Last night I was playing with other ways to boost everything even further and I did swap out fortify from my zombie link for guardian with kingmaker. Holy moly it amplified everything even further. More dmg, more survival everything. It's expensive but well worth imo.

You do risk the guardian dying and losing everything. Most expensive piece was kingmaker at around 160-180c. I can tell you all I ran last night was around 40-50 juiced as F T16s and it never once budged from full health. I was running full sextant'd, alch, vaal, scarabed + zana modded T16s. As I have it linked in my zombie links it's supported with minion life and meatshield so it's just a buff bot really. Still gives zombies fort, now gives all your minions fort, including you, and also gives everything cull, 50 crit mult and depending on the rest you gear it with some movespeed, endurance charges if it gets hit etc.

My bad, I had missed that post. It answers my question in my previous post. Definitely interesting. What else would you give him to get movespeed, endurance charges or whatever more you can think of?
The fortify you could get via a Shield Charge setup, the Culling Strike by removing Brutality on Carrion Golems, but the +50% crit multi on skeletons is +16% dps alone... It's so hard to find ways to give them crit multi. And +30% rarity is always a nice bonus.
I am semi-erect, please go on.
(Sold a Kingmaker to a guy yesterday, hope the price didn't go up too much lol.)

Victario's Flight is 10% shared movespeed.
Ambu's Charge chest is a shared Endurance Charge every time the Animate Guardian takes a crit.

how do i get POB to calculate impale on minions? and hatred?

For everyone wondering why you get 1 shoted with 6k life 2k es 1.5k mana, the reason is chaos res.

I capped my chaos rez and now I literally don't get scratched by anything.

Pure phys morph's cannot one shot me.

And since Sirus only get's some damage and just life from awakening levels it shouldn't be hard to takle him once i made him on awaken 1.

Even so they are nerfing him for lower levels.

The safety of my Necromancer with ++75% chaos res VS my undergeared Arc Miner with -72% chaos res is kinda crazy...

The forked version of POB that people keep linking, supports Impale DPS: https://github.com/LocalIdentity/PathOfBuilding

You can always equip a new item and the previous item is lost.


I guess overall my point was it seems like a lot of people playing this build know an Animate Guardian with Kingmaker is powerful but they are afraid of losing gear when it dies.

Thanks for that info. Is there a natural way to simulate in PoB the gear it has? Or I just edit currently equipped items to give them the bonuses provided by the Guardian? In that case I'll probably add all his auras + the other 21% I'm missing in Pride to a dump jewel.

Not sure that many people know of it actually, I hadn't seen it mentioned before the last couple of pages, and even at first I didn't understand what it was. +20% something dps by removing the useless Brutality linked to Zombies is huge.

You can get a quick boost on DPS/etc by buying some failed level 20/0 corrupted skill gems... 20/0 Vaal Skeletons, Carrion Golem, Zombies, Spectres are all 2-4c

Carrion Golem should be in your +2 minion helmet, to eek out some extra base phys damage on your skeletons...

You can adopt the currently accepted Dread Banner + Generosity aura ++ Impale in place of Feeding Frenzy on your skeletons, for a DPS boost.

If you're plugging your character into POB, make sure to go into configuration, and turn on Power/Frenzy charges, Enemy is Maimed, and Feeding Frenzy checkboxes... these make a big difference on the calculations...

Another common discussion, lately, is removing Fortify/Brutality from your Zombie Links, and adding Animate Guardian, for another boost to DPS and survivability... just animate Dying Breath / Kingmaker + Leer Cast + Victario's Flight + Ambu's Charge / Belly of the Beast + Southbound / Vulnerability on Hit gloves... the first option is cheaper, in each case with multiple options... Animate Guardian can have weapons, and regular armor slots, no jewelry...

How do i know the radius of the gem Pride?

Inaugurating page 200 with a screenshot:

I corrected Pride calculation and added the benefits of Animate Guardian with Kingmaker and stuff. Did these corrections in an edited jewel. PoB below for verification if you're curious. That's with 1 staff, 2 wands would be higher obviously.

At this point considering seriously every defensive option I can get lol. Maybe switching back to wand & shield for extra armour and life, switching chest crafted mod to 8% life/mana...
A shame PoB doesn't show any Fortify benefit even if you tick the right box. I seem to remember it was showing correctly in 3.7 Legion league?

If it's a 20/20 Pride the radius extends quite far. You won't see a circle or radius on screen but enemis turn to a reddish glow similar to the colour of the small circle around your feet when casting the aura. You'll see it reaches reasonably far.

Hi man, read you and all the other post since the beginning, my profile is open so you can check my Necro :)

I just switched gem, and removed the cast when damage taken, spirit offering and enfeeble, to replace it with pride / generosity / dread banner

It seems like animate guardian is a great addition, do you think i should replace pride by it ? i don't have any free socket for it, or maybe should i socket it in my zombie boots instead of brutality ?

Thanks!
