[3.25] Svalinn Lightning Strike Warding Warden

Hey I've got another build for you exiles. After a few less than desirable builds, I finally got one that clicked with me this league. It makes use of the new Svalinn shield as well as the updated ward mechanics with the Ynda's Stand belt. Just the combination of these two items makes for a very defensive character, but we don't stop at that! With evasion, spell dodge, elusive and freeze, this warden build is really good at avoiding damage! Overall, this has been an extremely comfortable and fast build to play, taking on all t17s and juiced content with ease.

Was scrolling saw the thumbnail. Brain sensors went off. Look at name. Yes. Very yes. Welcome back sir.

Hey thank you so much for this guide. I have a lvl 91 ls warden I abandoned because I was so sick of dying. I think your build completely fixes all the issues I had with it.

[Aokimarcel]

Miss your videos! the format is awesome

[jamespcutco]

Man, been playing since 2018. Your videos helped me immensely back then to get my head around this massive game. Seeing your video pop up on my feed this morning was awesome. Such a great guide. Thorough and succinct. Well done, sir and thank you!

[kevikoal]

I don’t think any other youtuber goes more in-depth into a build guide than this one.

[luckydvil]

Thank you very much! I come from a lolcohol guide and died a lot in late game. Switched only parts to this and its so much more fun to play already.
I'm still playing with claw (cant afford dagger right now). Very exited to fully implement this

[Fabian_Lobo]

I mean, what else needs to be said, right? Clear and perfect explanation as expected.
The best to you, yours and the folks in the comments.

i woke up and looked at youtube, thought i was still dreaming when i saw EE had put up a build guide. Good video 10/10 points!

[noodlepoodleoddle]

Thank you for the guide. If anyone else is on the fence still, here is my brief experience following this build:
Pro: Build is very tanky as showcased and it's easy to gear. You can get a character to T17s on a ~12ish div budget and a big chunk of that is the LoM jewel. If you are on an extremely tight budget, craft 2 small cluster jewels and that will cover most of your chaos res.
Con: It's a clicking intensive build. To get meaningful damage you need to utilize both tinctures, unbound and VLS. Unbound is good for mapping but it feels clunky on Bosses especially Ubers so take that into consideration.

Love to see an EE video pop up ; hope stuff been going good

[Taiyri]

I think I found the warden build I want to try for the league, thanks for putting this guide out!

Edit: For those that don't like using Natural Affinity and dealing with the grasping vines, I'd suggest dropping it for Secrets of Suffering. Then you can swap out either herald of ice or vitality for Summon Skitterbots, to give 2 more ailments for increased Yoke damage. If you remove vitality, make sure to swap the Watcher's Eye mod as well. After making these changes, I ended up with 1k less phys max hit and about 2 mil more dps, assuming 1 melee hit and 2 projectile hits from lightning strike.

[kiwiinbrazil]

Great to see you... i have an idle level 89 warden that now has a new task. Thanks man

[NrdWnd]

I will always fondly remember your Thicc Jugg Builds. You brought us back then the Ultra Marine to Path of Exile, now we have the Adeptus Sororitas. The build is pure fun but expensive. Many many thanks!

[mrbuIIets]

Been looking for a build to scale off palsterons starter. This looks like exactly what I was looking for. Thanks dude.
