So there doesn't seem to be any reasonably priced helmets with the stone golem enchant, what would you recommend other then that? perhaps in order of best to worst? (may have missed something in the guide, but didn't see anything)
Edit: Also another question, is culling strike really the best for a damage based version? would added chaos, or added fire not be better?

Any of the following enchantments would be helpful:

Raging Spirits have 40% increased Damage.
30% increased Summon Raging Spirit Duration.
Flesh Offering grants an additional 21% increased Attack Speed.
Summon Raging Spirit has 18% chance to summon an extra Minion.

If you don't want to use the Essence of Loathing to craft your helmet, you could also go for an aura enchantment with -mana reserved.

Then maybe there is one of the Bone Helmets with a decent amount of ES out there that doesn't cost too much? but in that case be mindful not to overwrite its minion dmg with another enchantment ;)

I like the culling strike as it is really versatile, and it becomes more powerful the more players you are in party with. 10% cast speed for you, and 10% attack speed and 38% damage for your spirits is pretty neat as well. But if you are looking for options then either of the ones you mentioned should do well.

If you want you can always check my old support gem DPS calculations at page 6

I specced myself into the final Poison SRS setup.
Very expensive gears, way overkill, and totally not necessary. However, I like wasting all of my currencies for no reason. The only required extra gears to make it work are an Enlighten 3 and an Enlighten 4. The rest are for upping the ES.

I lost one aura (purity of fire) which means loss of some minion damage, cast speed, and attack speed. This damage loss turned out to be very noticeable, so I offset it by crafting minion damage affix on my gloves.

It turns out that getting rid of Energy From Within saves me two passive points (reduced mana cost nodes), as the melding cluster ups the amount of unreserved health to cast from. Also, it barely loses any ES compared to a regular 7-8% ES jewel, thanks to the Presence of Chayula. (I lost like 30 ES)

Likewise, spending three points to take Written in Blood is actually better than taking three 6% ES nodes. By taking three nodes from that cluster, my unreserved HP becomes 55. So I didn't actually need the multimodded elreon unset ring.... RIP 3ex.

So here is my final tree at level 99. At level 100 I will take Minion Life and Regeneration. I had to spec out of it to take the hybrid node to allow myself to cast. If I don't feel the necessity of that node, I'll rather take another hybrid node.


For jewels, I have a Conqueror's Efficiency, and for the rest of them I stacked minion damage and ES. I needed some dex on one of the jewels.

Sitting at 12.1k ES, on top of eight auras and two blasphemy curses. Feels pretty damn tanky.





I made a video of me doing a T14 map: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUXglKL_WXY
ES and HP are a little lower as I was still using elreon rings and I did not take Written in Blood yet.

Happy new years!

This isn't he viable tho right. Cuz if stone golem dies and you don't realize it you could rip self?

Also, why do you use Zombie and not Animate Giardian. AG is SO good

99% of the times you have Vaal Clarity up so that isn't an issue. We take 1% life regen node for the emergency case where stone golem dies and you lack the HP to cast. Just wait it out for a couple seconds and recast stone golem. Also you can't kill yourself from using skills with blood magic.

Feel like overkill.
Look at my gear - enough to do even t16 xD. Well there are some hazzard mods, but still good.

Anyway to get high dps + some curses need elreons -8 mana. But it is expensive as fck(and a lot of rng 5-20% es TT)
Using this char to map and rly enjoy it. It is so good at farming. Yeah, we are not super fast as discharge or explosive arrow, but we care not about REFLECT and some modes. Just roll map, throw into devis and roll it. Love it <3

I were thinking about such hybrid build, but it is expensive. Cuz any manipulation will envolve ENlighten 4 and elreon rings.

Good idea using wondertrap, I completely forgot about those.

Btw, how did you two get your headhunters? Burned through 3000 chance orbs or just bought them?

Bought fiend cards one by one. Currencies flow in fast just mapping and selling drops and sextants.

Some services and nerding maps. A lot.

I decided that between the two builds (Poison SRS and Ele SRS) that I will go elemental, because I dont want to interrupt my friends' curses.

My only goal atm is to reach the challenges required to get the wings- atm im at 25 completed.

Idk how to post gear and stuff so I will write it out.

I am lvl 90, I have a 5-link shavs, steppan eard boots, pariah ring, ephermeral edge sword, 200 es gloves, 200 es helm(with 3% reduced reservation), and 400 es shield, and 8 ex in my stash.

This comes out to 9900 ES with ephermeral edge, and 8700 without it.


--
If you guys could help me decide what to improve on, it would help a lot. My gems are not quality and none are corrupted, but I am considering corrupting some SRS's but maybe 6link should come before that?

I wonder - what do I need to do shaper ? I mean what about aurasetup and stuff. Golem dies rly quick. How to deal with stuff?

Feels like I need 2 vaal clarities.


Your thoughts gentelmens ? Set-up, action, tactic?
