[3.12] Guardian Support. 17 auras. Super tanky, insane damage & defense boost.

Im so confused as to why you would run all three puritys with all that aura effect and aoe effect but feel the need to also add purity of elements. it adds nothing doesnt it?

hey.
so, can u tell, whats builds are good for playing with support in 2s party.
Just trying to decide with teammate wich damage builds he can play with this support.

Hey,

I've been using your build as example to do mine.

Here is my actual situation: https://pastebin.com/hZwG6xX2

Any advice on what to do for the next levels? I can't figure out where to put the following points in the tree to have the maximum use of them.

Thanks.

Im a noob who only played a marauder and berserker so far and has learned to depend on endurance charges.

I am mostly still theory crafting my build. So i will get up to 90 to all elemental resists and i will be immune to chaos. That looks totally awesome.
But what will protect me against physical attacks ?

I loaded up the first POB (normal budget gear) into the POB fork and it's just shy of using every aura, has it listed as -5 mana reserved. Is there an aura active that normally wouldn't be on 100% of the time?

You get 1% physical damage reduction modified by aura effect (rounding down) multiplied by number of auras as a guardian with the Unwavering Faith ascendancy node. That really helps verses physical damage.

Thank you. That sounds good indeed.
Another question: I put some stuff together and started testing a little and that seems to work nicely indeed. I notice, that energy shield starts to recharge only after not taking damage for a while. (yep, im a noob, experiencing energy shield for the first time)
There is little or no "faster start of recharge" on this build. Are there other ways to deal with that ? I did buy a shield with 5%ES on block, that should help a bit i guess. What more can i do to increase ES sustain ?

Not my build so seems to rely on recharge (which has a delay) if that's not working for you move vitality out of chest (put something else there) and take zealots oath which changes life regen into es regen (but that's incompatible with skyforths).

I play a solo aurastacked guardian so its a little different. And the OP doesnt seem to be playing it this league so hard to see an accurate POB as the one in the post seems incomplete.

Thanx,

I dont know yet if it will be working for me. I suspect it will. I am just trying to learn everything i can about these types of builds. So for now i'll leave it as it is. Skyforths -reserved seems pretty essential here, maybe if i'm level 100 and managed to optimize gem slots it could be swapped but ill see that later.

What are you missing in the PoB in the post ? Aren't all the mission points simply in cluster jewels ? (i do miss a third cluster jewel being connected though, but thats for level 80-100 anyway)

Another question:
The physical mitigation from unwavering faith does not say "ADDITIONAL physical damage reduction..." like the mode you can have on rare armor or amulets. Does it go in the same multiplier as armor and endurance charges anyway? Or is it another multiplier ?

it adds to the physical damage mitigation stat, as an additive, say you have 200% inc aura effect and 15 auras it will add (15x(200/100+1)) 45% phys mit ontop of any granted by armour
