How much are you looking to spend on your AG? Price point decides what you put on him.

I'm doing your basic setup...

Kingmaker, Leer Cast, Belly of the Beast, Victario's Flight, Southbound

I'd suggest that you move your dread banner off of your chest, to your boots, unlinked with anything. Then move impale to your chest to support your skeletons. That'll be a pretty serious DPS increase.

Also, keep working on getting your gems leveled. You'll get a lot more DPS out of 20/20 supports.

Once you get that sorted out, if you're having trouble with survivability,you may want to consider switching to a shield. Ahn's Heritage is a good pick.

Is this better now?

That's hugely beneficial! Very nice. It allows people to copy/paste which parts they use too which is nice. Thanks for offering that up. The new PoB fork is great but not COMPLETELY there yet. Still miles ahead of the lack of updates we've had on the official branch.

I would happily nominate Solanales and Dragomirov to take over the build if they're interested/able to, have already put a tonne of work in so why not make it official =) Many thanks Viperesque!

As an aside has anyone tried running AG on phys reflect maps? Is it safe?

I'm cautiously considering it. As I said, there's some things I would want to update if I'm going to take it over including some of the videos and a lot of the text as well as some formatting and more visual elements so people can see what they should do. Basically I want to make it as beginner friendly as possible while still keeping things able to scale into infinity for late game. I might start work on it this week as soon as I make a plan.

AG Phys reflect I wouldn't be too afraid of. He really doesn't do much damage. That said I roll over Phys Reflect anyways since it takes way longer with the skeletons killing themselves all the time.

My current gear setup. With impale setup doing 900k while mapping(with melee splash) and ~1.4m while bossing(swapping melee splash > multistrike) without AG buffs included. Ditched CWDT setup for banner, pride+generosity setup and manually cast spirit offering(still have enough sockets to switch back for cwdt, but now im used to how it is).

You could consider Dying Breath instead. For 18% increased damage.

Budget version is a Dying Breath. But you really get so much more out of it with Kingmaker (fortify, culling strike, +50% crit multiplier).

Go with Dying Breath, you can upgrade to Kingmaker any time later if you feel you got a handle on it. (Casting another weapon on it destroys the former one and uses the new one, so you can overwrite stuff later on).

EDIT: The wiki page at https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Animate_Guardian also lists commonly used gear on AG.

ty for responses..

Hey.. I don't understand why do you use Enhance on your boots? I mean from what I see quality doesnt give much benefits to the auras.. Am I missing something? What other gem can I use instead of Enhance?

Thanks

This increases the effect of Dread Banner by about 10% ( + 19% quality, per % quality 0.5% increased effect ).
