Speaking of gems, your build is a fair bit diff than the other SRS one I used.
What is the reasoning for Vaal Haste & Vaal Lightning Trap? The build I did before used regular haste & hatred & then vaal haste. Curious as to how both these Vaal gems interact in your setup.
Also what is the deal with your glove links. How are you using desecrate when it's linked with all that stuff?
Lastly, you have two different setups with your shield. Either Inc. Duration/V.haste/V.lightning trap or you swap trap with Vaal Clarity. That means you're running double clarity sometimes or using lightning trap. When do you swap between the two, or do you not? Looking for some clarification thanks!
I will try to answer this as I am currently playing a variation of this build and used this as a starting guide.
Vaal Haste and Vaal lightning trap are used primarily for bosses and more difficult foes. Lightning trap shocks enemies making them take extra damage, and vaal haste makes your minions attack faster for that short duration. Since they are not permanent, we still use Haste and/or Hatred as an aura.
Desecrate is linked there so that it benefits from Faster Casting. That's the only support gem it interacts with in that link. Flesh offering and orb of storms also benefits from faster casting, which is why he linked them all together.
He would use Vaal clarity for times he runs out of mana. If you have two auraus and are spamming SRS there may be situations when you need mana, so either a mana flask or vaal clarity.
Currently i dont use Haste and instead use Clarity with Hatred, mostly because Haste + Hatred gives me very little mana to work with and i cant spam SRS continuously. I lose damage from haste but until i have a larger mana pool or find an essence worm (i am playing SSF (BTW)) i'm good with just running Hatred

Thanks for the response. So what use does desecrate serve & how often is it being cast? I don't understand how this fits into the rotation. I've never used the spell before, so not sure if it's a setup spell for more dps or what.
Vaal Haste, I understand cause my last build used it. I'm currently running Hatred/Clarity, but I think I might try Hatred/Haste & then run Vaal Haste & Vaal Clarity & see if I can get by with that.
It's a weird change from the previous SRS build I did, which utilized Blood Magic enchant, so mana was never an issue.

You always want to keep flesh offering up. If there are no corpses around, make some with desecrate.

The covenant is a great option for this build if you prefer blood magic.

Hi i`m wondering wich one armor is the best for now. Belly or Skin (but no hp,great dmg boost).
Or rare Armor +100hp some resist and shaped/elder +1 to level of socketed support/active gems, isnt the best option ?
P.S. i`m lvl 89 and 4790hp i dropped MoM for now but, for red tier maps i will get it again... bc the fk monster hit tooo hard and we dont have any other deffence...

How would the new chest Shroud of the Lightless be for this build? Even though you can only force a 5 link (due to at least one abyss gem forced on it), it has level 20 ele penetration baked in as a pseudo-6. Given the high amounts of fire and cold damage done by this build, I figured it would be solid? Or is the +1 socketed skills lost from Skin of the Loyal too much? (Maybe it's a solid middle ground option between defense and offense?)
Uberelite is currently using it in his SRS build

I'm also curious about other chest options at the moment. 6L Belly is insanely expensive, along with Skin. I'm currently using a Tab that my friend lent me, but I will eventually have to give it back. If I don't get lucky with drops, as is usually the case, what should I be looking for in a chest? I imagine I only have a couple weeks of using this Tab before I have to give it back.
You can check my character if you want, my profile is set to public.
Also, I setup shield charge & vaal haste/clarity last night & holy shit it feels like a completely different build now. I'm just ripping through the acts.
Oh & I also have a question about the SRS links. What is the reasoning behind using Ruthless? I know that for boss you can swap Ele Dmg & Ele focus for Min Speed & Melee Splash, but wouldn't it be better to swap ele dmg for Ruthless full-time, regardless? Or no? I plan on using Empower eventually but I am piss broke right now, so I am going to start levelling one in my off-hand.

Ah ok, so you can force corpses to use with FO by using desecrate. Thanks for the clarification, which is nice, because my last build had FO issues when no corpses around.
