just started on a higher end upgrade. Still a ways to go, but once I get all of my gear corrupted I should have as much if not more life than with kaoms, along with all the extra dps, fortify, block, etc that I will be getting.

Nice shadowstitch!

You can try to get a higher life shield. I think those go up to or maybe above 200.

gear is pretty much as good as it will get this league now. Could get a better shield, another corrupted ring or jewel, but I doubt I will be doing much more. My final gear:





Possible swaps available depending on map mods:

Where are you generating endurance charges?

How can i change to Vaal Summon Skeletons when i can't maintain the number of souls i receive? Does that means that i need to rely on my Anciant Guardian and Golem to get me the necessary souls, because if so it dosn't make sense.

I do not use them, they are not necessary.

Vaal skills now give both the normal and vaal versions of the skill, so you just use your regular skeletons (which are more than enough to nuke bosses down on their own)

What does Immortal Call on your sceptre do for you then? Thanks!

It has a base duration of .74 seconds without any endurance charges, which is enough time to get out of a pack, regen some life, pop a flask, etc. I could replace a gem with enduring cry if I wanted to make endurance charges, but I haven't felt the need to do so.

I must be doing something wrong and missing something important. I'm not having as much effect/luck with this setup.

I've just tried the Minotaur, and he completely decimated me.
Which was quite discouraging as the Phoenix was ridiculously easy, and the Hydra was easy enough.
Any tips for this particular guardian? No Kaom's yet..

Biggest thing I see here is your shadowstich does not have any +gem levels and your empower is only level 3. This is a pretty huge impact on your damage and the tankiness of your skeletons. For example, if I use a level 3 empower and no +gems chest my skeletons go from 310k dps per skeleton to just 185k dps per skeleton (without any vaal skills active). Skeletons go from 6856 life to 4280 life.

Additionally, you are a bit low on life on your gear, and you don't have very many corrupted items for shadowstitch yet (it takes 7 corrupted pieces to be on par with a belly). You don't seem to have a jewel that gives minions a chance to blind on hit either.

I feel that using kaoms + femur would be a much better option for you with your current state of gear, if you can afford it. Without any +gems on your chest it just can't compete with femur and I don't feel that your other gear is yet to the point where shadowstich shines (I only get more HP than kaoms with at least 9 corrupted pieces at my current gear setup)

The reason I get as much life as I do is a combination of a lot of life on gear (including temple mod %life rings and multiple items with %life corrupt) and the fact that I have 7 corrupted items for shadowstitch. (Note: the temple mod life rings are actually not that pricey and you can pick useable ones up for less than 30c, its a really nice boost to your life. I only paid about 15c each for my rings and then corrupted them myself)
