@People getting 1 shotted; wtf are you doing lol? Are you rolling all damage mods on a high tier map and standing in the most obvious stuff with no flasks up expecting to tank it?

I don't understand. Like, in what world does 8-11k EHP get 1 shotted by something that isn't completely obvious? At that point it's player mistake, I'd say. Just look at all the popular streamers with their HC rips. They know they've made a mistake (when it's not some bullshit lag death).

And the worst part is you immediately jump to the conclusion that it must be the build lol

I did 1-92 with essentially no deaths other than my pathetic attempts at learning the shaper fight and the first few guardian runs while the build wasn't even finished developing. And that's coming from a softcore player at heart who just plays overly aggressive. This build was a breeze to level and I'm now reliably doing guardians and shaper (save for stupid player mistakes from time to time).

@Multi golem type question; With enough harmonies, you can run 4/1 I think. Haven't tested it myself.

no, you are right. 4+1 golems is better than 5 golems, dmg wise.

4 flame golem 1 chaos golem ( spe single target ) 1 lighning golem ( cull/blind boy ) is nuts.

All i know is, im coming from a Cyclone build that was rarely one shotted like this, and it wasnt even a CI build - pure life build. Breaches literally rape me sideways no matter how bad i try to kite and run around or stand outside the expanding circle.
On a side note, what are the positives and the negatives of stacking Primordial Eminence over Harmonies? And as ive asked earlier, is it recommended to pursuit after more socket nodes ?

I think going for more jewel nodes pigeonholes you into going either pure life, CI or a bad hybrid. But the way the jewels stack is fairly effective. Namely Might and Harmony. Eminence is just for cast speed and I was getting similar results in kill speed from Harmonies, but harmonies have damage, multigolem damage and life regen. That life regen may not look like much, but with a few harmonies and a 25k health golem, they can run reflect maps and survive some nasty guardian hits and heal right through.

Would you bother stacking Might jewels instead of harmonies? And if yes, what results should i expect ?

Stacking mights means you have to recast golems constantly, but you'll gain a LOT of damage doing so (and to recast them rapidly, you would want some harmonies as well).

It's a more active playstyle, but it can be very rewarding on boss kills. Obviously by boss kills, I mean guardians and shaper because everything else just melts instantly with the current build.
