[3.24] SRS Bomber aka Popcorn SRS | League Start to Endgame | All Content

Great Build, i love it so far. You can use Edicts to trigger the Curses btw. I can confirm that Edict of Fury triggers the Flammability coming from the Ring.
You can save the lightning Gem in your Offhand. Downside is that you need to get hit first to trigger Curses.

So still on early maps, but did hit 3 divine orb drops last night so i'll be getting some upgraded gear tonight/tomorrow. My gear is pretty garbage. All i've really updated is my Wand and belt for some basic leveling gear.

I'm still using a 4l and might just snag a tabula for mapping

Why do we use Elemental Focus support by the way? I saw the earlier comments stating Specters will help inflict ignite, but doesn't the ignite damage from the Minion Instability chips in quite a bit of damage?

We don't have a high Ignite Chance on the SRS and we don't really scale the Ignite Damage.

PoB shows high Damage numbers for when the enemy gets Ignited, but that wont happen often from the SRS themself.

at the same time Elemental Focus is a nice damage multiplier for the explosions.

Hi, I'm following the build guide as a returning player (stopped sometime in 2019). Why are we dropping Infernal Legion with Tavukai. Isn't or goal to kill our Raging Spirits as fast as possible? Same with Vitality as an aura. There's definitely something I'm missing, so please help out :D

We do want our srs to die as fast as possible. But dropping Infernal Legion gives us 1 more damage multiplier gem. The Infernal legion gem doesn't give the explosion any more damage. It's totally fine to switch in infernal legion for faster mapping if you think it's too slow with just Tavukai.

As long as we don't hit the 20 srs cap we know we we're fine in terms of damage (I usually get 10-12 out without enchant before they explode). I do however switch out conc effect for an awakened aoe gem when mapping (or just regular inc aoe) 20 -> 29 radius is a big difference. Oh and don't forget to pick up the 30% minion aoe in the minion offensive mastery.

Regarding vitality, which I didn't use at all. Getting a #% life recover shield is a lot better (Or the Surrender shield which is great). With my setup Vitality gives me about 200 more hp/s (586 to 783) but Vitality is a flat mana cost aura instead of % which is horrible unless we're stacking mana. 25% mana is 25% mana with 1000 and 10000 mana. 233 mana (vitality at 20) is a lot more at 1000 mana than at 10000 mana. And with my setup (Militant Faith with Power of Purpose) my total mana is 233 of which I reserv everything but 1.

Tempest shield, Skitterbots+Unbound ailment, Determination & Defiance banner. Then I use Haste with Divine Blessing (I'm using Eldritch Battery of course).

Going to do some shopping today. Got 2 divines to spend on gear and going to get my armor, curse ring, botos. helm, and shield hopefully based on prices.

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.

Just finished Uber lab on lvl 76, the SRS just blast the shit out of every enemy. However, spectres are only on 4L.

Would you recommend any other spectres that buff instead of clearing trash mobs? I currently use A8 solar guards and so far they have very good damage and I will eventually switch to artless assassins, but I'm just wondering if I'll hit a wall with their damage in higher tier maps later.

Not op but this is something I'm asking myself as well. Right now I'm just using 2 Flame sentinels for debuffing (Exposure + Combustion + Feeding frenzy) and that works fine for me at Tier 16 and the story bosses done (Searing Exarch and Eater of worlds) but there's a long way to doing any uber bosses of course. I like that they have built in multiple projectiles. They are barely tickling the healthbars of rares before my SRS comes in and deletes the enemies.

Btw, I think you have your Profane Proxy in the wrong slot. I'm guessing you want the shocking and not the chilling part. :)

I had a brainfart and totally forgot that shocking will cause more damage to enemies, thanks!
