Thank you, but now I see the necromantic aegis as node. I suppose to be wrong.

What do you think about withering step gem? Could replace phase run?

Hey Mika,

Happy New Year!!!

How are you enjoying Metamorph league so far?

I think it's pretty fun. Not likely to keep me playing as much as Legion did but it's definitely much nicer now that you auto-pickup the monster parts.

As far as the new Metamorphs go and the change to bosses in general you can definitely feel the spike in difficulty. Not so much with the map bosses although I haven't really progressed my Atlas much beyond early red maps atm but you can create some absolutely devastating metamorphs if you are not careful!

If anything this feels a bit like early Betrayal where chaos damage were causing one-shots all over the place. Similarly this league stacking chaos res feels pretty mandatory. I don't really have any space for it on my current setup as the MF items don't come with any but at -19 chaos res and 700 life regen when I die it is nearly always to chaos damage. I can usually tell because even though it happens really fast my ES stays full.

I think nearly all my deaths have been to metamorphs and I'm trying to determine if using blasphemies is actually good this league. Temp chains doesn't seem to do a lot as they are unique monsters and usually you'll load them up with a quick prefix or hex proof and you almost want to stay as far away from them as you possibly can! Temp chains still feels amazing for general mapping as does flesh and stone but definitely less useful for the bosses and metamorphs.

In fact this is exactly the league where my previous golemancer tanks would be amazing. 9 - 11k ES, 2K es regen, CI, 40k armour and 50% block chance with 600 - 700 ES on block would probably mean that most metamorphs wouldn't be able to really do anything to me. I was hoping I might be able to transition my MF golemancer into the "Tank" version as, supposedly being "Bow League", everybody would focus more on life gear. Sadly it feels almost like "Minions League 2.0" after Blight and I'm priced out of all the ES gear I would need to make it work effectively.

Oh well, still quite a lot of fun and at least so far my golems haven't had a metamorph they can't eventually kill off. I may die a few times but they rarely do. The stone golem seems to die occasionally - I might unlink it from feeding frenzy with the other two golems (lightning and chaos) to see if that helps him to survive a bit better. I'm not sure he procs feeding frenzy that much anyway compared to the lightning golem.

I hope you are well Mika and this is the start of a fantastic year for you.

All the best :)

Thought elementalist was best for golems

Hi,
I'm running this build now for the second season, thanks for your work!

Short question: Would there be any reason not to use "Storm Burst" instead of "Winter Orb" which I'm missing?
(Playing with 3 Vanguards and 4 Flame Golems at the moments)


cheers

It's both.

You can find them both in the "Passives" drop down on the first post.

do I need 7x Primordial Harmony?

ps:
I just made a T15 map and my minions do really little harm to the end boss. What can that be? I have exactly the same gear as you, only I don't have Watcher's Eye yet.
