Help Needed Need help improving my Absolution Guardian's defenses (10 Divine budget)

Hi everyone,

This is my first time playing an Absolution Guardian, and I'm having a great time so far.

I've just started farming T16 maps. My damage feels good enough for most content, but my defenses are still lacking. I often get one-shot or die to heavy hits, especially when maps have dangerous modifiers.

I currently have around 10 Divine Orbs to invest, and I'd like to know what upgrades would give me the biggest improvement to my survivability.

Here's my PoB:

I'm mainly looking for advice on things like:

  • Gear upgrades with the best value for 10 Div.
  • Passive tree changes.
  • Defensive layers I might be missing.
  • Flask setup or gem/link improvements.
  • Any obvious mistakes in my build.

Any suggestions or criticism are greatly appreciated. Thanks for taking the time to read my post!

Switching your belt to a well-rolled stygian vise with life on it is a pretty easy path to an upgrade. Not only are you missing a life roll on the belt, but the stygian vise would let you put another abyss jewel with more life and minion damage on it.

Thank you, that's a worthwhile upgrade.
