Hello and welcome to this surprisingly strong Impale Stone golem build. This impale version maximizes the power of Dual Cold Iron Points, making it a cheap yet strong build that is quite beginner & League start friendly. Yet it can take you all the way to end game contents with ease.

Build Mechanics --- Please Read First

1. First of all, Why Stone golem? Because it is the only golem that has the physical tag, hence benefiting from Cold Iron points 2. Why pure physical? Because we use Cold Iron point, we can't deal elemental damage therefore can't proc Elemental equilibrium. So we don't bother things like hatred, Grip of the Council. Instead we focus purely on physical damage. 3. Why and how to do Minion impale? For the insane damage it offers. Nowadays most pure physical build will do impale cuz of that. To enable stone golem impale, we use Impale support (40% chance to impale), New cluster jewel skill Rotten Claws (20%), Dread banner + Generosity (30%) for a total 90% Impale chance. 4. Why Elementalist? Mostly for the Golemancer Ascendancy and the insane Golem Buff scaling. POB

- Good defense. 7-8K eHP, Fortify, Flesh and Stone, 1.3 k hp/s, almost maxed out Physical reduction. - 5-8 M sustainable Shaper DPS - Not expensive to get started (4-5 ex) or semi-min-maxed (7-8 ex). - Can do all map mods easily except for physical reflect maps. - Good League Starter. - Stone Golems are a bit dumb and slow. Clear speed suffers. - Some people hate minion builds. But hey, who cares what they think. - Rare occasions, golems may die. Sirus A8 final phase is one of those cases. - Low Chaos resist, just because I want to keep it simple and cheap Change log

Looks both "simple", effective and cool. Thanks for sharing :-)
Note that Carrion Golem also have the physical tag, so you could use those instead. Better clear, probably worse single target. Last edited by thomzon#6013 on Apr 21, 2020, 2:23:59 AM

" Damn thanks will test it out! |
|
" Why is it in POB Carrion Golem's damage looks horrible? |
|
" I have no idea, never played it. But I see several guides that uses a similar setup with Carrion Golem successfully, so maybe look there ? |
|
|
Short, easy, effective - tyvm for this guide. Starting a witch right now!

" You're welcome! If have questions let me know :) |

Hello man,
thanks for your effort but i have to say that your build is the weak version of this build https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2826004. IGN : Shaoulplz
|

" Yes I agree, cause my version is not min-maxed. However, my version is way cheaper, easier to gear and can still do all content just fine. You don't need 10+ M DPS to beat the game, let alone for a minion build. |
