WIP - Build is more or less done 99%, but still haven't unlocked all content, so many things undocumented, but it looks capable nonetheless

Current Gear
Explanation on gear and choices
Chaber Cairn This weapon is IMO the ultimate Dom Blow weapn, +3 total to Dominating Blow, plus it keeps some damage to enable killing the first trash mobs Memory Vault & Shaper's Touch Bread and butter Guardian property and trademark. More mana, more reservation (which guardian wants), more ES with STR, armor/ES base Shavs wrapping, chayula amu and life reservation Life Reservation + Shavs + Presence of Chayula Life reservation to take full advantage of Radiant Faith (160% life reserved -> extra armor) plus an extra very needed aura. Shavs to enable such reservation (chaos dmg does not bypass ES) Chayula to give antistun, to bring chaos res to 0, and to give more ES The above combine together and as a result I reached 7k es antistun an extra aura and all the stuff.
Gem links
Still finalizing the gem setup Dominating blow + Brutality + Multistrike + Fortify + Impale + MeleePhysDmg/MeleeSplash Stone/Carrion Golem + Feeding Frenzy Extra summon holy relic when you get room and Minion life/damage if you got slots ^(above can be put into 6 Linked CWDT setups below) CWDT level 1 + Desecrate + Vaal Molten Shell CWDT 20 + Vulnerability + Flesh Offering Both cwdt20 gems can go as manual cast if you feel like it Standalone gems: Convocation Flame Dash Auras: Dread Banner + Generosity Vaal Discipline Pick two of the three below: Pride Determination Flesh & Stone + Maim NOTE: one aura must go into Blood Magic there are many combos
Examples:
Determination Pride + Blood Magic or Pride Flesh & Stone + Maim + Blood Magic Flesh & Stone gives a lot of dps, Determination is more tanky If you feel confident (for example are used to squishy chars) you can go on with flesh & stone which deals shitloads of dmg, I personally run with the safer determination when mapping so i can pay less attention, it gets 30k armor unbuffed and damage is still adeguate. Bonus if you have Stalwart Commander jewels, for more tank you can drop pride for Grace and reach 50%/75% evasion with/wo flask
Leveling, gear & tree progression
Leveling was fairly easy, about uniques you can use the usual leveling uniques for which there are many good guides ex. https://www.poe-vault.com/guides/beginner-guide-to-unique-items-for-leveling-in-path-of-exile-delirium-310 (personally i never use any and just enjoy the walk) Tree progression: For the tree i rushed Spiritual Aid and Spiritual Command (minion aspd and dmg also affect you) then i took Resolute Technique (to be respecced later) and i proceeded to open paths, the two life nodes take priority then it is about opening paths and balancing damage and defense You can temporally take the armor nodes near RT and between templar/marauder if you have regret orbs at hand. Weapons & gems: Thanks to the minion nodes you can use any melee weapon, I went for a dual weapon pref. sceptres with smite + summon holy relic which is quite strong early At act3 you will unlock dominating blow At level 40 you can use the Chober Chaber that is the level40 precursor of Chober Cairn. Here is the neat trick, the 6L costs 10c :)))) https://poe.trade/search/ananokoharasim Buy also the prophecy Faith Exhumed (You will defeat Tolman, the Exhumer while holding Chober Chaber) to create Chober Cairn https://poe.trade/search/ukeniyodahaubo once you kill Mausoleum map boss tadah you got a 6L for like 11c :D :D First core upgrades are shaper touch and memory vault. Then shavs then presence of chayula, other pieces just get some 1c stuff with resist The harsh part is when early mapping and transitioning from life to shavs and life reservation. It's easy if you can buy it already, it's a pain if you need to farm to buy it (which i did btw) You will get shavronne asap (after helm & gloves) and use zealot oath once ES is about 2/3 of you total pool. Life reservation is your call on when you feel confident (i suggest to not use bloodmagic and exclude pride/flesh&stone from the auras until you are confident that about your tankiness) For making money at the absolute beginning some chaos recipe helps a lot to get cash for the first items https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Vendor_recipe_system#Full_Rare_Sets
Playstyle & tips
Guardian sentinel summoner is slightly different than Necro in that it needs to get in contact to spawn minions, for this reason it does need to be tanky af. The rest is about the same, you rely on your minions for damage each one dealing 200-450k deeps. How minions and summoner works: Minions go where your cursor and action is pointing at. It means that if you move somewhere, minions will start going to that point. The same principle applies for attacks and spells at any range. Once you got the hang of this principle, you will notice that sometimes you are faster than your minions, and this is a lot of lost damage and slows you down to abysmal levels. The solution to this, is manual cast Convocation that is basically a minion bomb on top of your char. With convocation you can move where you need to be and then move the minions where they need to be. Spam flasks -> run to pack -> tag with Dominating blow -> minion bomb with conviocation -> move to next. Once you learn this cycle your summoner will get as fast as any other build. The main advantage of minion builds is that obviously your minions are chasing stuff while you're doing something else, this means that you get an edge in damage application while stopping to loot or while kiting for example, and this is how summoners mainly keep up the pace compared to attack/caster builds WIP Gives streamers & friends queue priority and leaves supporters who spent hundreds $ packs in the 100k queue.

" Thanks! I considered it as well, scourge + prism guardian and triple purity aura looks amazing. Damage was a concern however and coloring 5R1G on a shav wrapping would be quite a challenge/investment. Anyway i'll make one with scourge+prism guardian someday, maybe using something like herald of purity, animate weaps, or smite Gives streamers & friends queue priority and leaves supporters who spent hundreds $ packs in the 100k queue.

Hi, i'm pretty new to PoE in terms of knowledge I usually just follow very in-depth guides. What are some leveling uniques I should use? This is my 2nd character so I have some money to spend, and what gems to use early game?

Thank you very much! I did not know that at all about the 6L at level 40 and the prophecy. I just picked up smite and will use that to level up!
