Hello

Why do you use Elemental Equilibrium ? As much as i can see fire damage is the only damage type in use aside from Winter Orb. And Winter Orb does not hit fast / more mobs as the golems / Spectres. So iam not sure why it is in use - iam missing something ?

Thanks a lot - awesome build :)

I believe minion damage does not trigger EE so it's only based on what damage type you deal yourself. I agree its a bit clunky but it's mostly useful for bosses anyways, and it will last 5 sec per apply. You can use any skill that deals lightning or cold damage though and use cast on hit/cast while channel and get the same result. I see some people on here using Arc instead.

Ohh..

I did have a look again and yes the description of EE says "Enemies you hit with.."

So yes this does make sense, missed that detail :)

Thanks a lot.

Should I get a primordial might for aggressive golems? The POB doesn't seem to have one unless I'm missing something.

You missed it, it's under ITEM > Required Gear/ My gear sections. But yes, it's an important part of a DPS golem-centered build. An alternative while low currency or SSF is using Feeding Frenzy gem as a linked support gem but it'll lower DPS comparatively.

Hello :)

Yep, minions don't cause Elemental Equilibrium to trigger. Necromanders get almost permanent -50% resistance to all enemies they hit with the skill. It's one of the most important tools for elemental damage based summoner.

Hey :)

Build should have Might in every final PoB setup. In leveling section it's not used as it's very expensive during league start, and build uses more Zombies and Specters as generic summoner to collect currency and to reach high tier maps.

As "savvysavage" mentioned, Feeding Frenzy is great alternative while you don't have Might yet. You can replace for example Combustion with it until you get Might ;)

Well I have no money left, and not even a level three empower yet, but this is the fastest I got my +2 chest in a league before.

Still using 1C gloves, boots, and rings too LOL.

Guy was actually really cool about it, he had it up for 12EX as asking price. I said I think I can get between 10EX and 11EX if I convert everything. He said sure but would prefer 11EX. Ended up with 11 pure and prob about half an exalt in random fuses, jews, chaos, and a divine. He was the lowest on the market by far, other two were at 20EX and 30EX and he didn't have to come down more, but he did.

I've noticed how much more currency I make by not being set in my ways on pricing like I used to be. So many times I would end a league with an item I could have made 100C on, but refused to take 10C less for it, so it just sits forever in standard now.

Anywho sorry for rambling, just finishing drinking my preworkout before the gym and was happy about getting my +2 chest for golems.

Anyone killed the Awakener with this build?

We need more single target this league so would replacing GMP with a blue supp gem or new barrage supp gem be better?

You can try it, but i think single target is ok for now. Im at t13-14 maps and i kill everyting easy. Yeah some metas take longer. I even kill a exile at 4 stones, not really hard + elder guardian on t14 map. I was necro at first, but i change to elementalist and yeah, looks like elementalist have better damage.

Hello :)

Gz on getting the +2 Sotl so early in the league! o_0

Nice and relaxed sellers are one of the resons why I entered the game myself. I could sometimes exchange very expensive items to mixed bag of pure exalts random currency and rare item, so big thanks for all the friendly and reasonable sellers in the game.

I hope you get some serious gains for the next year and can archieve your goal in the gym! o/

Hey :)

Golems orbs have chance to overlap, aka. shotgun on larger enemies. This means using GMP can be seroius DPS boost. Overall I would still be using it as if you switch to less projectiles the boss can move under the single orbs and you will miss the damage totally.

Tukohamas should be doing most of the damage in boss fights, but if you like to focus mostly on Golems as boss killers I can recommend trying Elementalist as Pledge lets Flame Golems shotgun really well.

I'm just entering maps myself, but Golems have felt really good this league. They have taken every earlier boss down for me without problems, so they should work with new endgame bosses as well ;)
