[PoE] Project Bob - The Animate Guardian with BILLIONS of DPS - Stream Highlights

[@Empyriangaming]

What an insane project... Probably the hardest / most expensive we've ever done. The first POB number Márkusz / Bazuka posted in our project-discord was a month ago, so it's been a long time cooking. The final number is actually a bit smaller because Commander of Darkness (Necro aurabot ascendancy) was calculated twice but it's not that big of a difference. There will be a detailed reddit post by Márkusz with all POBs (I'll update the description when that's out). Thanks for everyone who contributed and thanks for watching!

The downtime is actually Bob going: "Excuse me?" at anything, that dared to survive the initial barrage.

[@MrMarkusz]

Oh, you are approaching me?

[@mipking3975]

I like to think that after someone surviving his first attack, Bob will think to himself:Finally! I don't have to hold back! And takes a second for him to do the final punch of death

[@shiny1625]

and then he goes: "Excuse you!" after being unleashed. YEP

[@stillasleepxd]

"These are D3 numbers" what an accurate statement for Bobs damage.

[@Mp57navy]

Nah. D3 numbers are in the trillions. My old Vyr/Chantodo set tops at 50 bil per hit i can get close to GR 100 solo with it. It's long since superseded by Tal Rasha again, singular hits in the double digit trillion range.

[@korassssssss]

@@Mp57navy Can confirm, I made a DH for funzies recently and had such dmg with like paragon 200 because I've found all needed stuff for my build right away, my 1st 'wall' (so when I stopped one shoting absolutely everything) was GR 94, lol.

[@OGCatneySama]

@@korassssssss current impale DH with a sanctified weapon and basic set can do solo 120 GRs with no paragon in a couple seconds and hits for 1000s of billions of damage.

@@OGCatneySama I'm 100 sure you are right, I made hungering Arrow straffer because this what I found and it was this strong right away - for me, comming back after few years it was hilariously op, I remember pushing 90' on my barb or low 100 on my giga optimised vyr wiz

What a amazing project. I really enjoy seeing a glimpse into what can be done with nearly unlimited funds, and the stuff you and your friends can think up.

[@Empyriangaming]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@MrMarkusz]

I had Savage hit enchant on Rumi, so I only had block in the first rounds, that caused me to live first then die later on, it wasn't the life recoup as we originally thought, recoup is too slow of a mechanic, it's all Vinktar vs this high dps

[@ledudequiventleshamwow7518]

[@TheGwopboyzprodigy]

Imagine being the strongest and accepting a challenge from a party of one who lives but isn’t alive. His heralds come and throw him at you “Bob”, Unimpressed you send them away as your flasks run out. They return without “bob” and preform a ritual, throwing rocks and stones, Before long the air shifts…something is coming. In complete ecstasy one of them wails “Bob is Unleashed!!” Bracing for this encounter, The ritual seems to have stalled but nothing changes… “Ohhhhh Bob doesn’t exist one mumbles to himself. The audio cuts as if the world been muted. You fall, confused as to when you lost your balance. Hands twisting, mangled and disfigured as your head spins in impossible ways as you land at “His” feet. You have encountered “Bob”

Wanted to suggest rolling consecrated ground on map so Baran would also heal, but then Bob disintegrated him in like 0.4 seconds.

[@To3To3To3]

glad you did the comparison part, I was wondering what a good character would be like on these fights. glad to see bob was not exaggerated in his power.

[@edentity3183]

How does the destructive link support work? My understanding was that the link gives your crit to the linked target, is there some interaction that causes it to give base damage as well or is that just built in?

[@m01t4123]

it just gives alot crit multi and some base crit , he needs a minion mastery so he can link to bob. The base damage comes from inspiring bond , its a node in the passive skill tree.

[@edentity3183]

When I made my first buit I thought a few million was a lot, looking at end league Poe ninja I though a few billion was the ceiling. Bob doing this much damage is surreal, I never thought such numbers would be possible in Poe

The name Bob for a minion is old as time itself. In Dark Age of Camelot, everyone called Cabalist pets Bob. I named mine Maynard yet people kept calling him Bob.

For the next league's end project I'd love to see you try to oneshot these bosses before their damage reduction falls off. Even the most cracked CoD builds have to wait a few seconds and considering how insane the damage reduction is, I'm wondering just how much it's gonna take to overcome that (if it's even possible).

I just realised that if you as a person were wearing your gear your right ring slot would actually be ur left slot and viceversa , mindblowing, I know. (so bob would technically die against uber atziri)

[@LiliumCruorem]

I just got into playing with animate guardian. Only gripe is that weird tendency the guardian has to just stop and do nothing. Feels like an invisible CD. like he just isn’t aggressive. He’ll go crazy and attack mobs like mad for awhile then he just gets confused and chills. I wish AG was as aggressive as an SRS. There is that one passive thing you can get that says “minions are aggressive”. I am gonna test it soon. It just seems like AG only guards you and he doesn’t go looking for fights and sometimes midfight he just stops attacking…. Like I said: feels like AG has an invisible CD for when he can attack. He doesn’t act like a regular minion. He isn’t even as aggressive as a normal zombie minion.
