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

Hey Exiles! First of all thank you for the great guide, Im so far enjoying the play-style of the build a lot.

I choose this one, beacouse it seems tankier and i don't like dying much.
what should i improve next? clearing speed is good tier 4,5 but can't do the league mechanic , insta dying.

here's my setup. Any advice would be excellent.



PD: how do you guys managed to get 6 link or 5 link the chest so fast!?!

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

Besides the delve stone flayers in primeval chambers, Towering Figment from Grand Arena in Act 4 are pretty tanky. That is what im using atm

Nothing on Anoints?

Any tips?

Jewellers touch prophecy is what I did. helped with damage - I don't have cold iron points yet but I've been using advancing fortress and a shield and survivability has been good unless I get really deep into delirium mist.

Might be switching to a max block build of some sort with damage coming from HoP - will see what I can get block up to though I have a feeling I'll miss the extra levels/damage from dual wield CIP

for annoint I'm looking at Ravenous Hoard most likely (early on at least) eventually I'll likely go with a defensive annoint like soul of steel

Can someone have a look at my character an tell me what to upgrade and what with as I am very squishy.

Ravenous Horde or something for defense.

You might wanna try out Bladefall instead of Blade Vortex because those delirium suicide bombers are pretty stupid.

@bashtart
i'm confused by your POB/Build

you have too much stuff in.

chest : 6L hop
gloves : 4L BV
Boots : 4L golems
weapon : 3L fortify
helmet : 4L cwdt setup
weapon2 : in here you have another 4L, buff setup : pride, flesh and stone, dread banner, enlighten .

what's the deal ? what do i take out to fit that additional 4L with enlighten.. ?


on top of that, you also added Vaal Haste to the POB Calculation, which i'm not sure where that goes as well..

in my opinion .. the build is not realy viable with dual wielding + the coming calamity chest.
if u do so u have no block from shield, and a very bad body piece (no armor, no life, no res.

i play with

and i die in yellow maps in every delirium.

i still miss the last ascendancy and the endurance charges will help .. but im still not sure how good it will compete that league

Hey, Bladefall seems more fun, also being able to keep some range with it. Are we using the same support Gems as Blade Vortex with it? Or different?
Ty for build btw, pretty fun :)
