This is probably one of the best builds I've played on this league so far. Good job.

I'll second that. Job well done! Currently looking into an Occultist (!) version with 4W Triad Grip chaos convert and curse effect shenanigans. I'll just be running around with a tri-curse blashpemy and skitterbots, witherstepping on everything :)

Nice Build-jack.

Hi,

And about carrion golem helmet lab enchant : 100% increased Effect of the Buff granted by your Carrion Golems.

This could to power up golem damage buff from 80 to 160 ?

And it can increase physical damage for non golem minions as well ?

Hello. That part only affects the physical damage bonus to non-golem minions what is worthless for this build so its not very good.

The uber lab enchant is 150% and not just 100%.
A level 28 Carrion Golem will grant average 56 phys damage buff.
With the 150% buff it will be 140 phys damage buff instead.

For zombie/skeleton builds, this is the strongest helm enchant in terms of damage.
40%increased zombie damage etc. is insignificant compared to the 150% carrion golem buff.

It really isnt because zombies are usually very high level and so have huuuge amount of flat damage, so it will be pretty low dps boost from enchant compared to just flesh offering/zombie enchants.

On really i am playing a zombie setup as main damage, 13 zom , 4 spec and 4 gol/ skellys on same link.

So it is a lot of non golem minions. So i was interested about non golem minions damage buff, if that 100 or 150% on helmet can increased that physical buff for zombies, skellies, specters.

Carrion golem buff is good basically only for Phantasms and SRS, for literally any other minion builds its really worthless, mainly when you are necro. Because as I already said before, all of your minions will be at pretty high gem level, will already have huge flat damage, so flat phys damage bonus from Carrions will barely do anything for them.

Yes, i think you are right. My zombie gem is high enough for that buff. I was just wondering if that enchant could be valuable, cause it is "easy" (cheap) to get it. But seems even enchant with 15% increased zombie attack speed is more interesting in this case.

I really like the build and am looking at doing something similar. The only major problem I have with it is when someone says "face tank" (for your videos) but hits flasks and even then comes very close to dying. This is a strong, hard to kill build, for sure, but please say that instead. "Face tanking" is standing there and taking all hits without touching the keyboard, which is a very high bar to reach. Just a pet peeve. I like the build.
