[Archived] Moosseolini's Holy Relics Guardian

Hi! I've been really enjoying this build so far but I notice as I transition into red maps I still feel VERY squishy, even with 6.5k hp and maxed resists. I realize I have some holes in my gear to fill as far as DPS is concerned but am I missing something else? I feel like I'm getting 1-2 shot constantly with flasks up.

Thanks for the build, going smooth so far.

So, another question on attack rate/SHR CD.

My current SHR cooldown is 0.40 according to PoB, and my cyclone attack rate is 6.78. I am feeling this is way too fast, any advice on this?

1) if I use static strike instead of cyclone, is attack rate faster the better?
2) if I want to stick with cyclone, what else can I do ?
Divergent SHR, not taking any attack speed nodes anything else?

Thanks in advance.

Attack speed can be our enemy in this build((
I have tested 2 options: enhance 3 and enhance 4
(in dark delve where mobs are invulnerable and I can see SHR's nova animation )
The conclusion is: in my gear "enhance 3" hits two times often so
i have half damage lost when equip enh4 instead enh3

As for you
You have 3 pathes
1 Holy Relic 21/* CDR=0.4
2. Divergent Holy Relic 20/20 CDR=0.33 (21/20 better then #1 obviously anyway)
3. Divergent Holy Relic + Enhance (lvl2) CDR=0.26
4(extra). Excellent staff! Divergent Holy Relic + Enhance (lvl4) CDR=0.2


1. You want attack speed with cyclone 0.14 or 0.28 (or attack rate 7.5 or 3.7)
1.1.BEST OPTION is change gloves for gloves with 9-11% attack speed (and take retribution node back). In this case you have 0.20-0.21 attack speed with cyclone.
2. You want attack speed with cyclone 0.17 or 0.33 (or attack rate 6 or 3)
2.1. You should change your staff to staff with no attack speed bonus and skip retribution node (gloves no changes)
2.2. You don't change your staff but change you gloves to gloves with 16% attack speed and try to find up to 25% attack speed from another sources (including retribution)
3. No profit with your current staff and div SHR 20/20


Your DPS profit
1.1. +11%
2.1. +17% (for SHR divergent 20/20)
2.2. 1%-18% (for SHR divergent 20/20)

If you want more damage i suggest change your staff to staff described in min-max section of this guide


P.S. Didn't use static strike after i come to red maps.

I felt the same until I collect enough damage to oneshot packs of mobs
If you have 80%+ chaos resistance you can use glorious vanity as guide says.
There are no sence to collect more def, try to improve your damage.
empower, aw minion/brutality, amulet with +1 intel gems, maybe divergent SHR with managing your attack speed
Be care with scourge. 200+ stacks it's a x7 dmg for mobs

And do not use maim.
Use culling strike.
For bosses better 100%.
For packs your cyclone range to small for getting benefit from this gem(

you are still at the very beginning. you need to improve gear, skill gems, relic survivability.
1. Divergent Holy relic 21 20 + correct setting attack speed cyclone. Need as < 6.06. 6.00-6.04 perfect


2. Awakened gems + 4 lvl empower
3. Stampede boots for cyclone + Charisma for mana reserve

4. New Flask

5. jewels with life + Minion Res (very immortant) + Minion Damage + ( Elem Res + DEX or int if you need it)


6. Chaos res 80% cap + Xibaqua Glorious Vanity
7. Determination Armour Watcher's Eye

8 Working with mana reserve makes it possible to use the spider aspect

9 New Rare gear with Max life + ele+ chaos cap res + ring with curse

The main way!!!! to improve is to craft the staff described in Min-maxing section of this guide.
With this point your SHR can cast nova 5 times per second (instead 2.5 times now).

Then swap SHR for divergent SHR and the lowest dps support gem for enhance

Be care with your attack speed and cooldown SHR!!!! If your attack speed becomes to fast you lose a lot of DPS((

Another way: change every your items (jewels,rings) without damage to SHR to item with that.
Take +16% damage node near Righteos Army. This node is worth it.
Change clusters with 12 nodes to cluster with 8 nodes or
try to find cluster with 35% increased effect (expensive)

You dont' take 4 jewel socket (in left cluster, in top cluster, between Barbarism and Jugernaut, near Devotion)

Watcher's eye with more damage from Zealotry and damage reduction/+ armour from Determination is good too

If you use cyclone it's convinient to use Rampede assassins boots (no slow from cyclone)

In the min-maxing section, it says:

"

Do this until you hit +1 to Dexterity Gems and +1 to Intelligence/Strength gems.

However, aren't the holy relic and its support gems red and blue, which means strength and intelligence? Can someone help me understand why is +1 level to socketed dexterity gems the main affix to go for?

+1 Intelligence= +1 Summon Holy Relic level and + some sup gems level
+1 Strength = +1 Empower level = +1 Summon Holy Relic level
+1 Dexterity = +1 Enhance level
With this staff u want divergent SHR + enhance


with +1 DExterity and enhance 4 and amulet with +1 int and divergent SHR
your SHR will have 0.2 cooldown
It can cast up to 5 time per sec
(For example for standard divergent SHR without enhance SHR will have 0.33 cooldown or 3 time per sec)

If you don't have +1dex on staff your SHR's CDR cup will be only 0.23 sec

For that reason +1 dex so important, but +1str and +1int is good too

I have a few questions. I'm starting to build this now. Around level 50 act 6. I've never used war banner before, let alone 4 reservation skills at once. And this is before vitality which I'm considering for the eye. How many of these auras, attached to the banner am I supposed to run at once? If I reserve the banner, and have herald of purity I'm tapped.
Next, what exactly the point of static strike? As soon as I could use cyclone I have been, just feels more fluid.

3rd, and possibly most important, do you have any suggestions for heisting in this build? Did the initial introduction and another contract at rare and got stomped.

Do you have an updated POB link? Not sure if it's because I'm on ps4 or not, but when I use the link on my app the skill tree looks very different. Life wheel isn't same shape and I can't find gravepact at all anywhere etc...
