[3.11] Bashtart's HERALD OF PURITY GUARDIAN: cheap starter & endgame boss farmer with insane dps!

Sorry but I'll league start this too, a bit disapointed to see much hype for this build. But I'm not ready to trade for crit. The daggers is not what bothers me the most, it's the torso/rings dilemna because at the end of the day you are trying to 6L a reservation skill don't forget it xd.

I made a QUICK BUILD GUIDE VIDEO for 3.10 check it out:

QUICK BUILD GUIDE 3.10

hi, started league with your build and have some questions

- in your pob you have immortal call linked to cwdt, but elsewher you mention molten shell - which one do we use ?

- what would be a weapon to use before getting cold iron daggers ?

- which auras should we run before enlighten and armor/rings ? at the moment there's no calamity nor rings on poe trade

I started with this and I find it very squishy, there are no defense layers except ascendancy and minmaxing life? I rip every time I try league mechanic in lvl 1 map. Damage is fine I think, but I am permastunned and dead once stuff comes out of mist.

You should have high Armour and physical damage mitigation, perma blind ond enemies with Flesh and Stone, a cast when damage taken setup with Enfeeble and vaal molten shell. The Dread banner reduces the acc from nearby enemies and can be used to get Super fortify... Not sure what you mean... On your character I don't see much what is recommended in the guide.

I would use flesh and Stone and Dread banner because the offer great survivability and dps. On weapon I would try to get something which increases the skill level of hop and maybe gives some minion damage, attack speed or/movement speed.

OH then I have to change the cwdt setup in PoB file... It should be molten shell.

Can you do this CI to get more tanky? how does it compare to herald of agony

Survivability wise with bv in all this jazz it sux, I can get OS or not at 2 stacks and above in delirium in yellow T2 maps with my garbage gear. I think that you need a cwdt enfeeble + something and vms seems absolutely mandatory as the league mechanic is pretty obscene. I'm investigating going ES or MoM or even both atm. Points wise it is doable.
Damage wise however I don't have any dagger and gem lvl17 but I shred everything, legions chest full clears bosses imploding everything dying like dominos as I dash around. Completly overkill clear speed for early mapping.

Cluster jewel wise I have a semi decent entry line setup and it carries me pretty amazingly. Lone Messenger seems really strong on sentinels AoE skill.
LARGE cluster(9) : Rotten claw + 1 fodder one(you can do way better for cheap)
MEDIUM cluster(4): Pure agony(+1 max sentinel) + herald AoE notable
SMALL cluster(1): Lone messenger

Hi, love the build so far :D

I just have one question, how do you keep your spectres alive? In delirium they die every damn time, it's so annoying having to respawn them after every delirium.

couple of questions

- is minion speed actually needed for clear setup ?
- is feeding frenzy needed for single target setup ?
