So I started this project (and I'm sure others have already done this but it was a big deal for me to actually build it haha) when I came across another reddit post that showcased having over 50k ES in hideout but was supposedly just to _illustrate_ the ability to have such a large amount of ES and didn't build for actual DPS, resists etc (hopefully this link works): https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/lt1u3x/standard_50_253_es_alone_in_hideout_tribute_to/

That post impressed me so much, it motivated me to see if it was actually possible to have 50k+ ES while also having enough (I arbitrarily went with 10mil minimum) DPS and resists/defensive layers to actually complete all content like A9 Sirus, Maven, Sim 30 etc (minus specific mods like no-regen).

The build has a LOT of room for improvement, but I want to take a bit of a break from all the crafting now that I've finally hit 50k. But regardless, this guardian now has:

- 50k+ ES- around 12mil sustained POB DPS (due to 100% uptime of DPS flasks, CoH Despair, and wither stacks)
- 89% all elemental res (I REALLY wanted to hit 90% but I'm not sure it would've been worth the loss/work required just to get that 1%)
- around 2500 ES recovery on block (though only 25% block chance in this iteration of the build)
- up to 6K es regen/s (~21.4k with guardian proc)
- lv 20 anomalous Immortal Call every 3.44 seconds (I just hold it down as i'm using it to also proc arcane surge for 100% surge uptime. It's weird, I know, but I'm just so starved for sockets and IC doesn't interrupt me casting FR).

I couldn't have done this without the help of Karaleigha, Pykl, and Dark_Interference, amongst others for their wisdom, support, and gear that they brilliantly crafted and had available/for sale, so here's a big shout-out to them <3

Lastly, sorry if the formatting is garbage. This is literally the first Reddit post I've ever made as I've always been a lurker but never had anything interesting to post and was super excited when I FINALLY hit the 50k milestone. I'm not lvl 100 yet, but once I get my level I really wanna see if I can tank things like Maven blast and uber Atziri flameblast. I'll probably still die, but I'll keep trying haha.

Pastebin below (hopefully it works) if anyone is interested.

PS I am absolutely open to any and all criticism, advice, suggestions, etc on how to push this build further and what people think the theoretical max for solo ES is while still having a reasonable amount of DPS/ability to clear all current content.
