END GAME BOSS CLIPS
Guardian of the Phoenix
Guardian of the Minotaur
Guardian of the Chimera
 PROs -High damage -super tanky -high regen -possible to get up to 19k energy shield solo in temp league itens -can do all content (if you know the mechanics) CONs -Can't do reduced maximum resistances maps -Can't do no regen and less recovery mods ____________________________________________________________________________
Starting
I will try to cover the progression of the build like it would be in a League start. If you already have gear and it is later on the league, you could skip these parts and even level as LLRF if you want. In the start > Frostbolt+Flame Totem Until: FireStorm + Firestorm Totem -You get Firestorm when entering Merveil Cave at end of act 1 and Spell totem when entering Prision At act 2 you add Herald of Thunder + Herald of Ice also you can start leveling your Righteous Fire Gem in offhand wands. So, at act 2: Link 1: Firestorm Added Lightning Elemental Focus Link 2: Spell Totem Firestorm Added lightning Sockets (don't need to be linked): -Herald of Thunder -Herald of Ice Off-hand Wands(just to start leveling Gems) -Righteous Fire (act2) -Elemental Focus (act2) -Concentrated Effect (act2) Your tree should look like this at start: Level 8 TREE > http://poeurl.com/b0KY Level 24 TREE > http://poeurl.com/b0KZ
Leveling
Leveling is all about preferences. I've seen some people leveling as Arc totens, some people leveling as Sunder, other as Flameblast totens, Firestorm Totens, etc. I choose to become RF Totens because the damage is good enough and makes it super easy to finish all acts, do all bosses and everything even in the start of leagues. You can keep using the Firestorm + Firestorm totens until you feel. A good idea is to become RF totem at level 38, that way you can use the Increased Area of Effect Gem and Orb of Storms + Curse on Hit Setup.
Level 38
Level 38 TREE > http://poeurl.com/b0K0 In this Level you need to focus on getting: GEAR: -Aurumvorax Sword https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Aurumvorax -Springleaf Plank Kite Shield https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Springleaf -2x Kikazarus Topaz Ring https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Kikazaru -Shaper's Seed Agate Amulet https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Shaper%27s_Seed -The rest can be rares with high Life & Resistances GEMS: Link 1: -Righteous Fire (act 2) -Spell Totem (act 1) -Increased Area (act 4) *Swap to Concentrated Effect for Bosses, or just use Elemental Focus -Burning Damage (act 3 Library) Link 2: -Orb of Storms (act 1) -Curse on Hit (act 4) -Flammability (act 3) Link 3: -Shield Charge (act 1) -Fortify (act 3 Library) -Faster Attacks (act 2) Sockets (don't need to be linked) -Decoy Totem (act 1) -Stone Golem (act 4) -Purity of Fire (act 3) -Vitality (act 3)

Converting into Lowlife
At the begin of Leagues and Races, you probly should stay with RF Totems until high levels 85+ I already used it to go up to tier 7-8 maps. So it is good and strong to start a league. With that you can just farm low-mid tiers to get the gear you need to convert for LLRF (Also make sure you save some Orb of Regrets, because you are going to need some). If you already have the gear and it is later on the League, you can just respec earlier at level 69ish or even level as LLRF without needin to respec out lots of points.
Lowlife Righteous Fire
The best way to start LLRF in League Starts and Races is to stack %ES nodes. If you have a friend playing Mana Guardian Support with you, that is the best way even for the real End-game content. But if you are a Solo Player, and don't have a Mana Guardian Support Friend to play with, the best LLRF build, in my opinion, is the Mana stacking Version. I will try to cover most of the things in this guide, but for any questions, critics or sugestions I am everyday on my stream www.twitch.tv/bax_cd
Version: %ES Stacking
For Starting the %ES Stacking This is the 'Core' Tree of the build. Level 77 TREE > http://poeurl.com/b0La From that you can Choose of Getting nodes like Melding and Place an Energy From Within Jewel next to it, the Quick Recovery and Also put Energy From Within Jewel there. You can choose to pick Harrier node if you want more Speed for your mapin, or Blast Radius for Increasing AoE and Damage. Depending on your Gear you can choose for starting the Build by the %ES nodes path instead the Regen ones, also the %Reduced Mana Reserved Nodes on the Aura Wheel depends on your gear, for example if you have Enlighten 3 Avaiable, or If your helm is crafted with Deafening Essence of Loathing, etc. It is really about preferences, and depend on the gear you choose. The Choices can be based on the Itens you have avaiable in the time you make the build. GEAR: Weapon: Choices: -Ephemeral Edge Dusk Blade https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Ephemeral_Edge -The Dark Seer (Energy Shield & Mana Version) https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/The_Dark_Seer -Doryani Catalyst https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Doryani%27s_Catalyst -Rare Shaper Scepter with Lots of %Elemental Dmg/%Burning Dmg/%Dmg over time/%Fire dmg, etc Shield: Choices: -Rise of the Phoenix https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Rise_of_the_Phoenix -Saffel's Frame https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Saffell%27s_Frame -Prism Guardian https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Prism_Guardian Helmet: Choices: -High ES Hubris Circlet https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Hubris_Circlet -Deafening Essence of Loathing Crafted Hubris Circlet https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Deafening_Essence_of_Loathing -The Vertex Mask https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/The_Vertex -Memory Vault https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Memory_Vault Boots: -Sin Trek Stealth Boots https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Sin_Trek Gloves: -High ES Sorcerer Gloves -Essence of Delirium Crafted Sorcerer Gloves (when you have the currency to make) https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Essence_of_Delirium Rings: -+3 Level of Socketed Gems/+2 Level of Socketed Gems Unset Ring *You need a +3 Level of Socketed Gems Unset Ring if you only have Purity of Fire lvl 20, If you have Purity of Fire level 21, you can use a +2 Level of Socketed Gems Unset Ring. -The Pariah The Pariah is a good ring to put your Discipline on and get a Huge ES Boost at start it is really good. -Rare Opal Rings, Moonstone Rings or Two-Stoned Rings with: High Flat ES, Intelligence & Resistances, If possible even crafted with Essence of Anger for % Fire Dmg. Amulet: Choices: -Rare Marble Amulet with: High Flat ES, Intelligence & Resistances, If possible even crafted with Essence of Anger for % Fire Dmg. -Presence of Chayula Belt: Choices: -Shaper Rare Belt with % Energy Shield Recovery Rate (This is really good for your Regen) -Bated Breath Chain Belt https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Bated_Breath Body Armour: Choices: -Solaris Lorica (Start) https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Solaris_Lorica -Shavronne's Wrapping https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Shavronne%27s_Wrappings GEMS: The Gems setup is dependent of the Gear you chose to use, and the Tree, so you have to balance the Mana&Life Reservation to be able to use the gems, for example using Bloodmagic level 21, or Enlighten 3. It depends a lot on the gear you are using, if you crafted Helmet with Deafening Essence of Loathing you can even use Arctic Armour, or if you have an Mana reservation Enchanted Helmet, etc... I will place the Gems(skills) you need to use and than you can fit it better on the way your build is You can choose by usings gems like Culling strike on the Orb of storms, or Decoy Totem, Vaal Lightning Trap, etc. It is really about your preferences. Link 1: (Body Armour) -Scorching Ray -Elemental Focus -Burning Damage -Controlled Dectruction -Efficacy If 6 Linked: -Swift Affliction Link 2: -Righteous Fire -Elemental Focus -Burning Damage -Increased Area of Effect *Swap Increased AoE for Concentrated Effect on Bosses Link 3: -Purity of Ice -Purity of Lightning -Blood Magic 21 -Enlighten 3 Link 4: -Orb Of Storms -Curse on Hit -Flammability -Clarity level 1 Link 5: -Purity of Fire Link 6: -Shield Charge -Faster Attacks -Fortify Link 7: -Discipline -Vitality -Decoy Totem An idea of a Starting Leveling Build in %ES Stacking Version: Level 83 PasteBin > https://pastebin.com/C4yYizzg Remember, All the builds can Always be Upgraded and Min-Maxed. All content in this guide is the 'basics' and you can always upgrade it and make it better.
Version: Mana Stacking
The Mana Stacking Version in my opinion is the best build for Solo-Play LLRF Guardian, It is really good to make in mid-league because require some itens for example 'Shaper's Touch Gloves' which can only be obtained by doing shaper, or buyin from someone that did. Here is an idea of a Mana Stacking Version Tree without any crazy expansive gear Mana Stacking Version Pastebin: The Mana Version of LLRF Guardian is the most strong version for solo players. It can scale up to 20k+ ES with the proper gear. Level 100 Optimized TREE > http://poeurl.com/b0Mz Level 95 Mana TREE > https://pastebin.com/d5HFkuHH Gear: Body-Armour: -Shavronne's Wrappings Occultist's Vestment https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Shavronne%27s_Wrappings Gloves: -Shaper's Touch Crusader Gloves https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Shaper%27s_Touch Boots: -Rare Sorcerer Boots Priority of Stats: Inteligence, Mana, Movement speed, Resistances. The ES roll is good but not that much important since the build gets most of the ES from Mana Weapon: -Doon Cuebiyari Vaal Sceptre https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Doon_Cuebiyari Shield: -Prism Guardian For Uber Elder you will want to swap for a Saffel's Frame -Elder Rare Titanium Shield with +2% Max Fire Res: That is a good choice if you want to boost even more your ES pool, but remember you will lose armour because with Prism Guardian you use Determination, with the Elder Rare Titanium Shield you will need to Drop Determination, and will need to invest a bit more into Reducing Mana reservation. Belt: -Rare Shaped Heavy Belt Priority of Stats: %Increased ES Recovery Rate, Strength, Flat Energy Shield, %Energy Shield I put the % Energy shield after Flat Energy shield, even though it is better, because it is much harder to get one with %ES. And you will be just fine with a Flat ES one. Rings: -2x Rare Moonstone Rings Strength, Intelligence, Flat ES, Mana -If you are going to do Uber Elder, you have 2 choices: Using 2x Unset rings with +2 Level of Socketed gems with lvl 21 Purity of Ice and lvl 21 Purity of Fire, or 2x Unset rings with +3 Socketed Gems with lvl 20 Purity of Ice and lvl 20 Purity of fire. You can also choose to use a Dream Fragments Sapphire Ring https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Dream_Fragments it will be really helpful again the Freezing from Shaper and Elder Spells. Amulet: -Presence of Chayula https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Presence_of_Chayula Helmet: -Memory Vault https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Memory_Vault GEMS LINKS: *The Gems links is based on your preferences, and on what you are doing. This is what I usually use for Shaper Fights, but it can be changed to other setups of your preferences Body-Armour: Here you want to use your RF 6Linked, Since you have a badass pool of ES it will deal a crazy amount of DoT DPS -Righteous Fire -Burning Damage -Elemental Focus -Arcane Surge -Swift Affliction -Increased Area of Effect *Switch Inc AoE gem for Concentrated Effect for Bosses Weapon(Doon): -Scorching Ray -Burning Damage -Elemental Focus Boots: -Orb of Storms -Culling Strike -Decoy Totem -Clarity Gloves: -Shield Charge -Faster Attacks -Fortify -Vaal Lightning Trap Helmet: -Enlighten 3 -Purity of Ice -Purity of Lightning -Vitality Shield: -Determination -Purity of Fire -Discipline Remember, All the builds can Always be Upgraded and Min-Maxed. All content in this guide is the 'basics' and you can always upgrade it and make it better.
Mana Guardian Support
In either of the Versions, you can always ask one of your friends to play Mana Guardian Support to go with you. Together you guys can do Any content of the game really, Here is PasteBin with an idea of the Mana Guardian Support Mana Guardian Support https://pastebin.com/rtRqHxhC Remember, All the builds can Always be Upgraded and Min-Maxed. All content in this guide is the 'basics' and you can always upgrade it and make it better.
BANDIT
KILL ALL for 2 passive points
PANTHEON
You can choose the Pantheons depending on the content you plan on doing. For example for UberLabs using minor as Soul of Ralakesh and Major as Soul of Solaris. The Pantheons really depend on what you are planing to do. For maping I usually choose these: Major: Soul of Arakaali Minor: Soul of Tukohama  
Spoiler
Normal lab: Time of need Cruel lab: Radiant faith Merciless lab: Unwavering faith Uber lab: Bastion of hope  _____________________________________________________________ One of the Keys to get a massive energy shield pool is this watcher's Eye mod  Gain #% of maximum mana as extra energy shield while affected by clarity But you can do the build just fine without it. It is only going to have a bit less ES pool, but will still be really strong and able to do end-game content.

Hello,
I ran the tests from the lvl95 PoB tree and I found a way get ~500 more ES : https://pastebin.com/nbVbH728 We put the 4th Healthy Mind jewel on Melding rather than Quick recovery. We have to give up Coldhearted Calculation in order to do so at lvl95. Awesome build by the way. I currently have 12k3 ES at lvl 93 but i'm to scared to do guardians or shaper for the first time.

" Hello brotha!!! That is a good idea aswell, the other tree I placed in the quick recovery because it is 3 points and also gives us a little Regen, which sometimes is hard to get with these version. But you can choose that theres a lot of others choices people can make, it is important to keep in mind the preferences if you want a bit more ES or a bit more regen, etc.. But good point! thank you a lot! for any questions or just to chat some I am always avaiable in my stream =) Regards, Bax www.twitch.tv/bax_cd |

So far I manage to have this build to run up to T8/9 with the current items:
To improve, I don't know exactly what I need. But I would say, I need of course Presence of Chayula, but is out of my range, Sin Trek for another boots with Intelligence > Mana > Resistances > ES, but it look. I can't replace Rise of the Phoenix because of degen. I need the purity to 21/20 but ex range. Last edited by Facon on Jul 20, 2018, 6:24:07 AM

" Sorry for the long time to answer you. The best improve for any LLRF is to get a SHAPER BELT with % Energy shield Recovery Rate. That will make you regen a LOT more and be much more tanky and safe!!! Wish you a good luck on delve! BAX_CD |
