[3.22/Ruthless] Absolution Guardian
|
Hello ,
Guardian got reworked in 3.22 and offer 3 Aura which scale with character level (Wrath/Hatred/Anger)/ a taunt minion / 15% spell block /Every 4s recover 100 % Life For 3.22 , I advise to play Guardians for the 3 Aura / New Sentinel of Radiance , he required a bit more gear and minion survivability to invest but He still be a better League Starter and overall. you can still find the alternative Necromancer guide https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3362540/page/1#p25053924 POB: Carefull you have 2 gem skill setup 1 hardcore // 1 softcore https://pobb.in/D10QtL21Go4M End-game vision : Actual Character in Crucible League : https://poe.ninja/challenger/builds/char/Gavinu2b/ThorZeusInnocence?i=5&search=class%3DNecromancer https://poe.ninja/builds/crucibler/character/Gavinu2b/IamyourG_Pet?i=7&search=class%3DGuardian Ruthless mode : The Ruthless is a veteran mode for people who seek a challenge via less Playerpower ( gear , ascendancy , link ) To summurize it : /You have no support gem until you drop them /Ascendancy Power are nerfed compare to normal mode /Active skill Gems are lock behind a class (you can buy only 3 active skill Gem from Siosa - act 3 - during one character full campaign ) /No bench craft /Less currency , less Rare-Unique Item drop /No perma Uptime on Utility flask ( don't gain flask charge during effect) /Movement skill are disabled ( you have a quickstep -bad and cheap dash with high cd - Conc path - ambush) /Gems gain 1/4 of the normal XP value /Harvest/Betrayal/Beastary different reward/craft This is more a leveling guide for Ruthless beginner to run smoothly in the campaign and early maps . Why smooth: Thank to the Tree and Ascendancy the Elemental Resistances are almost all Maxed early and enough Life node to have an Easy time during Campaign & Early Maps Good Life Reg , thank to Vitality and Holyflame Totem . Some block chance Minion meat wall The new Vaal-Absolution is Insanly strong , you can clear the whole screen in 1s thanks to his ability or even Melt boss like a white mob . I recommend to vaal your Absolution , Vaal-absolution 20 > Absolution 21 IF you don't like Absolution you have a srs setup Cons of the build : Minions die more often in campaign - early maps because they have less life due to underlevel gem from XP gem penality of Ruthless. Absolution have 25 % to summon a sentinel that mean it can happens time to time to not summon minions after 6-7 cast vs single target Rare/Unique Ennemie (rare but annyoing) Starting to summon Absolution again blue pack can be a bit painful. ( specialy in Harvest encounter) How to start : Make 3 Characters , 1 Marauder , 1 Witch , 1 Templar , then follow notes in PoB for each active skill choice. Act 1 : Juggle your Gear/Skill between your mule and Main (Witch/Templar) . Keep them close as same level/area , until your finish with the Gem muling . Start with Srs & zombie and Holyflame totem it should carry you easily again Brutus During Campaign : The build is played like a Minion army build - Absolution as aoe clearer vs white and blue SrS vs Boss - yellow monster Carrion Golem buff carry Hard when synergise with a lot of Minions Both leveling tree for each ascendancy More Tips and Guidance into Notes Offensif Scaling: Gem level : Minion/spell/Lightning/Physical Minion Damage Minion Attack/Cast speed Lightning Resistance Penetration Minion Critical Chance/Critical Damage Defensif Scaling: Life Gain on block Life Physical damage reduction Elemental Resistance Chaos Resistance Armour / ES Updated : 16 August 2023 Last edited by Gavinu2b on Aug 24, 2023, 5:18:05 PM Last bumped on Aug 27, 2023, 7:35:39 PM

looks ok, good amount of notes to read too, and lots of variations to tree

This is not a guide per se, even still very useful though.
If you keep updating or posting it here with some text etc, that would end up being really great. Like pros/cons of Necro/Guardian, meaning of Auras HC build you got in options, etc. I will probably give this a try to pass the campaign, good work anyway. Any suggestion after that? What would be useful is something like priorities in case you get some supports. I mean, for each active skill you recommend, putting the "ideal" 4 or 5 link setup, and somehow ranking them from desirable to less desirable.

So, why is this not split into the respective subforums?
I don't know why I have forum access, even. Or why I didn't adblock it until now.
PM's through this site, or emails, will not be seen whatsoever. | |
