QoL: Give us a way to conveniently see what items the AG is wearing

AG = Animate Guardian https://pathofexile.fandom.com/wiki/Animate_Guardian

Problem:
There are moments where people forget what the AG is wearing and then it's a bit troublesome (especially for inexperienced players) to figure that out just by zooming in on him and looking at the items (and he's also moving around and the sight obstructed by other minions and effects).

Solution:
Maybe give us a button that opens a window similar to our inventory to see what he is currently wearing. Or a tertiary weapon slot that instead of having weapons leads to the AG's inventory.


P.S.:
If there is already a way to conveniently see his items, please let me know, and then sorry for the redundant post ;-)

This would be awesome

A simple UI like for the mercenary in Diablo but once the item is on the AG it's locked.

same system, better UI

thank you

From one of my minion threads, just some food for thought on the topic.

Ignore the mana-reservation bit that tied in with another request for guardian in the thread.

"

The Minion Altar:
Not really sure what to call this but its a bench essentially where you can manage your animate guardians equipment as long as you are in your hideout and the guardian is active it will show tabs(I II III)etc for each guardian you have summoned and when you click on each tab it will show a basic equipment screen with the guardian in questions gear.

This could require the gem being placed in the altar or just the player interacting with the altar, When all of the equipment is removed from a guardian it would be de-animated and the corresponding tab greyed out, The tab could also handle animating the guardian by filling the desired equipment slots and clicking animate.. if the player can reserve the mana required t hen the guardian would animate with the desired equipment.

Animate guardian not only needs what the OP is asking for but could use fleshing out into a literal minion archetype beyond a rarely used dps minion and primarily (buff pet)

If this function is only in the hideout and the items can be lost on death then i don't think it would have a very negative impact.

I want to see more than one guardian animated one day though i would expect this to come at the cost of a unique item or ascendancy.

Correct, You have to remember.

Not really a big deal but the skill could be a lot more than it is presently with just the OP's desired changes regardless of implementation.. Though an altar in your hideout would probably be best.

Not trying to make light of its annoyance or anything, Its definitely been a problem for a long time.

Many threads by many people for many years almost all of them asking for the same thing in some words or another to manage the AG a little more reliably.

Another thing about it is why don't we have (this item drops when AG dies) crafts for all of the equipment types?

POB anyone?
Go to items, manage. Make yourself a guardian loadout. Paste all the items before u drop em. Then select said item loadout in calcs for your ag gem.
How do you check stuff like hp, overcapped resis, hp reg, armor and eva? Calculate it in your head? While remembering every item it wears?
I mean, you want it to survive, do you? ;)

There are so so so many glaring issues with this game. For real.
But. . . this is not one of them.
