WIP help needed - pure defensive support guardian
Hi all,
Useless introduction (but please read it) The idea is simple, close your eyes and imagine your perfect support mate you want to bring everywhere. Well, sorry to disappoint you, this mate will not be your girlfriend :(. True concept
Spoiler
The idea is to build a guardian with no offensive capabilities but with a ton of survivability/utility. More precisely I want to focus on unwavering faith / radiant faith combo. How ? Have as much aura as I'm able to / have as much LIFE reservation (because armour bonus given by radiant is far more interesting for me) as reasonable. The goal is to take as many life / mana reduction reservation as possible and to take BLOOD MAGIC (for mortal conviction mostly). Notable keystones
Spoiler
blood magic / iron reflexes / elemental equilibrium (I will run at most 2 elemental damage auras).
Aura/unique
Spoiler
Alpha's Howl (well, obvious) with 1 enlighten / 3 purity (ice/fire/lightning)
Prism guardian with determination / discipline and maybe grace or enlighten Victario's influence with hatred / haste / clarity / herald of ice / enlighten / empower or enhance Conqueror's efficiency (one jewel socket) enfeeble + curse on hit + chaos golem (1h weapon) ball lightning + GMP + spell echo + inc AOE (boots or gloves) 1 mobility skill + enduring cry (for power charge) + maybe rejuvenation totem (boots or gloves) stats for the other slots = life / regen / chaos resistance / ES mostly Skill tree so far

Ascendency : harmony of purpose / prayer of glory / unwavering/radiant faith Life reservation simulation

It's the first build of this kind I'm doing but not my first build (I do a lot of experimentation). But even with a +211% maximum life / 5.1% life/s regenerated / 153% armour and 71% es, I don't know if : 1) I have enough defence considering using 9 (10 maybe) auras and blood magic. 2) it's not totally overkill in terms of defence for my mates 3) my mates will have enough damage boost from me I apologize for any mistake, and I thank you for reading this and I hope you can bring me some help (hope it is not too unpleasant to read) The owls are not what they seem. My suggestions : 1) Repeatable quest for threshold jewels : https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1992137 2) Party Self Found leagues : https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1964558 Last edited by N1ohöggr on Dec 1, 2016, 1:42:58 PM Last bumped on Feb 2, 2017, 11:26:29 AM

I found this mostly by acident when looking for something else.
But i had to reply. Your build has one big problem and that is that you wont survive. Reserving life makes you quite exposed to any damage. For that reason every working guardian build i have ever seen use Energy shield to give them some buffer and to be able to sustin damage. For an example look here: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1596467 Best regards and be safe |
