[3.10] Herald of Agony Mana Guardian | 2.5 Minute Sirus 8 | Deathless T19 100% Delirium
|
My gear atm in league, actually spent most of the day doing t16s and even a ghosted elder (idk a prophecy popped during fight and i had to fight 2 elders, no prob for mana guardian here ofc :D) with cyclone linked instead of pierce in my main link lmao, cause I used it to get a watchstone that was stuck. Pierce is definitely nice...... Probably gonna buy a level 21 raise spectre next and continue grinding xp for a level 3 enlighten and empower. Already feels good with roughly ~12k es, need to redo my mana a bit now though, and still juggling flask affixes as I get used to CI again. |

Just got home from vacation so I got a late league start. I think I'm going to roll this build when I get home. Seems like the general consensus is its better to not use it as a starter? Was looking at a few other guardian threads ti pick a starter then hop over to this later and start min maxing. See you in a week :)

I see people using Elemental Equilibrium with Cold Iron Point. Would't this make EE not trigger off Ball Lightning as CIP makes you do no elemental damage?

All of the uniques cost a ton on meta league, can this be played into yellow maps with rares so I can farm for the currency? Or does it not do well at68+ without the gear?

" Since this build basically only needs 3 core flasks (Rumi's, Movement, Sulphur), what about dropping a flask or two for "The Writhing Jar" for bosses? You get two worms each charge, so that's around a 50% chance you'll get Unholy Might for another 4s, and you have two tries per flask. 'Cause I was looking at the point distribution on the tree, and a lot of the nodes put heavily into more mana only really add like a few hundred ES and armor here and there, which feels like it'd be better spent on a little more damage.

" Well, you can try it. It does make sense, so go for it if you want to convert some defense into more offense. There is nothing wrong with adjusting the build to what you need or like. But I like the huge amount of chance to evade from my Jade flask too much. And my 5th is at the moment firmly taken by a Quartz Flask. I hate playing minion builds without being able to run through mobs, and the Dodge chance is neat too :D Last edited by Mecielle#3021 on Dec 18, 2019, 5:56:23 PM

The one nice thing is that it's great for Metamorph bosses, since they spawn a ton of adds constantly.
Anyone have any thoughts on using https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Adamant instead of Utmost Might or Soul of Steel? Last edited by Kyokuji#6764 on Dec 18, 2019, 5:33:54 PM

" You don't use ball lightning with cold iron point because yea you won't trigger either poison stacks or EE afaik (not sure if cold iron point with CoN triggers poison using BL). People may have picked up EE without realising how it works or in preparation for switching to a wand soon. Use cyclone/fortify/whatever (the guide suggests blind though I had trouble getting 3 green links so I just ran a 3 link while cycloning tbh). There's a bunch of anoints you could do for sure and that one wouldn't be too bad. Utmost strength is pretty nice if you can get 1 crimson oil not crazy expensive but might play with others later. The +1 max resist one is very tempting. |

" When I tried cyclone, I couldn't gain stacks nearly as fast as ball lightning. I think because of accuracy. They'd regularly drop as low as like 20 during bosses. Last edited by Kyokuji#6764 on Dec 18, 2019, 6:18:45 PM

Thinking about making one, but one thing worries me.. How are you getting res capped? Almost nothing on gear has res. 20 all from boots, 20 all from ascendency, 13 all res from tree and some fire res on helm. Ring could get you 100+ res, but even then you are nowhere near resistance capped..
