In the guide he type it would be nice to have on the armor or did i miss understand it ? the regenerate of energy shield

Any regenerate in the guide is referring to % hp regen. The Animate guardian has like 65k HP, so any % regen of that gives him huge amounts of life per second.

Basically Mask of the Stitched Demon removes all energy shield from the user (our Animate Guardian) but gives him 1% life regen per 500 energy shield he would have had. Basically we want mods that either give him flat % hp regen (from elder items), % hp increase, and the crafted 10% of life as extra energy shield, because they all work towards the end goal of really high energy shield to be sacrificed to the MotSD and give ridiculous levels of health regen. And then having some chaos res to give him capped resistances is nice.

The 2% life regen per second you can get on elder items is pretty expensive, especially with the other mods and gives much less regen than the MotSD combo, so its not essential. If you have Grave Intentions passive you get another 10% of max life as max energy shield for you minions which is 20% of life regen a second with the Body Armor, so 2% more isn't a noticeable difference, especially for the cost.

Thanks for the information! I appreciate your time.

I'm leaning heavily towards using a redeemer orb for my weapon!

No problem :D Post your item after and let us see if lady luck decided to shine for you!

Unlucky :(

I have read that the socketed item will be destroyed if this bastard dies. So i dont use it yet because i'm afraid :D
Is this minion "unkillable"? Can i socket it without worries? Should I level it to lvl 18+ and cast it then first?

If I am reading you correctly, you think that the animated guardian dying will destroy the item on your character that you have the gem socketed in. This is not the case. You drop items onto the ground and cast animated guardian onto them to make him wear those items. You don't get these items back. If he dies he is reset and you have to start over with the items he is wearing, as you don't get them back. I recommend at least casting him on a victarios flight to boost your move speed 10% and then whatever vendor trash uniques you come across

Can anyone give me some direction on what to upgrade next? I have around 30 ex. I was thinking elder str% belt, but other than that im kinda lost.



I'm using precision level 1 and flame dash level 1, because I don't have enough mana to run them any higher, I'm left with around 18 mana lol, just enough to cyclone.

I have this for sirus fights. Ignore the colors.

Does anyone know what is causing the instant 1HKOs on the t15 Sunken City Spider Boss. I avoid the lasers and her charge up attack but in-between phases when her tiny adds are up 2 different times I just instantly died, my ES didnt take any damage, it just instantly showed me the ressurect screen with no animations.

I have over 1,500 STR already and the cannot be inflicted with corrupted blood on a jewel, just not sure what happened on that specific map/boss, thanks.

lvl 4 enlightenment will help with mana problems for sure. Getting vulnerability somewhere like a glove corrupt or ring will help with damage.

I'm actually getting 1 hit quite often, like 2 or 3 times a day which is odd, contents still easy, the builds strong. Its just when it happens its literally instant with no time to react or even see animations.

My gears min/maxed pretty heavily, not sure what I am doing wrong, especially if I come across a shrine, like the second I see it on the mini map my ressurect at checkpoint screen is already up.



1,500 ish STR atm, have the "cannot be inflicted with corrupted blood" on a jewel too, im also not used to playing an ES character but it doesnt seem to matter if my ES is like at 9k b/c the couple times I die a day its in less then a second anyways.

Just thought would mention on the end game pob he goes into Melding then into jewel slot as i cant afford the jewel he puts in a good idea is to head towards Written in blood only 5% more life and bit more str but every bit helps unless u need the extra jewel slot just a suggestion

Now, "The question".

Why Mistress of Sacrifice instead of Commander of Darkness?

Doesnt minions are considered allies? Whats the point of being affected by offering skill (reduced effect) if we dont attack, just for a very little movement speed buf? Minion duration while not using skellies? Skill effect duration, just for offerings and bone armor instead of global auras buff as we use 4 auras?

Mistress of Sacrifice permits your Offering skills to also affect you at a 25% reduced level.

So Spirit Offering provides us directly 3% of our maximum life as Energy Shield for each Corpse consumed which will be at least 5 corpses with Desecrate. Therefore every time we cast Spirit Offering we're getting 15% of our life as extra ES as a minimum. Your minions are getting 20% of their life as extra ES.

To fully understand the power of this, consider the detail that EVERY time we cast we instantly get that ES. So charge up your minions, spin away in a safe place away from danger and your ES is always up. Caution, chaos damage will bypass your ES and can kill you.

You also gain an extra 22% to your elemental resistances helping you to cap resists while most gear is focused on the build requirements.

Oh, and don't forget that with Spirit Offering your minions are getting a stonking 29% of their Phys damage as added Chaos damage which is effectively a 29% more damage. (OK, bosses have some resistance, but still this is massive)

In comparison with Commander of Darkness you get a very small increase to attack speed, an increase to minion damage, but that's not the same as More damage, and you get 20% to your resists and also to your minions.

For this build and how it works, Mistress of Sacrifice is by far the better option.

Your tree looks a little inefficient. You shouldn't need the Sacrifice wheel. If you're just using it to get minion leech, then grab the Jewel slot below pain attunement for 2 skill points and grab a jewel that has minion leech on it. Then you've got two extra points to play with.

Also, what's with Dynamo? You know that doesn't help with mana reservation reduction right? If you're only after some extra mana then instead take Arcane Will and you'll at least get some extra ES as well.

Respec Faith and Steel and use the two points to get the Jewel node below Stamina. You automatically get 10 more strength that way plus you get to throw in a cool new rare Jewel. Shop around, there are some very useful ones for good prices.

See if you can stretch to Soul of Steel, the extra max resist and the Phys damage reduction are very helpful.

This is my first league playing PoE and I'm having trouble, I have an Awakened Minion Damage gem at 20% qual and I'm wondering if dropping Feeding Frenzy for it would be smart? I've read that Zombies will become too stupid without it? Have any of you tried this?

Upgrade your gems. You should have a lvl 21 zombie and lvl 4 empower in your weapon. Also get enlighten lvl 4 in your chest for help with mana.
