Animate Guardian Set Up (Thank you CTSabba for the inspiration)!

https://pastebin.com/g6hGJF7R

Picked up Animate Guardian with Kingmaker, Leer Cast helmet, Southbound glove, Victario's Flight boots and a rare armor with +100 life, 2% regeneration, and crafted "gain 10% of maximum life as energy shield". Changed the tree slightly to pick up 24% minion life and 1% regeneration on the way to Death Attunement.

My shield link is Raise Spectre => Animate Guardian => Minion Life (way cheaper than empower 4 and also provide more life which scales with rare chest armor and spirit offering). Animate Guardian with 55K health, 7600 energy shield and 1600 per second health regeneration, if I block he gets 2500 per second health regeneration, plus 10000 energy shield every 4 seconds or so from spirit offering. I wouldn't do delve 1000 or Sirus with him, but all other contents seem to be fine, I don't even see his health dip ever. Fortify, while not totally reliable given the small radius of Kingmaker, can still be a life saver. Culling strike smooth out the mapping tremendously, my ball of lightning and spectres can finish off low health minions efficiently.

To further upgrade this, you can add Garb of the Ephemeral to your Animate Guardian which will prevent enemies from dealing critical strikes and greatly reduce the effect of temporal chains and other slow effects. Or you can add a Mask of the Stitched Demon to give your Animate Guardian over 10K per second life regeneration if you want to take him into tougher contents.

Finally, with minion life support, I changed four Stoneskin Flayers to four carnage chieftains, without blood magic, two carnage chieftains can not keep up with frenzy charges consistently, and it is far more powerful than power charges so I ditched host chieftains. They each have 62K health and get the same defense. If you lose a chieftain on a map, that map is probably too dangerous for your Animate Guardian. Again with spirit offering I have yet to see they dip in health with this set up, even took the crew to delve 500 for a spin and they did fine, but this allows me to change my curse to projectile weakness and ensures I can do the same damage in boss fights.

With the exception of super difficult delve contents and Sirus fight, I believe this set up is better overall. I can always switch back to poacher's mark and stoneskin flayers if I am doing more difficult contents and unsummon my animate guardian, this set up seems to be the best of both worlds.

yea... if people are truely honest at how many tries it took then the guys selling them on the market are making extreme amounts of profit. multimodded +2 wands with trigger and minion attack speed were at around 20ex the past few days. 20ex on crafting one would give you 32 attempts to hit +2 (for 16ex total cost) with a suffix and then 4ex left to multimod it. and from the results here you would be hitting many multiple wands within 32 attempts
