Skill Reveal - Summon Stone Golem

I like the part when the golem Taunted all the enemies off the ranger

I like this Golem, but it does bring up and interesting question.

Why isn't Earth and actual magical element?
I see this in a lot of video games. You always tend to have Fire, Lightning and Cold, for obvious reasons. But more often then not Earth gets sidelined. And even when used it's almost always as primary defensive.

Have people heard of earthquakes? How about mud slides, or sink holes, of half a dozen other natural disasters. Earth can be seriously devastating. Earth is very solid, and people are awfully squishy.


I'd honestly love to see POE add Earth as an element. Could be somewhat more defensive, with say knockbacks and movement impairment. Status element wise it could Weakness, causing enemies to deal less damage and crit less frequently. Sort of like a mini Enfeeble.

At this point in the game, I kind feel that each of the current elements have largely got all the spells that they'd ever really need, all your bases are more or less covered. Sure more Chaos and Physical spells would be welcome, but I'd honestly prefer a new element and expand magic as a whole.

If honestly been fairly bored of magic for quite some time. I want to throw rocks at things!


The only real issue I could see being a problem would be finding placed to put in one the passive tree.

Great . gj ggg

I wonder, percentage of fixed amount regen?

Bring RF back to casters? :)

I wonder how PVP would be after the introduction of new subclasses and golems. I'd prefer GGG let us have "breathtaking" battles where players get enough time to pay attention to detail, rather than "insane DPS, fast clearing speed, hit quickly or die quickly" stuff.

not excited
Golems need a revamp

I hope it's a % life regen, and not shitty flat life regen.
Also, when is GGG going to fix flat life regen? It's the most useless stat for levels 10 and up.

WHO in their right mind uses a coral amulet ?

Exactly, nobody.

Me!

:-O

...well, I guess I see your point...

I think everything you would assign to the earth element could easily be replaced with a combination of fire, cold and physical. (Earthquake? Physical. Landslide? Physical. Volcano/Eruption? Phys+Fire. Sink holes? Cold+phys.)
