Level 81 Absolution Guardian^{3.23.ruthless}

Notes

Hello Dear Reader , this is a setup oriented to reach 68 or maps the most smoothly possible:


TlDR of Ruthless Mode : The Ruthless is a veteran mode for people who seek a challenge via less Playerpower ( gear , ascendancy , link )
That mean you have to solve any defensive issues with Tree (Elemental Resistance/Life) because you will have longer fight again Boss and dying isn't an option (give health back to boss)

Guardian Ascendancy give 3 Auras (Wrath , Hatred, Anger) , a Taunt Minion (10% less damag taken) , 10% damage from Hits are taken from your Radiance Relic before your life , 15

Bandits// 
              Kill Them all : 2 Point can open a cluster or an extra jewel for more damage/ life etc

Muling : Do Tidal Island quest with both of them
1_Marauder(4) : Start Ground Slam Lvl 4 -> Molten Shell  (roah quest reward)
2_Witch mule if Templar main (14) : Start Raise Zombie , Summon Raging Spirit , Clarity , Flesh offering , Desecrate (Chamber of Sins lvl 2)

All Active gem use during Campaign after Muling : (end-game setup in skills)

Holy Flame Totem
Molten Shell
Clarity (stop it at gem level 8-10 more isn't necessary until you have mana issue )

Merveil fight her at level 14 setup you will have +13% all res
Weaver , lot of Magic monsters (elemental damage) again you , recommand to kill her after bandits . 
( When you have Absolution use it again trash minion// Summon Raging Spirit again boss & tanky Rare , it is difficult to use both as same time)
You can remove Summon Raging Spirit at end of the campaign if you wish
