That's the LL Guardian WI build, not one of my versions (mine will be Inquisitor when I post it).

What's better? Hmm... compare vs the same target?

He has a T16 video: Phoenix
And here's mine: Phoenix

The difference should be pretty easy to see.

i know thats not your version, just wanted to read your opinion between the two :).

As other people asked as well. How did you guys get your body armours? Lucky drop, poe.trade or self craft?

If self craft, just spam spite until you get lucky on es or what's the cheapest move you reckon? :)

What level are you? You can get the diamond skin cluster by 85 which provides some nice resists, and there are some more options afterwards such as getting the last point in the cluster, or going for Faith and Steel/Nullification for a bit of ES and resists if you really need them.

I suppose you could also use a resist belt instead of Auxium until you can get more on your other slots, but you have to be quick on that Heat flask or you'll be in trouble against any cold damage mobs (including Izaro with elemental buffs).

I'm 85 I have the diamond skin cluster. I haven't done the uber lab for 6% all resist ascend yet.
I guess I just need to get better boots/chest and a crystal belt. My ES is up to 6388 now though. Still same resists.

poe.trade

Lucky drops don't happen often enough. Crafting one yourself will likely cost much more than buying one. Unless you are rich enough to go for the very best stuff and can afford to yolo exalt a few. That still requires luck, but that's how I made the one I use on Standard.

First try Atziri too, with one portal left I was pretty sure I ripped the set, so I was shaking pretty hard. At least the loot didn't disappoint.

I used up all my alts trying to roll something good so I just went and bought a 3x T1 regalia for 3 exalts (hybrid, flat ES and int) and yolo exalted it twice. I don't think it would pay off on average, but I got insanely lucky and got T3 ES% and T1 cold res.

Spamming Woes is probably the cheapest way to get something good this league, though Shrieking is definitely going to have a better payoff than Deafening.

As weird as it sounds, I used this build as a Engame Lab speedfarmer. (even went to the extent of getting an offset blightbeak + Prismatic eclipse to leap faster when possible).

I find my clear times satisfying.
Even with my so-so gear Most izaro combinations are ok, a few are just a nono.

Im planning to spend a bit more on gear to slighly boost dmg/ es pool. Currently planning to stay dual curse (as long as I can do most izaro fights without breaking a sweat (i think the only annoying ones might be curses with frenzy or conduit with frenzy). I decided to not use Black sun crest, so I was planning to stay with a rare es helmet and maybe use a perandus signet as 2ndary ring instead of a Doedre's. (Currently dont even need resist on my 2nd ring to cap). I'll be giving up on Artic armour, but with a budget spec, having a rare helmet helps mme get decent amount of max es (No need for that much es on gloves,boots and chest, so cheaper stuff).

Relevant stats currently (not conc effect): https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/171256966218252288/231654924205817856/unknown.png

Tl.DR : Im amazed at how well this build performs for the izaro fight. Most combinations work even with ok gear. (currently maybe under 3ex-ish spent total). Argus is so faceroll. I have like 70% of your current dps and still kill those bosses so fast...

Thanks for making that guide, was fun to adapt it to a medium budget for lab farm. My main is a psn tornado shot, and farming endgame lab is gonna get me the few last pushes in his endgame gear much quicker (Vuln on hit facebreakers mostly ;-))

If you plan on doing mostly Uber Lab, pick the Scion version of this build. It's faster (Raider!), has more ES and higher curse effect (e.g. easier dealing with Izaro). You can indeed stick to dual curse, Izaro is already very slow, you don't need TC against him. So then you can use AoF+CtF+2x Perandus Signets, and support Enfeeble with Enhance. And a rare helmet instead of Black Sun for even more ES at the price of some DPS. You don't need a lot of DPS for Izaro.
