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

Hey Exile !

I tough i would share my progression with you guys !

It's going pretty good at the moment, i'm working on the atlas currently T12 and up and it's melting...

Yesterday i ran a test and did The forge of the Phoenix, it was pretty easy deathless, but i'M lacking the '' support by a minion life gem'' in the helmet, so Golem died i had to re-summun. But overall it's been smooth…

So guardian won't be a problem, i'm feeling even tough it's not complete, it'a already Shaper ready !


I have alot of work to do on the gear, but it's on the way now.

Things i do for Quality of life :

1- In my Chest since i do not have an Empower at least 3 here is the link
Ice Golem- Brutality - Melee Splash - Minion Damage - Multistrike - Melee Phy
( Note that i have the +1 Maim on chest)
As soon i will have a + 3 empowered i will keep only either Melee Splash or Brutality depending of the situation

2- Since commander of the pit are not quite here yet, i use rare one so it give me some socket. Personnaly i like using convocation but it's me.
3- I use shield charge + fortify, cause i like the movement speed and smoothness it give me + the resist of Fortify., i keep Phase run for when i'm stuck in tight corner.
4- At this moment i still have Vaal Blade Vortex socketed cause i used it for leveling purpose, but it will be changed for either Vaal Haste (damage) or Vaal Grace ( toughness)

5- I use the Stygian Vise with a abyss jewel with life and Mana since in MoM and the % chance to taunt on hit.

So yeah…. So far so good !

@PyredQC

Your gear is looking solid good work!


Run Minion Life in you hat instead of Empower until you get it leveled up and your golems will die less.

Do you find that you miss flame dash? I used to run fortify+shield charge but it got me killed more than i'd care to admit because I play like an idiot :)


Can you do the mana ring enchant or did you buy it that way?

The Golem only died against Phoenix, so it's not a problem really for now ;)

I hateeeeeeeeee Flame Dash … No wait , i HATEEEE flame dash lolll so i guess i need to dodge a bit more, but Shield Charge is the way to go for me…

I can enchant the ring yes if your talking about this one


In game name : Mayrasha, if you need it !

Yeah gear is ok, on the contraire of people, if you t=look carefully, you will find some gear that people put up to sale without knowing it's actually good for us…
The chest maim cost me 1 EX ( wich is low cost for now because it will be way more expensive later on, this weekend the exalt worth like 80 Chaos… later on the league it will be way way way more expensive )
The + 2 minion bone helmet cost me 5 chaos lol

Zealotry adds spell damage and spell critical. Won't do anything for us. Maybe if we were doing flame golems...

The only thing it would give is a very reliable source of consecrated ground. Enemies standing on Conc ground take increased damage but i'm doubtful it's worth the reserve.


For Flame Golems it would definitely be worth giving a look.

I've spent the last 5 levels playing with 5 ice golems because I got so used to using 2-hander mauls.

@Mastodonic Did you see that we can make Mauls now similar to this?
