GENERAL TIPS:
==========================

IMPORTANT: Check the custom configuration of this PoB!!

- You will need to Swap the regular SRS Gem for its Transfigured Version "Summon Raging Spirit of Enormity"! 
-- Drop Unleash support when you swap, to not risk overcasting your Spirits
- Get some cast speed and at the same time an Fortress Covenant Jewel to help with the pop speed and preventing overcasting the Spirits

- You will need some stats (68 Dex for Skitterbots, 155 Str for Determination) on your gear
-- Alternatively you could get an Elegant Hubris Jewel of "Caspiro" and put it into the socket next to "Pain Attunement"
	Doing so will turn the Keystone into "Supreme Ostentation", which lets you ignore all Attribute Requirements

- Don't put quality on the "Infernal Legion Support"
- Drop "Infernal Legion" as soon as you have the Tavukai Amulet!

IMPORTANT: Only take Bone Barrier in Merc lap when you have a Tavukai Amulet available
					  Bone Barrier will give your SRS a great amount of ES wihich Infernal Legion would need to go thorugh before actually damaging the Spirits,
					  So reaching low life would take Ages!

- The Minion Life/Damage you get through using Essence of Fear is NOT mandatory, you can easily kill everything without it
- Keep your Descedrate at level 1 (there is no benefit in leveling it)
- Level "Faster Attacks" only as far as your Dex lets you -> do not get more dex to just level Faster Attacks
- You need at least 45% Increased Mana Reservation Efficiency if you are not using The Devouring Diadem
- You want an open Suffix on any of your Rare Geare pieces to craft "Aspect of the Spider"

- You are looking for a bunch of Evasion/ES and/or Evasion/Armour Bases, make sure you can handle the Dexterity Requirements (or sou use an Elegant Hubris Jewel and Supreme Ostentation)

==========================
SKILL-TREE
==========================

- If you manage to get your Hands on some well rolled Cluster Jewels, the small passives give some good extra stats, it can be worthwhile taking those over some generic life nodes on the tree

==========================
CRAFTING
==========================

** Leveling / League Start
------------------------------------------
Essences of Fear are your best friend!

Since we scale our Damage through "Minions have #% increased Maximum Life" and "Minions deal #% increased Damage"
we want essences of Fear on many of our Gear Slots.
Using an Essence of Fear on the following gear slots give you either guaranteed Minion Life or Minion Damage

Wand -> Minion Damage
Gloves -> Minion Damge
Armour -> Minion Life
Boots -> Minion life
Belt -> Minion Life

So every Time you find an Essence of Fear slap it onto your gear.

-------------------------------------------
** Late Game / End Game
-------------------------------------------

General Note:
You Want "Aspect of the Spider" on ONE of your Rare Items, Craft it where ever it best fits on your gear.

---------------------------------------------

Any generic Boots with Spell Suppression are fine, preferable Evasion/ES or Evasion/Armour

We can either Craft Boots with Minion Life or avoid Elemental Ailments.

**** How to Craft
The process is similiar to the Boots, but we need to use Essence of Loathing for "Mana Reservation Efficiency"

3. Use Esssence of Loathing until you hit "Chance to Suppress Spell damage" and either

9. Use Eater of World Ichors until you hit "Chance to Suppress Spell Damage"


--------------------------------------------------
*** RINGS
I'd recommend either a Vermillion or Amethyst Ring and a Unset Ring as Bases.
To get the wanted affixes you need Redeemer Influence on both Rings
The Crafting Process is the same for both.

What you are looking for:
- Maximum Life
- increased Minion Damage
- Increased Minion Life
- Resistances
- Stats (if needed)

**** How to Craft
Get Your Bases with Redeemer Influence and iLvl 80+

1. Craft Maximum Life and Minion Damage using Fossils:

Aetheric + Bound + Pristine (1/45, for both stats atleast T2)
or
Bound + Pristine (1/62, for both stats atleast T2)

-> If satisfied and Open suffix, continue
-> If no open Suffix, but open Prefix -> Beastcraft suffix to prefix
-> if no open affixes, yolo annull

2. craft "prefixes cannot be Changed"
3. Scour
4. craft Multimod
5. Craft Minion Life
4. Craft Resistances or Stats as needed  


-------------------------------------------------
*** SHIELD

Our main Stat for the Shield is "Recover #% of Life when you Block".
When you are going for MoM you also want "Recover #% of Energy Shield when you Block"

Both mods can come from Shaper Influence, but also from Crusader (ES on Block) and Warlord (Life on Block)

The only way to guarantee both stats is using Awakener Orbs.
All other approaches are RNG heavy.

Besides the recover stats we are looking for

- +1 to Level of all Minion Skill
- #% increased Minion Life
- Minions deal #% increased Damage
- +# to maximum Life
- Resistances
- (Open Suffix for "Avoid Elemental Ailments", if needed)

**** How to Craft
Variant 1: Recover life only:
1. Get a Shaper Influenced Bone Shield
3. Fossil craft with
Corroded + Pristine + Sanctified + Shuddering  (1/9, with a decently high chance for other usable Minion Mods)

Variant 2: Recover Life+Es
1. Get a Base (Bone Spirit if you go for Additional Minion mods, else any other) with Shaper, Warlord or Crusade Influence with one of the Recover mods
2. Get a second Base with one of the other Influences and the corresponding other Recovery stat.
eg.
	-> Base 1: Shaper with life on Block (Bone Spirit)
	-> Base 2: Crusader with ES on Block (Random Base)
3. Awakener Orb the Random base onto the desired one
4. Hope for good mods beside the Recovery stats.
