Minions DPS

Hi all!!

I'm noob and I have a few questions about Witch and the Passive Skill Tree.

1) Is there any post/documentation that tells me the damage that each of the minions can do? (Spectres, Golems, Skeltons, Zombies).

I copied the Golem Carrion build (or almost) but I don't know the DPS of each of my minions (separately).

One of the reasons of my question it's to know if it worth to put 1 different Golem (Fire, Lightning, etc..) to get "#% INCREASED GOLEM DAMAGE FOR EACH TYPE OF GOLEM YOU HAVE SUMMONED" from my Primordial Harmony jewels.

Thanks
Ivan

Get POB, import your build there, and test whatever gear swap you need.

Hello,

1. Check Poe wiki for basic information on minion skills/skill abilities. Check poe db for data mine data of the minions.

2. Use the Path of Building (POB) community edition if you wish to min/max your minion damage/dps. It's a useful utility when you need to plan your next upgrade or your next build.

For most golem builds, having an extra type would help with primordial harmony, but it's only an increase damage per jewel. You could get more damage via other sources, which is why most golem builds are one type and don't stack that many of those jewels (usually). Additionally, each golem has different damage type, and you would need different links to increase your other golems, which would remove other link you may have for utility skills (auras, buff, movement, offering skills, etc).

There are different ways to build a Golementalist.

One way is to have the ammy that gives +3 golems, dual wield clayshapers, to get 11 golems. Then run 7 of your main dps golems in a 6l chest, and 4 single unsupported golems for buffs and then stack as many harmonies on the tree as possible. If you get 10 harmonies (a stretch, but it can be done), thats 1000% increased golem damage.

Other builds dont stack harmonies, and don't have as many golem types.

P.S.
I don't trust PoB numbers for minions.

Years ago, GGG released some specific number for minion damage, but there have been several patches since then where they stated they changed the dps for minions, but did not specify exactly how.

So....
I judge minions by what I have found on my own, and by what other experienced players have said.

Carrion and Stone golems seem to be the best golems these days.
(Carrion if you have non golem minions, Stone if you only have golems.)

Zombies dont do as much damage as Skeletons unless you have the Baron helm and stack strength. You can make a good build around either.

Spectres, if you choose the right spectre, can do insane damage, when combined with expensive cluster jewels.

P.P.S.
Shameless plug for my build guide for Electric Spectres + (Zombies or Skeletons)

It does plenty of damage, is super low cost, and very easy to play.
