Leveling for this build now, but I've never used Timeless Jewels before because I didn't enjoy Legion. How important is the specific roll on it? From checking the wiki I know that having it be "Xibaqua" is the most important part, but does it matter how many were sacrificed?

Thanks for your comment.
Start with POB "Low Cost Starter Gear".

Using TImeless Jewel is the next step.
Convert Avatar of Fire to Divine Flesh using Glorious Vanity Timeless Jewel (Xibaqua).

Divine Flesh
All Damage taken bypasses Energy Shield
50% of Elemental Damage taken as Chaos Damage
+ 10% to maximum Chaos Resistance

Divine Flesh requires 148% chaos resistance.
148% = 60% (Quest) + 75% (Base) + 3% (Shield) + 10% (Divine Flesh)

A lot of chaos resistance is needed.
For that purpose, please prepare Purity of Elements Watcher's eye.

You can get up to 50% chaos resistance.

About timeless jewel specific roll
Finding the mod you want is hard.
The jewel with the mod you want may be 3-5%.

I think it's good to get chaos resistance with Rare equipment and Rare Jewel.

Glorious Vanity will change all passives in range.
The Timeless jewel I use
+30 to Dexterity (Agility)
>>
+ 1% to maximum chaos resistance
+ 19% to chaos resistance
You can get this amount of chaos resistance with 1 passive point.

Oil can double chaos resistance.
But I do n’t think it ’s strong.

Cleansed Thoughts --- Chaos Resistance is doubled
cost
Clear Oil, Azure Oil, Golden Oil
The required chaos resistance is 104%.
104% = 60% + (75% + 3% + 10%) / 2

Enjoy

with the introduction of infernal legion support in 3.8, this build can now sustain weapons in boss content like uber elder and do them. This is an idea i copied from a taiwanese forum

Great idea! !
I feel that "chains of command" will be stronger.

Hi I am still reletively new to this game. I was wondering why this build does not require the socketed gems to be linked in the chestpiece. Also is the corrupted resolute technique unique sword necessary? Do we not need to 6 link that too?

Thanks for your comment.

You should try it with the low cost starter gear POB.
There is a link in the guide.

Body armor does not need 6 links.
Works with 6 sockets.

At first, RT + Oro's is not necessary.
If Animate Guadian has a low gem level, it will die.
You will lose what you were wearing at that time.

Equip RT + Oro's after Animate Guadian thinks it will not die.

Hi loving this build and i just killed Elder in yellow maps :D
And lots of blighted Maps up to T14 in party.

But i have 2 questions.
1. In Pob link for high gear. animate weapon is only level 7
chests states lvl 18 on weapon copy and 20 from guardian copy.

2. In forum guide you have "Asenaths gentle touch" for guardian, but in
pob you have selected "Storms gift" so what is best??

Thanks for this great build and keep up doing off meta stuff.
love your builds :D

1.
This is to know the correct DPS.
Minions that spawn from Chains of command are not Animate weapons.
The correct one is Animate guardian's weapon.
Animate weapons and Animate guardian's weapons are separate minions.

https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Animate_Weapon
lv7% base damage 148%
lv8% base damage 156%

https://poedb.tw/us/unique.php?n=Chains_of_Command
Animate Guardian's Weapon lv20 Deals 160% of Damage
Animate Guardian's Weapon lv18 Deals 154% of Damage

POB is not compatible with Animate guradian's weapon.
If you use Animate weapon gem lv7-8, you can know DPS with POB.

2.
I'm sorry, I made a mistake in POB.
"Asenaths gentle touch" is the correct answer.
We will fix it soon.

A little advice.
If the level of Animate Guradian is low, Animate Guradian will die in an explosion that occurs after killing the elder.
When you defeat the elder and enter Zana's shield, you should remove the helmet containing the Animate Guradian Gem and turn off the AG.

ahh okay thanks for the quick reply.
i guessed it was something like that about the animate lvl.
Been using the synthesis gloves for low lvl guardian and they are
okay for some extra shock also quite cheap.

my guardian survived the blast but it was only T8 Elder so.
Gonna keep it in mind for higher elders later.

Also got lucky buying a second timeless jewel and hoping
it would have +1 max chaos res. and so it did :D
super tanky now. just missing the 2x purity watchers.
as lowbudget i went for purity chaos res and
clarity damage taken gained as Mana over 4 seconds.
also have that on ring so 21% atm.

Thanks again. Cheers

Looks like a great build, exactly what I like - minions and high defenses :) I have a long term goal of playing any and all minion build and this one is likely next on the list.

One question - why the kinetic blast? I assume for EE but I don't see you using it a lot in the video's. Would applying EE w shield charge not be enough? Would free up a CwdT setup for the Molten shell. I assume the build is tanky enough for that.

Also considering moving to claw for life and mana on hit, and cyclone. Played that this league on a summoner and it was super good sustain. But need to check PoB how much damage that loses.

EDIT: and a follow-up question: I know the Scion/Pathfinder part is for Withering Jar flask sustain, but how "mandatory" is it in your experience? Am considering Witch, would be an easier league start.

Thanks for your comment.

KB has three effects.
1) Enfeeble on hit
2) EE
3) Intimidate
Other than that
4) Instructions to minions
5) Destruction of barrels
Shield charge cannot produce this effect over a wide area.

Vaal Molten Shell is used by bosses, Blight, Legion, and Betrayal.
It becomes EHP16000 in Vaal Molten Shell.
Life7000 + Mana1000 + VMS8000

This build is not very strong against physical damage.
Legion and Betrayal do very powerful physical attacks.
At that time, VMS is required.

I have never tested a cyclone.
I think the weak point of the cyclone is to defeat the worm.

I made a similar build with Necromancer.
[3.4] Chains of Command Animate Weapon Necromancer Build
https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2247146

It is different from the current necromancer.
However, I felt the weakness of instance movement.
Shaper and Elder Guardian were hard fights.

After that, you can change to Pathfinder + Necromancer and defeat Shaper and Elder Guardian easily.
Pathfinder provides easy access to hideouts and Abyssal Depths on map farms.

Instant flasks can be used continuously without defeating enemies.
[Poweful Life flask Demonstration]

Use the life flask when the chimera is hidden in the mist.
This build can withstand a long period of time because so many life flasks can be used.
This build is tanky because it has Instant Life + Mana Flask.
