Skill functions and interactions

Using this skill on an identified item on the basis creates an Blithe Guardian that moves and attacks similar to a zombie. Similar to Spectres and unlike other minions, a Guardian stays with you fifty-fifty afterwards logging off and on. If you unequip the skill precious stone, the Guardian disappears until yous equip the gem again, at which bespeak the aforementioned Guardian (retaining all its equipment) reappears after casting the spell again. This also holds truthful when swapping a dissimilar AG gem in. Socketing the gem in a weapon or shield slot allows you to recall the Guardian at will by switching weapon sets (default hotkey: X).

You can simply have one Guardian at a time. It can be equipped with a helmet, body armour, pair of gloves, pair of boots, a shield, and melee weapons. Ranged weapons cannot be animated, similar to Animate Weapon Duration, Minion, Spell, Physical
Level: (one-20)

Items can be of any rarity, but must be identified and on the ground to exist used. Animated items are consumed past the spell and cannot be recovered. Items containing skill gems cannot be animated, then the Guardian cannot use trigger gems.

Items that have modifiers like +10 to Maximum life or +x% increased Attack Speed, and even corrupted implicits, apply to the Guardian the same way they apply to actor characters; and so animating magic or rare equipment can potentially give you a very powerful minion. Unique items can also be used, giving guardians powerful abilities non found elsewhere in the game. Exist careful when using valuable items—anything y'all requite to your guardian is gone forever.

The Guardian uses weapons and shields in the same way as player characters, and tin can dual wield if 2 ane-handed weapons are animated. If you animate an particular type that the Guardian is already using (such as a helmet), the new item will overwrite the quondam one. Equipping an armour piece restores 25% of its life; equipping one-handed weapons or shields will alternate between left and right paw. You lot cannot equip two shields.

The Guardian does not share your max amount of curses you can apply to enemies, and therefore functions as a player with the default expletive limit when applying curses (through corrupted gloves, for example).

Items: The Guardian's items are tied to the character that summoned it, rather than the jewel itself. Equipping a level one version of the gem volition disable any items the Guardian cannot equip, which will be present once again in one case a high enough level gem is equipped.

Items deleted on Death: When a Guardian dies, all its equipment is deleted and cannot be recovered. This makes very risky to use powerful or valuable items on an Animated Guardian. Information technology is possible to forestall a body armour worn past a Guardian from being deleted upon Guardian decease by crafting the Equipped Animated Guardian drops particular on death modern onto it. Notation once more that equipment will not be lost upon de-spawning, just death.

Necromantic Aegis: While using Necromantic Aegis your Guardian benefits from its own shield besides as the one y'all have equipped, allowing it to proceeds the benefit of two shields at once. Some unique shields can be quite powerful when doubled upward this style.^[i]If your Guardian is equipped with a 2-handed weapon, it volition non benefit from your shield.

In fact, not only is it possible to lose the Guardian'south items here, but expiry is very probable because of the manner PvP impairment scaling works. Minor enemies can instantly kill a Guardian with 50000+ life in this map, so it is highly recommended to despawn your Guardian before attempting.

Item-Granted Skills: Animated guardians cannot use skills granted past items. Equipping items similar Death's Oath, The Rippling Thoughts, or Bubonic Trail volition not allow the Guardian to use their associated triggered skills. Fire Burst granted past Essence of Hysteria Stack Size: ix

The Guardian is not your political party fellow member, and will not be able to employ abilities like the one found on Ambu'south Charge. Effects that apply to nearby allies or enemies, like Leer Cast, Victario'south Flight, or Dying Breath, will apply as normal.

Abyssal Sockets: Animate guardians cannot benefit from abyss jewel modifiers. Equipping items like Tombfist or Bubonic Trail with abyss jewel(south) socketed volition not grant their modifiers to animate guardian.
