3.7 In-Depth Ice Golems Guide - Snowybois - On Hiatus for 3.8
Enjoying this build so far, farming around tier 5 maps and it's a breeze, trying to get higher ones to drop, I have about 45 chaos saved up, I'm not sure what I should prioritize for increasing damage. If anyone wants to take a look at my gear and see what would make the most different I'd appreciate it.

Can you make your account profile public and i'll import you into PoB and take a look?

If damage is an issue, you can throw a flame golem setup in a Tabula and they'll carry until high red maps. I personally feel like flame golems outperform ice golems without the right gem levels and gear, but they are a little more tricky to use - you have to manually position them with convocation to maximize their DPS.
Side note, according to patch notes +minion levels hasn't been working and will be fixed in 3.7.1. This would explain why I can't keep my utility minions alive during uber elder. They are also nerfing the vaal encounter, hopefully enough that they won't instantly wipe out all of your golems and leave you vulnerable. |

hey utopian, i saw you updated your OP. can you actually reliable (almost) full clear t15/16 legions now? that would be amazing, would be cool if u can upload a vid!
also, did u come to a conclusion in Bow vs clayshaper/victario set up? |

" Sure I'll try to upload a vid this weekend when I can get obs working and configured again. Regarding Clayshaper vs Bow both are completely viable. Clayshaper with MoM/Phase acro feels the safest and once you have your empower 4 should have no problem hitting the damage thresholds you need to clear maps. Reserve Hatred + Precision + Banner and still have a good amount of mana shield available. Under-level the precision as needed just work to cap. Vic's Influence + Bow/Maloney's really lets you hit those super high damage numbers faster. The frenzy/maim on hit setup is cute but the end-game goal is going to be corrupting a +1 curse neck and rain of arrows/coh with it |

Not snowyboi related but I have been wondering how well flame golems would work with the new pledge of hands.

Profile should be public now Utopian, Thanks.

You can drop melee splash from you 6l for more damage, try to buy a 21/0 ice golem gem, it's a huge gain over x/20. Other than that work on getting the rest of your Harmonies, damage will come.

Cool, I got 21/0 golem and empower instead of melee splash, will work on leveling to get more jewel slots, I'm not sure what to do about a chest, is skin of the loyal still the way to go?

Latest patch seems to have broken stone golem aura scaling as well as a few other things. Going to take a break and level a chieftain while they get that sorted.
