[2.5] Summon Raging Inferno ( 6L flame golems) - atziri 5L - 5 curse support!

It works 100% confirmed. "Energy shield protects mana instead of life." MoM directs damage to mana, which is protected by es. The wording is fine.

On a 5L Controlled Destruction is Superior to Conc Effect?

Conc effect is better than controlled destruction. CD does not double dip and affect the ignite. Conce effect does.

obviously depends if you prefer the aoe range, or not
i would make that the deciding factor

what about fire penetration instead ?
and is ignite such a big dmg factor on golems ?

well, with -150% resists ( EE, 2 curses), fire pen does less than the other options.

I'm running dual curse with Blasphemy, but i prefer using enfeeble in addition to flammability, instead of elements for the moment. The damage is high enough for the moment(still progressing on the atlas, i'm under T12) and it helps a lot for staying alive in the breach.

When I'll have the budget for, I'll go 3-curse and and elemental weakness on a COH setup with the orb of storm.

I'm specced into Life + ES without MOM/EB, I'm waiting to run higher tiers to see how it's go, but for the moment, it works well.


Still, I'm wondering : can we use multiple Anima's stone ? And go 7 golems ? Or 9 ?
Or stay at 5 but freeing the weapons slots ?

no. just one anima stone jewel is possible
you can run multiple primordial jewels, tho

@axlechen01 Have you done more testing with CI in this build? Do you still feel that your version is the more optimized. I am still torn between the two as Life/ES atm is still not feeling very safe with about 2.5k each Life/ES. But how are you recasting golems with CI + Curses + Discipline? No Blood Magic level Clarity in that case. And with all your that reserved mana how do you possible recast golems/Orb of Storms/Offerings/Desecrate?

@DreamScythe Have you noticed that when you cast Animate Guardian, the golems will start to follow it while idle? I find this incredibly annoying as when I am not using convocation to pull them, the golems are usually pretty far off from me when I am trying to run through trash in maps for example. The thing is that as annoying as it is I still cant find myself dropping guardian because of all the buffs it brings to minions.

yes, because i still have no passive points left to spec into health nodes


it's the best if you want to have the maximum amount of damage
you don't have 9 jewel sockets as life build
and 5 or 6 primordial might jewels are 200% - 270% increased minion dmg and 85% - 120% minion life (huge boost to caustic cloud dmg)

otherwise you have just have half of that stats




on the topic about my mana:
i run 3* blasphemy in heretics veil. supported by enhance (115% mana multiplier)
i run lvl 1 clarity and discipline. supported by enlighten (92% mana multiplier)

i have 34% reduced mana reserved from passive nodes
i have 20% reduced mana reserved for discipline as my helmet enchant

if you don't have the 20% helmet enchant, you need to drop enhance to improve your cursed



all said and done i have 82% mana reserved. so enough left to cast the golems and spells
i find the enhance worth the cost, because it's the biggest possible boost for your curses. elemental weakness gains 6% additional reduced resistance ;)
and outperforms flammability
