Unique Chain mail how does it work

[strangecat]

It says it summons a Guardian Weapon? Dose that mean you have to have the gem for Guardian Weapon that supports your level of weapon?

This armor is level 71 has insane armor and energy shield and seems to be about guardian weapon and killing a rare or unique monster with guardian weapon.

armor is called Chains of Command Saintly Chain Mail.

[_Fell]

The armor, chains of command, grants the skill guardian weapon. any gems in chains of command will affect the skill guardian weapon. When your animated guardian kills an enemy, it has a 100% chance to use guardian weapon and summon an animated copy of whatever weapon you gave to your animated guardian. If you use the gem animated weapon, when they kill an enemy they have a 10% chance to use guardian weapon and summon an animated copy of whatever weapon you gave to your animated guardian. You'll either be an animate weapon build, where you have better options than this armor, or need to use 2 or 3 writhing jars at the start of each area to let your guardian get free kills.

I need to have the gem guardian weapon support my weapon then use that with the armor?
When I just tested the armor it said the skill is not available.(I can't use this skill)
Sounds like I would need to create a build for animated weapon.

Thanks

The skill that comes from the armour is only triggerable, not usable by itself. It'll be triggered based on you minions kills.

You animate guardian or animate weapon etc will need to be socketed somewhere. They aren't limited to your weapon though.

It is indeed rather niche.

[strangecat]

yea I am not sure I would add that. It's cool armor though! I might try it but I feel like you have to take the path for minions.

[strangecat]

Trying to summon a Guardian weapon and nothing is happening supports up to level 73
also the armor says skill can't be used. What gives?

[strangecat]

Must be something I have to set up on the skill board.

can you just use Animate Guardian Weapon in a gem slot? I am trying and nothing is happening no invisible anything. Reading over you insane page. Quite deep.

[strangecat]

If guardian dies with all the armor and weapons that's it you have re-equip it...Not for me.

[_Fell]

you use animate guardian gem in any piece of gear. then, when he kills something, he triggers animate guardian weapon summoning a living copy of whatever weapon you equip to your animate guardian. When you use the animate guardian, you activate it with whatever key you bind it to on any identified weapon on the ground and he will use it. Same for helmets, shield, body armor, gloves, and boots. If he dies you have to resummon him and regear him. the guide will show where to put whichever gems in specific gear, if you decide to make this build. the animate guardian can survive pinnacle bosses even, but it requires significant investment and is not a starter build by any means. Try an animate weapon build if you want to try a similar playstyle.

[strangecat]

I saved you page since it's pretty damn deep and beyond my knowledge of this game.

I just put Guardian weapon in gem slot it supports level 73 and try to summon it and nothing happened. It's invisible? LOL.
Anywayz maybe I will make my Gladiator more rage then just charges and blood.

[_Fell]

you summoned an animaterd guardian. hes an invisible man when hes naked. use the skill again on an indentified gear on the ground and he will equip it.

[strangecat]

crazy! I would have never figured that out.

[strangecat]

Alright I am testing him out and loaded him up!
Gave him the Harvester ax, Crown helmet, Rage gloves, can't remember what else.
On it's own it's pretty damn pathetic. Still cool.
Thanks
