PoE Eldritch Battery, Minion builds

PoB containing two alternate trees for an Absolution Guardian starter, for SSFHC. (Can be adopted to your league) (Two different trees) Burden of Truth can be switched until obtained. Might make a comphrensive minions ( Absolution and others) guide on here later.

Been playing the game for years at this point but never really tried to pull a build together of my own. Nothing is really catching my eye as a league starter outside of Absolution. Looking to get some feedback on the build I pulled together. I play SCSSF and think this should be a good starting point with super basic gear. Anything I am missing or mistakes I have made?

Obviously before patch notes yada yada. A bit in the middle between a build concept and an actual build, there should be some avenues to get more out of this build still. PoB: Idea was to make ignite minions viable, and to not use spectres because as it looks now they'll be squishy and are hard to resummon if they die. We know Reaper is "playable" at best, but it has some downsides: - Clear is mediocre and requires asenath's - You have to use a bow for ensnaring arrow, which means no shield charge Ignite could solve the issues because you can link prolif to yo

I can't be the only one looking into SRS builds for the upcoming league. I drafted this build: and I'm looking for feedback. Ideas behind the build: Have something that would work as a starter (currently no mandatory uniques besides basic AG gear) but allows growth with investment Have plain old base dmg scaled SRS and add Unholy Might and Hatred on top Use EB to counter raised SRS mana cost and keep using a Blessing for a juicy dmg aura Use the newly buffed Haste aura for zoom-zoom :) Use the new minion shields instead

I'm going to make a bet that patch notes will give us "Minions have +% chance to poison on hit" as an added mod to the pool for the new base types. We would use the free weapon to auto-cast Bladefall for Lingering Blades. Our Animated Weapons have 75/75 block, 83% all res, and max chaos res with ~24k life. Because they won't die, 2.5 blades every 8 seconds is plenty to sustain the minions and even if not we have increased duration nodes right where we're pathing. We're using Eldritch Battery for the Divine Blessing option (Haste, which lasts 30+ seconds btw

Quick Summary 4.5Mil Sirus DMG on a 5L (actually more but I kept shock minimum, its more like 25%) Over 6Mil Sirus Damage in 6L (avg. More with higher shock and chilled ground maintain) Tabula can take you to Sirus with 2.6Mil Dmg at Level 80ish. Pros (aka Why not Skele Mages?) Convocate works on this skill, unlike skele mages which are more like totems. You summon the sentinels and you have ~22 seconds before they expire. Convocate on left click isn't actually required but.. why not. No Uniques required before build works. Level with it all the way fro

I know, i know, Reaper is trash but hear me out :) Animate weapons play utility role (applying stuff like withered), and add much needed clear speed to Reaper. Right now im breaking in red maps and sailing is pretty smooth i'd say. When i added cruelty and soem other stuff to PoB i was around 900k dps (which is not precise of course). Im ready to throw some parts of it out but not sure which (probably triple offering idea) and i I would like to free all those travel points EB, but i'm not sure how to resolve mana issues, so if you ahve any advice on this - i would be grateful!
