I'm thinking the next move would be to get a Vulnerability-on-hit modded gloves to work with the Shield Charge? What do you think?

Also, in terms of jewels, I've got:
3 x To Dust
1 x Glorious Vanity
1 abyss for Hinder (with Corrupted Blood immunity)
1 abyss for Taunt
Do you think there's room for improvement?

Again, thanks for the guidance :D

How does the essence worm ring with with pride interact with Dread Banner? Doesn't it make it reserve an additional 40% mana defeating the purpose of the ring all together?

Not sure you'll curse many target with the Shield Charge but sure, feel free to try.
Maybe remove one To Dust to get a Ghastly with life/minion dmg if you've used minion skill recently/minions have a chance to blind on hit.
Most of the mobs end up blinded fairly quickly like this, giving you 50% evade chance against them. Nice for survivability.

Pride inside Essence Worm make it reserve no mana instead of 50%. Essence worm make your other auras reserve 40% more mana. So Dread Banner which normally reserves 10% now reserves 14% (10%*1.4), which is still low.

So, continuing the Animate Guardian discussion I'm thinking of putting (Zombies - Meat Shield- Minion Life - Animate Guardian). I currently have it setup like this:

But since their damage is, while not terrible, (like 900k dps), what we care about is the Skeleton damage anyway, with the Animate Guardian with Kingmaker on, their damage increases even more and we get Fortity, so I want to give them Life so they never die (they almost never do anyway) and meat shield for increased defensive to myself.

Thoughts?

If you mean life on animate guardian then you need to look out for %increased life, flat life barely does anything on them as they got a massive hp pool

Hello,

I played this build on Softcore SSF, and it was quite amazing.


Now I am planning to play it on HC, and I'd love to know what kind of changes would you take for serious survivability? Should I take immortal call? Anything different? Is this even as viable for HC as other builds?

Thanks for your time

Switching to a +1/+1 wand and using ahn's heritage shield, also an armor only chest (easy to color using 3 blue or 2 blue 1 green if you do impale as the other 3 are red). Then changing tree up a tad (check my profile) for more life on tree and dropping some minion dmg nodes / MoM.

A few of us have been experimenting and from my experience, it's far far FAR more tanky. DPS is still higher too with the impale setup. Using pride and impale I get plenty of dmg.

Survival i'm 8k hp, 56% phys reduction, 80/79/79/78 (chaos) res and 29% block. I use a perfect rumi's to bump that to 49% and a taste of hate for more phys reduction. Also the phys as cold dmg part of taste adds even more defense then listed due to 79% cold reduction.

When I ran the MoM version I would get 2 hit all the time in T15+s. Now it's more like 4-5 hit so tons more breathing room to gtfo.

Others have also used the timeless jewel for ES based on life for another 2k ES. You could very easily still take MoM and not reserve Pride and only use impale with generosity as it reserves so little mana. With the jewel, MoM still and different pathing you can get all I listed above while also getting 10-14k ehp. You skeles will still do plenty of dmg for all content. I feel this is too much survival but I don't play hardcore so I can't comment. Others have also dropped flesh offering for the more defensive ones. You could do the ES offering if you take the ES timeless jewel, or if you go pure life no MoM like me but use Ahn's then Bone Offering will give you even more block with rumi's and prob make you far tankier as well. I haven't tried that yet as I haven't felt the need. On HC though I could see using Bone.

I can say with just the pure life switch and what I posted above, when I have rumi's and taste up, I stand in the middle of metamorph's on T16s, fully sextanted, alch, vaal'd with zana mod and scarab etc and haven't died in like 200 maps.

I appreciate the reply, but I am actually playing SSF HC, so that shield is gonna be hard to get. Any other measures for SSF? Should I get Bone Barrier first as soon as possible?

Wait a Minute, the Guide says get to dust.

But now to dust is Not good?
I got myself one with the immun to corrupted blood. And have 2 in my tree.

What should i Substitute them with?

Those are 2 different jewels:
1. TO DUST - good, adds damage for skellies
2. FROM DUST - not so good

Get TO DUST jewels, those are pretty cool.

What kind of gear do you give the animate guardian besides the Kingmaker?

Found a video which mentioned:
Helmet: Helmet with Increased Max Life & Nearby enemies have reduced armor (Pristine+Jagged)
Body Armour: Gruthkul's Pelt (5% life regen - about 170c)
-maybe overkill if Belly of the beast is enough to not make it die.
Gloves: Southbound Soldier Gloves
Boots: Boots with Increased Max Life, Regen (Pristine)

I guess my question is, which gear is necessary for the guardian not to die?

Dying Breath / Kingmaker + Leer Cast + Victario's Flight + Ambu's Charge / Belly of the Beast + Southbound / Vulnerability on Hit gloves

ALSO, you might want to consider boots with 2% regen on hit enchant + MS

Sorry it seems i am to dumb to understand this.

DO i need to give ALL these items to my guardian?

And where do i put the guardian? IN the link with the Zombies i guess, but what else ? Minion Life and Speed is what i do but i have no idea if its the right thing to do.
