GhazzyTV's Summon Raging Spirit Guardian Ascendancy, Bandits & Pantheon Powers (PoE Affliction)
Ascendancy
The most optimal way to play this build doesn’t offer a lot of free choices when it comes to the ascendancy nodes. In this section, I will go through the nodes you’ll want and why.
My preferred set-up
The ascendancy nodes are listed in order of importance and tied to the way you need to travel to access them.
- Radiant Crusade
- Unwavering Crusade
- Bastion of Hope
- Radiant Faith
Radiant Crusade
Radiant Crusade gives us the skill “Summon Radiant Sentinel” which acts as a direct meat-shield for us, he will taunt enemies for his duration and soak up 10% of damage you take from hits!
Unwavering Crusade
Unwavering Crusade Allows us to trigger “Summoner Elemental Relic”. These minions are very special as they only live for a base duration of 5 seconds. There are 3 version of them; cold, lightning & fire and you summon/trigger them by either having you or your allies kill enemies or hitting a rare or unique enemy (25% each) with a 0.3 second cooldown. Every time this ability triggers you will summon one of these 3 versions, if you already have one alive of that type it will refresh that minions duration allowing us to get all 3 out vs boss fights.
The Elemental Relics don’t attack anything and follow you around providing an aura each. The fire one provides: 
Anger. Cold gives you: 
Hatred. Lightning brings 
Wrath. These auras as well as the minion scale with your characters level to a cap of level 85 making these auras incredibly strong and will benefit our army very well.
Bastion of Hope
Bastion of Hope By attacking and casting spells which we will be doing very frequently we get increased chance to block incoming damage from both attacks & spells which our minions also benefits from.
Radiant Faith
Radiant Faith Since we are reserving the majority of our mana pool for auras to increase our survival this node further scales that by providing both armor and extra energy shield.
Bandits
You will kill all of the bandits, as they provide no significant gains worthy of sacrificing the skill points.
Pantheon
Most builds go by personal preference, however, for this build, the Pantheons should not be anything but what is presented in this guide. You’ll want the upgraded Brine King Major God to avoid being frozen once you’ve upgraded this pantheon.
You should also pick the Shakari Minor God pantheon to mitigate Chaos Damage, as it is a resistance very few builds bother to consider and it usually also increases the cost of your gear.
