less Added Damage. Now has Minions deal 0% more Damage at gem level 1, up to 38% more Damage at gem level 20 (previously 0%).
True I guess it was the league before this one.
And yeah I guess it was sleeper strong. Even without poison, RaizQT got some decent dmg even with it with a HC tree.

Ah dang, that is one more buff to the poison variant.
Oh and Evo, can you invite me to the TL guild?

Just started a flicker slayer and so far, it's just ok... hopefully it go beyond that. But i had about 15div to spare so I wanted to try something fun 
Still have my Int stack wonder if I need to farm a little bit. that guy is a beast

is the setup still slow with unleash + mapping gem swap? and vaal haste + divine blessing haste? the videos make it look decent enough but idk. definitely worse than tier 1 builds
i meant QoL relative to other minion builds in that you don't need any setup clunk (spectres), dont rly need to worry about minions dying, and your AG has a higher chance of living because of the 5% recover on minion death node

Hey Evo, my IGN atm. is NoDefenseJustFreeze. Thank you! 
I run with Unleash in a 5L Dendrobate. I got Vaal Haste with Divine Blessing, feeding frenzy setup, AG. I mean, the damage is fine (which can be seen on bosses) but the clear is lacking. Especially when things get very crowded it feels like a slog. Harbinger, Beyond, Rituals, Shrines and to a lesser extend Expedition and 4 of them I have specced into. Maybe I should switch Multistrike for Melee Splash during mapping or something? I'm sure the damage would still be ok.

Wow, I can't believe you're not running Melee Splash, it's night & day for clear - it's very noticeable when I forget to switch back (only time my AG died was in an 8mod T16 Tul breach where I forgot to swap and got overwhelmed)!
Doing Poison SRS in SSF with a random 6L and the world's worst amulet which give me +112 dex so haven't juggled the rest of my gear yet - been farming Breach/Abyss to try and get Chayula sword (have two blessings so far) and the unique Abyss jewel (none dropped so far); chancing Spidersilk Robes for the Covenant and running possessed rogue exiles for more uniques / throwing Ancient Orbs at body armours but no joy so far.
Really enjoying the playstyle, though - league started a very scuffed Blade Trap Trickster where I was running Energy Blade while failing to farm up an Ephemeral Edge, very clunky/glass cannon-y/tough on wrists.
A little thing I surprisingly miss from Harvest is trading white maps for white Kirac missions - had to run about 40 white maps to get the three or so missions that were inevitably consumed by the unique map scouting reports ... never spawned the ones I needed for atlas completion on yellow/red missions. Just completed the last one (though the challenge needs Machinarium/Vinktar Square), thankfully.

Thanks for the input! This is the problem with blindly following a build guide. I just do what it states without having any idea how anything works. : / The guide didn't state to use melee splash so I thought that was intended. I just remembered using it back in the day but things like Unleash didn't exist back then so...
And yeah map swapping in Harvest was kinda neat.

I'll probably do a Minion Speed/Unbound Ailments clear/bossing swap at some stage - can remove Added Chaos if/when I get the Covenant and Chance to Poison when I get Severed in Sleep/United In Dream (current 6L is SRS-Unleash-Withering Touch-Chance to Poison-Added Chaos-Melee Splash/Multistrike).
Need to get and craft spell suppression helm/boots/gloves/shield, but I'm terrible with Rog.
Also wish some of the decent support spectres in SSF didn't despawn so fast - not entirely sure how to get a Pale Seraphim from Beyond/Scourge (are they always rare so never say the monster type?), but luckily it's not too hard to be ready to raise a Bristle Matron from Harvest as the garden plots tell you what you're getting these days. We'll always have charge monkeys, I guess.

according to Lily's vid, you swap in Minion Speed + Melee Splash for mapping, and Unbound Ailments + Multistrike for bossing. IDK how that works with a 5L though. Vaal Haste on Left Click for ease of access, and you could use Flesh Offering if you want for maximum speed more glass. IDK I haven't played the build just going off stream + youtube vid
still, my instinct is this is a build that really needs a decent level of investment to feel really good. like united in dream + 6L + some minion juice all ready. in any case it should at the very least trash sanctums.

oops sorry! Thank you Echelon!
I tried one map with melee splash and clear already feels much better. Man I'm an idiot. Thanks for the input guys! Still worse than before, especially when considering how spammy the build is, but not by much and hard targets die much quicker so overall it's more well rounded. I already invested like 1-1.5 div on jewels. They are expensive right now. I got really lucky getting one with 38 life, t2 chaos damage and t1 % damage if you have used a minion skill recently for half a divine. Similar ones were up for 4 divines... With a 5L and United in Dream it's already quite a decent investment for just alch and go mapping. But at least I can comfortably map now (including bosses and tanky rares), complete invitations etc. Saving up for a propper 6L next. And I need to read up on how to build a spectre bank...
@Haasts: They nerfed charges on minions (same effect as on players now). I don't think the monkeys are that strong anymore.

How's yr SRS build going, Miragee?
I'm still muddling along in SSF, no Chayula sword drop yet in ~9 breachstones + so many Kirac breach mods; three Soul Mantles but no Covenant, and three unique Abyss jewels but not the poison one. Build feels OK, though! Might tackle Maven and the Hidden once I ding 96.

Hey, thanks for asking! I'm on vacation atm. so I haven't made much progress. I tried to run a map the other day on my laptop but with 5 fps it wasn't fun and I decided to play again once I'm home.^^ Before I left, I finished my first full Sanctum run and am 3/4 through the next one. The build is much more powerful here and makes things a lot easier. However, I found Sanctum to be a lot less fun with it compared to Cold Snap. I can barely see anything with SRS because of the screen-clutter. It just kills everything quickly and sometimes I get hit by random stuff but it doesn't matter because it's just every now and then... Cold Snap was much cleaner, responsive and you could see the mechanics and react to them. Mapping feels a lot better with melee splash. Not great yet but I think that's going to change once I acquire a 6L (decided to aim for a Covenant immediately instead of upgrading to a cheaper 6L first, almost there).
Your SSF journey sounds rough. I think the unique jewel is quite rare. I have seen it drop once before and am sure I got lucky... Have never seen a Covenant. Good luck mate, hope you can eventually force your luck!

I'm done with my "Occulist Int Stacking wonder" for now, I love it and may play it a bit more again later if the new build fail or to farm sanctum since it can do them pretty easely.
Now trying to build a EK Ignite Occulist. I wanted to try Ignite 'something' since I never played a fire or ignite build and seem that EK is pretty simple to use. Gonna try that !
|
what skill did you use on your wander?
pretty sure EK ignite is a clear speed god so that should be fun

What's the way to craft such a wand? Awakener orb the shaper/elder bases, craft Prefixes cannot be changed -> veiled chaos? Would the attacks penetrate ele res unveil have been preferred?
Anyway, that char really looks great! How much investment is required to get it to a level where it already feels good? What pieces are rather required?

How's it feeling with the Covenant?
Tried to run Maven as poison SRS and fucked up, realised I should be running non-poison/classic fire SRS before I get sword/Covenant/jewel and did the slight respec - immediately a lot more powerful/smooth, whoops. Still trying my luck for the relevant Breach/Abyss uniques (and have four Soul Mantles in my attempt to chance every white Spidersilk Robe / throwing Ancient Orbs at body armours), lots of Skin of the Loyals and Blessings of Chayula, ~15 stones in. Dropped a Berek's Respite and a Redblade Banner so half-wondering if I feel like re-rolling into something else.

Yeah, you definitely need the gear (jewels) to make poison srs viable. How rare is the Covenant? Sounds like a nightmare in SSF. With all the other gear I would seriously consider rolling another character. SRS is not even that much fun imho. My build is feeling ok now with the Covenant. It made a fairly big impact on bosses, next to no effect during mapping. I feel like dps doesn't matter during mapping with srs, it will always feel kinda clunky and spammy as fuck. Sanctum is still not fun because of the visual clutter, even though I finally finished one high enough to face (delete) the hidden boss. I don't know what to do now. I could still upgrade a lot of my gear. Jewels would be next but upgrades are like 3 divines a piece... And for what? I also don't feel like playing anything else right now. No inspiration.

To start using this build I think you need to at least be able to have a similar wand, rings and amulet. By that, i mean the base, you can craft them after just with Int essense (forgot the name of them. Probably also the energy shield watcher. Also, the helm is mendatory but not the enchat or the corrupt.. those can come later.
[edit] btw, if you want more dmg, you should go the Ascandant way. I go Occulist for the nice explode clearing.

for anyone who could care, here the final version of my Occulist Int Scan Wander. Any other upgrade i try to do on it would cost way to much for the little it gain.
