[3.10] Herald of Agony Mana Guardian | 2.5 Minute Sirus 8 | Deathless T19 100% Delirium

Did my first awakener 8 deathless, slightly sloppy with the storms (which cost me a spectre) but overall clean and felt good. I'm still a bit behind on my atlas progression so I had to buy 4 ivory watchstones to jump it up to 8.

I think my setup is a fair bit more budget than a lot of the people in this thread. I'm sitting at around ~15 ex total investment:

14.2k es. No empower 4, no enlighten, no watcher's eye, no corrupted chest, +1 wand. Still able to tank the "DIE" beam on awakener 8, and still enough DPS to make it a ~5 minute fight.

Cyclopean coil is pretty solid for the fight IMHO. The "DIE" beam can shock you (I think it can do all ailments), so getting that shock immunity makes it a lot more face-tankable.

Paid 2c for these. All I have to do is suffixes cant be changed (2ex) -> scour -> multimod (2ex) -> Cannot Be Frozen + Cannot be Chilled/Movement speed (8c)

So for ~4ex, I've managed to get some pretty solid (eventual) no chill/freeze boots

Changed from storm brand guardian to this build. The mapping was a bit slower but I'm using elusive on crit (25% crit chance) and it procs quite often and feels much smoother. What I also like about the build is that you really feel every upgrade.

I killed Sirus with an empower 3 and most gems were lvl ~15 except hoag (lvl 21). All his attacks couldn't 1 hit.

Was looking for a tanky boss killer when my past build kept was struggling heavily on the Sirius fight. Found this guide and fell in love with it instantly. Having no problems at killing Sirius 8. If anyone is struggling to get more ES on the build just remember that high mana on the ring and belt is more important than finding high ES. Made my own mistake when I bought a 1ex crystal belt and it only gave me about 500 ES, while my current one gives about 1000 ES.

This is my gear altogether probably cost me about 18ex or so.


Here's the pastebin if anyone is interested: https://pastebin.com/i6piHD9b

any chance someone could hook me up with the stoneskin flayers? Geek_MG in game, would really appreciate it.

Youre crazy to craft them that way lol. Just set up poetrade with boots with the mana/%mana prefix, total res 85+. Then put open prefixes at 1 and 1 open suffix. Then just annul and hope to hit the bad prefix. Or set it to 2 open prefix and hope to annul the bad suffix.

Then you have a rare boot with 2 open prefixes, one open suffix and a hybrid flat and % mana along with 2 t1/2 res rolls

You can buy boots with those parameters for 2c easily and anulls are cheap too.



Think I bought like 10 boots total for 25c, 10 annuals for 70c and ended up with 3 pairs of boots

Is this build playable in ssfhc?

No.

You need very specific uniques to make this build work. I'd advice against it. I think atm for that skellies summoner is still your best option, simply because while they can be a little bit more fragile, they also can grab various easy to acquire rares and still kill all bosses in game.

may I kindly ask someone share the stoneskin flayers, plz? TkjtEz_PureGuardian in game, much appreciated.

Update: Thanks to antMana, got stoneskin spectres now.

So I've finally gotten this build up to the same level as my witch summoner and I think I can say pretty clearly this is the superior build. Cheaper? No certainly not. I'd also not run blight maps with this and use my witch instead for those but I'm basically doing everything else with this one (except no regen maps because forget that). Since making the switch to the no chill/freeze boots and bastion of hope I haven't died once.

I'm also not some uber geared person. I've certainly dropped quite a few ex on this build but I'm running no lvl4 emp or enlight, no +1 gloves, no +2 body, 9 of my gems are still lvl 19, I don't have that insane 30+ ex necklace or the really expensive jewel, and some of my gear pieces aren't rolled optimally. I'm sitting at a little under 12k ES too. I think my level of gear is very achievable by most people thinking of playing this.

Don't make it your first league character but once you have a steady ability to make some money this is a great build to dump that currency into. I guess for those interested I'll link my gear too.

My around level 90 love the build and have been working my way up to get more items. Right now I'm struggling to do damage to T16 metamorphs. I can kill most but it seems to take forever. I know I have a few upgrades to go but what should be my first priority for more HoA damage? I'm missing the ring which is kinda preventing me from parsing out the rest of the build.
