Im playing as Necro. Shaper, Red Elder and Uber Atziri down very easy. Need try Uber Elder now.

Just want to say a huge thanks to you for making this guide!

First time trying a golem build, first time on shaper fight and I just one-shoted him :D deathless run. Even as a minion build, I'm really enjoying playing it after 90, golems are the best.

Thanks man <3 really nice job

Crafted some decent upgrade boots over bones. These gave me about 600 ES boost. The rest was a nice bonus. I think it took me 7 tries with Dense/Bound fossils.

with 2k1 hp 6k2 ES, why i feel it so paper, sometime get one shot and die

"

I don't use Necro Aegis and my minions didn't even died in a tiers 15 so i'll assume i'll never need it, i'll probably try to get mind barrier to see how much ES i can get out of it vs getting 3 max energy shield% nodes, with my current shield i should get 150 to 170 flat ES, so with % bonus applied to it it'll probably bump me close to 7K ES total after.. if it's not good enough i can still respec it ! :p

again thanks for your guide, clear speed is excellent, and so far it's styling on the Syndicate

Thanks for support ^^

Luckily respeccing in Poe is done easy and one of it's best points as tree can be customized. I'd say it might we worth it especially if you get to buy legacy shield after league ;)

"

Feel really weird saying this, but convocation has become one of my most used buttons now. I was not here when they changed it(Abyss was my last league with golems), but was so surprised when I found out it is an instant skill now.

I believe during Abyss I had it linked to cast when damage taken, but with it being instant and such a low cool down now with Invoker, I'm really loving it.

Also, I've got three specs this time instead of two. Went to fight Hydra, got in a constant close call situation where I kept almost dying for about 25 seconds straight at the start of the battle, because of my own dumb positioning, and just when I finally thought "OK, almost back to full ES" heard the Hydra die... that's so insane how fast the vanguards kill him with an extra one this league.

Edit: Wow, I've been looking for a melee splash clayshaper for animate guardian all league, after not seeing one I look it up, they got rid of that corruption it looks like, unless I'm just missing it on the wiki.

Hey :)

TVs really cook bosses nice and crisp fast. With 4th one from Vis Mortis bosses really start dying in seconds.

GGG has made some nice upgrades to summoner skills like convocation cooldown reduction and making it instant. It's pretty useful to use manually Incursions or Syndicate laboratories where you have limited time and tight spaces.

Clayshaper corruption was unfortunately removed but still be found in standard as legacy.

"

Oh wow that helmet is sick, but I really love temporal chains- something about seeing syndicates leap at me in slow motion only to die in the air xD.

Since I prefer my temporal chains helmet, would near capped temporal chains be a big enough defense boost to warrant the use of Victario's Charity + Necromatic Aegis?

I've ran it through PoB and I would go from 11.5k ES/H to 10k. I haven't died in a while and since syndicates were nerfed do you still think it'd be a good idea?

Hello :)

Thanks, the helmet costed me all my savings :P

Temp Chains is truly one of strongest skills in Poe. I remember exactly how it feel like random exile starts to leap slam you and stops mid air. You get 1-2 sec to move away before poor guy hits the ground.

Need for defenses comes down to own skill / play-style. You have very high EHP already, so only few moves in whole game should be able to 1-shot you anymore. If you know the dangerous boss moves to dodge, you should be ok with using Charity. Charges give huge clear-speed boost to minions and after Synd nerf it should be safe ;)

"

If you're leveling funded, it's far from a struggle to get this or similar builds rolling. Oddly enough, without any supporting nodes really, I've had the easiest time leveling ever (except when night's hold didn't require level 25 or when legacy facebreakers were just facebreakers)!

The basic gist is don't level as a pure summoner. Summon whatever you can, but level as if you are a 2-Handed Melee character. Use smite and holy relic. I run around one-shotting blue-packs, and minions do clean-up and blocking. Not that any blocking is needed, because holy relic keeps me topped off in health without touching my potions. Yes, even dealing with syndicates.

Hello :)

Interesting choice for leveling. Have to test that setup as there are very few leveling items for pure summoners atm.

"

nice guide!
just one question i cant seem to figure out how your getting your 4th golem or am i just blind lol

"

One default, one from clayshaper, and two from The Anima Stone(first is just given, second one you have to have three other primordial jewels equipped.)

Hi :)

Yep,
1x Clayshaper,
1x from just Anima Stone,
1x from Anima stone after 4x primordial jewels inserted and
1x Gem.

I'm having some issues with T10+ Maps. I've done a Burial Chambers T11 map and with 4 golems and 2 specters it took me around 5-6 min to kill the last boss. I've never had any issues with damage on golem builds, I used to play Elementalist on other leagues and with 4-1-1-1 everything was melting until Uber Elder. I also seem to have a dps issue with the Syndicate trash, mainily on fortress of T10+ Maps.
My char's name is _Chesu_ can you take a look and tell me what I'm doing wrong ?
It's still a new char and I don't have the currency for skin of the loyal or a nice helmet, also the gems are at around lvl 18

"

I think actually, you need to level up your gems since their damage will upgrade with higher levels

Hey :)

Minions damage comes heavily from their levels. I recommend :

Golems
- Buying Skin of the Loyal (2r2g2b costs 20-30c)
- Buying Flame Golem 21/0 corrupt (Costs 3-5c)
- Buying Empower 3 corrupt (Costs 10c)

Spectres
- Try to get access to 81 lvl maps as you Desecrate lets you summon that level corpses.
- Try to buy helmet with "burning damage support" and "minion damage support", Bone helmet has low ES and 40% increased damage is less than supports.
- Keep Spectres level up to date

When you enter any area while you have certain type of Specter up, it will automatically add that Specter type to the possible monster types that can be desecrated in the area. If you have level 50 Specters and want to raise them to level 60, you have to :
Enter level 60 area with wanted type of Specter raised
Start casting high enough level Desecrate to summon level 60 Corpses
Continue casting Desecrate until you find wanted type of corpse
(Optional) At this point drop all original Specters by removing the gem and inserting back again
Raise the Specter and it will be now level 60
Continue casting Desecrate until you have maximum number of Specters from the area

"

Since you are using phase run, instead of shield charge now. Would you still get the gem slot by Necromantic Aegis with the Attack Speed?

Hey :)

It's one of easiest slots to get access to as "Harrier" is on it's way. Attack speed and spell damage don't really matter much so you can take any route to the jewel socket.

Hello :)

Necro is definitely easiest to play and most balanced. I recommend starting with it and maybe switching later when you are familiar with the build. All 3x work well and support different play-styles but Ele & Occu can require more gearing / kiting.

Gz on shaper kill!
Golems really are great to play ;)

Hi :)

Those are very nice rolls. Boots crafting is surprisingly easy and cheap as you hit +1 Spec pretty often. I would still continue and try to get movement speed rolls as it's huge QOL upgrade for mapping and dodging Shaper smash.

with 2k1 hp 6k2 ES, why i feel it so paper, sometime get one shot and die

Hey :)

Your chars are private, so I can't check them but I can give some general advice :
- Try to stack chaos resistance. Syndicates and Incursions both have very high chaos damage and if you are not at least 0% chaos res, you might die very quickly.
- Build has about 0% armour, so physical hits are most dangerous. Try to kite around physical looking exiles / syndicates so that Temporal Chains hits them and so that they can't hit you.
- Move all the time in fights, only apply Elemental Equilibrium when it's absolutely safe. Use Phase Run constantly and run in circles around the target.

Hope this helps :)

- Buying Skin of the Loyal (2r2g2b costs 20-30c)

It is pretty cheap but 2r2g2b it's not what we need for this build.
What gem should I replace if not using a 2r1g3b ?

Also with specters I never had a problem, I summoned them in a Shaper map, the golems seem to die really fast in higher maps and that's a problem when they are the main damage source. On elementalist I never had this issue, the only time I've seen my golems die was in Uber Atziri at the 3 guys fight, and that's because I wasn't moving them out of those spells.

oh i forgot phase run :) i have all items in guide , all res 75+, chao res 0% , most of time i shield charge into big group of monster and get one shot after ES run out and killed by syndicates

Yup, MS would be nice but not at the moment. I plan to hit shield and helm first, maybe gloves later.

Any advice for helm crafting, does bound/dense fossil give a good chance at the minion mods we want? Ideally Bound/Dense/Scorched would be best for a chance at -9 resist to nearby enemies? Would -9 res to nearby enemies be more beneficial than minion damage or burning damage if a helm rolls strong ES/-9 res?

thanks
