So to get this right if you die the AG wont affect right? Its only when the guardian die

Edit:

@Solanales i assume you are have kingmaker in your AG how come you are still running culling strike on your golem?

Yeah I'm running Kingmaker and I just switched to the AG last night so I wanted to get comfortable with it before I changed the helmet to remove Culling Strike.

I have a few questions:

1. If I can raise 4 spectres, what would you suggest I raise? The carnage chieftan is obviously one of them, what about the other 3?
2. Is 5.5k life "enough" for all content? I'm not entirely comfortable with my life, but I'm struggling to find more.
3. Would you make any changes to my build and gem link setups?

1. Run two host chieftains and two carnage chieftains. That will give you good power and frenzy charge uptime
2. I would aim for 6k life and 2k mana if you're running MoM. Fertile Catalysts could pump the life rolls on your rings/belt
3. Gear looks pretty solids outside of no life on the helmet.

What about the Doriyani Jewel? Does it make any difference which is the numbers of seeds?

Don't understand those at all xD

The number effects the small passives and notables and what will be on them. The reason people talk about Doryani jewels specifically is because the name "Doryani" guarantees that it will turn any keystone it takes over into Corrupted Soul which gives you a percent of your maximum life as extra Enery Shield while also letting 50% of non-chaos damage through your energy shield.

It would be great if you can find one where the small nodes benefit you as well but most people just do it for the Keystone which is what the name Doryani guarantees.

Holy, I just looked up Mask of the Stitches Demon on /trade and It's more expensive than Kingmaker now (360c). Lol.

i have 3 EX, is anybody selling their outdated items that i can use?

Ayo, I dropped Thread of Hope from sirus lv 8 (lovely guide by the way), is there any good place to put it?

QUESTION:
What wand is better if now i have +2 levels from other items:
+1 to Level of all Minion Skill Gems and Minions deal 50% increased Damage
or
Minions deal 90% increased Damage

Yeah they're expensive, but as I said it's just something I'm messing around with.

I've had one for awhile but can't really see anywhere it'd be beneficial just yet.

You can just simulate this in PoB, but for my build the +1 level and 50% increased damage was better.

Ok So I switched to AG , but somehow I kept on getting one shoted on maps.

Full rez including chaos rez , 6k life , 2200 shield 1500 mana.

I think the problem is that due to zombies beeing somehow passive they do not taunt as much as they used to, leading to more attacks getting to me.

On T16 with increased critical strikes for mobs it just one shoted me to death.

Even with Doryani and 50% passing through ES , it shouldn't be any kind of problem since I did pure life builds and with full rez you still can mitigate some attacks.

I need to test but it seems somehow the AG with all the benefits in terms of auras and movement speed keeps affecting my survivability, maybe it was just the mods of the map or maybe it was because I was tired , but I never experienced such one shots.


I will start testing again, once I get Vorici white sockets on the gloves so I don't keep on chroming them to switch to AG .


P.S : Switching to an immortal AG might be a solution to the one shots due to Fortify but seems rather expensive to go like full 5-6 exalts for fortify and culling strike. I mean, is it worth probably ...Expensive ? Yes.

Might lose him ? Probably .

I'm looking at upgrading some gear. Mostly a new ring right now but i'm wondering if I should count the resistance I get from Bone Barrier when getting new gear and just how much chaos res i should have.

Mostly asking because I am way over the res cap with Bone Barrier and minions up so I could possibly focus on just chaos res on a new ring.

So is there a way to know how much HP my AG has?



Its 20/20, so 76% more HP, plus max rolled Belly of the beast, leer cast and southbound and the tree (i do have the grave intentions tree so 16% more minion life). Not sure how much I have but I dont think I pass the 20k HP on him, but I have no idea how the calculations are done, if the tree is first, or the skill gem is first and then after that all gear or what.

It's fine to include Bone Barrier to help cap your res. I think most of us do. It's so rare that we'll be without our minions and if we are, we're in bigger trouble than some extra ele resist can handle.

Chaos resistance is big this league. My recommendation is be AT LEAST positive, but fit in as much as you comfortable can without sacrificing life or capping other resists. I have 55% and that feels pretty comfortable.
