I just don't understand.

You havnt picked up Sovereignty nodes

So I managed to push my min/max dps up to 115 million and then started to wonder if I could help shore up the main problem that Carrion Golems have... Clear.

Carrion Golems are mainly single target creatures, and the AOE skills they have don't really hit that hard. So looking for a solution, I tossed Divergent Melee Splash into the golem links (replacing damage on full life)

This move dropped my dps value to 89 million, but gave the golems LOTS more clear speed. Divergent Melee Splash is a sleeper gem. It's super cheap and quality gives it MORE dps to secondary targets, removing the penalties of the gem altogether. It's also an easy gem swap for guardians, Sirus, or any other boss where you want to squeeze out all the single target damage you can get.

Hmm: this may be a bit of a placebo effect. Still testing melee splash with Carrions.. and trying to do more research.

I was testing awakened melee splash before and somehow it didn't feel so good. I don't know what it is, but it was much better on my skeleton builds. Maybe i should test it again now that i have much more dps.

You're missing the Sovereignty aura cluster. That's a total of 14% mana reserved.

Wait what? I feel dumb how did I miss that I didn't even notice it in the pob but it's there.

Yeah, I've been testing it myself on Infused beachhead maps, and melee splash feels a bit cleaner, but doesn't seem to make much of a difference timewise in that map. That map has 100% increased life of monsters.

Don't use the awakened melee splash. The Divergent one is better IMO. You get a bit less area, BUT your splash has no damage penalty.

Going to get myself a couple of pure breachstones and see how it feels with and without melee splash. I'm thinking the golems only start to struggle on clear in very densely populated areas, and when the monsters have enough life or defense to not be oneshotted by the AOE. Things like the juiced up delirium maps.

Edit: Ran two quick Pure Tul breachstones.. Clear was noticeably better with Divergent Melee Splash. While I think I need a beyond 100% delirious map to really test it even on the Tul map, there was a couple of times that the golems got "backed" up with a single target setup, with the melee splash it was just clean.

Edit2: ran a Simulacrum switching back and forth from Melee Splash and single target. The Melee splash was smoother for sure. It wasn't a crazy difference, but it was noticeable. Less bunching of groups of mobs, and it certainly seemed like I got a few more kills than I otherwise would have.

Hey, im looking for a pure Sirus/Boss Killer Build am i right here?

I play my second char for mapping and to farm currency but my build needs a lot of invest to kill sirus so in the meantime i need a tanky Build to kill my aw8 sirus when i have the spawn.

how much does the good gear cost to kill Sirus at aw8 at a good speed?


Hope you can help me here :)

I've just recorded an A8 Sirus fight, deathless, video is like 3 minutes long. Is that quick enough?

Going to edit and upload it, then post the link in this thread.
Meanwhile, you can check out my character if you need a solid build. Just load in my heist character in POB. ;)

Price is approx around 80-100 exalted by now for my gear, perhaps even more.

How do you reach such damage? I've thrown to the build a good amount of currency (possibly 50ex+) and I'm really pleased with how reliable it is, 90 cap res, 7.7K ES, 1.2K ES reg, It's amazing, but I'm lacking some damage. Single target is great but when doing T16 delirium maps my carrion golems take a while to clear everything, I manage to complete some of them with 90-100 splinters but the damage is a bit inconsistent. Could you check my build and maybe confirm if I'm doing something wrong?


I've got also the cluster jewels, Aura 300% effect, don't know where I'm wrong. Maybe going back to impale?

Thanks!!!

Your build looks good. Two quick and easy things you can do is use Divergent Clarity, and Divergent Vitality. That up to 120% increased damage right there.

The other big thing is to fit in Flesh and Stone linked to Maim. That is a huge damage multiplier that requires some creative work with mana reservations.

Keep in mind when I say 115 million dps, that's with all damage options checked, AG gear factored in, max pride aura effect, etc. So it's not exactly real world.

As for your clear, try playing around with Divergent Melee Splash instead of "damage on full life" Try a map or two with that swap and see if your clear feels better. Golems are slow at clearing out a massive amount of enemies. I wish we could get an explode mod for them.

Thanks for the help definitely seen an improvement on the clearing and damage output using the Div Vit and Clarity. Also Div Melee Splash seems to have a bit less impact than expected on the damage and a better clearance but need to do more testing on simulacrum maps.

Is The Torrent's Reclamation worth?

Hey Folks,

I Probably never had an easier Sirus fight than this one:

I'm also happy to tell you guys that I'll be making a new build guide with my build variant over the coming days. I've spoken to WaffleT about it and will credit his build with a link to this guide.
