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/OeevMilKe2Um

Here’s the medium-budget PoB including information on AG and alternative setup: https://pobb.in/TK8qHE0YQQl5

This is the highest point; it is reasonable to take lazy and tanky chains. If you want to go higher than this, you’ll be looking at much more damage focus, and you can find that elsewhere.

Leveling Progression

Because this build cannot be played without meeting the prerequisites stated in the disclaimer, you need to swap into it with gear. As such there’s no leveling section.

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, and 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.

Endgame Gem Links

6 – Socket Animate Weapon Support Gems

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 two with a low level Lifetap support as we are going to minimize the pressure we have on our Mana-pool.
