Bumped my best ever Acid Pet Spellbinder from the top slot. Enjoy!
10/10 SR36 Solo with in-game drops
About affixes on all my builds: Video
I wonder, do you use game speed increase from mods?
Those animations during the SR section look unnaturally fast.
Including the enemy mobs. I don’t think I ever saw the mobs moving / swinging that fast.
All default. The random modifiers in SR sometimes makes them fast and OP. Fortunately with this build there is no help for them 
9900X and 5080 help with any lag.
At 9:50 in the video you talk about how you were confused that flame torrent is better with with pets than player. Its because flame can be triggered by each pet. Each pet is its own “source” so the burn dots stack on each other. Thats why its common to see it bound to Guardians of Empyrion.
Tried it on guardians before with poor results. I will look to see if I made a mistake somewhere on my 6 fire guardian build.
I have this build that uses flame torrent on Guardians. Its not supposed to be the main damage but they do contribute a good amount of DoT and AoE.
On a build like that its would be pretty cracked (i say cracked but it is still just tier one devotion so how good can it really be)
It can do a SR36 with a good time, but one wrong boss will end it.
6 Guardian Shieldbreaker
I feel Torrent works better for pet scaled pets.
Seriously? 3 Double Rare MI’s? The real world chances of getting all those are less than 0.1% if I’m remembering the basic maths right. Anyhow, here’s the set up that’s realistic:
Can use different affixes of course, the power is in the offhand, not so much the affixes and it should work fine. Would be nice though if there were some magic level pet affixes. But Zantai isn’t a fan of pet builds having it easy lawl.
How To Pet MI Run
Not one of my MI’s has perfect affixes for the build. One might farm better MI’s in a few days.
it’s not about perfect Auto, it’s about the stats they bring.
A double rare can still “carry” a build even if it’s not perfect, that’s (part) of why “theorycrafter”/gdstash builders stopped using them.
On this cabalist you might not realize it, but the double rare pants/shoulders are actually giving the pets their perfect res overcap combined on 3 ele res affixes + 1 helmet. That doesn’t mean the build fails and would suffer with a less affix, but it’s a difference that can impact runs/players if not getting “any” ele res affix.
Your own/“char” chaos res is covered by specific affixes too, without the Ordered+Ancient prefix, char doesn’t have chaos overcap. Sure it’s not as detrimental on a pet build but it has an impact and will impact “others” not getting it.
So when you say the affixes don’t matter you’re underestimating what the affixes are actually covering, and what double rares sometimes add to your build.
It’s not always about dmg/speed, sometimes it’s just basic defence like res specific affixes a double rare handles. And that makes it a type of requirement/“hard(er)” to obtain legit for people not farming 6000hours
*that’s not me saying people can’t post double rares, but to not underestimate what “random” double rares still add to a build contra “illegitimate” single rare affix pickings

It’s always nice to see non-essential affixes left blank on the item.
Even if you found those items as SSF, you only keep the affixes that are strictly necessary and shift some resist-augments around. That makes it much easier for people who want to try the build themselves, since they have a bit more flexibility when putting the gear together.

You do have a valid point. If a new player only looked at the GT link they might think the affixes are the best possible. Hopefully they read the description or watch the video.
Not the case for pet builds. That’s why I like them so much
literally carrying your resists

I understand you are saying some are good affixes.
Better player resistances means you don’t have to hide behind pets quite as much.
Better pet resistances keep you from having to re-summon them.
“Carrying”? Not sure where you are getting that. Pet builds are very different from tanks.
this must be the only game when ppl who post their builds gets flammed for using very rare items.

i mean it’s simple
without resist, which your specific affixes carry, you and your pets die faster
if you strip the affixes, you and pets have less defence, therefor more difficulty; this build is not just relying on specific affixes to cover said defence (nothing wrong with that) - but is relying on the double rares for it too.
Hence the underestimating what double rares mean for build even when not perfect; you’re still utilizing XY stat, and it can be significant
i don’t know how it started, - the opposite would be to leave affixes blank which means you can’t showcase adequate basic performance metric, very few did do that, tho i think it’s sorta silly/unnecessarily unrealistic.
In Automator’s case it’s just “peculiar” as he likes to invalidate other’s build by default, when using MIs and nice single rare affixes as insta illegitimate and GDstash, also even when from a SSF player (pot/kettle’ish)

why can’t ppl just post their builds as they played them? The game is easy to hack to get in items and some ppl have played and farmed for thousands of hours.

I borrowed time from my “To Do” list today to make this. I hope it answers any questions about how I do builds.
you’re literally showcasing exactly what was said 
- you not only changed your build to make it work with the changes(component+augs+new res affixes);
the performance was no longer a 10 (not that we’re gonna argue about an 8 vs 10 in your format, a clear is clear)
i don’t think you get it, but it’s okay if we aren’t on the same page
