[3.25-Ruthless] Absolution Guardian
Hello ,
3.22/Guardian reworked 3.23/Nerf to the late-game scaling of Auras & Sentinel of Radiance [85->80 character level scaling] Its melee damage has been reduced by roughly 50%, and the damage and area of their burn has been reduced by roughly 50%. 3.24/No change 3.25/Bandit reward reworked / 10% of Damage from Hits is taken from your Sentinel of Radiance's Life before you (previously 20%) /Divine blessing support removed from the game but March of Legion still exist 3.25 , I advise to play to play this build as a League starter , he scale well and start extremly strong with the sentinel , you can reach map without any res & gear issue and a little dmg upgrade(support/gem level/minion multiplier) be smooth to reach tier 16 // can be used in solo or party play. Probably one of the best Character to start in Ruthless before rerolling . POB: https://pobb.in/ckR-pkoim-4x Ruthless mode : The Ruthless is a veteran mode for people who seek a challenge via less Playerpower ( gear , ascendancy , link ) can be compare to a Diablo2-like 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 Here a link to vendor recipe in Ruthless: https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Vendor_recipe_(Ruthless) https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Immortal_Syndicate_(Ruthless) Pro of this build: He offer 3 Aura which scale with character level (Wrath/Hatred/Anger)-(scale up to level 80 character)/ a taunt minion(scale up to level 80 character)/ 15% spell block /Every 4s recover 100 % Life / 10 % hit dmg taken by Sentinel Radiance An Tree with Elemental Resistances are almost all Maxed early and enough Life node to have an Easy time during Campaign & Early Maps Sentinel Radiance help with Absolution summoning & carry the whole campaign Good Life Reg , thank to Vitality and Holyflame Totem early campaign , stone golem & ascendancy "Time of Needs" in Atlas maps. Minions meat wall (distracting monster and protecting from projectiles) 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 Cons of the build : Cannot run Elemental Reflect Map 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) Spell echo lock you in place during the cast of Absolution , resolve with some cast speed from (gear ,Haste aura) Starting to summon Absolution again blue pack can be a bit painful. ( specialy in Harvest encounter) Radiance help with that 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 Before Domninus go do Labyrinth and get Ascendancy Sentinel of Radiance (he carries the whole campaign),this Minion is extremly SLOW and have a burning aura. Unfortunatly, he needs to be convocate -> feel free to buy Convocation instead of Raise Specter at Siosa . More Tips and Guidance into PoB Notes Offensif stats Scaling: Gem level : Minion/spell/Lightning/Physical Minion Damage Minion Attack/Cast speed Lightning Resistance Penetration (only from curse / support gem / exposure) Minion Critical Chance/Critical Damage Defensif stats Scaling: Life Physical damage reduction Elemental Resistance Chaos Resistance Armour / ES Block chance Qol stats: Movement speed Cast speed Updated : 24 August 2024 Last edited by Gavinu2b on Sep 7, 2024, 7:03:04 PM Last bumped on Aug 24, 2024, 10:21:11 AM

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 am emotionally & mentally drained through the sharking waters.
