Intro & build description
This build is based on SRS, but with a twist. Instead of minions hitting to kill enemies, we send horde of skulls that are decaying and exploding on enemies thanks to Minion Instability keystone, leaving burning puddles of flame. If regular SRS seemed to be too boring, exploding the minions might be just it.
Build Pros

Amulet
TavukaiI would say amulet is mandatory as it allows minions to die from chaos damage to pop Minion Instability. Without Tavukai we would need to use infernal legion support to burn minions.

Use any rare belt until you get Replica Siegebreaker.
