Hi grimjack68,

Can you check my profile and see if there are ny upgrades i can make please.
I want to do deathless guardians and tried mino when i was helping a friend but the fight was extremely long and not deathless.
any suggestions would be really welcome.

I run TVs in helm and FG in chest

Firstly, and most importantly - dump those gloves. They add fire damage to attacks, which means your Curse on Hit setup is triggering elemental equilibrium and sabotaging the damage output from your golems and spectres.

I agree with willo about swapping FGs to your helm and running Raise Spectre / Tukohama's Vanguards in your chest armour. Your FGs should be able to clear trash mobs in that helm just fine, and that way you can set up TVs in your chest with perfect 20/20 gems.

What else... those Abyss dual socket belts aren't worthwhile for us. Go with a single socket Stygian with life / armour / resists, or a leather belt with the same affixes.

Whirling blades doesn't care about your base speed, so the quicksilver isn't a great choice. If you want to use the flask, swap to shield charge to take advantage of the extra speed.

I'd probably drop the zombies, move Animated Guardian to your shield (and support him with minion life and fortify) so you can unsummon him by weapon switching if he gets low on health, and move those gems to your gloves. And Bone Offering! BO is critical to survival in high end maps IMO. I'd likely put that in your +3 ring, then you recover 743 life every time you block with BO up!

I'm guessing without Bone Offering up? That's a BIG part of your block...

As for how less duration might help, it has a more damage multiplier. I haven't tested it though, so it might have unintended side effects. It's possible that your TVs would only have their totems up part of the time, which would be less than ideal. None of the other red support gems are going to do anything at all though.

Alright ty for answers. I currently dont run any attack spell besides desecrate (lol). Just realized i have an abyss jewel socketed tho that makes minion deal 10 to 17 cold damage. Think that could work with EE? Running skellies, specters, zombies and AG. If this might sinergize, what should i do to get the most benefit out of this? (minions deal cold + EE)

No, only you can trigger EE, not your minions. This is really the reason for the Curse on Hit / GMP / Elemental Weakness / Lightning ball or arc gem group in the OP. The curse is nice on map bosses, but not very effective on guardians / Atziri / Shaper. The EE trigger, on the other hand, is a massive damage boost.

:) Add in the Rumi's flask and you'll be really close to max.

They are called they don't exist. PoB doesn't have them listed, and won't unless someone figures out how to pull their stats out since the devs obfuscated them.
