[3.28] Tiger King - Dominating Blow of Inspiring - Farrul Bloodline Guardian
" Yup! Not all of your crit chance is accounted for in the tooltip, Assassin's Mark and Animate Guardian's Brittle ground boots aren't included in tooltip numbers. Including Assassin's Mark and Power Charges your PoB is showing ~83% crit chance without enemies standing on Brittle ground, swapping to a 50-55% crit chance flask suffix bumps that to ~89%. Your claw is also missing a % crit chance suffix, even a crafted tier of % increased crit chance would bump you up by +14-16% crit chance in your PoB to approach crit cap. That said, while enemies are standing on Brittle Ground you should already be roughly hitting crit cap, but you could invest into the above options to make it more consistent. (for some reason Brittle ground isn't feeling quite as consistent this league) Last edited by Gerrador#4355 on Mar 20, 2026, 1:48:29 AM

Wanted to share my POB to help further our build. I did not invent this tech, but abusing a massive thread of hope combined with timeless jewel I'm able to grab +80% minion damage from my brutal restraint in the Templar Area on relevant nodes. I abused the same location last league with elegant hubris getting 240% increased minion damage, but wanted to try something different this time around. Yoke of suffer with scorch boots on animate guardian and Perfect Primal Demiurge for sap could be very strong. |

" Looks like a solid variation for sure! I had originally written off both Marshal of Divinity and accuracy investment to drop Hits can't be Evaded on wep as being noncompetitive, but glad to see the numbers can work! Ashes or Yoke are definitely solid offensive options, especially going resistance shredding route w/ chill/ignite/shock/scorch rather than Inevitable Judgement or Unholy Trinity for res ignore. Also helps going for accuracy investment like in your version since we would need less excess reses on gear to make up for Bonemeld's -res per allied minion modifier, albeit at the cost of passive global defences; makes sense you went hybrid to capitalize more on the Thread of Hope life nodes and didn't need as much for your ES pool. I'm coming around a little more to Marshal's 80% phys as extra lightning as an Inevitable Judgement replacement, particularly for the Unholy Trinity variation that wants phys/lightning/chaos or a version using Invert the Rules. The Thread of Hope can definitely still be solid value even without the three life nodes allocated, would need to cut a few cluster points to fit it in while pathing to CI for pure ES, but could be worth it. This league at the top-end though it can feel a little less strong losing 13% minion dmg + 8% aps small nodes to pick up 20% inc minion dmg notables. All-in-all some neat changes that are definitely worth trying out! Edit: hope you don't mind, added a quote to your PoB link as a variant in the guide for other people to check out! Wouldn't want it to get lost in the replies. Last edited by Gerrador#4355 on Mar 21, 2026, 11:31:40 PM

I guess with Congregation support you have 5 spectres? Which 5 are you using? Can you also update main post with that information?
I'm mostly asking because this is my first minion build ( while it isn't strictly minion build, minions, spectres and animate guardian are huge part of this build ) and I'm still pretty lost in how to maximize them. For example, I've been completely ignoring the fact that one notable passive skill increases my spectre limit by 1 and I was wondering for a week how you have 4 of them while I can have only 2 without lvl 25 spectre gem 😂. |

" Thanks for reminding me! Been meaning to update that. Currently with 5 spectres I'm running Blasphemer, Perfect Judgemental Spirit, Perfect Forest Tiger (Carnage Chieftain at low budget), Spectral Leader, and Perfect Forest Warrior. (in order of importance, drop either Forest Warrior or Spectral Leader w/o Congregation) |
