[2.5] Pentagolem Hellfire - How to play PoE while watching TV(Shaper/Guardians)

What level CWDT do you recommend for the bone offering link, and why?
I see level 9, seems kinda arbitrary.

Very arbitrary.

As long as it's not high level, it's fine really.
Crit Shockwave Totem 650k +: #1657327 / Crit VMS (1 mil DPS): #1511368 / Crit self-cast spark: #1565708
1.3 crit firestorm: #1280086 / 1.3 crit Ice Nova: #1219809 / Flame Nova (sire of shards incinerate): #1359847

Usually I go with 1/3 of my EHP. So when I have 10k ES I use a very high level CWDT. In hybrid though I don't count the ES because chaos damage bypasses it and directly goes towards life. So I have 4000 life and 3500 ES right now and I use a CWDT that triggers at around 1000-1300 damage.

General rule of thumb is, not having it trigger on every small random hit because the triggered skills have a cooldown that could make them unavailable when you really need them.
Hello! This is something I want to try in this season and I have a couple of questions as to the build.

1. Do you think Necromancer is way better than Elementalist despite of the fact that you will be having one more golem? When I played a summoner in Standard a couple of months ago I managed to cast like 5 auras but this is a new league and I doubt I could buy something helpful like level 4 Enlighten for reducing mana reserved. (can't equip a Prism Guardian anyway)

2. Which Primordial jewel do you think the best? I have now 2 x Primordial Eminence, 2 x Primordial Harmony, 1 x Primordial Might and the Anima Stone. I guess the answer would probably be either Eminence or Harmony but I really don't know if the cooldown recovery thing for golems is really worthwhile.

Any insight or advice is appreciated!

- Ever thought of discipline and drop clarity?
- 2 offensive curses seems much, perhaps enfeeble instead of ele weakness?
- What about Arc \ Fast Cast \ Lightning Warp \ ... (cul \ reduced duration) instead of the spell totem?

I need to be able to recast the golems.
2 offensive curses isn't enough. If I could add 1 more, I would.
Why cast it yourself? Drop a totem and let it do its job.

anyone running vaal haste? ive been trying it with generosity seems like a decent buff to golems particularly if u dont have the inc minion ms jewellery.
Thanks for the reply on the level of CWDT.

Next Question:

Why Greater Multiple Projectiles instead of Lesser Multiple Projectiles?

Is it because it is possible to shotgun on the explosion part of the damage, if the spread is tight?


I have started a new character based on your guide (in standard), thank you.
(I always tweak stuff a bit.)
I wont be focusing on as much ES, as I already have a nice life/dual resist/ +1 gem chest, but its armor/evasion.
Buying the two expensive jewels for the build mostly tapped me out, so I gotta work with what's in my stash.
Maybe someday I will have enough currency to get a high ES +1 gem chest with life and resists...but not in the near future.

So far, the moment I hit 41 and could go 5 golem, it is INSANE how fast stuff melts, with me just walking around, not even bothering to cast the arc totem.

I put a desecrate gem in the CWDT set up, so there are more corpses to work with, going with the lazy man's theme of your guide, instead of hand casting it.

The one thing I do hand cast, is Convocation. Too many times the golems get hung up on corners or what not, and convocation is awesome for bringing them out.

Looking ahead, i will have one gem slot i could use for a vaal gem, not sure what is best, vaal haste for offense, or vaal discipline for defense, or ?

Did you try this build in pvp? If for pvp only, would you suggest life/zerphi or CI? Tks
Hi, i have played golems and wanna do it again but seems like Empower gem is useless, i would put Faster Projectile on it 2 of 3 spells are projectile, its looks like nice boost for golems.
Empower give us golem level but look at this damage boost : 1% damage boost from +1chest and 4lvl empower
