No worries. I'll try to put together an easy explanation without the math. :)

Use a level 20 vaal molten shell without quality.

I haven't tried the spiked notable, but that's a damn fine suggestion.

I'm using both soul catcher and soul ripper.

So the process goes:
1. Start map, wait until you fill soul ripper, by which time your VMS will be ready to go.
2. Hit Soul Catcher, then VMS.
3. Continue murdering critters until your VMS expires. Technically, it's Soul Gain Prevention will be over 0.1 seconds before VMS expires, but don't worry about that.
4. Hit Soul Ripper: VMS is ready to go.
5. Hit Soul Catcher again
6. Hit VMS. Because Soul Catcher is in effect, VMS's Soul Gain Prevention will be less than the duration on VMS.
7. Loop back to step 3.

The rhythm is a bit weird to get used to, especially with the odd start, but after a while you get used to the 3 keypress dance to keep it up. I assigned the SR to 3, SC to 4, and VMS to R, to make it easier to hit them all in sequence.

If you manage your VMS, you'll nearly always end up at the boss with 3 VMS hits - one running, one charged and ready to go, and one waiting in your Soul Ripper.

Downsides:
- Eats up 2 flask slots. I wasn't really using them for other things anyway. I'm heading for a flask setup that's Forbidden Taste / Soul Catcher / Soul Ripper / Speedflask with the last spot being either Bottled Faith or The Wise Oak if I can balance my elemental resists.
- You need to be careful using curse / offering / movement skills while the Soul Catcher is active, as you don't recover mana. I'm trying to work in using Forbidden taste right after VMS, to cancel the effect of SC, but 4 keypresses is hard. :)

Edit: Well, so much for the *easy* explanation, ended up with another essay. /me shrugs.

Hi,

I use Arena Master for + 40% increased attack, movement and cast speed, Ruins Hellion for Rallying Cry, Carnage Chieftain for Frenzy Charges and Host Chieftain for Power Charges.

I don't know if it's the most optimized but it works well !

Why not use Primordial Bond?
Only lines that explicitly state "minion's" will apply to minions. Primordial Bond does not, so it only gives your minions health and a little bit of life regen.

can someone explain it to me pls i dont get it
doest primordal bond give you:

10% incresed Damage per Summoned Golem
40% incresed Effect of Buffs granted by your Golems
Golens have 25% increased Maximum Life

why shouldnt you benefit from that juicy stats ?

*YOU* get increased damage per summoned golem. Your golems do not. Same for buff effect.

This is great for an Elomancer that is primarily doing the damage dealing themselves, and using golems to boost that. It's not great for anyone using the golems themselves as their primary source of damage.
