I've been struggling to keep mu Animate Guardian alive, it's fine up to juiced T16 but when I hit some bosses like in the forge of the Phoenix and some endgame stuff.

I've got a 20/20 normal quality and I'm running the passive that heals my minions when a minion dies, any advices ?

A 21/0 AG is better then a 20/20. Besides that, what equips are u using on him?

I dont have any problem even in first days of league. I use:
Kingmaker
Rare Helmet with -9 cold res.
Inpulsa's
Windshierk with %Life Regen lab enchant
Gravebind with EE

What spectres are you using currently? I'm a bit unsure....

Currently I'm using 3 Syndicate Oparatives in my head (got one without level but with minion damage & hypothermia & minion life & nearby enemies take 6% more elemental damage). Made my first T14 map yesterday and everything explodes immediately so I'm thinking if i should use Primal Crushclaws for more boss damage... So what do you think?

In addition I'm thinking if I shoud switch my spectre into my skin of the lords to get a 4th one and put golems in my helmet... What do you suggest?

the +3 on the helm is extremely important. I suggest you do this:

Try to get a +3 helm +16minion dmg +16hypothermia minions deal %dmg mod as soon as possible, put Carrion+Vaal Skelletons+Increased Critial DMG+Multistrike (buy the gems lvl21+20quality if possible)

Get a Skin of the Lords for the +2 gems, and put your Spectres & Zombies there. I only use Primal Crushclaws mapping feels great, my AG/Zombies/Spectres/Carrions just insta kill everything I just run around and sometimes press Anomalous Convocation if I go too far. I use Melee Physical for more dmg, if you do super juiced maps switch to Melee Splash.

The Nearby enemies take %ele dmg, or have -6% to cold res is a helm you'd want to put on the AG. I recommend doing the Inpulsa build from the guide if you have Anomalous AG.

Also if you're struggling for exalts here's a super easy strategy, get your Atlas passives for farming maven/bosses/conquerors (top part of the tree)
And literally just run red maps without being alchd. get the Essence/harbriger kill then the boss it will drop some Shaper/Elder/Conqueror/Synth maps, kill maven, kill elderslayers/twisted/formed and sell the maven invites for 4ex (5 invites). Fairly quick to get 5-20ex per day from selling all those things per day, so you can buy your helm/wand/shield upgrades.

AG Gloves with Elemental Weakness, and Skin of the Lords with Elemental Equilibrium also feel super duper nice when mapping/bossing.

Thank you for your detailed answer and suggestions! :-)

I crafted this helm on my own (was my first casting-try, so I'm really satisfied with it for the moment) but I have the upgrade to +3 "on my list". :-) Really good to know is, that I could just switch spectre & Zombies to chest and golems + skellies to helmet.

Currently I use a 3b 2r 1g Skin and bought an empowered +3 for it. Could I still use it with my Awakened Cold Penetration or should I switch to your suggested setup?

Definitely I'll try to get Primal Crushclaw spectres this evening...yesterday I didn't get anyone to share in 6666 channel.

Yes, -9% Cold Resistances in my AGs helemt is currently missing, got it already "on my list" also. :-)

Thanks for the tip farming Exalted Orbs. To be honest, I didn't understand everything, because it's the first time I'm close to the "endgame", but I understood the general strategy.

EW Gloves for AG were too expensive for the moment, but are also "on my list". Skin of the Lords with EE will follow, after I got the wand... ;-)

The skin of the lords is a personal preference, I have both with EE 3b2r1g but I use the 2r4b one. For me my sockets are:
Raise Spectre + Zombie + Minion DMG + Feeding Frenzy + Multistrike + Melee Physical (or melee splash for mapping giga juiced maps, i use melee physical 99% of the time), ask in 6666 or add me in-game i'll share

The wand you basically just want the +2 to gems and space to craft Auto Cast. I used literally a +2 wand (no other mods) and auto cast. Bought a better one the other day just because i had a bunch of money and upgrading the helm was giga expensive.

You want to make your own +2 minimum charges shield (it will cost 1.5ex-2ex to craft yourself) or 5-6ex to buy one. I suggest crafting its very easy, basically takes 5min and you can't fuck it up, worst case scenario is +2 minimum charges (which you want) :D, you can also craft shields and sell them for 3-6ex. for small profit I did that when I started

You'd want to also buy an Unset Ring influenced by the Redeemer with ilvl83 minimum, i'd go for 85. just buy the cheapest one you can find. When you see Harvest in your map look for the can have Caster Mods. and spam your ring with it, roughly 1 out of 7-ish tries will give you Frostbite on hit, that works with your EE so you can free up a slot from the wand, thats how i run Tempest Shield + BV + Flesh Offering (bone offering if you want more defense)
If you're lucky you also get minions deal 21% more dmg on the ring as a mod which is sweet.

Add me in-game if you want to chat or tips from one pleb to another
