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

As someone who has leveled with this build (now nearing the end of merciless) MoM was without a doubt how I lived throughout the game. It started to get a little rough due to not being able to regen my energy shield. But the second I hit 64 and put on a geoffri's all that ended.Having the large life regen numbers apply to energy shield, means its always regening pretty quickly.

Bone offering is more than enough healing for my current 3k hp pool, I am sure it will be fine later when you factor in temp chains and other semi defenses.

Last question is easiest to answer: yes, it is one of my chars (read my forum signature).

Based on my knowledge Controlled Destruction should affect all golem's skills (initial hit and ignites by consequence), and from my brief testing just b4 2.2 it does work.

Using Ball Lightning with 1 curse in a 4l still leave you with GMP. As for cast speed - I had a lot of it from gear and jewels, so it wasn't an issue for me. But I can see it being a problem for you.

About mana: when I was playing srs (bloodmagic staff) casting flesh offering, phase run, cursing with ball lightning was ok with just 70ish unreserved mana and arround 20 mana regen. 60% slower recovery maps were little rough, and for no-regen I needed mana flask obviously.

Coming from previous paragraph I understand that MoM is nicer to play. Easier to handle map mods, easier to re-summon golems (no need to use bloodmagic gem/turn off auras during summoning). By saying that pure life (with 6-7k life pool) is the way to go I meant that it would be more tanky in hardest situations. And I know you almost never get into trouble with your buffed up temp chains and block.

So I tried the ball lighting curse on hit, and liking it quite a bit. I'm one level away from being able to use my veil, if I were shooting for a 4th curse what should I use?

Or even if I don't go for a 4th curse, which aura could I use in its spot?

Thanks.

haha, sorry, I didnt even look at your signature. I was extremely tired. Ill have to give Controlled Destruction a try over the next week.

Just watched your atziri vid, looks great. I'm jealous of your movement speed.

I suggest enfeeble with CoH. im curious about assassins mark though, so the golems crit =D

haha those are the curses I was going to try , glad to see I am on the same page =-). Close to being able to test it out.

Also if you dont use 3 curse auras, you might like arctic armor

Just add enfeeble, like DreamScythe said. But I would use both defensive ones with Blasphemy, and 2 offensive with CoH.

someone posted on my atziri video that spell echo works with golems now. This was also confirmed by a dev post.

So I went ahead and gave spell echo a try, replacing chance to ignite. Needless to say, all hell reigned down upon thy enemies. Words cannot describe how powerful spell echo is.

I still think ignite is strong as well, so I suggest if you can afford a +1 curse amulet, to use that and link ball lightning with CoH assassins mark (crit = ignite).

Once I get a 6L geofri's and a +1 curse amu, Ill be running the assassins mark, and ill gain fire pen. I am also leveling a controlled destruction gem which may potentially replace empower lvl 3.
