An Idea for a gem to summon golems on death.
" The problem for me is that resummoning golems are so inconvenient that its absolutely unusable for builds outside of elementalist. Thats what I d like to see get fixed. If we can get spectres in wisp form we can get resummoning golems as well. Trust your mind and strengthen your abilities!

" But when I say the downside it also comes with the downside of socket pressure. Not every build has the ability to afford 2 sockets for 1 golem buff, I think thats enough of a penalty on top of the reduced minion life I mentioned before. I think that downside is just too reductionist. At that point, sacrificing sockets for such a minimal buff would be meaningless. Not effective enough to use. I think 2 sockets as a cost for the oppurtunity to have this golem buff is enough for such a buff. Elementalist gets 10000 golems with very small socket pressure and rest of the builds just cant even use any. It is like that meme with the rich sucking down the whole pipe and poor having the droplets from the same pipe. I would like to see the poor get a valve as an option. What if we had trans version of golem gems, with maybe some reduced effect but they resummon themselves upon death with 4 second delay? What would you say?

this could have been atleast 1 "usefull" new exceptional gem
killing the old gems was a really bad choice withotu "good" replacements my favorite build losr 25%ish dmg with no other upside since non of the new gems are of any use (lost +1 gem level and 2x 5% more dmg from other gems) dot skills are becoming worse and worse every league they are still strong enough when fully geared to take down uber bosses,but it starts becoming really painfull compared to other skills |

No need penalties for re-summoning golems, you already waste 1 gem slot for it. In case they make that gem.
Full time standard player. Also full timer PoE supporter, from where I have started to play it. Last edited by withouttaboo#5622 on Apr 29, 2026, 3:47:07 AM

" Yep, we dont even need the downside, a simple socket pressure for summoning a golem is enough of a punishment. Trust your mind and strengthen your abilities!

I reckon if were at the point of complaining about this GGG may decide just to remove golem buffs all together then water down more minion archetypes like they did with slam totems.

Honestly Golems feel like they could be reworked at this point, the buffs are nice to have but the socket pressure is a lot if you want one that doesn't fall over the second it sees a blue pack. I like the idea of at least having a way to reliably resummon them, might make me actually utilize them again. Imo their buffs felt impactful when they were added to the game but at this point they could use another look, pretty minor buff for giving up gem slots that have consistently seen more pressure since the addition of golems to the game.

" Golems been in the game as long as I remember; they make sense as a minion archetype compared to melee totems being a thing. That was ridiculous as a concept, they were on the right to remove that. Trust your mind and strengthen your abilities!
