Zalakat's Notes

https://pobb.in/aAKn8AEJyJ8n

Think I'm leaving this guy here and moving on to my next build. This was incredibly easy to level with the new Guardian Sentinel of Radiance, and once Absolution came online (which was very early), it was basically an autobomber through maps with a really fun/active playstyle of re-casting Absolution and keeping Zealotry active with Divine Blessing. Frostblink+Shield Charge made it even zoomier and added more tankiness thanks to Guardian's Bastion of Hope.

A Doryani's version would be way more damage but I think probably not as tanky.

This was my first time playing Absolution and I loved it. It was super fun and exceptionally cost-efficient - the POB linked above has maybe 15-20 divines total into it, most of which is the wand/helmet. Highly recommend.
