[3.8] - Loads of new minion things. Use Feeding Frenzy on Herald of Purity. Minion Speed a much better link for Herald of Agony now. Convocation buff is nice. Guardian big buffs. Cyclone changes are irrelevant. - mana cost no longer works on Cyclone, back to needing Gemini claw.

I dropped maim on HoP and took feeding frenzy instead.

I put feeding frenzy on a Carrion Golem :s doesn't rely on hop minions to be up, has really good up time. Have to give something up for it though, I'm using it in place of any guard ability given I'm playing in softcore and this build feels stupidly tanky anyway.

Hi, since I am using 6 link Cyc on gloves and took me only 4 mana cost, I think we can change our weapon to something else, because 4 mana cost is not a problem anymore, might be annoy on can not regen map but its ok.
CAn you guys suggest some good weapon?

I might have missed something, not sure in the 90 odd pages where it might be explained.

You have elemental equilibrium in the build as well as an essence worm with hatred. As far as I know there's no way to stop yourself doing cold damage with the hatred without generosity, so EE in that case would be costing you damage.

Am I missing something obvious?

That being the case, if it's not worth it to get EE, I wonder if it's worth cutting off entirely at the node before shaper, and going across from the top of templar through witch instead?

Correct, EE is no use in this build. It was just a leftover in the PoB. Your new pathing would save a point, but only if you were not going to take Aligned spirits which I wouldn't recommend.

Here's my lvl 95 PoB.

I am using The Scourge, a unique claw, right now, which occasionally gives an extra minion and so far has the highest damage output of all claws I found.

I have not yet tried if other weapons would be viable as well.

Uber Elder down with two deaths, one of which I just ran into shaper balls lol(a personal best). This build is the best league starter I've ever played. This build is perfect for learning fights as its very forgiving with LgoH and being able to move while still dealing damage, while having decent clear and boss kill speed. The build was also very cheap, I crafted a multi-modded claw for the build but it unnecessary. I was considering min-maxing further but UE was so smooth I might just farm currency for an expensive build.

Will be playing this again next league for sure.

I have mostly played SC in the past, but this league has mostly been HC for me. Did a few summoners before I leveled up a Guardian with this build. And so far so good. Facetanked most of the content while leveling, with some exceptions like a8 doedre and a10 Kitava.

There are a few things when a summoner build (like necro skele) is better. For bosses like kitava a10, its safer to play a summoner, since you have to be at range with the cyclone. But then again if you don't get 1 shot by a boss u can regain your life pretty fast if you get hit.

To level this character in the beginning can also feel abit slow compared to other builds. The damage wasn't good until you equipped the coming calamity I feel, when you could use Herald of Purity as well. No chance of dying pretty much but low damage made the leveling process pre lvl 53 pretty slow compared to other builds.

For HC players, I 100% recommend this build. This or a summoner. Very tanky. Just got to maps so can't really say anything about mid-tier and end-game yet. Abit worried about the defensive layers since they only good thing is the leech and decent life pool. So if I get a huge hit from lets say ranged mobs, I might be f**ked hehe. Still I recommend this build for HC. +++++ out of +++++ so far :) Good build!

Done with this build. Uber elder down with 1 death (desync at balls) and other endgame maps. No hard time dealing with blighted maps. So far, the build was amazing and would be my go-to starter build for the next leagues to come.

Can someone explain to me the advantages of using Elemental Equilibrium for this build?
