3.19 Explosive concoction buff stacking golemancer | Best value for the price

Greetings!

https://youtu.be/VMax0VFFVRM

3.19 Ready. Nothing changed for 3.19 except mana reservation mastery, just need to have some substitution for 15% mana reservation efficiency.

Here is a golemancer (buff stacking) explosive concoction.
Insane for the price.
Two variants - non-crit and crit.
Crit version allows us to have smoother uber-bossing due to the ability of sustaining flasks.
Non-crit version is for league start farming and bossing.
The only difference is that we get rid of 1 flask (dying sun) in the crit version and take timeless jewel (traitor - brutal restraint - balbala). It gives us charges sustain.
Also we need a gain a flask charge on crit while affected by precision modifier on sapphire and topaz flasks.
(On single boss fights you can try to swap rumi's concoction with dying sun for more shotgunning potential)


Be careful: in the crit version PoB there is a timeless jewel simulation instead of the real one, because there are some issues with putting it in PoB.

Better to have harvest enchant on sapphire and topaz flask with +100 to maximum charges.

Concept is easy: stacking damage increases with primordial bond notable passive and stacking buffs from golems. They provide us all we need.
Better to have feast of flesh on 1 megalomaniac for huge life gain on hit.

All endgame bossing with crit version.
Cannot do simulacrum after wave 20-22 due to the lacking of some defences (some random 1-shots).
100% delirium - hard but possible (80% preferable)

1) Pros

Spoiler

*Solid clearing
*Insane value for budget

____________________________________________________________________________


2) Cons

Spoiler

*Flask sustain (no problem for the crit version)

____________________________________________________________________________


3) Levelling

Spoiler

Level with explosive concoction following the initial tree and skipping jewels.
As you get money and go to higher levels get skin of the lords and jewels first.
Then try to get other uniques (aegis aurora will be the last as you reach red maps)
or any projectile bow skill, then respec for the build after you have level and money for the build.

5) Current gear and gem setups

Spoiler



Note: you need spiritual aid annointment on the amulet (I didn't notice, that I was playing without it :D)

As we are lacking gem sockets, we need a corruption with 1 aura on our amulet.

Auras: purity of elements, determination, precision, tempest shield.
Molten shell, ancestral protector
Golems :)
Explosive concoction with a huge variety of possible support gems.
In the pob I've chosen my preferrable.
Awakened increased aoe is a must, because we need to have a shotgunning potential.

6) JEWELS


Spoiler

Primordial Eminence (x2)
Anima Stone
(Need jewels with implicits of avoid being stunned/bleeding/poisoned to be immune to these things)
Large cluster with primordial bond (x2)
Megalomaniac with primordial bond (x2)

Seems nothing changed for this build, but let's see the final patch notes :)
item progression pls? and tree?

As there are no specific items that are "a must" for this build you just level up with gear you want to have/can afford (life; attack speed; ele/proj/area damage) and follow the tree as it is (skipping jewels). After you farm your first 50-100 chaos you can switch to the items from the build.
I think better to take skin of the lords first (it's a cheapest 6link)
then helmet and boots; then think of jewels as you go to red tier maps and by that time get aegis aurora to have more survivability.
Is Aegis shield important for this build? It is estimated to cost 15divines at league start, which is 3400exalted orbs. Because it is best in slot for minion builds.(most defense for least points)

Aegis is not a must, but it provides significant tankiness for endgame.
You can take renewed daresso's courage to have capped block and you won't need glancing blows on the chest then.

Also, clarify pls, where did u see such prices?
Exalt has never been cheaper than divine.
I can predict that exchange rate of divine to exalt with changes to crafting bench will change... But 15 divines for 3400 exalts is something strange :)
