the frozen and chilled issue
I found it very difficult to get the frozen, chilled mods on senseful boots, but even having over 10K ES and 7.8 Mio Shaper Dmg I died sometimes especially in delve by just getting frozen and wasnt able to recover any ES through block or hits.
To solve this I changed from 2 Circles of Nostalgia to only 1 and gave up 10% of damage so now I have only 7.1 Mio dmg (without counting the damage increase against shocked enemies, because I run Skitters).
My second ring now is
and that made the difference, I am not dying anymore not in 300 delve, not in T16 Delirium maps
and its much easier to find the resistances on senseful boots like those
instead of chilled, frozen and movement speed mods on boots and res on other items.
For all of us who dont have mirrors falling out of the sky to buy the best possible gear for this build "Dream Fragments" ring seems a good alternative to me and I am still able to run hatred, discipline and skitterbots although I have only 48% reduced mana bonus for my HoA on 1 nostalgia ring
have fun

It's worth only as a temporarily solution, as it's obviously worse than 2 circles of nostalgia + boots with immune to freeze and chill. You can craft such boots for just 3ex + some alts to catch necessarily mods.
As alternative, you can use boots with only no freeze mod... Imo it's still better than loosing second circle of nostalgia.
P/S For those who still don't have immune to freeze craft reciepe - the fastest way to get it is just to buy a couple of veiled boots with Rin mod. They cost smth like 10-15c per each - not a big spending... As alternative - find someone who has already unlocked it and still playing the league :)
First, I would like to thank the OP for all the effort in posting the build. I tested numerous builds that I found in search of the one that best fits my style of play, and the ones that attracted me most were Necromancer. However, his survival is not as expected and that was when I came across this beautiful Mana Guardian build. It has everything I like: ES, Minions and Survival. My intention is to get used to the build to start it in the next league and always stay with it.
As I still don't have much experience in the game, I have some doubts about how the damage of this build scales. As I understand it, my damage comes from the Herald of Agony, where the crawler appears and does the damage for me. So the damage of the build is onlu minion damage? Can Spell Damage, Crit, Elemental Damage be used? Is correct?
Another thing I couldn't understand: If I use Ball Lightning to activate the Elemental Equilibrium, why are the clusters based on Lightning Damage? Isn't the build damage based on poison / chaos and ice (hatred)?
As I had some currency, I followed the build of “Kyuhlee Full POB with Cluster Jewels”, witch i like in general. But I am feeling that damage is missing. As I don't know how to configure POB correctly, I would like to know if someone could tell me what my DPS is and what changes I could make to include a Watchers Eye with ES on hit when affected by Discipline.
My POB is this: https://pastebin.com/MPNxFEzj
Anyway, I feel that the build is extremely good and fun! Thank you
Finally did 20/20 simulacrum :D. Now only Shaper and Uber Elder left.
I changed a lot in my gear recently: with 3 Amethyst Ring and 3 Heraldry, I can use SkitterBots now.
The offensive side feels good, 2m7 DPS, can kill bosses way easier than before. But the defensive side feels worse: I died more than before (when having Flesh and Stone actives).
Can someone takes a look at my PoB and tell me what is wrong?

P/s: Vaal 4 Raise Spectre and not one turns out good. FeelsBad.

I have cannot be frozen craft if anyone needs, hit me up in game.
Have done all content on this build and loved it, one of the best I have played for tankiness. Have just moved to the herald stacker just to try it before they nerf.
Good luck to all, this build is great if you keep improving it.

i went half heraldry/half disciples then ran discipline and herald of purity. Found i didnt need the dps auras other than hatred. Also made getting rings of nostalgia easy as you dont need max res reduction on HOA. 12% spell block/5% ES on block on shield was great (i was lucky to get a +1 to phy spells which is great but not needed imo) and i ran deflection as an annoint. With the E/S on hit watchers you extremely tanky.

Thanks!
For the Watcher it's over budget for me now.
Can I ask why Herald Of Purity? It doesn't add any damage for HoAg. And damage buff is not applied for HoAg. Or these summons are just for tank?
I discovered that with 2 Amethyst ring, charisma and nodes in mana reservation, you don't even need Heraldry anymore.

For me it was just defence. But everyone feels a different need of off/def. I tend to play a bit more defensively as i hate dying but the DPS was still fine with the gear i had

Yeah I hate dying too. I'm trying to squeeze some defensive skills with minium mana reserved but that seems hard.
Still I have one question: I think we use SkitterBots not because of their damage but their shock/chill effect and HoAg does so much more damage with Shocked enemies.
I see in your PoB config that you still check option "Is enemy shocked". But where does "shock" come from with no SkitterBots?
