[3.14] Flame Golem 101 - Complete Guide To Golemancy, ✔️All Bosses Down, ✔️Necro, ✔️Elementalist

Mika, thanks for ur reply and r4plez

Damage is indeed good, only lacking on life and shield atm sitting at ~1500 and ~5000


Swapped some points in the tree to get the reduced mana nodes but I still cant use dicipline, temp and elemental weaknes. Should I change the nodes back to get more life again?

I did get animate guardian now with the recommended gear, I tried using the guardian alone but it did not cast the elemental curse. It should do that right?
(Inbefore I didnt give it the gloves with the curse on hit, cause lootfilter didnt show it and I cannot remember if I pressed alt when I equiped it with items, if so; rip 20 chaos ;P)


Any tips on how to get more ES? The rainbow boots give only ~200 more but then I lose a specter.

Probably my favorite build out of all I played, feels very strong too, except I still fear 12+ maps cause squichy.

Hey :)

Your problem is that your boots grant you Haste lvl 14, which you have enabled some time ago and have left on. Turn the haste off as its eating almost half of your reserved mana. Also take "Leadership" and you are good to go with 2x curse and Discipline ;)

Animate Guardian should be cursing ele weak if you equipped gloves to it. You can check it by turning Ele Weak off, and see of AG curses it on hit.

You probasbly want to take left rouse to "Whisper of Doom" and take Skittering Runes to cap Temp Chains effect with enhance.

Dont know if it has been mentioned before but the Animated guardian cannot apply curse on hit to my knowledge.

Im playing as occultist and doing great until now.
Dont have all jewels yet but will have then soon.
Anyway the only real doubt I have is what flasks to use as occultist since Rumi's i dont think will do any good for me.
Mainly Im using Life Flasks and a Silver Flask.

Thanks for the build!

Itd be my first try for a golem build. the primodial jewel is expensive even if you vendor recipe (1.3ex right now) how budget/league starter friendly is the build?

mika, u asked to check ur Nagara character - but he has no items equiped :D

That it has haste on it doesnt mean im running haste without knowing. It was just an unlucky corruption. Anyway getting leadership on the tree enables me to run discipline, temperal chains and ele weakness.

Need more points atm to get more nodes in tree.

Need more shield.

Elementalist
- Best overall damage (More Golems shooting if going with 6x Flame Golems)
- Best movement speed with shield charge (Especially with 4+1+1 as Lightning Golems gives attack buff and ascendancy node gives attack speed)
- Status immunities (Especially with 4+1+1 while using Deaths Doors)
- More efficient at low-mid tier level & items

Also with a 4+1+1+1 layout, (fire, ice, lightning, chaos) + basalt, you can easily stay around 30-35% physical damage reduction, which adds an interesting layer of defense.
I've recently switch to 4+1+1+1 (+2 TV), losing energy shield as I removed my shield to use another clayshapper, but I really feel like it was worth it.

Also, to go further, if you have an item with aspect of the crab, you can even get more physical damage reduction (+20% after 10sec), which can help a lot without losing much ehp, or golems damage.

Can't really test it that much, as I don't have access yet to it :(

Hello :)

I can assure that Animate Guardian can curse with curse on hit gloves. It just checks if items have the line and it it's there, the cursing will happen.

Thanks for the support ^^

Flasks choices are very free with this build. Rumi's is nice against 1hit kill moves like Shaper Smash or Minotaurs Burrow even if the max chance to block is 20% with new version. Other flasks I run are life + mana with anti-burn, freeze and bleed removal. 1x silver flask makes moving with Shield Charge lot faster.

Hi :)

You can get to high tier maps pretty easily with only Specters, few dozen chaos and can start farming currency but like with all true Golem builds getting the Primordial jewels costs multiple exalts. Items can be slowly upgraded from there, but before getting Primordial jewels the build functions a lot like Specter only build, if not going with Elementalist from the start.

mika, u asked to check ur Nagara character - but he has no items equiped :D

Hey :)

I have chars called "Prof_nakki_maggara" and "Professsor_Naggi_Maggara". I meant the second one which is lvl 97 Elementalist. Maybe I could have named chars more differently.

Hey :)

Didn't mean to assume you had Haste in so strongly. Glad you got all auras running in the end ^^

Taking curse effect nodes from Skittering Runes and maybe buying corrupt Enhance 3 would be next big step at some point? Leveling after getting curses running at high effect will be very easy.

For more shield you can take "Unnatural Calm", maybe self craft or buy higher ES roll Crystal Belt. Rings and gloves are looking pretty good already.

Hi guys,
I started playing aas a golemancer for this league and I have a few questions.

The fisrt one concern the summoning of the golems. It seems not possible to summon them during a fight because the auras (temporal, elemental weakness and discipline) let me like 40 mana. So, to have the 40% bonus to damage during 8 sec when summoning, how can I do?

The second concern the spectres. I decided to totaly forget them as during a boss fight, they instant died... I used this helmet and Tukohama Vanguards. Any advices?

Last, I also decided to forgive Necrometic Aegis I order to increse my ES pool. Is that a good think?

To conclude, here down is my actual stuff:

Hey :)

Golems should not really die at all with your levels. Each level Golems get 10% more DPS and HP, so the higher they go, the tankier the get. Golems are not meant to be resummoned at all, as they need few seconds after summoning to get back attacking and the bonus is short and pretty small. They are more useful staying alive and letting char kite all the time.

What level Specters have you raised? I have used T16-17 Specters in all Guardian and Shaper fights and only lost maybe 1x in whole Shaper fight occasionally. They seems to have resists capped and minion life support, so they should be able to survive about any boss fights.

Quoting myself here :

Keeping Specters level up

When you enter any area while you have certain type of Specter up, it will automatically add that Specter type to the possible monster types that can be desecrated in the area. If you have level 50 Specters and want to raise them to level 60, you have to :
Enter level 60 area with wanted type of Specter raised
Start casting high enough level Desecrate to summon level 60 Corpses
Continue casting Desecrate until you find wanted type of corpse
(Optional) At this point drop all original Specters by removing the gem and inserting back again
Raise the Specter and it will be now level 60
Continue casting Desecrate until you have maximum number of Specters from the area

Necro Aegis gives minions chance to block as well as damage boost. This gives them much higher chance to survive in boss fights also. Using shield to raise EHP (HP + ES) is good option, but lower damage and minion survival quite a bit.

You seem to have everything in order for Specs to survive. I would suggest giving them yet another go with using at least T16 specs, Necro Aegis and maybe using "Rathpith" or "Daresso's Courage" to raise their block. You can also change Flesh Offering to Bone Offering to really max their block chance. The DPS boost is just too good to be missing even without Victarios Charity.

Hey :)

Pretty interesting setup you have. I dont usually try to raise phys reduction myself at all, as Temp Chains and kiting keeps physical packs at bay and bosses manifest 1-hit kill moves nicely. Armor / reduction has to be pretty high to actually make difference in Minotaur or Shaper fights.

Havent tested Aspect of the Crab myself also as I don't have the items, but them being armor and not ES base makes them pretty non-optimal for EHP.

If you want to add bleed immunity to your immunities, you can try using there boots :

They work fine even without +1 level if you just take "Skittering Runes" for curse effect boost.
