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

playing this build for the second league in a row...last league it rocked everything...this time im starting the league with it....sems like dex is a huge issue for blade vortex while leveling...i have been using divine ire instead...gets the sentinels out like instantly and the damage is pretty good too

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.

Not sure tbh... The Delirium stuff does a shit load of damage and the nerfed Spectres.

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

You can go in the direction of mana Guardian but it will not be as strong as it was before the nerf. I would only take like Radiant Faith and use a memory vault helmet and stack some mana.

Loving the build so far!

I was wondering what are the items or changes that can further improve the dps?

I assume the best way is to equip The Coming Calamity chest to +2 to Herald of Purity but that would mean a -neg in mana reserved.

I was wondering if you could share a high dps version of this build?

Loving this build so far, by far my best league starter yet. Even tho I have some questions.

To which level should I level my CWDT skill gems?
Can I use Vaal Molten Shell instead of Molten Shell?
Should I level my Arcane Surge to lvl 9 and leave it there or should I max it out?
Trip report as I get to T15:

- build seems slightly too squishy, but maybe that's because i'm used to stuff like totems and minions over the last few leagues, where you can just sit back. with BV you actually have to get in the mix
- cold iron points are expensive but affordable; reservation circle of guilts are outrageously expensive
- the most successful play seems to go for 2x medium cluster jewels to get the +2 sentinels. i went for large (impale) - medium (sentinels) - small (10% life node)

my gear so far:

Hi, few questions if you don't mind

- how are the dmg and clear speed looking in your opinion ? is it doing ok with the new league mechanic ?

- are your specters surviving ok ?
- is holy relic needed ? ( how do you use that ? )
spectres die instantly. the only ones that really survive for enough time are the proximity shield ones. i might swap them out for a minion life gem to keep the carrions alive longer, dunno.

in terms of clearspeed it's fine. very solid for bosses, not so much for cassia

First League playing this build and loving it. It absolutely deletes bosses and mapping speed is also fine so far.

Spectres seem to die quite often but for now I'm just playing without them. What is the recommended anoint on this build? Going to try indomitable army and see if that helps.
