[3.10] Herald of Agony Mana Guardian | 2.5 Minute Sirus 8 | Deathless T19 100% Delirium

I have String of Servitude belt with 15% increased strength and 15% increased intelligence.

Is this a good belt for this build? Or shall I sell it?

Anyone tried to run with dual wielding Cold Iron Points? That's +5 levels compared to +1 minion wand.
What would I lose from the shield in this case?

You lose a huge chunk of survivability. If you want to do that you're better off going with the necro hoa cyclone build. It's pretty good and maybe even a bit faster than this build but it doesn't have the defenses this build does. It is much cheaper to get running and also much cheaper to get hoa to lvl 31 for big damage increase.

I've played both and I prefer guardian as I like face tanking metamorphs and bosses without issue.

I just saw a crazy POB someone posted on Chinese forum. Double cold iron point, double circle of nostalgia, two levels amulet, corrupted armor, hatred/skitter/flesh and stone without helmet enchant, and he showed 25 million DPS with level 36 crawler and was still resist capped.

I don't know if it is because Chinese version of POB is bugged, but even if he had shock = 50% and some unrealistic buffs like frenzy charges, power charges, projectile weakness, vulnerability and feeding frenzy all at same time with carnage/host chieftains . . . I will definitely add it as a variant.

Will play around in POB. I would say our survivability is still better than 90% of the builds in the game, and it is a fun build for people who hit 100 already and don't care about death. I also think it can go deeper in delve as well seeing how raider/deadeye dominate deep delve with glass cannon builds.

Yea, that's the glass cannon version of this. Saw someone using it last league.

Jewel Sockets, belt, boots weere all used to cap resists instead of add mana/ES. The one I saw was at 8k ES. Last league that was ok if you just wanted to farm bosses. But he was unable to push past Delve 500. This league he will die very often against bosses and even Metamorphs I think.

Guys, another question (my noob pool is full of them).

How do we profit from EE? What am I missing here?

Thanks

You hit enemies with lightning damage from Ball Lightning causing them to get -50% resists for cold and fire. Our Crawler's damage is to a huge part cold damage from Hatred+Generosity and he himself can't trigger EE. So they will keep -50% cold resist even when he hits them.

Unfortunately most of those belts are pretty trash because they offer nothing else. Not sure if they even sell at all.

Experimenting a bit with Carnage Chieftains (without blood magic) for AG option. They don't seem to cast it more than once and then not for a long time. Do you need a fairly high level clarity for this to work? At 1% not reserved so clarity won't be high.

Otherwise fantastic build, with how rippy metamorphs are hard to play much else.

I used the apes on my Necro and what was mentioned is they have a pretty small Mana pool, the solution to this was linking the spectres with blood magic, it doesn't harm them that much, but makes them cast a lot more often, no idea what this has to do with clarity though.
