Hey!
If I have the currency already for the jewels and gear, when is the earliest time you'd say you can start doing golems? Is it as soon as you get them at 38? I really like leveling with the build I'm playing as much as possible instead of leveling as something else.

Thanks for the write-up.

Is it possible to play Spectre and Golems ?

I think I've finally finished revising my setup for Hardcore. Done testing and everything works as it should.

I've done a bit of a cheeky thing to make use of the new Abyss Jewels or Shaped Jewelry.

Hypnotic Eye jewels can roll "Adds Fire/Cold/Lightning to spells" and so can Shaped Jewelry (Also helms, but that'd be really tough to find a good one, not worth the investment probably)

This means we can use unearth to both proc EE (Using adds lightning or adds cold) as well as create corpses, and gives us another slot because we don't need ball lightning anymore!

I'm personally using a Hypnotic eye jewel placed in my belt with lightning damage, chance to block when hit, and max life. I think this is the easiest and cheapest way.

Now, full list:

4L Gloves/Boots (CWDT Offerings+ Disc) [RBRB] CWDTlv20 - Spirit Offering - Discipline - Bone Offering
Order of links important! Make sure if you're editing gem positions, this can't go in clayshaper! Spirit offering must be cast before bone offering. Discipline is placed here so we don't lose it on weapon swap.

EDIT: Quick video showing it in action: https://gfycat.com/evergreenleadingchipmunk

In this video you can see the ES actually going up, but often you won't because from what I can tell the HP loss and gain are processed basically instantaneously, so when you're losing more HP than Spirit Offering can replenish, you will see your ES lower. You can be sure the Spirit Offering went off by seeing the blue spirit fly away.

4S Gloves/Boots (CWDT Utility) [RGBB] CWDT1 - Desecrate - Tempest Shield - Immortal Call

Our utility CWDT. If you prefer you can put phase run in place of Tempest Shield or IC. You can also swap the IC with Discipline if you'd prefer IC to only proc when taking large amounts of damage. I prefer it in a level 1 CWDT personally, especially since we don't use Endurance charges.

Small bonus: Tempest shield also procs EE if for some reason you can't cast Unearth because you're dodging or whatever.

4S Helm (Geofri's Crest until Vertex) [GGBB] Temp Chains - Ele Weak/Enfeeble - Blasphemy - Enhance

Corrected my mistake with Flammability

3L Weapon/Shield (Guardian + self cast Bone offer) [RRB] Animate Guardian - Minion life - Bone Offering

Animate guardian is in weapon/shield so that we can weapon swap and desummon it if it starts getting low on life, and save us some money.

3L Weapon/Shield (Unearth and Convo) [GGB] GMP - Unearth - Convocation

Self cast Convocation really helps with positioning, clear speed, and just nice QoL. I'm not sure how I ever played without it. It's so much better. The GMP unearth has added lightning/cold to spells so that it procs EE. This is great because it means we have one less spell to worry about casting, and we always have corpses for our offering CWDT, so it should never mess up and leave us with the situation where only spirit offering is popped, and no corpses left for bone offering.

Unearth has some benefits, and some downsides compared to Ball Lightning. It is much faster to cast, and also has a very fast projectile, so the EE is applied nearly instantly. Downside is the AoE is less, but I think Ball Lightning was almost overkill on the AoE anyway. I don't find I have any problem at all applying EE with Unearth.


On weapon swap (Extra clayshaper!): Flame Dash, and since we have extra clayshaper, golems do not disappear. And we don't have to re-cast anything except AG because no auras are in weapon sockets.

Can you explain how Primordial Harmony is considered the best jewel to stack over Primordial Eminence? I assume it's because the cooldown recovery allows them to use their other skills more. You've probably covered this already, but 168 pages is a bit much to go digging through. =x

For chest I'm using Sotl and Flame Golems. Both are 6 link and their total damage is pretty huge.
