Important PoB Notes

All my guides use Path of Building. We have a simple guide for you that shows how to import my build into Path of Building. You can find the guide here

Here’s the low budget PoB including gear information for the Animate Guardian : https://pobb.in/Q2_O85pgJEAr

Here’s the High Budget PoB including information on AG and alternative setup: https://pobb.in/3Jp9T5V1LSJD

Please note that I do not recommend that most players opt for this budget. Chains is somewhat limited in what content it can comfortably handle due to sword survivability, and you cannot recover investment placed in the AG.
I strongly suggest you read the PoB’s note section before proceeding.

There are too many open questions regarding which defensive nodes are necessary now, and other speculations that I simply am not comfortable posting a budget for higher investment until some testing has been done in 3.26.
These PoB’s are coming, but they are not finished cooking yet.

Leveling Progression

Due to the fact that this build cannot be played without meeting the prerequisites stated in the disclaimer, I recommend levelling with an Absolution style tree.

Amulet Anointment

In my opinion, the only option for anointment is the Replenishing Remedies node, this requires the following oils: 1x Sepia Oil, 1x Amber Oil & 1x Indigo Oil.
A more offensive option can be found in Ravenous Horde. The oils here would be 1X Golden Obi, 1X Silver Oil and 1X Verdant Oil

End Game Gem Links

6-Socket Animate Weapon support gems in Chains Of Command for solid damage output.

We naturally get splash from the Chains Of Command so we can completely focus on scaling the damage aspect of the skill. As we are a mapping build, we display the mapping setup.

Minion Damage Support
Multistrike Support
Fresh Meat Support (This swaps out for Predator Support against bosses)
Void Manipulation Support
Added Chaos Damage Support
Increased Critical Damage Support

3-Link Trigger

This setup is best used with a bench-crafted weapon for the modifier “Trigger socketed spells when you use a skill.” This is to automate the Flesh Offering buff for our minions and ourselves. We also have a Desecrate to enable corpses for our Offering spell. We do link these 2 with a low level Lifetap support as we are going to minimize the pressure we have on our Mana-pool.
