PoE SRS: Explained and Demystified

Welcome to my Guide for SRS (Summon Raging Spirit) in Path of Exile.
In this video, we'll break down the mechanics of SRS and the different strategies you can use to harness its power. We'll cover everything from the basics of SRS to advanced tactics for maximizing your damage output. Whether you're new to PoE or have experience with SRS, this video will provide valuable information for you.
This guide was recorded in PoE 3.20 and the build is based on a Necromancer.

Your final notes on how we're getting so much poison damage from fire is exactly what I came here for. Thank you :)

[@Altek2k]

Yes, that had me puzzled for a while. Glad it helped. Thanka for watching!

[@pixelatedalkesh10]

Very good video, I think this type of video is really helpful, especially when there are so many complex interactions and mechanics in the game that might not be as obvious. Keep up the great job, I'd love more videos explaining and demystifying other mechanics in the game!

[@Altek2k]

Glad you liked it. Definately plan to do more. Thanks for the support!

[@Khrei]

you got me on summon raging squirrels 😁

[@Altek2k]

:) Thanks for watching!

[@fene2899]

Great video! Learned a lot and am now praying for your squirrel mtx idea to get implemented. Hamsters would also be fun.

[@Altek2k]

Glad you liked it. Oh never thought of hamsters, but yes any lethal form of small furry animal would work nicely 😂. Thanks for watching!

SUMMON RAGING SQUIRRELS! defo insane! Very interesting video!

[@Altek2k]

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!

[@Vulgaels]

Last 3 leagues starting red covenant helmet giving them ignite and splash has been amazing and breezy

[@Altek2k]

I used it to level, I found dropping at around act 7 made it feel so much better though. The damage dropped off hard. Did you found the same? Thanks!

[@francisraiol1206]

Thanks for the video

[@Altek2k]

Thanks for watching!

[@norokelt]

I MUST have now the SQUIRELS! 🤣 brilliant idea ♥

[@Altek2k]

Great minds think alike. Thanks for watching!

[@illomens2766]

I feel like the mystery around this spell gives it more flavor

[@Altek2k]

Possibly. It's kind of weird though. Thanks for watching!

[@loganb452]

I don't want squirrels. It might just be you. Thanks for the video! good info.

[@Altek2k]

Thanks for watching!

[@bloodypuddle.]

Have you got a POB for your SRS please? Or vid?

[@Altek2k]

My build is quite old now. I do reccommend balormage's build. Which you can find here : kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYeqmIGset9pZqc Hope this helps and thanks for watching!

[@felipemessias8736]

What about the use of a 4 white sockets Triad Grip? Would that increase the Poison SRS version by much?

[@Altek2k]

Normally if you had 100% conversion to fire and Chaos this would scale to 50% each. However, the conversion on a gem takes priority and does not scale. The 100% conversion would happen first and leave no remainder for the chaos to act against. What I don't know in this case is if the conversion to fire is actually classes as gem conversion, becuse it isn't on the GEM. POB Shows that for a 20:20 gem with no supports that you would start with 270 - 404 damage and end up with 135 - 202 to both fire and cold. So POB is not classing it as gem conversion. This is something that would need some experimentation on. 135 - 202 is a nice addition pre scaling. I just don't know which of the 2 paths the game would take. A phys to lightning conversion on SRS would check if its being classed as gem or not to check before you bought the gloves. If you do try it, let me know the result because this is a really interesting question. Thanks!

5:55 you’re 100% mental mate, but so am I. Love it!

[@Altek2k]

At least i'm in good company 🤣. Glad you liked it and thanks for watching!

[@logik99]

Posion build has been around for a long time. Unless something got buffed recently the strength of the build is nothing new

[@Altek2k]

The aura on the sword got buffed up 10 levels last league I think.

[@mrlacksoriginality4877]

Does anyone know if 4 white sockets triad grips change some of that phys to fire to chaos damage instead? Genuinely confused. I also want to know know how much damage each of does without any support gems.

[@Altek2k]

The 4 white triad should convert 50% of phys to chaos. 2 * 100% will yield 50% each. On the damage unsupported no clue. Thanks for watching!

[@mrlacksoriginality4877]

@@Altek2k I thought that too but looking at the wiki, it says gem conversion takes priority so i am guessing that because SRS converts 100% to fire, it takes priority so none of the conversion takes effect?

[@Altek2k]

@@mrlacksoriginality4877 there is a way to test this, if you run a low level expedition with monsters immune to fire and no other flat damage of other types and you still do damage the conversion is working. Wasn't aware of gem priority in conversion. I will take a look.

[@mrlacksoriginality4877]

@@Altek2k Thats a great idea.

[@mrlacksoriginality4877]

@@Altek2k Just tested it and i still do damage even when i have full chaos conversion on the gloves. TY it was a great idea.

[@sosa1ofnone]

How come we don't take Spiritual Aid in the passive tree?fv

[@Altek2k]

We don’t do much damage it’s all Srs and as minions they don’t take our Damage into account. if you are doing some kind of hybrid damage you could. Hope this helps and thanks for watching!

[@pavelstoikov3780]

what if u combine zombies ?

[@Altek2k]

Zombies are good as 4 link. Spectres are also a good choice. I think I used zombies early then swapped them out because of socket pressure. Thanks for watching!

[@07Jrob]

I use bees but I'd definitely be down for squirrels

[@Altek2k]

:), One day... Thanks for watching!

[@Donsdoom]

what about Summon Murder Hornets? SMH amirite?

[@Altek2k]

I like it! Thanks!

[@FordyHunt]

Good video but your squirrel idea is nuts

[@Altek2k]

Aw come on, Rabbid Squirrels sound awsome! Thanks for watching mate!

[@rjuwuxd3012]

Why does this youtuber sound like a football commentator? :D

[@Altek2k]

I don't watch football so it's purely coincidence :). Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

[@rjuwuxd3012]

@@Altek2k It is! It means you sound super professional :D

[@Altek2k]

Thanks!

[@barrygrencavage2282]

2 more raging spirits it not huge, it's 10% more damage.

[@Altek2k]

10% more damage is a tonne when you are getting towards maxed.
