PoE Guardian, League Starter, Melee builds

LEVELING Until you can buy a Frostbreath, level with the highest dps staff/mace you can find. stop leveling clarity at level 5. Main link: Holy Strike - Minion Damage - Added Lightning Damage - new gem from the beach. optional: Melee Splash, this skill will NOT have good clear. Gems to pick up in act 1: Frostblink. Clarity. Shield Charge - Momentum(requires ranger mule). Smite - Efficay. ask a friend for Fast

HIGH BUDGET ENDGAME BUILD Vaal minions are worth 3 minions each (200% more). So for bosses you have 9 normal sentinels + 3 vaal sentinels (9 effective) = 18 effective sentinel damage. For mapping you get your blue and yellow sentinels too so increase minion count to 22 for mapping. Estimated Budget ~50-60 div Pros: Pretty tanky Easy to play Good map clear Niche, so levelling gear should be cheap Cons: Minion uptime for bosses Not the most dps for the cost Doesn't scale as well as other endgame builds Leveling: Level with SrS and Absolution until you get DomBlow act 3. You can

Thoughts on my league starter? Most expensive thing it uses is Aegis Aurora but Aegis ended up being fairly cheap last league (2-5 divines) Other than that and Skin of the Lords the rest of the gear is fairly basic. I plan on leveling with absolution until I can invest and make the switch to Dom Blow. &x200B; This is one of my first time making my own POB for my starter. Do you guys think it's viable? &x200B; Edit: Updated POB to add guard skill

EDIT: Apparently i missed a nerf line from the balance manifesto.. Please check a more realistic PoB (1M DPS) here: As for me, i'm no longer starting with that build.. loosing half damage on something that is hard to scale further is not worth it 1M with 6L and Scourge claw (when you manage to spawn all of your sentinels) So in even more realistic scenarios it'll be 500k DPS..... --- I finally found my league starter! (unless something new catches my interest tomorrow during the

Build highlights and POB: 100% phys to fire with fire mastery, AOF, and one vaal notable cyclone with a pdps staff, shockwave, and fire/phys supports petrified blood and radiant faith gives 4000-5000 flat armor, build ends up with 30k+ armor pre-flask (big molten shells too) radiant faith and 25% of life added as ES (hillock craft and corrupted soul) = 2k energy shield divine shield + 30k armor + 4-6 end charges = big ES regen when we take phys damage sentinels of purity and a holy relic = permanent onslaught, taunts,

This is assuming we get Energy Blade with something like 200% snapshotted ES into Max Added Lightning Damage; see the custom modifier on the energy sword to represent this.

POB: If you've league started dominating blow and have run into a brick wall in trying to scale DPS without costing you valuable EHP stats here's a couple of my findings: 1. Cold Conversion scales much better than Physical as the impale support gem is no longer as much of a damage multiplier it used to be (it's also mandatory since you can't get impale chance on your minions otherwise. There's also no good sources of physical penetration or resistance shred for your minions so there's that as well. While for Cold Conversion yo

This is my Cold Conversion Dominating Blow Guardian League Starter doing a 85% Quant Baran T14 Map corrupted in A6 (I haven't gotten enough stones for A7) Hope you enjoyed the showcase. If you've got any questions about the build let me know in the comments and I'll respond as soon as I can. POB is here for anyone who's interested. POB: Edit: I just realized, I actually forgot to swap out Melee Splash here lmao
