[3.10] Herald of Agony Mana Guardian | 2.5 Minute Sirus 8 | Deathless T19 100% Delirium

Yeah I definitely need to fix my hear and get some more life until I make the CI switch! That's fair. But I feel like the damage just isn't quite there yet, and I'm usually capping stacks in most fights. Boss fights are the worst, though just clearing through story progression feels a little rough -- not awful by any means, but it's definitely not as 'trivial' as other minion or strong 'meta' builds.

This is NOT a knock on the build, this is me thinking I'm not doing something right.

Just wondering, how do you keep minions at full HP? Since there are no regen nodes allocated on the tree, is convocation enough to keep them healthy?

Herald minions are invulnerable.

No no I meant the additional minions, like the animated guardian (or carrion golemn if you use it) as well as the Spectres themselves

This league bosses were all buffed big time, like 400% life, more armor and resist.

I suggest take your character from last league and run the same content it had access to in standard just once to feel the difference. Just do one shaper or the highest map tier you completed.

So the game is harder for every build. You are playing a meta build already (Herald of Agony is the most popular skill for Guardian), but not a meta class (Guardian along with Juggernaut are considered late bloomers, they are near bottom in popularity first week of the league).

When you block you heal your minions, also convocation.

Feeling pretty hard to gear right now.

-Shaper's Touch is 4ex
-Watcher's Eye is like 10ex
-Skin of the Loyal is like 1ex
-Circle of Nostalgia with the right mods is around 2ex
-Lethal Pride is 4ex

I don't think we can really recommend this as a budget build anymore. Watcher's Eye is obviously a luxury item, but the core stuff is still going to cost you like 7ex just to get started.

I will use this guys gear as budget POB. I think this is very reachable for everyone. He still has 14K energy shield which is pretty insane for no clarity watchers eye (will move to ultra luxury items) and shapers touch (will move to key upgrades).

1EX for Skin of Royale is budget vs all other mainstream 6EX items.

Thoughts on using Arakaali's Fang in this build?

I guess. Feels a little ghetto rolling without Shaper's Touch for so long.

What do you think about using Aegis Aurora instead of the Whakatutuki O Matua shield? Or Grip of the Council instead of Shaper's Touch?

Also, Apep's Slumber is a good stop gap shield until you can get something better. Gives chaos damage, so you don't need CoN.

Is there a reason why we don't take Grave Intentions for Unholy Might buff?
I guess its only active during mapping and not so much during bosses.
Delving should be up all the time.

Is it possible to play this build with rare itens? At least initially? I dont intend to do deep delving, only bosses, league mechanics and high tier maps.
I play on PS4 and probably memory vault, skin of the loyal and Shapers touch will cost a lot.

Just wondering, on Death Attunement, why don't we take the two life/regen nodes instead of the damage nodes? I mean, keeping Spectres, and maybe even an equipped AG alive is a bit of a priority and the damage nodes are really small.

At the very least it would be a little help while our block chance is down without a Lethal Pride, meaning we proc the regen from the shield less often.
