End Game PoB & Passive Skill Tree

This build is extremely straightforward tree-wise. Unlike many other minion builds we are bringing in tons of defensive layers for our minions making it much safer for new(er) & casual players to use an Animate Guardian Animate Guardian without the risk of him dying.

Below you’ll find a couple of different PoB links, it is strongly recommended to start with the low budget PoB, it includes leveling sections throughout the acts as well as skill-point progression.

Here’s the low budget Herald of Purity PoB: https://pobb.in/rHApEeMxTro6
Here’s the medium budget PoB: https://pobb.in/x0MJApYRbiwh

Once the skill tree is finished, just focus entirely on more Jewel Sockets or Cluster Jewels, if you can afford them.

Leveling Progression

Depending on if you’re playing Hardcore or Softcore, you will have to adjust your routing based on how good the gear you find is. An example is that if you have lots of Life & Resistance from drops you get during the Acts, you can focus on taking the damage-providing nodes over the defensive ones and vice versa. The links below are trees that should fit in almost any situation no matter the drop RNG.

Masteries

A lot of the masteries available comes down to a matter of personal preference but some are more or less mandatory.

Life Mastery: “+50 to maximum life” This mastery node should be picked up in your first life cluster you get to.
Life Mastery: “Skills Cost Life instead of 30% of Mana Cost” Alleviates some pressure on our mana to sustain casting our abilities.
Minion Offence Mastery: “20% increased effect of Offerings” Big damage buff for our minions.
Minion Offence Mastery: “Minions penetrate 8% of cursed enemies’ elemental resistances” As we are aiming to deal 0 Physical damage via conversion.
Mana Mastery: “12% increased mana reservation efficiency of skills” This helps us become able to run all our auras.
Shield Mastery: “+1% chance to block attack damage per 5% chance to block on equipped shield” A must have to reach the desired block caps.
Minion Defense Mastery: “Convocation has 40% increased cooldown recovery rate” Great clear speed increasing modifier.

Amulet Anointment

There are plenty of great notables to anoint on your amulet, for this build we’ll go with the Deflection Notable. This will cost you: 1x Amber Oil Amber Oil, 1x Indigo Oil Indigo Oil and 1x Silver Oil Silver Oil.

  1. Precision Precision

1-Socket Triad Grip Triad Grip Aura

As this does not need to be linked to the previous group, it can be in a single socket linked to nothing.
  1. Tempest Shield Tempest Shield

Quick tip to make the sockets all green on these gloves is to use the bench-craft in your hideout making 2 sockets green and then use the bench-craft making the item have 2 sockets which will make it keep the 2 green sockets, then make it 3 sockets. Rinse repeat this process till that third socket turns out to be green, then you do the same between 3 & 4 socket recipes. This will cost significantly less currency to color compared to spending 1400+ chromatic orbs.

3-Link Utility

This gem set-up brings our Animate Guardian and Spectres which both can be a bit tricky to grasp. To help understand how these things work we have an in-depth page for this guide describing everything you’ll ever need to know with both the Animate Guardian and the Spectres:

  2. Animate Guardian Animate Guardian
  3. Minion Life Support Minion Life Support

The Spectres used by this build would be 3 different ones in the end-game. First and most important one is a Primal Crushclaw. Second is an Arena Master. And the third one is a Pale Seraphim.
