Currently running 5 golems and 3x SO + Pale Seraphim. Should i go for 4x SO or?


Go x3 SOs and x1 Primal Crushclaw.

Seraphim only has a 15% dmg increase debuff.
Crushclaw has a 50% dmg increase debuff apparently.

Thx, just have read it few posts above.
My Build Update:

So we're a little more than 1 week into the league and I wanted to write a little about my findings and progress.

Biggest things I've acquired lately is implementing an Animate Guardian into the build and buying my Trigger Wand. This is my current gear:
Spoiler



Here's a video of how my build plays:
Video

I would say that I*m somewhere in the medium budget range right now.
I've got some higher end stuff like my wand but I'm still missing things like clusters which I don't prioritize alot. I also decided to buy alot of Awakened Gems early because they were very cheap early on and take years to level up.

I decided to try running an Explodey Animate Guardian to help with clearspeed.
It actually feels incredible.
My AG is running:
- Kingmaker (Weapon)
- Gravebind (Gloves)
- Inpulsa (Chest)
- Random Resist Helm
- Victario's Flight (boots)

Might be hard to see in my videos how much it helps with the clear since SOs and Phantasms already are clearing very well, but it's very noticeable when you dash and convocate into a large pack of mosnters and everything instantly is deleted as you see electricity zapping everywhere.

I've also managed to get 100% stun immunity from my Corrupted Jewels (25% per Jewel) and Corrupted Blood immunity on one of my Emminences aswell.
This leads me to my next point, my flasks:

This isn't my final flask setup but I'm currently running:
Spoiler



With my Pantheons I'm getting Freeze immunity, 60% ignite reduction and my Onslaught Flask gives -60% shock effect. Basically I've got Ailments coverd somewhat. My only problem right now is Chaos damage, and especially Poisons.
Unfortunately Chaos resist is too hard to get right now and I'll only consider it for very high budgets when involving something like a Magebane unfortunately.

Spectre update:
I'm thinking about changing the spectre setup and suggest everyone try running with x3 Syndicate Operatives and x1 Primal Crushclaw.

After doing some digging I found that the Primal Crushclaw apparently has an ability which is an AoE screech he casts that affects everyone around him.
This screech places a debuff on monsters that increases cold damage taken by a MASSIVE 50%. So we're basically gonna run him as a support to boost all other minions.

3 Operatives is more than enough to keep our Phantasm army up majority of the time. And together with the 11 phantasms, 3 operatives is also enough to clear everything.

So if you haven't already, replace one SO with a Primal Crushclaw(Crab) and try running it. Should help with single target alot.
This spectre is also incredibly tanky and can't really die. When swapping out GMP the crab is also fully linked.

Gonna give him a try with my current gear on my next Conquerer rotation to assess what to do.

Then again, I don't want the answer to killing Sirus to be: Get more dps.
Honestly, but I think Indomitable Army will be mandatory for Sirus.
I always used to run Bone Armour and stuff in the past so my minions were alot tankier too. Not sure how it'll be once we get some clusters going. The clusters provide alot of minion HP.

I had two tries on Sirus A8, I bricked the first due to me being rusty on it, the other went pretty smoothly. One Zombie died (even before last phase, maybe AI went dumbo and walked in to atomizer thing), rest survived. I do have Clusters though, so idk how big these play a part. They tanked like 2 Die!-Beams as far as I saw.

Gonna try out the Primal Crushclaw tomorrow!
Deadandlivin, Thanks a lot for the ideas you shared.

Right now I am at t14 maps and the build works great. Got pretty much all gear for the low budget version. Everything works great, but got several questions:

0. What are the directions of next upgrades? What has the highest priority?
1. I tried to ditch Lifetap and just run a low level frostbite to make sure I get mana. Is it worth a shot or not really?
2. How should I get the crabby specter? For some reason I can't highlight corpses in Harvest and in the Harvest only
3. What is the best blue support gem for Golems if I have Minion Damage as the helm mod. Or there is no and I should just recolor it?
How hard is it to get this Primal Crushclaw? It only shows up on Sacred Groves?

I watch your video. Looking good! Have you thought about rebuilding in standard so you can see what the high budget? (but not mirror budget 9L helmet)

I switched to phys/impale for all my builds so I'm really interested in what you've done with CC!

What is everyone's ideal Spectre gem setup? Also, what would be a viable Lord's keystone? EE and Acrobatics still?

Spectre
Awakened Minion Damage
Divergent Hypo
Awakened Cold Penetration
Summon Phantasm
Awakened Ele Damage with Attacks or Awakened Added Cold Damage?

I can't afford Awakened GMP
