[3.12] Radiating Carrion Golems. 90% resistances + 10-20 Mil DPS

I just tried Divergent Melee Splash Support and I must say it's amazing for clearing. With Damage on Full Life, enemies die way quicker, but it feels like they die one by one. With Melee Splash on the other hand, everything dies at the same time and it feels much smoother. I think it would be worth mentioning in the guide.

no need, the extra node on a 9 passive jewel can be avoided if you're just using a cluster with 1 extra "skill" on it.
So I'm considering trying out Spectres. Is it just a matter of swapping out all the golem jewels and then putting the Spectres (with Empower to get the 4th one) into your chest instead of the Carrion golems?

It seems like it would straight up work to swap out, is there anything that I'm overlooking here? Seems like its pretty cheap to switch to at least try it out.

I love this build great dps great tankyness but the clear is a bit slow any suggestions ?


As the other guy pointed out and its absolutely correct, drop impale and get divergent melee splash in, its a huge upgrade.

The other and probally more major change is how you are moving, what I mean is your movement skill specifically and how you are supporting it.

Now myself, I dont like the 250%+ lightning fast pathfinder type speed setups, there is one available for this build though if you want that; you will use anomalous phase run as your movement skill and you slot it on your let click/move skill hotkey. You then link it to enhance and craft a wand with the usual +1 to minion skill gems, and possibly if your well off a second +1 to gem type roll, and you craft the socketed gems recieve additional quality. With all that your phase run never runs out and the speed is like a perma speed shrine.

Now what I do, I like to cyclone through maps as my movement skill, now before your like omg why, its so slow, when I cyclone its at 150% of my movement speed, I dont slow down to cyclone, I do it 50% faster then I normally run b/c I use The Stampede Assassin Boots.

These boots lock my movement speed at 150%, so when I cyclone I dont slow down, but if I use a speed flask I dont go above 150%, so you can eliminate the speed flask and just cyclone through every map. This allows permanent phasing through all the pesky delve and heist mobs, its always up and never gets you stuck in a bad spot where you get blown up before you can react and you can comfortably keep fortify up by linking it to cyclone. Its a literal 1 handed play style which many people that play these broken builds are looking for.

A note worth mentioning, The Stampede also give you a free 2nd annointment. Heres my setup though (im full CI, 13 auras);







divergent melee splash is better than regular damage on full life support?


seems ci loses lot of damage at end gear/ tree ?

I was originally playing a hexblast build for this league and basically had almost everything I needed for this build drop for me. So I switched. Mainly because while the hexblast build was spectacular for clearing and rushing maps, it sucks on end game boss dps. So figured since I basically had practically everything for this build I'd give it a go. Done minion builds in previous leagues so this wasn't that different to use. Right now tearing things up again. Still have some tweaks to do, and I need to get the awakened gems to boost my DPS, but otherwise I'm hitting like 3mil~ish per carrion golem when I pop everything. With 4 golems it is ~12mil for Sirius boss dps. My difference is I prefer using phase run instead of shield charge just for the extra layer of defense it provides and the ability to run through stuff. Only issue with phase run is if it is on left click you can't open chests without being stuck on the spot for the duration of that chest event (ie until everything dies you can't move or do anything). Hate that bug is still in the game after all these years.

I have a few other tweaks to the build. Like I haven't found a second vivinsect ring (only found one) and can't afford a second. It is no big deal because I think I like using as hungry loop for my zombies instead. This allows me to stack my animate guardian with raise spectre and a meat shield easier. That way I have zero worries about my guardian or spectres dying. They also tend to stick closer to me so I don't lose fortify from the kingmaker buff. Here is my current setup.



Flasks running so far.




For my animate guardian I have a Kingmaker, -9 physical resistances helmet, max state Belly of the Beast, max stat Southbound gloves, and Victario's Flight boots.

No, CI is the final form of this build. Its the highest damage and survivability using 13 auras including four 50% reserved auras, pride, haste, determination, and grace.

There is no need to convert to CI though unless your just fully maxed on the lowlife version and have alot of extra money.

People just plug things into PoB and play the game on paper, you have to keep in mind the entire concept of the build, you are scaling commander of darkness' effect by stacking multiple auras, and scaling the aura's effects, more auras > more attack speed > more dps.

Playing CI does everything LL does plus gives you insanely high evasion and physical defense and more dps.

*Keep in mind, I didnt create the CI build, I started in lowlife like everyone else broke as fk using a pariah ring and a 5 links shavs body, you can scroll back pages and find me in poverty. As time went on this league I maxed everything out on the LL and switched to Turbo, Hemzo, and others CI version and began crafting my own gear b/c the pieces either didnt exist or were 35+ ex to start. If you look up comparable body armours, shields, necklaces, and gloves you are going to see what I mean price wise, and CI is also a complete cluster overhaul, it takes all different medium clusters, so dont feel like you HAVE to swap, its just if your bored and have excess funds.*
