What do you think of flame dash this league btw?

It killed me a few times because it was locked on a mob (2 death from the first maze of Sirus, dashed on him => instadeath because this one is quite quick)

I'm really thinking of switching to a physical movement skill that can proc confluxes.

Isnt empower 4 better in main links? I mean its dmg AND hp for golems... or not worth?

Check the guide's PoB, lv 4 empower is worse than any other gem we could use. And it's needlessly expensive.

Did awakener 8 Sirius yesterday and my golems were dieing to I think the corrupted blood beam. Any idea's to get them tankier? I think the only thing im missing is quality on my golems for the 20% minion life and another level to get my last harmony slotted, but will those two things make the difference for them not to get wrecked on Sirius? I have a few ideas on how to get more tankiness for my minions but I just wanted to see what you guys had to say before I make changes to the build.

Your golems are immune to elemental damage, so the only way they'd die is to physical. Seeing as sirus' attacks do 1/2 phys they could die if you have 0 eminence jewels and don't use convocation at all.

I'll upload a video of A8 awakener when I get the chance. My utility golems would sometimes die in these fights, but that's mostly because I don't have them linked to minion life. Luckily it's easy to resummon them as you have the available mana to do so.

Just to make sure I understand optimal Stone Golem attack speed:

On PoB, select Stone Golem as main skill and choose slam as its attack. PoB will show the SG's attack/cast rate, as well as its skill cooldown. As long as 1 divided by attack/cast rate multiplied by 3 (or 4 if using awakened multistrike) is ever so slightly greater than the skill cooldown, then the attack speed is optimal.

Is my understand correct?

Yup exactly, that's a better way of wording it than what I put in the guide. Mind if I quote you for guide?

That seems a lot different. He's scaling elemental damage with triad gloves, and he's using skitter bots with The Primordial Chain, which is no longer possible. His damage is also about 1/4 this version, but gets 193% from tree instead of our 164%. His damage mitigation is also completely different, relying on dodge+vaal grace instead of molten shell+armour.

We can achieve higher %life (204%) and higher %damage simply by dropping the third cluster jewel and taking all the life nodes we missed. It drops our damage from 2.0 -> 1.8, but provides us with a lot more life.

Level 95 Passive Tree (2 Clusters) - more life less damage

^ I think that might be more useful to a lot of players not accustom to using molten shell + vaal molten shell in tandem.
