So im planning next league to get into maps within 1 playing session, mabye in like 8-10 hours i hope ? My build is gonna be SRS necro, but its leveling is kinda slow, what is a good alternative that is the fastest to leveling? I know sunder is good but it probably wont work well with a witch necro.

This build utilizes the SRS from Spectral Tacticians. Each tactician can summon up to 50 SRS and with 4 spectres we get 200. You can self-cast 20 SRS and the Grave glove enchants give an additional 3 for a total of 223 SRS. Unfortunately this build can only comfortably do yellow maps. Lower tier red maps are okay with t13+ becoming very difficult. This is my first time playing a summoner and ES based character so maybe someone else can find room for improvement.

1) Leveling as SRS is decent enough, I'd say, and it won't require refunding passive points later on.

Get yourself 2x Lifesprigs (or a single +1 to fire gems Wand), slap SRS - Minion Damage - Melee Splash in there, then get Flesh (?) Offering so make them faster (by level 10, but it does not have much use until you have Mistress of Sacrifice, besides for bossing with Desecrate + Flesh Offering), Desecrate - Spell Cascade. Then, get yourself a Reverberation Rod (for +1 to gems and Spell Echo), slap SRS - Minion Damage - Melee Splash in there, then try to get a 4l helmet (with +1 to minion gems, 90% sure there is a recipe for that) and slap SRS - Minion Damage - Melee Splash - Spell Echo and you should be good until maps. You could probably use some Spectres as well from 28, but I don't know which ones are decent at the momeent, as it's been a while since I leveled a Necro.

If you don't wanna follow to usual SRS leveling, you could try Poet's Pen with SRS and Volatile Dead, I don't know, lol, but it looks fun. Or just level as a spellcaster and go Firestorm/Storm Call - Spell Cascade (swap with Concentrated Effect for single target) - something on a +1 wand/sceptre.

Personally I like to run flameblast totems then SRS when I can 5 link. Any spell is decent enough though that has OK aoe. SRS is fine to level with as well if you have alright leveling gear.

What is a good alternative that is the fastest to leveling? Don't forget to from U4gm to buy poe orbs, which is the best choice for Path of Exile items on the market!
