3.7 In-Depth Ice Golems Guide - Snowybois - On Hiatus for 3.8

I am sorry that I added you on my friend list today. I didn't see your comment on this guide. I removed you on my friend list so plz forgive me and just decline it.

Got some questions.

1. I am wondering how war banner is good, and is it batter than haste aura?
On pob, my ice golem has about 337 k with war banner, and 329 k with haste aura. To get the number 337 k (with war banner), do I need to recast the banner (so the banner is placed on the ground)? or just leave it as it reserved mana?

2. I am using ice golem with minion damage - multistrike - melee physical damage - empower - and maim. but if I replace maim to conc effect I will have a bit higher dps. so the question is that the smaller aoe (ice golem's cyclone) will affect bossing and mapping even though we summon 6 ice golems??

3. is swapping maim or any other gems to melee splash on Ice golem affecting mapping?? or I don't need to swap them?


Thank you so much for the guide, I am really enjoying this build.

Don't sweat it, I'm mostly done with the league now so feel free to hit me up in game if you see me. Not online often though due to work keeping me busy.

1. War Banner's more multiplier to phys damage taken is better than haste, additionally it reserves significantly less mana. But if you like Haste and can fit in more reservations feel free to run them both.

2. Conc Effect doesn't help with your auto-attacks where-as Maim does, stick with Maim unless using skin of the Loyal and unable to change 2 blue sockets

3. I enjoy Melee Splash while mapping swapping to Maim when doing Shaper/Uber Elder but once your dps is high enough you don't need to swap back/forth and it's hard to even notice that you're not running melee splash.

Well i made it bois, if any1 is interested to play with it ,since im going afk for a week im wiling to sell for 30ex.

Nice craft,
but like i said to OP when we are talking IG, we dont need more DPS, all we need is Survivability, Phase Run on 3 frenzy is alot
have you a PASTBIN with this variant (possible tree and itemisation), because we lost alot of potental Survivability ? :D

Actually i am Running Grizone (MoM one), with some adaptation and i cant take alot of hits even on t15 t16 random vaal maps, and i am not even running enfeeble.

This is pastebin of my current golem elementalist (level 94) -> https://pastebin.com/kQ4Y0n4N
It has my gear and a slightly modified tree (I switched a couple of minion damage nodes for player life) -> none of the gear is really top tier and the belt is pretty awful compared to a life recovery rate elder belt.

I've also added the GG Maul as a weapon option, instead of my 2 hander which lacks the multi-craft (it's about a 20% damage boost).

The tree has:
- 201% increased life on the tree but no MoM (with my gear it is 7k life)
- acro / phase acro
- no fortify
- no shield charge (limited to 3 flame dashes to move quickly)
- no frenzy charges for extended phase run

Gearing choices:
- Kaom's Heart -> really socket starved
- curse on hit enfeeble
- aspect of the avian -> aspect of the spider would be better (if you have a purity aura corruption on your primordial chain, you could also run this instead)

Consider this tree indicative of what you can do without being wedded to necromantic aegis, there's potentially a better way to path this without losing out on too much. The current tree developed from me wanting phase acro and the minion nodes near templar while saving up for the golem jewels and I've not needed to think about re-specing for any content so far (can do uber elder deathless).

The current tree still has another jewel node to grab near Blood Drinker. Arcane Chemistry is also on the path for another 12% life for 3 nodes if you want to grab it to reach 213% life.

Your setup seems very optmised for MoM, did you got one shot on some fortification ?
Cause i am stacking currency to optmise My mom, yours seems to be pretty decent version one :)

During leveling syndicate bossses oneshotted me a few times before the nerf. Not a problem anymore.

Only non-boss mechanics that can oneshot me are stupid delve monsters on 600+ depth, ripped couple times just to get there for the challenge.

Got 100 with this build recently, currently at 8.5k eHP.
Can't get more without some good HP/mana rolls on chest and helmet, but better ones look simply non-existant, been monitoring poe.trade for weeks.
Don't know how hard is it to craft damn things, always hated crafting in this game.

Also, my 2nd lvl 100 without lab enchant, that thing just feels too stupid and random to waste your time for, don't know what they were thinking about making it go live like that.

..dont know how rare this is, but that's a nice base for some crafting :)

Btw nice build and guide! I've been enjoying it a lot. Keep it up!

create an imprint with beastcrafting, regal and annul - if you remove what you regal it's GG, if not redo the process until you do. It's very, very rare to get this combination.

Also would have recommended quality before crafting, maybe get hillock in transportation to get 28 quality and then craft +18 before you multimod it later

Thanks for the build guide.

I cleared Uber Elder for the first time with this guy.

Can this build do Uber Atziri? I have tried but the second boss room destroys my golems and then the split phase on Atziri does the same. How to you get past these hurdles?

Thanks in advance

I've personally settled on going for a bit of aura nodes and some reservation to be able to run hatred, war banner, purity of elements and vitality. Mainly because I bought this watcher's eye:

(not yet divined)

My thought is that I want to be able to mitigate as large hits as possible and then regen it up quickly. So I'll also be investing in a taste of hate like Yakoob suggested. I've not decided yet if I am dropping acrobatics or not, though, but I will probably skip it since I want to get the chaos res/life nodes for even more chaos resist

I was totally going to go with Purity of Elements + Vitality setup in my original idea of my build.
Was gonna go Life Recovery Vitality + 2x Phys Taken as Element Purity of Elements watcher. Idealy 12% phys to cold + 12% phys to lightning since we r immune to those ailments. Its's so much phys reduction :o That huge boost to chaos res sounds nice aswell tho.
Stone and chaos golems should also get a lot tankier with those crazy resists the aura offers.
Let me know how it feels to play with Pur of Ele. I might wanna test it out for myself afterall ;)

edit: Oh! I just saw your Elder boots with socketed gems supported by inc duration. Thats freaking awesome dude!

Where does it say that we are immune to cold and lightning? Could you elaborate?
