Hi again,so i've been starting to test animate guardian only been with it for about 2 days,so i droped the meat shield and feeding frenzy to place empower and animate guardian. So i lost taunt and feeding frenzy buff which its a big deal the taunt vs boss helps alot and the movement speed and attack speed for clearing in general its a big loss too. But the gains from the animate guardian are just too insane not to use. Currently on my animate guardian im using Leer cast (15% dmg) , Kingmaker ( allies have culling strike and fortify,yes this affects spectres and herald too so free culling for all ) , Garb of the Ephemeral ( so this is the most insane thing about this in my opinion,so this makes it so nearby enemies cant do crit strikes so this a huge survivability boost makes it so crit multi maps are meaningless, also makes it so nearby allies action speed cannot be modified to below base value so basicly we cant be slowed so temp chain maps become less annoying if you dont have curse flask up and also fights like uber elder and elder so much easier cause he cant slow you it feels really smooth), southbound( for %life and cold res) and a pair of rare boots (with life,fire,lightning and chaos ress to cap it).

So currently i've done uber elder shaper elder and t16 maps with it havent gotten any problems with him surviving you just neeed to be careful and watch his health sometimes like in shaper fight with beam and stuff like that. For delve i dont recommende cause he will prob die. But for casually farming maps and doing boss (except sirus,i still havent tried it cause im afraid of storms but next time ill use him).

So in general i feel like using animate guardian its a big increased in survivabilty. But its only a quality of life buff i dont recomend just spending 2ex gearing him up to just lose him to some rippy metamorph encounter with insane map mods. So yah just wanted to point that out

Thanks ^^

Thanks for the experiment! You also don't want to summon him for Sirus fight.

I just feel our build doesn't spend enough durability points on him to make him good.

Sure he can survive all the casual contents, but he won't be able to consistently survive the hard contents that take our build to its limit. So as gorgeous as King Maker and Garb are as a combo, I don't feel comfortable recommending it as a common set up to most players.

Yah yah as I said it's just a nice variation it's a quality or life buff mostly nothing else. But btw he can survive a lot of the hard fights cause remember we are placing in in shield with gives the +3 to minion gems +1 from wand currently my guardian at lvl 26 which is pretty tanky but yah I understand ^^

If the specs die and primeval ruins is accessible, can we go back into delve and re-summon them or do we need a uncompleted node?

I will create a new experimental section with Animated Guardian, Skeletons and Herald of Purity.

I think storm brand or tempest shield will be the best way for you to trigger elemental equilibrium. I guess flame dash into groups works too. Frost bomb will reduce your damage by a lot.

Punishment is way too overstated as the bulk of the damage buff happens when your skeleton takes a melee hit from cursed target . . .
