PoE League Starter, SSF, Minion builds without Headhunter, Mageblood, Oriath's End, Scion with custom stat filters

This has been one of my favourite league starts ever. I forgot how smooth perm minions are to play, and the Kuduku spectres shock nova is basically screen wide with the 30% minion AoE mastery. There's obviously a ton of improvements and gear upgrades to make, this is just a rough SSF friendly week one target. Spectres are Spirit of Fortune, found from the pink vendor in the league mechanic. You can farm the spectre corpses in a10 desecrated chambers. In-fact, it's easier to do so since you can keep resetting the zone, perfect spectres are much more common in campaign, and the corpse pool at

Crafting Convoking wand (min ilvl 60) Spam Harvest speed reforge until you get +1 minions and an open suffix for trigger craft. Alternatively Alt + Augment spam until you get +1 and speed, can also try to regal if you get +1 and a random suffix. Finish with Trigger bench craft You can also try bound fossils, but they can be pricey early in a league at least for me they're very annoying to try and farm. These shouldn't also be that expensive to buy off of trade, +1 with a small attack speed roll isn't worth a whole bunch. If you're having trouble getting a +1 roll, a 50% minion damage

So we all know good old SRS. You have 20 of the little buggers, they swarm around headbanging things and living out their short blissful lives. Sometimes they even go out with a bang, and the sound of 20 skulls exploding multiple times a second is the good old SRS Popcorn. But what if the explosions were bigger? MUCH bigger? (tl;dr: 3.8 million current damage per SRS pop, could get up to 22mill under absurd conditions; pob: clips: mapping: harvest: and drox: http

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?

Here's a quick update to Kay's popcorn SRS build I'm considering for SSF league start this Friday. I've tweaked a few things, increased some defenses. Have a SSF starter gear set and bare bones tree and damage looks decent. Any thoughts? I'll need to tweak the build more once PoB updates with new craft bases and gem modifications.

This is my backup plan for league start next league, if nothing new/buffed piques my interest, and if armour and evasion both somehow avoid the nerf hammer again. Zombies seem to have a very low representation on the SSFHC ladders, but it's pretty easy to get 1M+ damage on them with a ton of budget left over for tankiness. 1.2M DPS with the Determination/Grace/Defiance Banner trinity, 100% spell suppression, and 62/37 block. Any suggestions for improvements would be welcome!
