Just lost a 5ex Animate Guardian while grooming elder blob, it was in either a tier 1 or tier 3 map and im almost positive it happened in tier 1 pier during the boss encounters traps. I know they made the labrynth traps minion friendly but im thinking these didnt make the cut. My AG was fully decked with all recomended gear including an elder chest with 150 flat life, 3% life, per second life regen and % life regen as well as life as es craft. Theres no way a mob killed it in a tier 1 or 3 map, it had to be either some odd bug or the traps so beware. Ive actually never had a single minion of any kind die since gearing this character properly so theres no way my tankiest of minions died from a monster that dies within a fraction of a second of coming on screen. Ive already redecked out my AG so i dont wanna test the pier traps on AG if anyones interested in testing it with a shitty geared AG.

i tried all the different traps of that map (t16 elder version) and my guardian had no problems with the dmg, he could stand inside them permenantly without me casting convocation nor spirit offering.
all the other minions took some dmg slowly becouse even though they have more life than AG, they have a lot less regeneration. i had to cast convocation and spirit offering to keep them also maxed out permanently.

i guess with your elder chest you also use the stitched demon mask on your AG. in that case i would recommend you to try minion life gem instead of meatshield.
more life == more ES == a lot more regen.
i simulated it in POB and my AG regeneration went up from 7k/s to 16.2k/s which is around ~57% more, while meatshield is only ~30% less dmg taken.

i also skill into "indomitable army" for a total of 25% reduced phys. dmg taken and no extra bleed dmg while moving, which also helps but may be overkill.
i really dont want my AG to die so i prefer it extra safe.

Thats interesting i woulda bet the house it was that, wtf coulda killed an AG in a tier 1 or 3 map, no reflect for sure. I lost one of my spectres as well so out of like 30 minions the only 2 dead were AG and 1 spectre, isnt the AG supposed to be insanely tanky with this setup, Id have figured hed be the last minion standing in any circumstance. What possibly could have killed it, this is bothering me now because I thought avoiding pier traps was gonna be my safe strat.

You don't have to go take on the Shaper for some items. I expect they will continue to drop in maps like they do now. A watcher's eye though ... that will be a whole different ball game. Might want to stock up on those.

Oils are going to be part of standard. Why would they be any scarcer than they are in Blight now ? Hopefully when they come to standard the prices will be realistic. They are just stupid right now. Same with things like Badge of the brotherhood. 1ex maybe in Blight - 30ex in standard ...madness :-)
