Amazing video. Well edited, fairly in depth, with all aspects of the builds clearly explained. I wish there was a video like this for every archetype in the game.

Never seen any of your stuff before (looks like you're a racer who's just starting to do RUclips?) but was looking into the different SRS archetypes and found your video. This is really well done, super informative and extremely clear. I think I'm going to go try to get the Hardcore achievements done using the Tri Elemental SRS Guardian! In the meantime, I hope you put out some more stuff, this was really excellent!
I love this. It's always so hard to decide on variations of a build because there are so many variants, so a series focusing on comparing them is def something I enjoy.
Leaving comment for algoritm. I hope YT gonna boost you to the highest numbers that poe creators getting. Past many years of playing poe, never seen such a good build guide. You need only bit more movies on your channel.
Liked, subscribed, bell activated, this is simply such a well rounded and HQ guide. + you manage to keep it both entertaining and highly informative. Massive props
Having done both Psn & Lgn, both Champ & Necro, on both SSF & Trade (yup, that's a lot of SRS this league!), and also both on Kb&M and gamepad (in fact that's why I wanted to try Champ Lgn in the first place, it's actually one of the best builds to play with a gamepad). I can honestly say that while Champ Lgn felt somewhat tankier/safer the DMG of Poison felt better and more importantly Necro Psn was so insanely more comfortable to play that I had to in the end abandon lightning (and that's even with somewhat crappy Necro Psn gear in SSF vs I had great luck and got everything Champ Lgn needed also in SSF, 6L loreweave, jewels etc). The lower duration of SRS on Champ and the buff re-casting, plus the recovery reliance on life flask, simply were a pain in the a&&. Necro Psn is just cast & go, it feels better to play particularly for a grindy game. In trade league the contrast was even starker, because I could have access to way better gear for Psn so the difference got further minimised.
Didn't give the new guardian stuff a go yet so I was very surprised seeing this demo of the sentinel - that's actually insane and seems like it'd be a comfortable, braindead way to faceroll the initial ssf progression. Definitely going to have to give this a shot!
Really nice video! I did a HCSSF run with SRS Guardian over this past weekend for fun, so this was a timely video to come across. Unfortunately I died in a yellow map due to my low phys mitigation. I'm probably going to play one of these builds next league.
What are you going to do to fix that on your next hc run? iv played a few guardians to lvl 90 ssfhc and that was my weak point as well. felt so squishy
Great presentation. Ran poison srs as my last build of the league and i really like it. Took me further than ive gone woth any of my other characters. But this video has me very curious about lightning srs. I will check out the build and will probably play it at some point next league.
Fantastic work, i played chains of command and srs wrath/smite guardian without the guardian minions but stacking auras ammounts and effect effect to get 50%+ recovery. Was great but champ was better. When i saw your build of the champ, I loved it!
This is a really really good video. I was looking at srs with a dominating blow duo for league start but didn't end up doing it because I just couldn't decide what version would be best. This is a lot of great information that would have been hard to find otherwise
Nice vid, I'm most interested in your Guardian SRS build, I don't know if you'd consider doing a vid specifically about it. Notice that spectres aren't used, do you think it's not worth using them with jinxed juju? Could you squeeze them and convocation in on unset rings?
I tend to shy away from Spectre/AG personally but I think they could be decent here since they'll probably never die with "5% minion life on minion death" mastery. But like you mentioned socket pressure would be insane. Unsets are not ideal just because ring implicits tend to be quite strong but you can probably get away with wearing one. Jinxed Juju isn't great on Guardian since anger/wrath/hatred aren't affected by aura effect, but it's usable
Update - Thanks to this build I managed to finally get hardcore lvl 90 and eternal lab achievements after finished with the league on softcore so thanks for that 😊
The attack speed you can get with guardian is unreal. If you’re willing to sacrifice 2 gem sockets the movement can imo be 3 stars, Flame Dash and Shield Charge with Unleash intermingled is just good clearing. SRS is so reliable for offscreen.
Loved the video! What do you think of the minion instability version / popcorn srs? Im personally very fond of this archetype as it's what i accidentally stumbled upon on my first blind playthrough and what i beat the campaign with for the first time (on another character and using a guide that time)
It sounds like a solid mapper, not sure about single target. Mechanically and numerically MI seems inferior to standard SRS though, and there probably won't be Minion Life tattoos next league
Man, these guides/videos you make are 100/100, really amazing work. I would love to hear your thoughts about any "new" starter builds. I love to test out a new skill on league launch, but last time it was a dud which was disappointing, but it goes with the terrain.
Talking about ssf standpoint I did 2 ssf starts this league and guardian felt really lackluster later on due to scaling issues, considering fleshcrafter and covenant both are T1. Guardian is bonkers early but if you manage to farm severed in sleep and darkness enthroned necro really becomes really comfy + if you manage to find a covenant which luckily I found one. It really starts rolling all content ingame. I also found a fleshcrafter but I doubt I would hit the dps and survivability numbers I have with my poison srs necro rn. Guardian having Time of need regen node might be the only thing I miss tbh compared to my necro srs.
Dayyyumm, that is a good vid right there! thnks man, i did sentinel of radiance and srs life scaling guardian on 3.22, looking to freshen things up, but i think i might fall down that pit again XD in terms of league start and survivability it is great, but this lightning one just made me go "uuuuuuwiiiii" but since u said it is not league startable i'm a lil sad XD
Didnt play srs, but played dom blow poison on old guardian and absolution on the new one. The poison is still pretty op. The support gems giving you 40-50% more damage each except 1 (could be all if all are dps supports and last is predator). You can reach the cap much easier and faster than with hitbased skills. The temp chains is both defensive and damage curse, the wither doubles your dps. If you play necro, you get 50% increased minion durstion, the duration also works for other skills like vaal skills (vaal haste/vaal minions) or guard skills. When it comes to guardian, you play triple ele at first which gives you the highest early dps. Good for league starters. Later on, it becomes good to specialize only on one element. You use dorianys prototype, use punishment instead of elemental weakness and go crit with monkeys, passives and spirit offering. In the end your dps after switching from triple ele to lightning crit is 4 times higher. Havent played the champion, but it seems to have an edge only in high budget
Crit can get high PoB numbers sure. I'm personally not a fan of crit on SRS unless it's a dedicated boss character or something, flesh offering is really big QoL for everything outside of ubers
Awesome video man! you want me to go back to Poe haha! Just a question, what are you using for your ingame presentation? like the Circle where you explain every build. or the Note boxes with texts? this looks so professional :)
really nice video. clean editing and delivery of information. kudos! maybe pay a little more attention to the audio balance between background music and speech and youre golden!
So I followed a guide similar to the Tri-SRS with Staff build, and seems most are playing with wand and shield. Im currently lvl 90 but seem to die alot even with high res. Just seems like some league mechanics I just have to avoid during maping.
6:10 "I think this is due to integer size limits". The reason why it is capped at that value is because PoE doesn't actually calculate dots as "damage per second" but rather "damage per minute" so maxInt (2,147,483,647) damage per minute is the highest it can handle which means divided by 60s is 35791394 or round about 36M dps.
Hey what is your plans for gauntlet ? I'm sort of stuck on srs champion or guardian. It's hard to compare 500 flat armour vs 25% block for example. Both have a similar fortify effect also. I guess the other thing is you said srs guardian is the king of SSF, however Ben has also said srs guardian will be too squishy for this gauntlet.
first of all, amazing video, high quality content very interested in the guardian ele srs. Do you have a medium budget pob for trade league? Between SSF 3M dps and endgame 96M. I was going to follow Ghazzy's guide but liked your approach more
Hey man, are you going to redo the lighting champ pbob for the next league once we learn what is happening with tattoos and what is the new stuff coming in?
great video. Are there any builds/recommendations where you combine SRS with spectres for better clear? I really like the zoomancer style and with SRS should be great (although sockets will be a problem lol)
Not a huge fan of Spectres just because SRS doesn't typically scale minion defense whatsoever and they're very tedious to resummon when they die. It's definitely doable though
one thing i notice to make all srs builds more thank is to just simply put a taunt jew, and summon skelletons on wand, so it triggers often, taunt is so broken while mapping.
@PhazePlays could you run inquis/heiro srs and get the relics with forbidden flame/flesh? Does that open up any cool builds? I think the pair went for ~18d this league, so not too expensive
my main problem with playing guardian minions, is the I have to constantly resummon the sentinel, and if you go fast, it's not even worth summoning it at all, as it will cost you a massive qol loss, and a div/h cost. They should have just made it a perma minion if they are going to make it a massive cast time to summon it
Poison SRS is a good build but you need to invest a bit to get it work, and the peak of dmg is reach after few seconds of hitting the enemy due the poison taking place. I played it this league and honestly it felt kinda clunky, next league i may try try elemental SRS :D

Hey man, are you going to redo the lighting champ pbob for the next league once we learn what is happening with tattoos and what is the new stuff coming in?

Holy, we don't deserve this quality of PoE videos.
Wish I had seen this before leveling up another character. Thought Guardian was the play and here I am now wanting lightning.
one thing i notice to make all srs builds more thank is to just simply put a taunt jew, and summon skelletons on wand, so it triggers often, taunt is so broken while mapping.
@PhazePlays could you run inquis/heiro srs and get the relics with forbidden flame/flesh? Does that open up any cool builds? I think the pair went for ~18d this league, so not too expensive
Can you update the endgame pob? One too many skill points being used, wrong life mastery selected, etc...
my main problem with playing guardian minions, is the I have to constantly resummon the sentinel, and if you go fast, it's not even worth summoning it at all, as it will cost you a massive qol loss, and a div/h cost.
They should have just made it a perma minion if they are going to make it a massive cast time to summon it
Poison SRS is a good build but you need to invest a bit to get it work, and the peak of dmg is reach after few seconds of hitting the enemy due the poison taking place. I played it this league and honestly it felt kinda clunky, next league i may try try elemental SRS :D
Yeah, poison always feels more clunky for mapping compared to instant damage.
