[3.12] Solo Aurastack Guardian - 70m sDPS with ~90k ehp (3.13 manifesto addressed)
" yeah make sure to link in phys to lightning support, not sure if better than arc but i tried spark, ek, cracking lance while playing this build, most of the gear is the same, you just need to start with 100% lightning or close to it so use phys to lightning support and/or watchers eye as needed. also changed the level 90 pob to https://pastebin.com/3rcsB4f3 Last edited by Snellious on Oct 28, 2020, 6:03:38 AM

Hey decided to switch to this build, but I am doing something wrong that I cannot find out. Compared to your PoB i just cannot achieve that much damage. If you have time, can you look at my PoB and tell me what am I missing. https://pastebin.com/DtteDR9h
I tried with 6 passives with 25% inc effect medium jewels, but that brings me to 1m dmg tops without any of the stuff checked in configuration and yours is 2.2m. I will swap the large cluster for medium cluster near Acrobatics and allocate Zealoth's Oath. Also i have around 20ex to spend and would like some advice what should the next upgrade be apart from getting the medium clusters with %inc effect. Thanks in advance :) | |
" 1. 25% gives a little more than first among but both are better 2. I have stuff checked in my budget pob, you get charges and inspiration, you chill and shock 3. Zealot's Oath/Vitality is most if not all of your ES sustain. 4. You are missing Smite and Righteous Fire, and seem to have 2 gem sockets available for them 5. You also are missing a diamond flask and atziri's promise. Change 2-5 and put a medium where your 3rd large (the one by acro) is and check back in :) Last edited by Snellious on Oct 28, 2020, 9:03:10 AM

As for upgrades on your build...
It depends how much you want to spend, Level 21 gems and auras Alt quality or awakened variant Voices? Then there are upgraded medium clusters, looking for both 25% and either first among or purposeful harbinger, getting 2 https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Heist/Wq7lM9VFm will up your aura effect a lot. You get to a point where aura effect is the almost as good as more (not increased) damage. Last edited by Snellious on Oct 28, 2020, 9:19:25 AM

" That looks pretty nutty! It would be awesome to see some videos of your guardian in action. | |
" I could look into recording software, but arc aurastack vids are out there I'm sure, and they are all the same. Not the fastest mapper but insane tank and single target dps. Last edited by Snellious on Oct 28, 2020, 10:39:54 AM

Problem - No damage, maybe I made some mistake, please see
| |
" Swap malevolence for zealotry, second wind for smite, lose the 3rd large (just put a medium cluster there) and you have 7.2m POB as per https://pastebin.com/vU17TEcf I would also get 21 purities of fire and ice to 90% res cap. otherwise it looks fine, get the 6th medium when you have the skill points for it or you move to voices edit: i missed it but you need to quality your second call of the brotherhood too, that puts it to 7.5m+ POB Last edited by Snellious on Oct 28, 2020, 12:06:34 PM

I don't understand what smite is doing at all. do i use the skill to get the extra damage or what?
also, I tried uploading my POB but it won't upload the cluster gems, cause I was going to ask for some other advice. Otherwise thank you so much for the build its been a ton of fun! | |
" Yes use smite for bosses and tough mobs, it's effect is modified by aura effect which is why it makes such a big difference... I'll look at your build and comment when my internet issues resolve, no POB on my mobile. |
