[2.6] Strength Stacking - SRS/Zombie - 5k Life/10k ES Hybrid
|
What this build is about:
We stack as much strength as possible and get a lot of stats out of it. Each point will give us -Life -Energy Shield -Minion Damage -Minion Life -More Zombies -Mana We cast SRS with a Blood Magic Support, the lost life is leeched back by our zombies. Energy Shield will be restored by a Spirit Offering that we constantly auto-cast. Chaos damage will not bypass our energy shield.  Video:

These turn our strength into energy shield: This turns our strength into minion damage, minion life and more zombies: This stops chaos damage from bypassing energy shield: These help us to get a lot of strength: This makes our zombies strong: What you want on the rest of your gear: Resists, Strength, Energy Shield, Life Aura Setup:
Spoiler
Discipline+Purity of Elements+Clarity+Enlighten This is very important. Using "Esh's Visage", we need to stay out of "Low Mana" (under 35%) so chaos damage doesn't penetrate our energy shield. With level 1 Clarity, level 3 Enlighten and 4% reduced mana reserved on the tree we end up with 36% mana. Purity of Elements because it is hard getting enough resistances using that many uniques.

Spoiler
Nerfs: -about 2000 less Energy Shield -Less SRS damage Buffs: -More Zombie damage -new Life nodes in the passive tree at the Witch start Zombies got a huge damage buff so it might be even better to use the Zombies in the six-link. The loss of ES doesn't hurt this build much since our survivability was already very high. Zombie buff is way bigger than the SRS nerf, so we end up with higher dps.

How does this build do with end game content? Guardians, shaper, etc?
|
|
" guardians can be done, uber atziri and shaper no. the zombies dont survive those fights and the SRS dont do enough dps. |

Update:
-Added changes in 3.0 |

I'm playing the version of this build where the 6-Link contains SRS. Is it better to use the version where the 6-Link contains Summon Zombie? I'm not having any problems with the build, but I noticed your Harbinger League character has the Summon Zombie links.

Yes, this version is outdated, focusing that much Energy Shield is not that good anymore.
I made a new version of this build for Harbinger, which is also stronger than this one. You can find it here: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2017232/page/1 |
