Carrion Golems should hit hard enough to freeze everything though shouldn't they?

Yeah, don't run Harmonies, they do nothing. Try to get decent Eye Jewels instead.

Running 4100 life sure is scary but should still be manageable. You should be able to squeeze more life into the build with good abyss Jewels, from your items and more levels.

I've added some farming guides in to the guide.
You can read about Lira Arthain there.
It's inside the Intermediate Farming Strategies sections.

Do I need to get a single taunt+blind eye jewel though or stacking them is efficient too? It seems that it would be pointless as damage jewels provide much more, but maybe I don't know something?
Also, I checked new farming section, but I can't really find anything in terms of specific sextant rolls for this strat, I was asking about this in particular. There are some rogue markers rolls and additional packs that could possibly provide more rogue markers but that's all I got on my mind.

I'm saying thanks again because so far (and it's been a whole month) I'm enjoying this build to its fullest, and I'm not feeling like I did a mistake while choosing this guide and necro build especially.

Even if you deal a "freezing" hit (like a crit), you'll only actually freeze if the effective freeze duration is 0.3 seconds or more. If you don't, the freeze is ignored. Because our SO specters deal relatively low damage hundreds of times, every freezing hit will be entirely discarded against bosses.

With good enough gear you might hit the point where you start freezing some map bosses, but by that point the boss is going to die within a few frames regardless. Any time that your specters are dealing 5% of a bosses life per projectile, that boss isn't going to exist much longer. Basically, we don't freeze anything, even most rares are well beyond our freeze threshold.

Additionally, even if you could freeze with your specters, the freeze would constantly be being overwritten by the higher duration freezes our Carrion golems would be inflicting and you'd lose divergent bonus anyway.

Carrion Golem hit damage should be enough to freeze most targets though shouldn't it?

I've never put any thought to it.
Everything on my screen is either Dead or Frozen anyway.
You will notice that everything is frozen when you play. This becomes very apparent when playing against things like Porcupines et.c. as those mobs shatter and don't shoot their spikes when we kill them.

Keep in mind that Hypothermia also reads: "Supported skills has 10% chance to freeze targets that are chilled".

This alone allows for SOs to keep everything perma frozen.

Hi!

Um... "don't use Harmonies" Whaaaaa! I spent so much money on them...

Should I ditch them all for watcher's eyes? What about the amount of golems then, doesn't that go out the window?

Also, any ideas of what to use instead of hypotermia?

Thx! :)

Oh right!
I was using Nublock Oskarm Gloves on my AG and put on a level 10 Assassin's Mark in my weapon to simulate it for single target.

Unfortunately those gloves don't work on him so I had to switch to Elemental Weakness corrupted gloves instead.

Thank you for the update.

Also, if you could, can you take a look at my pob, a bit stuck with the updates - the priority, maybe change something for a bit better dps without major currency investment for qol.

As of the update plan, its helmet with hypothermia or even with crit, awakening gems, better wand and amulet.

Thank you for the guide!!

What's your current Animate Guardian wearing?
Can't see that in your PoB.

As for upgrade paths. If I were you I would:
1. Get Awakened Elemental Damage with Attacks, Awakened Minion damage and Awakened Vicious Proj for both your minions. (Get Multistrike and AGMP later)
2. Save up for either a Auls Uprising or a +2 Jade amulet with high dex and Life. Aul's is more defensive, +2 is more offensive.
If you go Aul's get Watchers Eye and Vaal Grace together with the amulet.
3. Get a 7-link helm.
4. Get a +2 wand with minimum minimum 55% minion damage.
Any suffixes work because you can reforge keep prefix and multi mod 15% as and trigger.

After that we're talking more high investment items:
This will include a +2 minimum frenzy/power charge shield, other woke gems, Headhunter, +2 spectre boots and GG rings.
