Is the Kingmaker really worth that 1.5 ex price over the Dying Breath? I've only got my wand and guardian to upgrade, so need to know which to focus on first.

Also, as previously mentioned, is there any offensive option for body armour for the guardian? it really is never in the risk of death

There is a real chance of it dying and taking the kingmaker with it. So it depends on whether 1.5ex is easy to throw away for you.

If it is not, then stick with the basic AG because Dying breath is actually a really good weapon because it gives a boost to many things and it's cheap.

I suppose it will be as he's only died once during this chars times so far. 2nd oober elder fight. Nothing before, and none since... and I wasn't geared as I am now, so I guess I answered my own question XD Just levelling at this time, shaped T16 for 100 so no guardians or anything like that... Still worth it though for that sort of thing?

Kingmaker will help him survive too. I don't use Minion Life on my link with AG and he's never under 90% HP in T16 juiced maps or blighted maps

AG can die in Uber Elder or HOGM, you can always unsummon him

AG will absolutely die in HOGM.

However I've never had my AG die in Uber Elder and I've killed Uelder about 20 times this league so far and hes never dipped below 90%. I've done 2 man carries as well with 2man HP scaling and AG was still extremely safe.

I'm tempted to go for Garb of the Ephemeral but 8ex is an absurd price.

For reference I don't even have a Gruthkul on my AG, just a regular Ambu's Charge (with Kingmaker)

You misunderstood me. Zealotry is useless to the player. For spectres itself is a good aura, but the mod on Aul is useless (Hits against Nearby Enemies have 50% increased Critical Strike Chance) since Slave Drivers use spell not hits.

Do spells not hit?

I stand corrected. Mixed up hits and attacks mechanics.

Since the old Aul's mod didnt add any damage to spectre on PoB, I thought it was not working at all, but it does seem to work. Gives roughly 2% more damage to spectres.

All in all, still the same in the end.

Speed/Dexterity(which also means easier resists on other gear/Flask recharge

VS

Small increase in Damage/Survivability (roughly 3% more dmg, 7% more ES)

I have a Kingmaker and Grukthul on my AG and UE doesn't drop it below a sliver of health at all.

I think that I have around 5.5 EX sunk into my AG and it was a total game changer for me.

I don't see anything in your gear that provides that and its -10 to both. And there's two Cold and Lightning. Why?

Does he have Elemental Army? That provides -10% to enemy res. Don't know why the cold damage is ticked as well. Animate Guardian might have helm with -9% to enemy lightning res, but that's indeed -9 and not -10. And only for one element.[/quote]
Yeah you are correct, I forgot to count E.Army :)

Love your first build, the w/s version.
But I want to try the PoH version.

QUESTION:
Why did you do this?

That's a mistake from making the alternate spectre section. I was going to include pastebins, but it started to get too complicated.

I've update the first page with the correct pob pastebin: https://pastebin.com/30Ya26Ja

Thank you so much for the update :) I was just curious coz I might have missed something. Something that I could perhaps replicate it to my build, hence I ask. Keep up what you're doing, love your build! Hell, I never like necro before but damn you enticed me and never had regreted it :)

I never had an uber farmer before, you made it possible for me :P
Thank you!

can someone help explain to me the value that's added by wicked ward? i've tried with and without and have felt almost zero defensive differences.

Without wicked ward, you'll never regen your ES as long as you get hit.

With wicked ward, the moment you start regen, you have 4 second of "grace period" where getting hit wont stop the regen.

It's night and day really. Cant not tell the difference. It helps a lot defensively to keep your ES up for MoM, otherwise you'll be out of ES all the time and take full damage to your life pool.
