Can you guys share your findings for the new support gems?

Is running melee splash recommended for clear?

Ruthless, Multistrike, DMG on full life, Empower?

iam a bit confused about the best setup.

thanks in advance and good loot to you all.

I am not using phase acrobatics, I'm not sure if it would be better to try and stack evasion of armor with phase acrobatics right now. In that situation Immortal Call might be the better choice just for a little extra damage reduction.
That being said, if you went as deep into armor as you reasonably can with Phase Acrobatics, I think you could still pull off close to 4k VMS and 1-1.5k MS shields, which is non-negligible.

I currently have VMS linked with increased duration, but I don't think it's needed if you're good with timing it. You also get a much shorter soul gain prevention period without it. VMS is a base of 9, and lasts around 16seconds with my current level increased duration. MS has only a 3 second duration, so it's more important to not use it mindlessly. VMS lasts long enough that you can use it far in advance when you know you're going into a bad situation, like a Betrayal or Legion encounter.

I do want to mention that I'm at a point where I'm not only socket starved, but keybind starved. My version of this build is complicated and far removed from a one-button build. I may end up using one, maybe two Unset rings just to free up some slots, and maybe try to stick convocation on a CWDT link. I prefer managing it myself, but I'm just out of buttons at this point.

can someone upload a video of a t15+ legion? i gave up on the build now because i cant possibly imagine that this build is able to remotely clear it.

now, my gear isnt toptier minmaxed yet, still missing empower 4 but im honestly not even close to clear legions.

rerolled CoC assassin and got the 150 kills achievement in the second map already.

golems are my favorite build and i'd love to keep playing it but i also dont wanna miss out on the league mechanic.

i'd be really happy if someone can show that it is indeed possible with the right set up and min maxed gear to be able to clear legions.

Well, I started doing T16, and holy crap the Legion Monoliths are seriously overtuned.

Was on a Hydra map with very easy map mod. Monolith spawned a rare archer mob with "Powerful Crits", and that thing instant gibbed me right away. Went in again and got one shotted off screen. Went in the third time and had to kite behind this one wall to finally killed it.

I find it ridiculous and ironic that I lost two portals to a Legion rare, while Hydra melted within 6-8 seconds.

Current set up has me at 4669 HP with 1658 mana MoM and 342 ES. Also running defensive Stone and Flesh.

This feels especially awful because I feel that I can faceroll all of t15-16 VERY easily outside of Legion encounters.
