Yeah that's why I'm saying the crusade slam Guardian gets better be fucking awesome to offset what the Necro tree gives. You get a ton of shit that you usually can't use like the increased damage when you consume corpses with flesh offering or damage when you use a minion skill and quite a lot of attackpeed, you get a ton of free duration for your temporary minion shit(70% on the ascendency alone) so they'll be a lot easier to maintain. The main thing you're losing is defensive capability of Guardian, stuff like ES based on reserved mana, 3% life regen and the ton of block every now and then but the vast difference in damage should help.
Accuracy I think you can get RT if you really want to hit. That or can just get some accuracy on gear, you do get like 30% accuracy in the accuracy minion wheel to the left of templar, and you can get that dex+accuracy node in the templar start too, it's not a bad one. That's 60% accuracy on the tree, assuming some decent flat accuracy on gear I think it wouldn't be that bad hitting 90% chance to hit or whatever, which is reasonable. It's not like DB is going to be your main source of damage if you build for minions I think.
If you mean minion accuracy, shouldn't be an issue there's a ton on the tree if you pick minion nodes. Left wheel has 70%, Spiritual Command gives 20% and Lord of the Dead gives 30%. You can get 20% more next to Spiritual command and 20% in the wheel if you take the last point too but I think the 120% base is going to be more than enough. Pretty sure the guardian accuracy is overkill.
Going to try out this Pathfinder VS build Forum - Ranger - [3.4] KissMeQuick's Pet Viper Strike | Dat Dere 4 Delve ! 10+ Brazillion DPS | Starter for FRIENDS! - Path of Exile

I don't think that guy worked out his mana reservations correctly. HoAg with 4 supports and HoP with 2 supports is well over 100% mana reserved.
Clearing with a melee skill using 14s poisons is going to suck. I hate poison duration and I'm already dreading that my trickster's duration is over 3s.

Back in Bestiary or Abyss I gave Oni Goroshi a whirl, following Engineering Eternity's build with Lightning Strike. As an SSF player, it was the strongest build i've ever had, at least in terms of fast af map clearing, thanks to A) the built-in 6 link and B) the strength of the sword as it levels with you. I'm thinking of doing it again this league, and I found this Frost Blades build that looks to be as strong if not moreso. However my google-fu is failing me and I'm curious what other main attack abilities can be used to similar effect with the Oni? Primarily just to change the aesthetics, as I'm a not a big fan of lightning / ice, but I am a big MTX slut. Also would be cool to try Smite, if it's feasible. I did see ZiggyD's melee Smite summoner, and it looks fun, but I'm playing on a god damn Surface Pro 4, so I figure i'll try to Save the Frames by not dragging 20+ minions with me.
On an unrelated note, how long have Vaal gems also given the base skill? I hope it's a recent change and not that I'm a giant blind noob.

he's got it more worked out in new pobs on the last couple pages, not sure if he's updated the OP. he's also counting on hoa for a lot of clearing
I'll admit I am in no way stoked to farm it again, but at least now I know how good it is, so I can use that to fuel my trio of Scions scampering up and down the coast.

I haven't decided if I'm going to play this league yet. Is the Delve "stuff" available along the way from the start like incursion was or more end game? I thought I'd wait till some people stream it and then decide, just didn't know if it would be start or whatever.

He's closer, but still not there. Empower on HoAg is cheaper, not sure if worth it, but his link on the HoP is still wrong. He has Wither instead of Withering Touch.
