Witch - [3.24] SadPanda's Poison Summon Raging Spirits Build Guide | Ubers and T17s Done - Forum - Path of Exile (2024)

Any tips to swap to this from spectres? I feel like damage with frost bearers would be good if I got the gem to 25 for 4 spectres but its just clunky running around trying to get them positioned and what not. +2 wand, Helm and shield expensive for ok rolls. I have two kids and going to school at the moment so i am far from rich maybe 8 divines can sell some random stuff. Would be best to keep with spectres to farm more?

Clearing map now is ok around tier 13 at level 22 gem (not taking expedition into account).

I used SRS and absolution for leveling and it felt really good but swapped to spectres out of curiosity. Anyways thanks for the quides, used the skelli mages a couple leagues ago and was fun.

We do not use dmg spectres, as I listed, we use ancient suffering and arena master for support. Those give temporal chains which is a huge boost and attack and cast speed buff every 12 seconds.

Hi sorry I meant as if I were to reroll into this build. Will it perform better?

I mean, I uploaded some videos I think you can decide for that yourself ^^
This build has amazing single target damage, best of all minion builds imo.
It performs better than any other minion build I ve played so far.

I'm suffering to find a ancient suffering corpose T_T

So far the build is amazing. I was playing arakaali ocultist without the "The Squire". The dmg was ok and the clear speed was awesome, but I had a lot of issues surviving.

With this build most of the time I get to survive, but not so many, because when the dmg hit and the "The Surrender" not proc to regen life (most of the time when I have to activate the aura from unique sword), I die.

But I haven't had a build that killed bosses this easy using minions with low investiment.

Right now I'm looking for a better helmet to swap, gather money for 5ways to lv 100 and finally will look for ashes of the stars and mageblood.

SadPanda gave me the ancient suffering corpose <3

Thoughts on using Surrender Shield vs Aegis with Mind over Matter? Or would they be pretty similar?

I get this question a lot so I will explain it and then put it on the thread.

Surrender provides us with about 500 life block on hit which is equal to 12-13% life gain on block. That is unmatched for our defenses and can recover us from dire situations like my 6-man sirus fight.

Aegis is an old idea with MoM. I do not recommend using mom because dots will go through our mana and leave us with nothing to cast our srs with. This is the main reason I quit MoM and aegis. It will provide us 5 cold max res and great es but without MoM it will be no use. On the other hand, surrender provides us ehp recovery directly and can save us at any time.

This is the main reason I choose new surrender over aegis. Oh and since we require the eldritch battery to cast our skills we can not rely on aegis for our direct ehp recovery.

Pretty solid build so far. Quite tanky even with 4K life that I have right now.

Though not exactly a budget friendly build, I pretty much cleared all content with it. I'm struggling a bit with the challenges now as SRS builds are quite new to me, doing a kirac blighted challenge map while the srs keeps going concentrating away from target can be a bit frustrating.

Question.

Would an empower gem help in this regard?. I'm not really that good with the damage calculations, but for instance swapping unleash for empower, for bossing perhaps?.

I am glad that it is performing well, about blights, you need to use level 3 un-upgraded stone towers and level 3 un-upgraded empower towers to stun all of the monsters and stop them from coming towards your pump.

Hi ! i followed your Skeleton build and it was really great !
Now im trying SRS, since i never played with it, and its you again ! hehe

What would you recommend for 6L pre-poison setup for SRS ?

And where do you find your spectres ? Arena Master and Ancient Suffering ?

Ty for the guideline ^^
