Concept: The Soul-Iron Armory (AG Wardrobe)

The Animate Guardian Wardrobe is a proposed Hideout decoration designed to remove the "clunkiness" and gear-loss anxiety associated with the Animate Guardian (AG) skill in Path of Exile.

Key Features
Dedicated Skill Gem Slot:
At the top of the UI, there is a specific slot for your Animate Guardian Skill Gem. This "links" the gear directly to the gem without the need to drop items on the ground.

Three Loadout Tabs (Quick-Swap):
The interface features three tabs (e.g., Mapping, Bossing, Defense). This allows players to have different gear sets ready for different types of content without having to manually re-equip the Guardian.

Visual Equipment Grid:
A full gear interface (Helmet, Body Armour, Gloves, Boots, and Weapon/Shield) that shows exactly what the AG is currently wearing. No more guessing or checking spreadsheets!

Gear Lock & Security:
Once items are placed in the wardrobe, they are "locked" to that loadout. This prevents accidental deletion or overwriting of expensive items (like a Kingmaker or Garb of the Ephemeral).

Stat & Aura Overview:
On the right side of the UI, a summary panel shows the active Auras and Defensive stats provided by the Guardian's current gear, making it easy to see how much it buffs the player and other minions.

Why this is needed:
Currently, the process of gearing an AG is invisible and risky. This concept turns the AG into a manageable "sub-character," making it much more user-friendly for both new and veteran players.

This gould be a great idea for AG players.

Sorry but this is not just a great suggestion. It's an absolute must-have.
I can't believe this is still not in the game.

A very pleasant presentation of your idea!
