[3.10] Herald of Agony Mana Guardian | 2.5 Minute Sirus 8 | Deathless T19 100% Delirium

finally got a belt, took maybe 600c worth of spamming. shame it hit 8% res cause other than it's rolled all the right stats, albeit not t1, but i can't really complain about that

just need to change boots now to fix res and i'm all good to go

Apart from Gem levels, what should I aim for in terms of equip? Kind of need a goal now, else I'll be bored farming lol

Snacked a Memory Vault with the Skitterbot Enchant for 8 Ex. Finally I can also run Flesh and Stone on top. Too bad I needed like another 4 Ex to get Charisma, rolling my Ring to 40% und buying a Golden Rule with 1% reduced Mana. Well Money gone, but I am happy.

The Hunter Amulet with +1 Chaos Gems and the +2 Skin of the Loyal will be my last long term goal in terms of gear. If I reach these two I might even go for optimizing my Timeless Jewel.

When I started this guide during Christmas because my Arc Miner was too squishy I never expect that I would keep so long onto this build and also put so much currency in it. I also think the people here and that this thread is so active, is also doing its part in keeping me invested in it. Its nice to see how other people are approaching things or when they share new ideas.

Thanks for that. You guys here are awesome.

Its normal for Mana Guardian HoA builds to only run with 75% resist? does not became problematic in Awakening 8 (Elemental Weakness)?

Well, take a look at my gear if you want, apart from the HoAg helmet enchant, I am kind of done.

I hope I don't overwhelm you, but you asked for it :D

I see a lot of upgrade potential: +1 Shapers Touch, +1 Skin, a good belt, Empower 4 (Or even 3, why are you using a 2 when a 3 costs like 15c?, buy a 3 and level the 2 in your weapon switch, levels are everything for HoAg), a third Grand Spectrum (like 700 ES right there), Awakened Minion Damage, Awakened Vicious Projectiles, Lethal Pride with Intimidate on hit.

And that is before you can start to do the mana reservation game of fitting as many auras as possible into your build. Like I am running HoAg, Hatred, Skitterbots, Flesh and Stone and a high level clarity. I have 50 mana unreserved in my single target setup.

But if you are asking for one big goal to aim for, I would say try to bring your HoAg to the level 31 breakpoint. There are only two things missing, an Empower 4 and a +1 corrupted skin. To get that breakpoint where HoAg gets a huge damage boost, it is even worth to use sub-optimal colors in a +1 corrupted skin. I used a 4g2r for a long time for example. Or a 3g3r or even 2g2r2b works. They are a lot cheaper than the better colors.

As I said, take a look at other peoples gear and skills to get ideas for upgrades.

On the topic of upgrades, I upgraded my boots from:



to



Gets me a 700 ES boost and my resists are still fine. Only 500 ES away from 20000 ES, but dunno where I would get that from.

That was the 6th pair of boots with the mana mod and the two resists I bought. Needed to annul them and bricked the first 5 pairs. This one worked out luckily. Could be a better base, but can't have everything I guess. The other downside is that I have to run lab to enchant them... Luckily today is an ok lab day, no golden door.

Good day, need advice to craft a wand with +1 to level minions and spell skills. What's fossils should i use? Thanks.

metallic, shuddering, corroded and jagged

But be warned, the amount of tries it takes to hit +2 is greatly varied. Some get it in 5, some need 30+. So don't expect it to be a cheap upgrade. It might turn out a lot more expensive than just outright buying one.

You shouldn't need max roll 40% if you have helmet enchant, check POB.

Any opinions on Shock immune/remove vs Ignite immune/remove flask for deeper delves? I feel like I should switch to Ignite, it often prevents my recherge. But shocks can hurt a lot too.

Or maybe both and get rid of the "Adrenaline" on my Quicksilver? Or the Curse immune?

Are there curses in delve? There aren't right? The nodes have effects that simulate the curses, like "Monsters penetrate 12% elemental resistances" instead of "Players are cursed with Elemental Weakness". So I can definitely get both shock and ignite immune when I get rid of Curse immune.

Strictly for delving I would be using a coil to stay immune. That frees up flasks to allow the use of soul ripper for insane vaal molten shell usage. For delving you are also much better trying to work aspect of the spider into the auras as well, probably over skitterbots. Aspect is too good as you get deeper as it never looses effectiveness like curses

The #1 delving guardian this league (solo delve 1150 and growing) uses aspect of the spider indeed.

May be a good choice over Flesh and Stone, doesn't take up a valuable socket either. He has it on his rare shield, wonder if we can add to our boots or ring.

I can't wait to see his ceiling with this build.
