Carrion golem damage feels very close to ice golem damage. The current POB numbers are definitely wrong, so it's hard to say for sure right now.

Hopefully they are equal since the carrion golem has better aoe and all of it's abilities scale from melee damage while the ranged one from the ice golem doesn't. The bone spikes look cool too.

To be fair, ranged attack of the ice golem isn't an argument, because due to its AI it will not use it, unless it's in very specific range, and cyclone on cooldown, which with cooldown of 1.4 sec not gonna happen almost ever.

Also those bone spikes actually a bad thing for a clear. While ice golem cycloning moving in the front attacking at the same time, bone spikes make carrion golem to stop in the place. If it will start attack when last enemy already dying and you start to run forward, that pause will make it slightly late to the next point. Leap slam is good though.

But of course it is just from watching 1 video, until i play it yourself, it doesn't really mean much.
But still, want to ask. Why using concentrated effect as last link? It's not gonna apply to default combo attack, and i don't think that it spam cascade spikes indefinitely. And even that bone spike move will be smaller in radius, isn't it better to use something else as damage link?

It's possible that my links are not ideal. Concentrated effect should buff both the leap slap and bone spikes, the two main abilities. Whatever the CD of bone spikes is, it's low enough so that the golem uses it every attack.

I feel like I'm struggling majorly with this build. It's my first minion build, and I feel like I'm just caught between two builds at the moment. I don't know how people already have all their primordials and primordial chain, I'm LVL 76 and just barely was able to afford two Eminence and a Tabula after doing some resist balancing. I know some of my gear isn't the best, but I feel like I have to save everything to get the jewels (just getting anima stone is going to cost like ~110c). Any tips/suggestions would greatly be appreciated. Profile should be public.

I'll start with the sad facts first. That league is freaking expensive!
Primordial chain that last league was couple of chaos (or even 1 alch, don't remember), now cost freaking exalt. Looking at my other build, their astramentis also cost the fortune, for some reason.
Jewels also, well... they always kinda costly, but not on that level costly. Atleast we don't need the most expensive "might" anymore, and just using feeding frenzy in gem-link, but anima stone and 8 harmonies gonna strip from you everything you have.
So, just a small advice - don't rush it. Slow and steady collect currency and buy all of it one by one. Luckily, our ascendancy is quite universal, with just dual clayshapers and skilltree we can have 6 golems, that already grant us 120% increase damage if you are using some other skill, or 120% golem damage making golems not really that bad. Buffs from golems also would be boosted for atleast 370%, so flame golem will grant you "94% increased damage", instead of just 20%. Etc etc. As long as elementalist have golems, it can do anything.
Just mention though - don't even think about ice golems until you have your shit together - use flame golems with "spell echo + gmp".

Ok, now i covered basics, lets look at your gear.
- You shouldn't have allocated necromantic aegis, when your shield still not something that minions can appreciate.
Might be better to just go with dualwielding clayshapers for now, that shield is absolutely useless right now. With necromantic aegis allocated, you are not even gonna have resistance from it.
- As i already said - scrap ice golems for a moment, and use flame golems.
- why do you have conductivity curse? Well, change it to elemental weakness or flammability when you are using flame golems. Will change into vulnerability when return to ice golems.
- elemental damage with attack skills is useless. It only applies to your attacks, that build use spells. And minions are separated completely. So your first ring only usefull mod is life that you crafted, might as well have blue ring with more health, it would be better.

For now, that's all, i guess.

With the buffs to minion accuracy I've dropped command of the pit gloves and gone with rare gloves + 20% minion damage craft.

I've also dropped warbanner and switched to precision.

Anyone messing with elemental army support? I've got it linked to my stone golem to apply -10% resist which according to the description should be applied to cold damage taken.

Ok, I'll take those suggestions. What should I put in Tabula? Flame golems? And what should balance be? 3 flame, chaos, lightning, and stone?
