Questions:
1. are you saying to drop my golems completely and dont use them?
2. should i get lvl21 spectre gem and ignore the 20% qual?
Edit: This helm seems great for the above http://prntscr.com/slyx4c

1. if you have space for it, and you do because it is in your shield then yes keep using 1 golem, that golem should always be Carrion if you are a Necromancer. I guess Chaos golem is good for the 5% phys mitigation, but they don't live long and need resummoning constantly, that's why I dislike them.

2. I am not telling you to buy anything, only making suggestions.
If you have the money and want 4 specters, you need a +2 minion helm.
If I buy a gem, I ONLY by 20% quality or better. Exceptions would be enlighten, enhance or empower, quality doesn't matter once they are max.

Also, you said you prefer teleport to movement.
Flame dash does not proc fortify.
Shield charge is an attack and a very fast one at that, and it grants fortify (when supported) on hit. Even though my animate guardian provides fortify aura, I am often not in it. Yes I hated giving up flame dash too... until I got used to shield charge, now I won't go back.

EDIT: I would buy that helm, omg that is nice :)

Only have a few exalt, I definitely want all of the above. Sadly I waited too long and don't see the helm anymore, 21 20% raise spectre will be 1-1.5 exalts too so rough..

What spectres do you guys use? I read about baranite thaumaturges but I can't figure out where they spawn.

Hey Furor_Dei!

I don't know where they spawn either. https://poedb.tw/us/mon.php?n=Baranite+Thaumaturge

I rotate based on mood. I'll use all Stygian Silverbacks (I find they don't proc Charges enough with just one as a spectre), Kitava's Heralds, or Undying Evangelists (for their Proximity Shield).

Thanks! I found them in Baran The Crusader maps, they do a ton of damage it looks like. I might switch to the shield guys because I need some more defense. How big is the shield?

Sorry for so many posts but I am end-game tweaking right now. Should I use a herald of ice instead of flash and stone since I am using maim support on zombies now?

edit: i thought herald of ice was an aura, and i changed my sockets and bought one but I guess it isn't...

...EDIT: Unholy might, yes it is OP, BUT SO IS BRUTALITY! Soooo much so it is worth giving up unholy might. SPOILER: Skeletons do get unholy might and they don't have Brutality AND they hit like zombies, only faster :) You really have to BELIEVE in your phantasms... THEY ARE NASTY!
One thing to look at here, if you are not supporting chaos damage it is just damage, there is no damage over time, the greatest gift of chaos.
Brutality does 30% MORE damage than maim ALL THE TIME! It is just the best...

next question: if i find a helm with "socketed gems are support by level x minion damage", does it cancel out the socketed minion damage gem or do they stack?

It does not stack and mod takes precedence over sockets.

But keep in mind even a "socketed gems are support by level 1 minion damage" is a nice damage boost as you can add another support gem.

I hope Wrecker is treating you girls okay this league. Last 2 leagues he was always yelling at me. I am still dealing with the emotional trauma of it all. Therapy is helping though.

Zombie on!

The Baranite Thaumaturges are pretty awesome. Big laser + aoe mines, I will likely replace the shield guy I was testing with. I find myself never in the shield.
