DMG went from 13,2 to 3,9 mil. That's a 70% drop. The golems are no longer viable. I think the golems should be ditched completely. Maybe take the Heart of Destruction ascendancy, switch out the amulet, all the primordial items. There's a lot to be reworked if this build has a chance to survive. I hope it can be done.

Went from 30mil to 12mil after updating pob. Went down to 7,5 mil after converting to new tree (dunno if that is correct atm).

I’d have to double check but I think I had upwards of 35m DPS last season. I’m playing the build again and yes still using 9 golems, because before I was doing T19s delirium still insta-killing everything including bosses, but still getting 1-shot periodically. I geared myself more on the tanks side as well (e.g. max all resist implicit on amulet instead of 20% more wrath effect). I would have gladly traded more damage for more defense up to maybe a 1:5 ratio.

Currently in yellow maps with day 2-3 gear. I don’t even have most of my key jewels yet. The damage still feels good all things considered. I’m already back at almost full flask capacity clearing speeds. I did sacrifice 3 points into 30% more flask recovery rate (Highly recommend) and manaregeneration the likes of which completely eliminates mana issues when combined with enduring mana flask. I’m confident with gear like I had + a few double corrupted rings and cannot be chilled/frozen boots for total ailment immunity the hard way, I’ll be able to do what I did before with relatively little difference. I don’t know what people are smoking when they think they’re going to waltz into the endgame with equivalent damage opting out of the primordial defenses. It’s a death sentence.

Wats the reason doing 9 golems now instead of 5. Literally the only benefit you get is 25% increased effect of buffs per golem from elemancer and some extra safety in case they die. And increased buff effect from the golems are mostly garbage. Like literally the only thing that justified going into 9 golems was the 200% damage increase that's nwo gone.

I'm thinking of going back to BA but spending onto primordial jewels feels like a waste now. Just the amulet will get you to 7 golems. But maybe i'll skip elemancer completely because it feels like a complete garbage passive now.

Mastermind of discord looks a lot more appealing and maybe even going into heart of destruction (big boss dps boost) or even shaper of storms (free shocks).

all things considered... Could you show a yellow map video on the clear speed? Are you still clearing the entire screen and possibly even off screen?

Defense/Recovery. Liege May have been gutted in terms of the max golem build, but Elemancer wasn’t. It’s still 25% extra golem buff effect per summoned golem. That may seem small compared to last league, but it’s still huge in its own right, particularly for defensive purposes. It’ll make a big difference on red maps with -60% life recovery in conjunction with blood rage. Even a tiny bit more physical damage reduction speaks volumes. Also helps close the gap on hit becoming hit cap.

I may play around with dropping the primordial jewels though, especially if I can find a convenient way to get health regen on my golems (maybe renewal)? I really don’t like the idea of having to become self conscious of which golem buffs I’m missing at any given moment while mapping. We’ll see.
