[3.11] Bashtart's HERALD OF PURITY GUARDIAN: cheap starter & endgame boss farmer with insane dps!
This doesn't work. The ring doesn't have that high of a mana reserve reduction anymore. so the build just doesn't function anymore as it is described here. 24% is the best you can commonly get. So the whole measure of skills is off. Don't Bother with this build until they fix it.

" Discord Artisan and/or anoint Charisma solves that. You can also use thread of hope (medium) and get ravenous horde on top |

" Frankly - i just have never committed the time to Animate Guardian. I think there are a few things that may or may not hold it back. I dont know if you get a high enough level on the AG to guarantee survival, at which point you're throwing away items periodically. If you can keep one up - maybe its worth it. The other downfall is that we get Onslaught with 5 allies/minions. With RS + SG/CG, you're at 4-5 off the bat for perma onslaught. Arena masters do give a pretty healthy boost to AS/MS. I think if you can afford the kingmaker/leergaze/vicatrios then yes - it might make sense to go AG over a golem, and it would stack well with RS. You can proc your FF with RS or AG - grabbing a Stoneskin Flayer seems to keep the most uptime on FF for me. I do think you're on to something and i started working up the craft for a Pride Res ammy this morning, still deciding which of the final suffixes i'll need/want. EDIT: There is theoretically a way to get both Pride, +Str Gems, and +Phys. But it wouldn't be easy to craft since PRide and Str live on the same base. Add Modifier/Rem Modifier from Influence pool is probably the easiest way to hit it, and getting lucky Phys slams for the Phys Gem would be the way to do it. I'd say for ease/convenience, SG > AG. If you have the currency and the +3 minion helm, AG should be good. Last edited by fong249#6708 on Jul 12, 2020, 3:44:07 PM

" I am running both SG and AG... My current setup is AG and SG in my helmet with meat shield and RS and FF with the CG on my weapon... I haven't had ANY issues keeping my AG up at all (and I only recently RNG'd a 21/20). Remember that AG is a PHYS gem, so I my AG is lvl 30 (6 from daggers, 1 from ammy, and 2 from my +2 minion helmet, which could be 3 if I was rich enough to buy the base...) With the RS of They of Thull and 2 Arena masters the AG also is hard to kill and hits fast and often... My current links are as follows and I keep everything up and haven't had any suitability or DPS issues: Weapon 1: CWDT, molten shell, convocation Weapon 2: FF, CG, MS (the MS is a throwaway, not sure if I could benefit from a no-link or something else here) Helmet: RS, AG, SG with meatshield Armor: 6L HOP Gloves (which have Blind and Faster casting): Brutality, BV, Unleash, Flame dash (benefits from both blind and faster casting) Boots: Enlighen 3, dread banner, pride, flesh and stone I also have lvl 20 aspect of spider on my ammy... This leaves me with 67/842 mana reserved which is enough to cast BV or flame dash... Ironically the worst mod I can get from a sextant is instant mana pots because I wind up chain casting to keep BV up, otherwise my mana pot (not coming off when youre at full mana) keeps me up all the time... EDIT: about AG cost The only expensive thing on my AG currently is Kingmaker which costed me .8ex buying the pieces myself and forging... I think for the 100% uptime fortify alone, he is worth it.

where does your sheet dps end up?
|
|
" Not 100% sure how to calculate that correct as when I do an import into something like path of building, it shows me at -23% mana so I don't know what else is wrong... If you know how to do the calculation for the HoP or the overall build I'd be glad to calculate it. |

Send me your pastebin and i'll give it a go.

What would you consider the priority of auras, i`m almost there to run all 4 of them.
Herald of Purity (ofc must be ;d ) but now 1.Flesh and Stone 2.Pride 3.Dread Banner i can only run 2 of these 3 and can`t really choose ... IGN: TheRevolt

from my PoB it was Pride > dread banner > flesh and stone.
|

Been enjoying the build. I take down almost anything fairly easily. Where can I improve from here do you guys think?
