[3.10] Ice Golem Golemancer Build -DELIRIUM-BALANCED- ALL CONTENT -Everything Dies-Huge Damage

Keep in mind you must edit values because depends on your golems amount. Ascendency gives us 20% damage bonus + 20% damage bonus means 40% x (amount of golems) so total we can have 400% (10 golems)

I bet you have enemy shocked checked in PoB aswell which is totally untrue aswell cause we do not apply 40% shock but only 20%.

Anoint your amulet with Indomitable / Righteous Army instead of Ravenous Horde.

Maybe use more Harmony instead of Eminence for better regen and damage. Armour rating is a real stinker... great vs low dmg hits coming fast but the heavier the hits they take the less effective armour rating becomes.

"

Rule of Thumb: armour will never prevent more damage than its value divided by 10

While the 3000 armour from your three Eminince jewels may look impressive on paper it will only prevent 300 damage at best... ridiculous. Three Harmony jewels on the other hand will grant them 6% more life regeneration, that's what? 1500 life per second? A no-brainer really.

(This also means our character sheet is wildly inaccurate in respect to estimated physical damage reduction. We can pretty much discard the 30-40% we may see from armour rating. Why our Chaos Golem buff and minimum Endurance Charges are so valuable, 42% in my case, and why a Basalt Flask is infinitely better then a Granite Flask. Those 57 percent, my friend, are real damage reduction and also mitigate physical damage over time which armour does not.)

We had this discussion about our golems getting shred to pieces in the flame golem thread. IMO the f*cking amulet is the crux of the matter. It takes such a heavy toll on golem life, they surely are no longer immortal. But of course now with that juicy golem buff increase we can't do without it anymore. The best way to keep our golems alive is more life, better regeneration and real damage mitigation such as provided by the Indomitable Army notable rather than armour rating.

I keep forgetting that your Ice Golems are melee attackers... have you tried Fortify Support? I know it's 14% less than MPDS in terms of damage but 20% less damage taken from hits may not be such a bad trade-off after all.

I mean, salivating over bazillions of shaper deeps doesn't help much when your pets are dying because you will be next in line. ;)

Atzirii's flame blast and storm call cannot hurt em. Has to be her reflect and/or bleed.

In HoGM it's most likely chaos damage that kills them.

I wonder how they fare against Ulaman, the Abyssal Lich dealing phys and chaos damage? This fella has always been a problem for my golems even before 3.9 when they had a ton more life because Primordial Chain just sucked back then. ;)

There isn't much we can do about chaus damage (except Grave Intentions) but when you convert all damage to elemental with Triad Grip reflect is no longer an issue.

Err, there seems to be a slight misunderstanding. My reply was to zZDeathAngelZz who said his Ice Golems were dying lately.

My flame golems are doing fine even in Delve below 400 depth.
