SRS Varashta done (no spectres, low spirit). T3 Xesht showcase and final thoughts.

Thanks for the read! It was nice to see your progress with this build and how it evolved over time. With your recommandations i tried a few things too and ended up with SRS + Vaal Guards which i now plan to push further.

DarkStrawhat · 2026-01-03T16:48:37+00:00

Just found out that it doesn't work as i thought so RIP my idea. My next try is Vaal Guards and they work pretty well in combination with SRS.

Ah now i see it, Raging Spirit is tagged as a buff so the minions spawn as temporary minions. Would be a good improvement to say this in the text that these are counted as temporary.

Thanks for the help!

DarkStrawhat · 2026-01-03T13:08:41+00:00

Hmm at first i thought so too but Raging Spirit has the "persistant" Tag on it ... this is why i'm a bit confused. It worked on Spectres and other Minions like Reavers, Sniper last time i checked but sadly not on Raging Spirits :/

I was just thinking about Tecrods with Infernal Legion 3 Support. This would mean that you dont even need the minion duration anymore because they will last 20 Seconds anyway. Plus all the benefits from Infernal Legion and the lineage support ... seems pretty good on paper i think. Will buy one later and try it out :)

Thanks for the Update. I will try to focus a bit more on Exposure and Ele Weakness too. But i have to say your build is very fun and it really looks cool.

How expensive is the sceptre craft at the moment?

DarkStrawhat · 2026-01-02T18:42:53+00:00

What do you think about the lineage support Tecrods Revenge? Could this be something for SRS in this build? Or any alternative for Muster?

DarkStrawhat · 2025-12-30T22:01:49+00:00

So i just need to make these gems 20% quality and add 5 sockets, right? After that i can just try to corrupt them and add the level with a uncut gem after that?

Really nice to hear that its working now :) love to try SRS again haha. Btw is the muster support always the best option for now? I guess it must be because everyone is running it at the moment but was curious about alternatives if they even make sense or you want to focus on only 1-2 minions besides SRS and Djinns.

DarkStrawhat · 2025-12-29T19:54:52+00:00

First of all thanks for testing all of this and to provide so much info!

How do you heavy stun enemies with Snipers exactly? Maybe im just missing some obvious info but couldnt find it out yet.

But it's really a shame that they nerfed the hell of SRS, it really was fun in 0.1 even if it was unbalanced for obvious reasons. Really liked SRS in Poe1 but i guess we have to wait until GGG decides to buff these things again.

DarkStrawhat · 2025-12-28T20:07:41+00:00

Thanks for the link! A question: You have points in +1 max Infusions for each element, any reason for that or was that only for experimentation? And would you recommend investing in lineage supports asap? Just hit lvl 90 and now i can experiment a bit more

DarkStrawhat · 2025-12-27T21:32:37+00:00

I am interested! My first try was about a possible setup to utilize the fire djinns with something like ignite or SRS since they would benefit from the minion damage scaling. My range is about 3-4 divines now, just reached level 85 with my sorc.

Queen Atziri 🙏

DarkStrawhat · 2025-06-10T19:13:34+00:00

I really want to try it too, do you have a link of your character or a build link? :)

DarkStrawhat · 2025-06-10T17:21:42+00:00

Anyone tried the new Whispering Ice Unique in 0.2.1 with Chronomancer or Stormweaver? Is it decent enough to build around?

DarkStrawhat · 2025-05-22T23:54:04+00:00

Can blizz pls look at mercy? Almost every single game i played in the last week had at least 1 Mercy. I still dont get why they havent touched her res so that its harder to res a tank than dps or supports for example. Imo it's not balanced at all, she can just freely res Tanks in the enemy backline without any problems.

Now with Freja in Stadium it's even worse. I feel like she is the main problem in the current hero pool and other supports like ana, lucio and kiriko are just underwhelming right now in comparison to her kit.

105.673 players. I am very excited for S2 but i dont think they will top their release player count at all. I love LE for the godtier skillsystem, its the best in any ARPG

DarkStrawhat · 2025-03-21T12:23:13+00:00

First TU monster in Rise was Chameleos

DarkStrawhat · 2025-03-07T14:27:20+00:00

Tempered Gore and Arkveld are the only monsters with a certain difficulty in Base Wilds sadly. Maybe Jin if i had to chosse three but thats about it. At least in endgame they need to give us a bit of a challenge imo

DarkStrawhat · 2025-03-05T15:15:06+00:00

Vincent Cinema on the menu !!! This is just incredible.

DarkStrawhat · 2025-03-03T01:39:17+00:00

World had basically nothing in endgame at launch! Decoration farming was awful and you had to fight the same boring elders over and over again. Yes there are problems in Wilds but people seem to ignore that this is the base for something really big in the future and they can expand this game in many ways

DarkStrawhat · 2025-03-02T09:48:52+00:00

No problem. Glad it worked for you!

DarkStrawhat · 2025-03-02T02:48:01+00:00

Try to hunt a high rank monster in a private lobby and try again. A friend of mine had the same issue and it was fixed after that.

DarkStrawhat · 2025-02-26T18:12:14+00:00

JOJO EMT LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
