did different testing, ended up with :

- elementalist class ( extra golem, elemental golem immune to elemental damage )
This ascendancy looks mandatory for endgame and Breach... My golems almost never die this way.
For a pure golem build there isnt any other valid choice.. For hybrid golem/spectre or golem/SRS , necro is maybe better though.

- using a shield to increase my ES to close to 10k.

- using 9 primordial harmonies, 1 might, 1 anima stone

- using 3 flame golem , 1 chaos golem , 1 lightning golem.
Flame golem are very good, chaos golem has decent single target and lightning golem has crap dps but I use it to cull bosses.
With 3 different types of golem and 9 harmonies, you have ~500% increased damage for the golems, before the multipliers.

Flame golem - minion damage - fire pen - spell echo - controlled destruction - GMP
Chaos Golem - minion elemental res/dmg - spell echo - minion damage
Lightning Golem - Culling Strike - Spell Echo


- I play low life bloodmagic and run :

anger and haste with generosity
discipline
maxed enfeeble / temporal chain with blasphemy
arctic armour.

Have capped res and chaos res, even with elemental weakness.

Can you explain why are you using totem + arc + culling? would i get the same effect without totem while using lightning ball + gmp + culling? I kinda want to have an active skill for pots and boxes. Also what do you think about spirit offering instead of bone? Thanks for the answer in advance.

Well, whatever the curse I would choose to use, I would keep Fire Pen.

In the first page the author says that one should keep CwDT level 9 so it doesn't pop stone golem too much. I don't get why my stone golem isn't being summoned. I'm using the 3 link setup in the clayshaper. The only "but" is that I don't have correct order for the sockets colors yet.


I'm dieing a lot, I don't have a top tier gear, but I think it is at least ok. I have 4.4k hp and 3.6 ES. My golems are kinda low now (level 13) so that might be the reason, because they don't kill fast enough...

Are you using the curses? Curses are most of your damage (along with gem levels and gem links)

I really want to reroll into this build, but all the survivability/golems die complaints i saw in the replies scares me.
I mean i dont buy currency like most of the people in this game do, exalts doesnt come by easy, and so i feel very defensive about my wallet. And those gems aint cheap either.

What should i do? Is it safe to follow this thread?
