Sup guys, decided to give Holy Relic a try for the new Path of Exile league Keepers of the Flame, as it seems like a strong build and I've only heard good things about it. I did some testing on a standard character with scuffed gear and it cleared T16s quite smoothly and felt much better than most minion builds to play.

Wanted to give y'all my PoB and starting plans in case you were thinking of playing this one too. Keep in mind I'm far from an expert on this one, definitely check out @Balormage as he's the creator of this build (afaik) and has a lot of content on it that could be helpful. I've just tweaked things to my liking, and figured my way of tackling it as a starter could be useful to others too.
