I am SO GLAD someone had the time to revive herald of purity this league, I just dont have the time but this is basically exactly how i would have gone about it. amazing work
I love that you take fairly cheap items and off-meta skills and still manage to make very solid characters. As you stated Herald of Purity of is not a very popular skill so you built it cheap and it still does better than 90% of people's Meta builds.
Awesome build! Aside from being cheap, main benefits over SRS are (1) sentinels are targetable, so you take much fewer hits and (2) no need to bother with gem swapping, i found that area attack of sentinels is sufficient aoe (at least with cd reduction from medium clusers + having extra one from helm enchant) One thing I found useful is annointing charisma + getting good reservation rolls on amulet and rings (cheap this late) allows you to run determination or haste w/o relying on AG. As soon as I did that and put determination in, I stopped randomly dying in maps. Otherwise you may want to do what's in the video and have + endurance charges on grand spectrum but that's definitely more expensive.
If you're doing cold, it's totally worth picking up the Primal Crushclaw. They're really easy to get since it's a t3 beast, you can see it on the plot before you even fight them. They help a ton with cold damage, do good damage, but most importantly, they're virtually indestructible which I think is essential for spectres since they're such a pain to resummon.
i think i mention better spectres around the time i start mapping showcase, i was just kinda lazy about hunting down the better spectres, im not sure how arena guy ended up in my descrate pool because i wasn't even going to track that down.
@@CaptainLance9 just join global 6666, we have so manny players with every specter you could ever want to get, with ppl reggularly posting that they are a specter bank, and what specters they have in their pool, then you just pm them, get an invite (dont invite the specter bank, it cleares the hideouts memory), then just join the players hideout, and desecrate away to you get your wanted specter :D
Glad you are mentioning those visual errors. I didn‘t see the memory game in two maven tries. In one fight maven and her abilities got missing visually after I killed the brain… sucks dying to such errors
My Guardian build I started league with has been Absolution primary, but I did utilize HoP and played with SEVERAL very successful Spectre groups (3-4 active at a time). Spectres from Crusader-Influenced, a few various Legion chads (namely Lion Guard) and of course Primal Rhex Matriarch. Stayed low budget all the way through Atlas completion and normal boss kills. Very smooth league start. I, too, am not much of a minion build enjoyer usually.
I super appreciate the regular chest instead of the +3 in the showcase. I play enough to know it doesn’t matter that much, but I also played enough to appreciate the extra diligence. Everyone else did better than me describing how amazing it is to get a 6L HoP build and seeing all the new uniques at work 🎉
I really liked using Phase Run to guarantee the Spell Block from Guardian. It's CD perfectly lines up with it and you can have it on left-click (the movement speed and phasing is a huge plus and affects shield charge).
It's amazing for filling the spaces between charging and using skills (while your minions kill things). It's also an incredible tool for just moving around and avoiding damaging, for a left-click. I mean, it's either that or an unreliable guard skill, instead of CWDT. On top of the fact that it doesn't need to last, to get the benefit from the Guardian. @@gabrielsmith3993
I've been having the visual bugs all over the game since the graphics update they did before league. Expedition and bossing have been very frustrating.
It’s funny, I was thinking about a very similar setup for a flame golem Elementalist just yesterday. The Utula’s Hunger + replica dragonfang combo is really nice for low-budget minion builds bc it addresses one of the main pain points: Difficulty in acquiring enough life and defensive layers on gear while also having enough damage to feel good. For the minion helmet for example there are plenty decent helmets on the market for under 100c that just don’t have life. Similarly it’s much easier to get good 3-stat minion rings.
Isnt gravebinder on the AG bad for you? Since herald of purity also spawns the minions on kill. but YOU have to kill them. so with gravebinders on the AG you loose that.
i wasn't sure before i tried it, but from playing the character i haven't had issues spawning heralds of purity, i think mainly just the on hit mod whenever i hit a rare is fairly consistent
looking good , tried to make a hop guaridan too with phantasm support cuz they inherit all the bonuses from the rings and the stats from gem but it was kinda weak lol urs seems a lot better
hi why you dont play with minions are agressiv ? is there no need for Hop minons? i played a lot of minion build and all of them used a form of mininos are agressiv.
You have to annoint the skill tree passive Grave Intentions This one gives the guardian a lot of ES which is converted to life regeneration by that unique helmet
Mate, I'm trying the PoE2 experience early with ruthless ssf after hitting 40/40 in ASC, it was a fkn struggle to get to act 3, but after getting the Sentinel of Radiance, its cruising as if I wasn't playing ruthless lmao.
I've copied all the animate guardian gear but I can't get him to sustain enough for guardians blessing. Am I missing a mandatory stat on an abyss jewel or something?
Would love to if aura stays active jsut not give you buff from guardian blessing- im playing deathwish so im constatnly murdering my minions still for big D on bosses i just cast it just before i wana do big damage and thats fine same socket preasure as other one but no mana cost and its there when i get my ignite and for clear i dont need it (malovelance aura)
I think you may of missed the real beauty of this build, which is using the gravebind on yourself and just walk through maps with Sentinel of Radiance up, of course you need to go pure physical with sentinels because of the gloves.
this radiant sentinel should be perm, i always forget to spawn it, and i always have to on top of that use convocation, i just don't use it as a result, i don't care about its power, it just trash to use, it ruins the ascendency
How do you get 2 levels of minion skill gems and 1 more sentinel, that's insane!! New PoE player...Blown away. Hoping someone can comment/coach me to know how to get that! Thanks for the guide! edit/ 9:32 Uhm...The shield you have is at least 10 divines if not more...😄😄
For me, they just broke my beloved ascendancy. The new minion its cluncky, slow and need resummon every 20seconds. The ascendancy used to be tanky and fast. Very fun to build. Now its fixed on a minion that its clunky. And if they balanced it for next patch they will just kill the ascendancy. Sad.
I feel it's improved. Guardian used to be mainly good as a support aurabot or as certain variants of summoner. Now it's still good as a support character (albeit he doesn't get as much from reserving life as he used to), good for certain variants of summoner AND is now a genuinely good pick for a tri-elemental build be it for spells or attacks i.e. a prismatic build. So more options to play.
Look into restless ward if ur any trickster who uses ci or es in general. It's big evasion and es and op charge duration for a trickster with the charge nodes
I am SO GLAD someone had the time to revive herald of purity this league, I just dont have the time but this is basically exactly how i would have gone about it. amazing work
Your top tier quality content is missed. Always liked the extra audio work, newcomers missed out.
I still play Purity Sentinels to this day, thanks to you
Glad to see you alive man! Is it possible you somehow celebrate a comeback?
What a brilliantly well done build concept man!
I love that when Lance finds a unique or mechanic he likes he uses it in every single build
he was on his Balbala The Traitor 3 flasks arc for a while, i respect it, we all wanna be pathfinders lol
Oh, I didn't even see that he had RF running on this build ;)

They are not a pain at all, compared to regearing your AG after every x bosses or juiced content.

very frustrating, not sure what caused it but ive had things like it happen a few times this league where skills haven't rendered
A CaptainLance build with 5 full flasks? Heresy
thanks for teaching the +minion gem fossil craft, I am going to use that

On my skele mages i just used convocation on left click, good enough for the sentinel and AG and it has less CD than 4s so its up always
Doesn't phase run turn off as soon as you attack? Don't think it would help much for shield charge.

The +2 Minion craft jewel is Dense Pristine and Bound is better in terms of cost and chances.
Love your builds and this one is no exception :)
My man doing justice to Harold
"most of the gear is pretty cheap" aaaaand it's gone
Captain Lance might I say you look very angelic and pure with the white background
hen bound by faith and respect,
the flock will overwhelm the wolf
As a quick small thought, couldn’t the boots and glove colors just be switched? 16:19
Love your builds man
I've been having the visual bugs all over the game since the graphics update they did before league. Expedition and bossing have been very frustrating.
Same
Just when I thought about the roman senator in the basement!

Great points
From construction room to a white noise torture chamber. Not sure if I'd call that an upgrade lol
The sanest Utula's enjoyer.
How does his guardian not die to Guardians Blessing?
You can also use the new Unique boots from Trials for Damaging Ailment immunity.
black cane EK guardian was a pretty smooth league start, can recommand =3
a new type of minion love it :)
is this build work without the blue and red nightmares?
Isnt gravebinder on the AG bad for you? Since herald of purity also spawns the minions on kill. but YOU have to kill them. so with gravebinders on the AG you loose that.
i wasn't sure before i tried it, but from playing the character i haven't had issues spawning heralds of purity, i think mainly just the on hit mod whenever i hit a rare is fairly consistent
oh wow. rerolling my SRS into this. ASAP
looking good , tried to make a hop guaridan too with phantasm support cuz they inherit all the bonuses from the rings and the stats from gem but it was kinda weak lol urs seems a lot better
im not too familiar with phantasms or how they mechanically work so I was hesitant to try them
hi why you dont play with minions are agressiv ? is there no need for Hop minons? i played a lot of minion build and all of them used a form of mininos are agressiv.
Attributes are never dead stats on gear now because of tattoos, is so fun to see which one's help your build
I already tattooed all my int away, so the extra 50 int was absolutely a dead stat for me :)
Is there a good way to get those suffixes on the helm while doing the fossil craft for minion mod?
If you put those gloves on BOB doesn't that reduce the rarity of items you find since it has that sword equipped?
thank you stream :)
why no convocation on left click? Also could use storm brand instead of ball lightning?
Have you considered maybe trying geofri's legacy helmet and trying the same setup with summon holy relic as more clear based build?
What does uber boss looks like with this build?
This looks insane
is this build viable for 3.23?
Cool build! 🤗
How exactly can you use blue and red nightmare if the tag on the gem says limited to 1?
Animate guardian isnt sustaining the hp drain, help please
You have to annoint the skill tree passive Grave Intentions
This one gives the guardian a lot of ES which is converted to life regeneration by that unique helmet
yo playing poe in modern art gallery?
Mate, I'm trying the PoE2 experience early with ruthless ssf after hitting 40/40 in ASC, it was a fkn struggle to get to act 3, but after getting the Sentinel of Radiance, its cruising as if I wasn't playing ruthless lmao.
yeah guardian i feel like is chris wilson's "psst play this in ruthless" type thing. so strong with just the 2 ascendancy nodes
Isn't gem level scaling inefficient beyond level 30? You could have a way better +1 weapon and +1 helmet
I've copied all the animate guardian gear but I can't get him to sustain enough for guardians blessing. Am I missing a mandatory stat on an abyss jewel or something?
Update: The problem was I had forgotten to anoint Grave Intentions on the amulet!
What Mtx is that shield?
Not using the shield Hakoona?
Brother you can see his gear in the first frame...
I’m sitting here thinking, how does he come up with this stuff lol
Would love to if aura stays active jsut not give you buff from guardian blessing- im playing deathwish so im constatnly murdering my minions still for big D on bosses i just cast it just before i wana do big damage and thats fine same socket preasure as other one but no mana cost and its there when i get my ignite and for clear i dont need it (malovelance aura)
Anyone know how bad it is to drop the chieftains spectres?
I think you may of missed the real beauty of this build, which is using the gravebind on yourself and just walk through maps with Sentinel of Radiance up, of course you need to go pure physical with sentinels because of the gloves.
Carnal chieftain 😂. Do you fall him daddy?
this radiant sentinel should be perm, i always forget to spawn it, and i always have to on top of that use convocation, i just don't use it as a result, i don't care about its power, it just trash to use, it ruins the ascendency
how viable would this be for afk blight maps ? anyone test this?
Okay now do herald of agony pls
Nice. Doing my build captain. I have a +6 gem chest but not yet 6 linked. On vacation.
This looks like it could be good with soulwrest and phantasms.
Edit. It wont life mod on soulwrest
Played soulwrest on my way to building a solid srs guardian. Soulwrest was fine but fell off dmg wise in t14+
dude I miss u :D

Bob's weapon and gloves combo kind of lame. -20% rarity.
Anyway, love the builds!
Rarity on AG gear does not affect the drops of items at all, only the gear on the player does
@@LocalIdentity1 Why wouldn't it if they AG is getting the kills because of the gloves? Do minions always use player's IR/IQ?
@@ragnarokda206 the gloves may grant the AG on kill effects but quantity and rarity values are only taken from the players stats when any kill is made
@@LocalIdentity1 TIL! I had no idea. Thanks for the information!
lvl 33 wtf
why do u look so swole all of a sudden
For me, they just broke my beloved ascendancy.
The new minion its cluncky, slow and need resummon every 20seconds.
The ascendancy used to be tanky and fast. Very fun to build. Now its fixed on a minion that its clunky. And if they balanced it for next patch they will just kill the ascendancy.
Sad.
I feel it's improved. Guardian used to be mainly good as a support aurabot or as certain variants of summoner. Now it's still good as a support character (albeit he doesn't get as much from reserving life as he used to), good for certain variants of summoner AND is now a genuinely good pick for a tri-elemental build be it for spells or attacks i.e. a prismatic build. So more options to play.
yeh kinda weak rework ngl , the minions are cool but resummoning it not fun and relics enable only 1 way to build , and the aura nodes are gutted
Captain lance, this build is cheap, video drops.... not any more.
Typically only cheap for the person creating the build. Then all fools rush in.
No
You are too lazy to take 1 min to msg a guy to get a better spectre? Odd when this is your job.
Holy shit. you guys need to get something good in your life to focus on.
Look into restless ward if ur any trickster who uses ci or es in general. It's big evasion and es and op charge duration for a trickster with the charge nodes
Nice Build
