Looking for a poison SRS build which isn´t a necromancer.

[Magenta]

I found The Covenant and Amanamu's Gaze in ssf, and I wanna try out a SRS build, but I am not a big fan of necro and I want to try out something different as well.

The logical choice seems to be guardian, but I feel like he is more tailored to elemental minions or do the elemental relics also effect poison dmg? I am not really sure, and hope someone has a tested POB I can try. Thank you.

ok, but why not necromancer? that's clearly the best option.

if I had to do something other than necro, I'd maybe try Hierophant and really lean hard into Arcane Surge for mana regen sustain and cast speed - both important for a SRS build.

this like saying tornado shot build but not deadeye

You probably need to forget about "so many ways to build the character" advertisement first. It's just a lie.

Because if the build is not leaning toward META, it will become a trash that will waste your time.

It's not a player's false.

You could look at poe.ninja and filter by SRS non-necro, then add covenant as filter.

Shows one character, albeit an occultist, so you have an easy fallback to necromancer.

funnily enough tornado shot is really insane on int stacking trickster this league, but very very expensive

I found a poison srs guardian from last league, so I am gonna follow his build. If he made it to 100 it must be solid. I have a svalinn shield, so his block passives will also come in handy.

Sure, it probably won´t do as much dmg as necro, but I don´t like the aesthetics of the witch.
