Help! on LLRF Guardian build in poe 3.8

After completing end game content with my slayer cyclone, I decided to make llrf guardian build to face tank everything and never worry about dying. I'm currently at level 75, but my biggest problem right now is that my es regen is not fast enough to facetank. My goals are to be able to face tank everything and have about 20k es at least to, later on, try afk uber elder runs. Please let me know if you guys know some good llrf builds for poe 3.8 (currently playing seasonal so no legacy gears based ones please like demi's). Also let me know if you guys have any suggestions on gears, jewels, passive skills please provide a pob so that I can easily follow through if you guys can. Thanks

Alright, this is where I am right now. Please ignore the pastebin up there. Pastebin: https://pastebin.com/4r5azTbG
I followed some other people's advice as well and tried out the memory vault for my helmet, but I'm still struggling with my es regen not being fast enough. I obviously need more es as well. I feel like I'm not doing damage that I should be doing as well. Please let me know what you think. Please take a look at my passive skills as well as ascendency.

Hi there,

first of all Mana Guardian has been nerfed since 3.8 patch bcos of Healthy mind jewel being limited to one!.
I haven´t checked it closely but some tips I have in mind right now

- Get Crystal Shaper belt with "(16–20)% increased Energy Shield Recovery rate" to boost your recovery (regen)
- Craft flat mana/ES on your rings (attack damage is useless)
- Watcher´s Eye with an expensive mana as ES mod (or Discipline recovery mod; both ideally)
- Getting Energy from Within jewel + allocating Melding instead of Watchers there
- 30 strength node is quite valuable
- Annointment on amulet - Utmost Might probably
- Replace boots for better rare
- Finish flasks

Hello and thank you for getting back to me. What kind of rf build do you recommend then if llrf has been nerfed.

I mean Healthy mind mana interaction has been nerfed (jewel limited to ne)
It´s harder to stack enough mana. You need to balance mana / ES nodes now.
The build should still work (you can´t probably reach same amount of ES / armour though).

I see well can you tell me what are the pros/cons for chieftain rf build and llrf guardian build? It's my very 1st season playing as well as my first time building a rf build. Trying to figure out which one would be better to make honestly. I already have a level 71 chieftain ready to go and this guardian. Also if you know a good build to follow and use it as a reference please let me know. Thanks!

I haven´t played Chieftain myself but Guardian should have more ES pool and tankiness while being more expensive (also harder to gear) and lacking easy use of life flask to recover life.
Try to check character section on forum to see specific builds (check for 3.8 update).

Alright will do. Btw for the watcher's eye for guardian llrf, I know the first priority stat that I should be looking for is increased energy shield recovery rate, but for the 2nd one is it better to have "energy shield gain for each enemy hit" or "Regenerate #% of Energy Shield per Second while affected by Discipline"? What is the difference? Which would benefit more for the llrf build?
Also can't seem to really find a good build to follow, I've been following the poe ninja build llrf build guys, but that really doesn't help much for me since I'm still pretty new at this game.

Let me know what you think

(20-30)% increased Energy Shield Recovery Rate while affected by Discipline and Gain (12-18)% of Maximum Mana as Extra Maximum Energy Shield while affected by Clarity are probably the most wanted mods for RF build.
The first buffs ES regen and the second total amount of ES (= RF damage, higher ES pool --> better regen too)
The mana mode will be expensive (especially in good combination so take whatever fits your build).

The mods you have mentioned:
"energy shield gain for each enemy hit" --- good for ES sustain (CWDT + ball lightning + GMP -- good in delve)

"Regenerate #% of Energy Shield per Second while affected by Discipline"
Recovery rate is much better mod but it´s a decent mod --- I would probably prefer on hit mod but it depends on situation…).

The tree looks solid. You can take Influence for an extra 1% fire res; ES and Armour once you get some levels.

Thanks for that info. This is my current pastebin: https://pastebin.com/JX0cR3bc
Currently waiting for the right seller to sell me the watcher's eye with both of those stats inc es recovery rate as well as gain #% of maximum mana as extra maximum es for a reasonable price. Right now I'm still struggling because my es regen is not still fast enough. How do I increase my es regen rate so that I can facetank everything instead of running away... Any suggestions? Also do you have any suggestions on my current gear? I already spent some exalted on this build and I regret doing it but might as well try to finish this build and make it good. I just wish I knew that this build got nerfed before I started but now it's too late haha. Well let me know if you have any suggestions my gear and how to increase my es regen fast enough so that I can just facetank everything. Thanks.
Also if you have a pastebin that you can share with me so that I can take a look at it and use it as a guide please do.
