Damage engine and purpose
Siphon Blood lets Iron Rose trigger free Blood Novas. Trag’Oul scales the Life-skill engine, Funerary Pick the channel and Bloodtide the Nova in density.
Item, skill and rune names use their English game spelling for unambiguous lookup. Explanations, rotation and limitations are fully translated.

Legendary and normal gems
Legendary gems: Bane of the Stricken / Zei's Stone of Vengeance / Bane of the Trapped.
Normally use an Emerald in weapon sockets; choose the helm socket for cooldown or Life needs. Match armour sockets to missing main stat or toughness. Seasonal Soul Shards replace helm or weapon gems only in the explicitly identified seasons.
Stats, cooldowns and optimisation
Physical, Death Nova, critical stats, Area Damage and enough toughness for nearby targets. Siphon uptime and the Simulacrum/Bond state matter more than sheet DPS.
Complete the required legendary powers, correct runes and full set bonuses first. Cooldown reduction combines multiplicatively; do not simply add percentage rolls. Weigh a boss gem against a farming gem according to actual boss-fight length.
Rotation: preparation, damage, refresh
Step 1
Summon Simulacrum, then apply Frailty and Bone Armor to the first pack.
Step 2
Continuously channel Siphon Blood into density so Iron Rose triggers Novas.
Step 3
Refresh Bone Armor deliberately for Krysbin; Blood Rush away from dangerous ground and resume channeling.
Patch boundaries and verifiable context
This version starts with the Trag’Oul/Iron Rose/Funerary Pick rework in 2.7.4. Five Trag’Oul plus two Guardian pieces require the cubed Grandeur ring.
Guardian prioritises solo progression with limited main stat. Very high Paragon may favour other armour combinations; no untested fixed crossover threshold is claimed.
Check before the next equipment change
Count set pieces before replacing a free armour slot. Equipping and cubing an identical legendary power does not double it. Solo Unity requires a follower wearing the other ring with immortality equipped.
This archive describes the period configuration. A current item database may show new numbers under the same name; those live tooltips do not prove historical multipliers. Old seasonal powers cannot be replayed on current non-seasonal characters.
