SuperSecretTech's Notes

Mechanical Explanation of Storm Brand and Penance Brand. Which is the better value at any given level?

What will the top end look like and the bottom end look like for both skills?

The Path of Building below has eight separate trees. I strongly recommend the Low life start for league start and Migrating over to the Cluster build as you have currency. Note this is going to be a fairly expensive build to maximize, but functions at lower investment levels.

Updated Guardian PoB guide: https://pastebin.com/99gG2ttF Added leveling steps and gear progression breakdown. If you find dps seems low check the Item section and the tree tab at the bottom.

Two trees a default and a cluster tree. Cluster is expensive so be mindful.
