Fleshcrafter has it's issues as it doesn't give any stats as a chest and especially Golem tankyness comes from the high life regen, which turns off when you convert life into ES.

It's definitely an option to keep in mind, but I fear it makes minions far too squishy while the pure phys/impale still has none of these downsides

For golem builds it could perhaps work, no idea but if e.g you do a SO build with conversion to cold it's completely useless and you eventually definitely need the +1 spectre on it to comfortable do certain end game content. With current changes of the massive EE nerf i probably can't even do comfortably t16's unless i get the extra Spectre which is really expensive if you want a decent chest, let alone do enough damage to do bosses.

it doesn't convert all hp or even half hp to es, only 2% per 1% of chaos res
golems will be resurrected if they die (in case of elementalist)

there are necromancers with 8k+ hp using this chest on poe.ninja. mostly skeleton mages builds. but still it's possible to build tanky char with it.

So i have a few points about aura stackers.

First of all, yes with mirrors on mirrors of investment they can and will be way too strong for a solo build, BUT theres a few things that dont get said i think.
First of all, Party play, the main reason that was in that manifesto. yes if you have a 6 man party and one player dedicates all his effort to the auras that give dmg and survivability then that player can do it better than all the players that wouldve done partial work otherwise, thats definetly true. But what you dont take into account is the fact that first of all theres only a small percentage that even plays in 6 man parties at the start of the league and 2nd the monster health scales up with each player, which makes it harder to kill monsters so you need more dmg.
the other thing is, if you have 40 Million DPS (sounds so much back in the day) which is around the dps of your regular min maxed aura stacker. The price for that is mirrors and mirrors on end. you can get the same ammount for cheaper with a few hundred ex, maybe 2-3 mirrors. not the 10-20-50 mirrors a aura stacker consumes. so why would you remove one of the largest currency sinks in the game, that a lot of players enjoy, (not nearly as much as when you had the herald nodes not fixed) These players spend days and weeks trying to perfect that character while others already deal 3 times their dmg. i prolly cant really get my point across, since my arguments might be a bit chopped off. im kinda sick right now so ill leave it at that.
