Animate Guardian is basically a customizable Golem. You know how golems give you a utility buff, that's what Animate Guardians are for too pretty much. You put some items that provide auras and effects that can buff your other shit and that's pretty much it. If linked to minion life along with golem and zombies, it makes them pretty unlikely to die so you don't have to care too much about losing stuff(you still don't want to put retarded expensive stuff in it, but a few chaos worth is no big deal). A lot of builds don't even both having a guardian due to the lack of gem slots and needing the minion life/regen nodes(if you play SRS you probably don't get these so your guardian is squishy).
Several reddit posts and one streamer playing it, and honestly it looks pretty fun and even not bad. It is a mystery how they decided to add this after they specifically nerfed Mjolnir for doing the same thing though and haven't buffed it back since.
Lycosidae being rare but unchanged is such a weird design decision. It’s like Shavs - it’s now an expensive build defining unique with no real budget option available to fill the gap until you get it, without completely respeccing a bunch of nodes and changing half your gear.
Yeah. For a lot of builds, gearing for crit, accuracy, elemental damage to attacks, attack speed, life, resists, just way too much.
It's after you loot the storm blade, you get a potion to unlock the oasis with a pretty sweet boss fight at the end. The SP is not new, just moved from elsewhere, only the oasis unlock and the god.
