Skill Reveal - Summon Stone Golem

I already see the bad AI, no thanks. :/

Well, one of the Talisman monsters summoned a chaos golem and this, so I was expecting it.

Not sure if tanky enough for when it counts - against bosses. If it's only good for trash it's as good as nothing.

maybe this golem increases phy damage? it looked like a taunt as well finaly range/spell casters get a tanky sorta pet.

seems like a walking decoy totem

Yeah, Rory hinted at it. "Picture in your mind, a golem, that's lightningy".

Awesome new addition. However you'l want to rethink the stat requirements for actually summoning golems. Golems are supposed to be added utilities for players, yet you placed a few unreasonable stat requirements on them. Chaos golem 17, 146 intel requirement? What if im marauder, duelist or ranger? Bad restrictions, please re-evaluate. They are supposed to be flexible for our purposes and play-style for added bonuses. Not required for us to actually spec to use them.

Stone Golems will likely be strength/int, making it a good alternative to the chaos golem for strengthy characters. I don't think there are any pure strength or pure dex minion skills yet, all minions are at least partially int and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

Rory made a post in the beginning of this thread describing the golem, in which he says it increases your life regen. Flame golems already increase your phys damage (and all the other damage elements too).

The Witch's Elementalist class has an ability that occasionally summons an elemental golem when you kill things with elemental damage, and the golem will be a mini-me of a regular elemental golem. It's extremely likely that a Summon Lightning Golem skill is coming alongside the Stone Golem, elsewise they wouldn't have anything to base a mini-lightning-golem on.

It's refreshing to see an on-topic and useful first post in one of these as opposed to "first page!!" or, even worse, "hypuuuuu!!!!!!"
