!!! Updated 8/31/22: I have included an updated League Start PoB tailored to LoK 3.19 to get you through the campaign and transition to maps on a budget. I will be releasing updated PoBs to cover more end-game setups soon. But this should get most people through the next few days. I also plan to release a video on the changes and optimizations for 3.19 once I finish the PoBs and get to see how the economy is shaking out within the first week !!!

  2. Thank you for the update. I personally dropped the baranite because it kept dying and it got old real fast. I appreciate the tip on taking the raise spectre from the hotbar. I forgot a couple times and ended up with a bunch of random spectres

  3. pro tip for specters ! I keep a desecrated gem on my swap weapon with raise specter on my bar swap too. So whenever i need to raise them back i just swap weapons. You lose a gem to level but gain much qol

  4. Will you be bringing this into 3.19?

    My goal is to finally kill the bosses in this game. I usually fight them once or twice, die trying, quit.

    I really want to play Guardian but wondering if I'm better off going generic necromancer build? Thanks in advance.

    Edit: Also, I noticed that Corpsewalker Boots lost the 20-40% increased damage on corpse consumption, but gained Movement Speed per corpse in area. Pretty big nerf.

  5. Stupid question, where is the information about rhex matriarch that he is increasing damage taken? On poedb there is no such information and only few people are saying that it works

  6. Sup dude, a bit late to the party but I wanted to ask if this build could be SSF viable for a newbie. I always played SC trade and I wanted to try something else this league. Would you recommend it as a guardian, or necro or maybe scion ?
    What are your thoughts, thanks in advance

  7. Hey, could you help me? Inb the pob there is a aniamte guardian setup and a carrion golem setup, which one should i use? the gloves and the helmet setup i already planning to use, but im confused with the boots setup. Additionally, whats the gems that you use in the body armour?

  8. It's wild how much this guy does and says that is completely contrary to what I would (or is just factually incorrect/misspoken/wrong). He says stuff like "absolution shotguns" which is just absolutely nonsensical – shotgunning is when projectile skills with multiple projectiles explode (or otherwise hit) to have each extra projectile doing damage to the same target, which normally is not allowed by poe, and amplifies your damage greatly. Diadem is very very very easy to get in ssf, for example, compared to elder/shaper helms which will take a LOT longer. I'm playing with absolution in ruthless, and while in my opinion it's not a great skill, it makes for a very good magic find character. You can see in most of his gameplay clips that only 1 absolution sentinel is up for quite a large portion of the fight. In NO WAY is he EVER doing 40million dps, and he's just flat out incorrect an about so much in this video to the point that it feels like lying to troll new players that don't understand the game yet.
