Hello.

A few questions.

In the leveling guide you tell us to spec herd the flock, but in the final tree you don't have it. Respec?

Why no necromantic aegis? Not in the tree and you only suggest it with tukohama's fortress.

It's useful for leveling. By the time you're level 96, chances are your resists will be massively overcapped anyway, so, reclaim that point for something useful. :)

NA is... well, it's a bit of a glass cannon, frankly. You lose a lot of defence for yourself to give your spectres a lot more offence. Also, it was a fair bit better pre-3.1.

Thank you.

Hope the poster here was not jokin', it did cost me little fortune.
I'll report back :^)

Should i also use the mace with +1 golem?

You can, but i don't think that you need this.

Also bought those today... It was super worth it!

Sadly i failed to craft good helm

But damn,it sure is fun.
The only downside is i lost about 700hp from jewel slots

Flame golems really do round out the vanguard build.

Agreed. They are not gonna compete with solar guards sadly, but their damage and coverage is enough to make mapping with TV quite enjoyable.

They are lacking better AI, that's their only problem. Solar guards will always find your targets even before you reach it yourself, but flame golems mostly don't shoot unless you already swarmed, even through their range can cover entire screen.

Those jewels were really expensive, but i'm not disapointed. Farming chimera right now, so i can get scourge :)

P.S. By the way, it's the first time that i have so much meat in my build. 3 flame golems, 4 spectres, AG and 8 zombies. So much meat, indeed commander of darkness :)

By the way, chimera was a complete joke. Cloud phase can't even injure through our bone offering, chimera itself trying to hit only my minions and fail miserably.

Or do what i did. 4 SGs and flame golems... never see anything but laser beams, flamethrowers, or fireballs ever again ;)

Ive managed to clear up to 8 modded corrupted t13s (t14s and up just dont want to drop for me even with 110 atlas) with no problems so far.....other than my pc sounding like a jet engine with all the effects on screen.

Does your Animate guardian die after logout? I geared mine up logged out lost all the gear on him.

AG dont die after logout.
you can lost all items on AG only if AG died in batle

which option is better?

3 SG + 2 flame golems(specified in single target dps)
or
3 TV + 2 flame golems(specified in aoe dps)

golems in 4 linked elder helm with 18-minion-damage and 18-concentrated.
tv in 6 linked armor.

I have no data on how effect the golem dps can be, single/aoe.

will golems be good enough to clear T14-T15 maps on aoe set-up?

right now I have them on single dps, SG are very good at clearing map, but not sure if I shall let golems do the clearing and TVs do boss because TV's single dps is OP as we know, just want to know how effective flame golem on aoe map clearing.

I just grabbed some random yellow items and used animate guardian. I logged out and came back hes gone.

Just trying out the version with 3 flame golems.
One question: A bone helmet with implicit 40% minion dmg should be the same like minion dmg from elder helmet or ? Maybe even better, cause it gives also spectres 40%dmg. (it also gives +1 minion gems)
