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?

As I said, my gems are low and does not have quality yet, but golems are a lot stronger now. Still, I don't feel that I can open any kind of breach, I will die mostly certainly in the high density ones.

About your wallet, golem and es builds are very popular. If you don't like it, you will sell all gems in less than an hour.

The damage for trash mobs is good enough, but golems are a bit in following me, so the clear speed ins't that great.

Regarding that, is it possible to link convo with wrap to teleport and golems come with me?

I would say convocation is a must for indoor/ breach zone since it is hard to get a screen reset.
I use leap slam to free up the slot, unset ring are possible to get the free slot.
Edit : you can try replace rapid decay with convocation, it may be working.

Gem level is really important for mapping. you can buy corrupted 20/20 for 5c (in BSC) and level.
Level uncorrupted one in off-hand. I would buy some 15q+ gem for faster leveling to 20/20 so I can corrupt it , it cost 1~5c per gem.

Changing curses and forcing the use of fire pen.

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

equilibrum and the 2 curses reduces monster fire res to -100 or lower. Fire Pen wouldn't add anywhere near as much damage as another gem.

Many bosses have overcapped resistance, even more with +40 % elem res map mod, and curse efficiency is 60% less against them.
Elemental focus would give more raw dps against trash but it's not needed.

Just tried a tul breach map and failed to time out, didn't have enough damage for rare bosses in the walk...

Those are impossible to fail even without killing the rares, if you just keep running.

I think that the problem was the damage. Bought a 20/20 corrupted flame golem and it was ezpz to do esh.

Did also normal atziri death less (no problem at all tbh).

Is this build has good survivability?

Do you have any quote for overcap resist of boss? I check poedb it is around 45% resist for some of the boss.

Fire Pen is superior that CD/EF when it is (Hexproof/curse effect map mod) + Elemental resistance(map mod) when EE is active, I would say it depends..

We trigger EE with arc.

Anyway, you're right about the resistances. This is something I'm very familiar with since I PvP a lot. EE + curses makes fire pen kind of redundant even against bosses.

Can please someone post lvling tips?
Lvl tree pls. Can't understand what nodes should i have first.
Also it would be nice to see good lvling gems and gear.
Thanks for answer.

Level 1-34: Get to level 34 by any means necessary. I went straight up from witch start area to "Heart of flame" for more fire damage and used firestorm and flame totem. At 34 I spec out of heart of flame (6-7 points)

Level 34: Equip the golem jewels. This means you need 4 jewel slots. The one immediately above the witch start area, the two on the left and right of witch start, and the one right below Elemental Equilibrium.

You will probably also need some +30 str passives to reach the stat requirement for clayshaper.

But seriously, at level 34 equip the golem jewels and you're good to go. Tree doesn't even matter just jewel slots. So get a bunch of life nodes, maybe the scion life wheel. At level 41 when you can equip clayshaper the build is just disgustingly powerful.
