Popcorn SRS is quite a throwback, and I used to be in love with the skill. I league started SRS three or four times before Harvest league and really liked the smooth transition to maps and earlier bosses. It's a build/skill that scales well into dealing single target damage (and imo proper popcorn is better than melee SRS), while also having smooth but slower mapping. Best of the build is that there are many upgrade options for relatively cheap like clusters or minion wands. Furthermore, you can pivot to other minion builds at the end of the day with a lot of the gear. Some drawbacks to this build however are that it is a bit scuffed with enough ground aoe or boss abilities killing minions before they can explode. Also the mapping is evidently slow and the damage can be inconsistent at times.

Starting a new series - no stash tab in trade league challenge. Should really be testing my ability to prioritize and be efficient with my content and build planning.
