Great guide, been playing for years and found yours extremely helpful and detailed. Quick question about ascendency points, does Pendulum of Destruction work for your golems? Beacon of Ruin no longer worth it?

Thanks

In PoB build, there are minion dmg mods on granite flask, and the flask is enabled. Is that a mistake, maybe from some testing?

Likely, which PoB build link did I leave that in?

The only mod enabled should be a flask with Golems have 160% increased damage. This simulates the Elemancer node. There should also be an increased golem effect simulation for liege of the primordial but i haven't figured out how to word it without screwing up other buffs. Just know that we have more life regen/phys resist than listed because of 200% increased golem buff effect

Alright I am headed to bed I have to work in way to few hours, I have been playing around with PoB for too long tonight.

Here is my last build I had before I decided to call it.

6L Bow for Ice golems
6L Chest for Bow Attack you don't need +1 gems or Maim in it. Just get the best life roll and then multi mod it.
3L Quiver for Frenzy and maim
3L Gloves for Jewel and War Banner until we know how accuracy changes affect golems
4L Boots for movement with blood magic
4L Helmet for Golem buffs so you are running 5/1/1/1


It has Mom and Phase Acro

Frankly no idea if it is any good at this time but it is too late for me to keep going at it today.

does someone here know what the price for primordial chains are at first day? i did golem as a leaguestarter 3 leagues ago but that was only because i could rush the amulet for 8c while farming BA to get tabula + amu.

did the price stay stable around 10c in the first 10-15h of the new league? then ima start golems right away again.

I like this tree! I've always been trying to make MoM and phase acro work. Just a few more improvements.

Arcane Will is significantly better than Dreamer. Pathing out through the minion damage nodes is inefficient, just come out the right side instead and save 2 points at the cost of 20% minion damage 4% attack speed. 2 points will get you more than that elsewhere.

Since Precision Aura is a flat ~200 Reserve you'll definitely want to make space for it and drop CoP for Grip of the Council.

Maybe Something Like This? https://pastebin.com/p3q3LeT7



With this setup if you can find a way to drop 3 sockets you're better off going back to clayshaper + Victario's Charity. You'll see a significant damage improvement from that as you already have the chest slot free to craft and aren't reserving a significant number of aura's.

"

So while I should get a dps boost from Victario's Charity since I can give golems frenzy charges, I run into the same problem with the chest pieces where I need Maim again.

The nice thing about the bow build was that maim was applied to targets everytime I hit them. It also seemed like a much easier craft system vs Maim chest.

So what do you mean I have the chest slot free to craft?

You can use an elder chestpiece to fossil craft something like this... This used to be the end-game league goal but I'm not recommending it for new players following the guide anymore because of how much of a pita it is to craft. More experienced golemancers can theorycraft their own numbers/gear to fit their playstyles.

It's a pita in the ass to hit both maim and +1 socketed gems. Expect to spend 20 ex+ crafting something halfway similar to that. Even without maim though i'm simming frenzy charges more dps for your setup with precision aura.

In the first post it is stated that this build is very expensive and is not recommended as a league starter. is this this valid for the upcoming legion league ?

cheers
