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

I really like runebinder+stormbrand for metamorphs etc. Perfect build for this league imo.

noob question: Im using curse immune. Should I even need it? I run it mainly for temp chains but im switching to adrenaline when I equip freeze boots. I should drop curse as well or nah?

Curse immunity is very good for temp chains and ele weakness maps. You can swap it for something else in boss encounters. Its really up to you, the build is flexible on flask mods so long as you are able to hit that 30k vaal molten shell. Just running with these flasks myself.

Hi!, i have an answer.
To raise the fourth spectrum., i only need raise spectre in lvl 25? The Gem quality affect?

tnx, cya.

Here is my somewhat cheap guardian that I made for the league through this guide.

No expensive jewel, even forgot the timeless jewel :P

Anyway this is how it clears all maps no matter how many mods on the map at Awakener 6 T16-s.

Minotaur run:

Tankiest build I have ever played but DPS is almost nowhere.. then again I can easily run ALL blight maps and do all bosses in the game without dying.

Oh and im still using the regular Carnage Chiefs. Finding the right Delve spot for the best Spectres just takes too long time to get to and I don´t like to play braindead minion builds THAT much :D

Hey all, I have a 3G 2W 1B Skin of the Loyal from my Mana Guardian for sale at 2Ex if anyone is looking for one. It appears nobody looks for white sockets in search haha.

After investing 20 ex into this build I'm giving up.
Damage is horrible - metamorph fights take several minutes and after the 5 seconds fights I'm used to from prior build I'm too tired for this

Also even though overall tankines is good just had 5 death over 5 minutes both to trash mobs and metas

Did I do something really wrong with my setup? If so, Please enlighten me.

Gem levels play a HUGE importance here.
But yes endgame bosses like Minotaur etc can take a few minutes to kill without mirror tier gear.
But it is tanky and almost never die.

I'm at level 30 HoA, and Minotaur does not take minutes. Even with ele/chaos resist and %life mods on the map. Keep in mind Minotaur has 3/4X the health he did last league. If he takes 30 seconds something strange is happening. Like rippy mods and I'm saving VMS for metamorph, so I leave his vicinity.

T16 Metamorphs with rippy/tanky map mods, and rippy/tanky part mods are no joke. I'm level 98 and dropped from 30% to 20% today, first death in a long time. It was on crit phoenix map from the metamorph. Didn't see the phoenix fire cast from meta, it one-shot me. I only have 13.5k ES or so. Level 97 had one death that wasn't me being a straight dumbass. Oh, tormented martyr can kill anything from experience.

From dangerous meta, I have a pattern. Spam ball lightning, as he spawns hit flasks/MS for 10k cap, burst a bit, clear first wave of adds. Then hit flasks again and get capped VMS (30k). Only degen and a few oddball bosses are dangerous then. (phoenix, lava lake kitava) Also for elemental weakness maps keep a warding flask up if its remotely dangerous.

Again remember T16 boss/shaper/friends health buff, this is the tankiest and highest single target build I've ever played. It has weaknesses like blight maps, but it excels in multiple areas. And can be in good shape for under 10 ex. (more currency really helps, absolutely)

You have CWDT on Molten shell, can you choose when VMS goes off with that?
Also EE for Hatred is massive, which cold iron point negates. And applying curse automatically for you. +1 minion/skill on spell cast wand would be a big improvement.

first problem and its a suckie one. looks like your HoAG is only about 24. you really need 28+

next your gems are weird. you should have flame dash poison ball of lighting and either faster casting or GMP in your boots. convocation should be in your helm not your gloves. and you should get skitter bots for your gloves. i personally recommend increased duration rather then CWDT for molten shell along with you should have vaal molten shell not just molten shell. so your helm gems should be Vaal Molten shell Increased Duration Convocation and clarity OR presion.

if you dont have enough reserve mana for skitterbots i would anoint your neck with chrasmia and pick out a few mana reserve nodes in the tree that you dont have already. but i wouldnt get too many until u can use up all that mana until you have about 50 remaining.

next you need your weapon to be 3 linked. and personally i would replace poachers mark for projectile weakness. but there is a problem with that and that is you have a curse also on your gloves and you can only apply 1 curse with this version of the build so i would replace your gloves with a non curse glove for like 10c

i would replace your maim support in your shield with meat shield for your spectres


IDK HOW I MISSED THIS. but your asendecy is wrong. you MUST HAVE unwavering crusade.pull either basion of hope or time of need to get it. that is very very important to have.

Hey I'm just getting started with this build. I'm wondering what other do to gain dex early on to level HoAg past lvl 2
