PoE 3.22 League Starter Build Guide - Guardian/Necromancer Summon Skeleton Mages - Leveling/End Game

ACT 1 Level 2: Pick Freezing Pulse or Rolling Magma ( I prefer Pulse) Go to mudflats - Submerged passage (level 4, back to town) Look for R-B-B (two) Level 4: Pick Flame Wall, Frost Blink Purchase Holy Flame Totem from Nessa Start Looking fo Iron Ring to Sell with Firebal for Sapphire Ring Go to Tidal Island and back for QuickSilver, pick summon phantasm Link phantasm to Holy Flame Totem Go forward until at prison Use waypoints if you still need to check vendor for links At prison teleport to Submerged Passage -> Flooded Depths Back to town Level 8ish: Pick Combustion for Holy Flame Toem 3 Link Nack to Prison Do Trial Slay Brutus After Brutus: Pick Clarity for Comfy Mana (be careful on leveling it too much) *Alternatively purchase vitality if worried about life regen Go forward until Merveil, get checkpoint at ship's graveyard Back to town to purchase absolution Need to be level 12 to use Abso 3 link - Abso - Minion damage - Added ligthning Go to Merveil Ideally have at 2 Sapphire rings (at least 1 for comfy fight) Absolution and holy flame totem should be ez ACT 2 Check for new gear with links r-b-b and b-b-b Need Strength eventually... Do White Beast quest, shoose heavy belt if strength needed, otherwise quicksilver Continue to Crossroads, then chamber of sin. No Heralds are particularly good and we dont use desecrate yet Herald of Purity is ok if want to purchase and feel good on mana regen Kill first bandit in east We will kill all bandits Skip Crypt quest go west to western forest go all the way to west end, kill guard, use emblem go top, do bandit or spider back and use tele to forest, kill otherwise Basically just rushing through the quests now At level 20 start looking for calling wands (should show on default filter) Look for a r-r-b for zombies Zombie-melee spalsh-melee phys Minion damage is bait, zombies will die a lot Can use raise zombie after gettign life regen from Sacrifice node Ready for Apex and Act 3 Act 3 Proceed Like normal, creamtorium back to town, etc Choose Convocation at first choice Start Looking for 4 links, r-b-b-b and b-b-b-b (preferably in armour gear) Buy zealotry, but dont use yet. Wait until it is noticably hard to summon purity minions Can do Lab as soon as avaialble on decent gear (I completed lab at 28) First ascendency is Radiant Crusade Choose Raise Spectre when available, won't use yet but can level it Highly Recommend lab before Dominus Act 4 DO NOT start act 4 until you have ascended, you will be significantly slower After turn in banner. choose carrion golem and equip at level 34 (this will be our feeding frenzy minion) Continue onward. no real reason to return to town ever except to check for gear Next skill gem will be Spell echo (This does not work on the Vaal sentinel) Once you have reservation nodes you can easily swap HoP to Zealotry or Wrath or Determination (for tanky) Act 5 Nothing to see here really, just blast Grab a prox shield spectre in the courtyard Ideally have around 1500 hp for Kitava and level 45 Keep an eye out for good 4 links and gear upgrades Act 6 START CAPPING RES, cold for brine king! Once Lilly sells her gems it's time to start re-linking things (at prison WP) Try for at least these setups: Abso - phys to lightning - minion damage - lightning pen/pantasm/faster cast/spell echo Carrion Golem - Feeding frenzy - Zombie - minion life/elemental army Raise Spectre - minion life - AG(if you want to start leveling the gem) Determination/wrath/zealotry Flame dash Steelskin Desecrate Flesh Offering Act 6 Tree is a lot of pathing, if you don't feel strong enough grab some nearby life nodes There's not very many strong minion nodes left to grab Start Grabbing some ES gear for switch to EB, ~400 is ideal Act 7 This ends up being a really quick act Grab some defensive nodes look for good r-b-b-b setup for absolution Grab carnage and host chieftan spectres in ashen fiels for power/frenzy charges Act 8 Should be able to do Cruel Lab immediatly Unwavering Crusade Act 9 We get more defensive Remember to add in determination when you switch to EB Act 10 Good luck on your 4 link chest roll, will need armor/es for EB Do Merc Lab before Kitava Time of Need
