I made it to wave 19 before dying to many times to Kosis, The Revelation. Although, it was the first time I went into the simulacrum and didn't know any of his abilities.

Edit: Did a second simulacrum and reached wave 20 before Kosis, The Revelation showed up again and killed me enough times to end the run. Although from what I read about him, people struggle with him.

Hi, i have a big problem, with my gear i take too long to do minotaur, with elementalist instead of necro dps increases?

i have a big mistake, when i import my profile in pob i see the dot dps of tukohama's totem : 15k dps , when i open your i see 159k :\ where i wrong? pls help me :\

Thank you for the advice. Picked up new boots, belt, a handful of primordial harmonies with 45% golem CDR and even an awakened minion damage support.

Hello :)

Awakened minion damage is definitely great addition. Awakened Echo and GMP should be the absolute min-maxing for the build in the end.

Hi :)

Can't speak from own experience yet, but from what I have heard the default Necromancer seems to be able to do the waves quite nicely. If you move all the time, rely on Temporal Chains and keep block chance up trash mobs should not be very difficult.

For the boss I would try to save 1-2 Rumis flasks for keep the block as high as possible. If you need additional defenses, you can check what type of element the boss uses and run purity of that type, flask of that type and the shield that increased that types resistance like Kaltenhalt.

Hello :)

Minotaur is one of the hardest bosses for the builld. High physical damage an kill the char as it has almost 0% armor, boss goes underground all the time and Golems are close to the boss which makes the use weaker spells.

Elementalist has more DPS, and has additional armor from Stone Golems which makes the char more tankier against Minitaur. However Golem level will be much lower, so without at least 21/0 Gem level and maybe Empower 3-4 the Golems can die to the constant stone rain if you are using Primordial Chain amulet.

You can increase Golem and your own defense with armor flask and using Empower / minion life support / taking minion life nodes. If you do Minotaur only sometimes, it's possible to just run around and try to keep away from the Golems and they will use their ranged attacks.

If you want to Specialise on Minotaur, I would almost run alternative Golem setup for the boss alone. You can use tabula rasa or some corrupt 6 link and link it with Stone Golem or Ice Golems. Just swap curse and the armor for the fight and it should go much smoother.

Your defenses might be bit less, but the physical Golems can beat Minotaur much faster. They are however slower at clearing maps, so you might want to swap back after the boss fight.

Hi :)

You have to set Spectres info in the setup page.

Set "Scorching Totem Ray count" to 8, and you reach 135k DPS.

Tick also "Enemy is ignited" as you are using Combustion on Golem and you reach 150k DPS.

Tick also "Enemy was hit by cold damage" to add Elemental Equilibrium and you reach 198k DPS.

Tick also any other effects you might have on from other curses, auras, minions or supports.

Here is your PoB with some fixed settings : https://pastebin.com/6kNwuuU2

Hope this helps!

Thank you very much for a greater explain :D

I was wondering if I can have any tips on how to improve my characters. Having some troubles with damage and survivability in end game content. I have around 15 ex to spend on gear upgrade. Maybe some tweaks to the passive tree too as this is my first golem elementalist. TY!

I just got shavronne and that helped my survivabilty by a lot as I was dying to mainly chaos. I still would like some suggestions on damage improvement. Fighting end game t15/t16 bosses hp seem to slowly trickle down. Maybe I should cut out some HP nodes for another harmony gem?

Sorry if this was answered earlier in the thread, but 470 pages is a lot to go through.

Is it possible to use https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/The_Jinxed_Juju? It would be a straight 10% damage reduction, a DPS boost, and aura boost, and a curse effectiveness boost. The loss of chaos res is annoying, but the stun loss can be mitigated by changing Pantheon choices.

Hey :)

Np, glad to hear it helped! ^^

Hello :)

For boosting DPS, I can really recomment "Elegant Hubris" -jewel and hunt for "Slum Lords" with it. If you get 2-3x 80% minion damage nodes, your DPS will get massive boost.

Here's how to try to craft one :


I would suggest using "minions have chance to taunt / blind" "Ghastly eye" jewel. This way your Stone and Chaos Golems can draw aggro and also blind make your enemies. You can also propably swap Golems "Elemental Army" support for Empower as Golems are already immune to elemental damage and they get extra levels from Empower and also boost your defenseive buffs. I would also swap Lightning Golem for "Chance to blind" -support, to stack chance to blind to be as fast as possible in fights.

I prefer Phase Run over Shield Charge, as I used to die lot more when I just charged around the screen and in the middle of enemy packs. I have also noticed similar behavior in the thread, so I can imagine that just swapping movement skill could lower number of deaths. Phae Run also has less chance for Aggro which is nice with Temporal Chains and chance to taunt on Golems.

I would also try to get 110+ ES Chystal belt and 150+ ES Gloves. ES on rings also seems quite low, as they are one of your main way of getting ES. I would try to get 40+ ES on both.

One way to increase DPS is to use "Pledge of Hands" staff with Elementalist.

Hello :)

The Amulet seems ok before getting Chayula. However you would lose chaos res, HP to ES boost and stun immunity which are quite big part of defense.

10% less damage seems pretty nice, but I think your would end losing more than you gain form it. If it granted +1 Spectre level, it would be different story.
