Here's the latest work in progress:

PoB Pastebin for Pledge of Hands Life/VMS build:

>>> https://pastebin.com/NfX0Rugf <<<



Notes:
I've replaced Wrath + Generosity with Skitterbots, which apply shock and chill! That saves 15% mana reserve. Which is enough to squeeze in a bestiary aura. I'm using spider because I managed to get one on a belt.

I've also replaced IC/Steelskin with Vaal Molten Shield. The MS is linked to CWDT, and you can self-cast VMS for an extra kick. Don't forget to activate Rumi's Concoction before you do.

The PoB DPS numbers are lower than the wand & shield build, but it will feel like Pledge does more DPS thanks to how Greater Spell Echo works.

I've just imported my actual gear which is pretty low tier, so I'm pretty sure 7.5k+ hp is possible. 9k+ if you use Kaom's.

This build is DEX starved, so you will need to find as much dex as possible on your equipment.

I have Blind linked to Holy Flame Totem because I don't have an Enhance.

I have my Animate Guardian at lvl20 and I want to give him 20% quality by leveling the gem again. Would I lose all the gear I had on him previously, because he wouldn't be able to use them at lvl 1?

Nope. When his gem lvl is high enough he'll be able to use the items again.

I freaked out when I thought my Kingmaker was gone but I had flipped the gem and it wasn't high enough for the item requirement yet. :)

I’m a little confused on how many minions this build is using. I keep seeing posts about zombies and I’m really concerned that the PS4 just wont handle zombies and specter minions.

Are zombies necessary?

Drop the zombies.

The build is 'PS4 certified' when running 4x spectres + Animate Guardian + 1x golem.

The feedback in 3.7 was that it is lag free and runs well on PS4.

Just remember to NOT use the AG until it reaches at least level 19 again - a low level AG will get killed easily and take all the gear with it.

@kayella

what about oil passives? what can you suggest?

If you want more damage, Ravenous Horde is the #1 choice.

@kayella
Thank you.

@kaye

Do you recommend replacing Gen+Wrath with skitter bots in the wand shield build also?

Also how much of a dps loss are RVAs vs Sds? I tired it on a 4 link and its night and day on single target.

This is a great tip and something I hadn't thought of at the time. Luckily he survived levelling up again.
