Animate Guardian
|
Put my guardian to the test today vs malachai, jungle valley spider and that village ruin shit boss...
Its confirmed a REAL TANK. To all in doubt, just buy a leer cast, cassock and dying breath. Its worth it and he really doesnt die that easy. Might just be nice to see his equipped gear. Vorici can shove his fuse up his [removed]

my summoner flamingskulls_swe is level 92 in warbands league and my guardian has not yet died.
i have leer cast + dying breath + zahndethus cassock + blood dance on him. also some rare gloves. i was expecting him to die at some point and time so i have an extra set of uniques but i am very surprised that i haven't had to use them at all. would be nice to be able to see currently equipped items on him. other than that he's pretty cool and very tanky but i am just using him for the buffs to my other minions and party members. i give this skill a 4/5 rating. if we could see currently equipped items i would give a 5 rating i think.

I'll copy with my impresions directly from my culler guide (thread 943897 if anyone is interested). Bear in mind my build runs all defensive auras with the exception of determination, so it already has around 3% life regen.
My biggest doubts are which armour provides higher survivability, and if it's better to use the curse on hit gloves or the 16% increased life ones.

DO NOT ATTEMP THIS IF YOUR GEMS AREN'T MAX LEVEL
There is a free 4L in my build. I was running cast when damage taken-empower-golem-temporal chains before, you can do it if you want. But I wanted to push the limits of the build further, so I tried animated guardian with those links His survivability is higher than chaos golem, but sometimes you have to be careful and run away. From lvl 96 to 97 I needed to do that around 5 times. Bosses to avoid(Hide guardian before doing those)

Academy. Never try, tornado's mechanic are retarded.
Crematorium. It's ok on a good party, otherwise hide it. Palace. I haven't tried, but I think should be okay. Definitely I'll try it when AG hit lvl 20 and empower 3/4. Maps from 82 bosses. I haven't been in any 82, so I can't provide anything useful here. Best gear for the guardian I can think off

I've geared him up to clear the Apex of Sacrifice, including Atziri by himself.
I really wish he wouldn't taunt as much as he does and it would be nice to be able to link an attack gem to it. Results: Apex of Sacrifice up to the trio boss: https://youtu.be/k2ZhffcKwtE Atziri herself: https://youtu.be/OjnLVp7IfLA Last edited by Varras on Oct 30, 2015, 10:36:02 PM

Question to GGG (or to anyone who has tried it).
Can AG have power charges? It might be worth it to use voll's protector + Lochtonial Caress. Culler-support build: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1617230

" Yeah he can have power charges, all minions can. Lochtonial Caress wont let him share charges though as he is not in a party with anyone. My supporter items: Victario's Charity and The Forsaken Last edited by Mokihiki on Nov 15, 2015, 10:49:45 AM

Hi,
I will try AG in the next league for the first time and I have a question about a idea which came in my mind: Can I put my AG gem into a Chober Chaber, summ the AG (so he gets the +2 minion lvl & the increased maximum life from chover chaber), afterwards take the AG gem out, switch weapon and put it into my normal gear. If I re-summon the AG, would it still have the benefits from the chober chaber? | |
" It wont work. It's not possible to snapshot minions like that anymore. My supporter items: Victario's Charity and The Forsaken

" Ok, thx for the fast answer. | |
|
If you put skill gems into a mjollner, and then animate a guardian with it, does the guardian cast the spells on hit like an ordinary character, or are the skill gems consumed when it's equipped?
