So any one of you have experience with the guardians/shaper?

I can kill relatively easy T15 bosses, carry in Uber Lab and normal Atziri, but I tried the minotaur twice yesterday and I couldnt kill him. He 1-shoted me a couple of times and sometimes I was overwhelmed with the stone golems/rocks falling. Any advices?
I'm gonna try again with a Support for the auras and also for the live bait :P

Your gear/spec?

At HO 3,9k hp and 5,9k ES maxed res (even with elem. weak.)

So, I used this build as a guideline for a while now and I thought, I'd just leave a comment here.

I think I can confirm, that this is indeed cheap and works very well for the money you need to put in.

I picked this game up two weeks ago and started with literally nothing, worked hard towards my first chaos to afford a +2fire 5L staff to start out with and farmed a couple more chaos for some crappy belly of the beast and alpha's howl and got the base equipment pretty quickly.
This already enabled me to do all kinds of labyrinth on my own and map solo into the early yellow maps.

At that point I switched to a +2 fire, 6L staff with a ton of manareg and 27% cast speed for about 1 ex (might have been lucky there), which then got me all the way to early red maps with T14 and T15 in groups.
I then started switching the pure life gear for more ES pieces, crafted myself a bone helm with reduced mana reserved and rings and amulets with minion speed and manareg, using just the essences and base items I found myself. The only things I had to buy were high ES 6 socket armor and some decent gloves.

Right now I am leaving the cheap territory, as I gathered enough currency and just got myself a nice +3 fire staff with 6 links and everything you'd want and the first of my many empower gems in the second weapon slot is about to hit level 3.

I'm sitting on 3.9k life and 5.5k ES with capped resistances and can do most of the endgame without problems, so this guide can really call itself "cheap" :) You can definitely do this starting from scratch.

Now I know that the cool kids seem to be CI and carry a bow and quiver, but those are even more expensive and a respec wouldn't be cheap either, so I might test that on another character at some point. So far I'm happy with what I got.

This build is definetly not viable for end game content (uber lab and map t12 and more). Waste of time for me.

But work fine with all other content included atziri.

Uber lab works fine for me, as soon as you get a 6-link staff and a lvl 21 srs gem izaro doesen't even has time to harm you...and even without those its possible. Same for t12+ maps, do enough damage and nothing harms you.

I am at least farming T15 maps without problems. This is mostly due to how fast everything dies. If I enter a boss-arena with vaal haste up and my onslaught flask ready, the boss is usually dead about 5-10 seconds later (on t15).

I can't say that for sure about uberlab, because I haven't been there for a while (I lose about 75% of my keys to disconnects when zoning). I did it for the skillpoints and it was doable even before I had a 6 link staff, but it wasn't pretty.

Are you trolling?

I can easily do T15. Kaom (alched and corrupted map) for example goes down in like 5 to 10 seconds.

Uberlab is easy but not farmable with max keys, given that you cannot control the attacks of the SRS, so I usually only get the Argus key. But for the ascendancy or even carrying someone, not a problem.

I haven't tried Uber-Atziri nor the Shaper yet.

If you are dying a lot, check your gear or kite more. This is not a boring BV-Vinktar-facetank-everything build.

Any suggestion of good MF gear for this build?

Andvarius is a very good ring for mf and its relatively easy to still cap resists with the -20 modifier. Ventors Gamble would be better overall but good rolls are very expensive. Also very good is the Item Rarity Support Gem (or even better Item Quantity if you play standard). Next possible item slot are the Aursize gloves and from there one i don't realy have any advice maybe you can get some rolls on your usual equipment.

Hey thanks so much for your guide! I will want to try this as soon as I can.
One tiny editing suggestion. You write:

-Mistress of Sacrifice: for some minion damage, increased skill duration for your spirits and most important: "our offering skills also effect you". Since we use Flesh Offering we get 30% more cast speed and movement speed. This lets you spit out spirits in an incredible speed.
-Commander of Darkness: grants you 5% increased cast and attack speed, 10% increased damage for every aura you cast (Auras linked with generosity don't count for you!). We end up with 4 Auras so we get 20% attack and cast speed and 40% more damage for our Minions.

and I put your word "more" in boldface.

I'm more at home in German, maybe you are too, but this small word is misleading here. It really isn't "more", which is multiplicative, but "increased" (additive). Those passives are no doubt great, but they don't give MORE damage, just increased. So you may want to change that to "increased" or "buffed" or "raised" or "enhanced" or something like that. Hoffe, das ist ok so, war konstruktiv und freundlich gemeint!
