[3.14] Flame Golem 101 - Complete Guide To Golemancy, ✔️All Bosses Down, ✔️Necro, ✔️Elementalist

On page 121 "makingmericagreatagain" suggest the jewel socket change, on page 122 you answer him saying that was a good idea :)

So... i can not take credit :)

I tried my best with my golemancer in the past month, but somehow I can only get around 6k ES in total (including buffs) (and 2k HP). Can anyone spare some mins and check out my character and give me some advice on this?

Hey :)

Thanks for the notice!
Fixed the credits, was super tired yesterday.
You deserve small personal thanks also for reminding me again about the change ;)

Hey :)

You have very heavily modified skill tree compared to my original one. You are missing :
- "Written in blood" right side
- "Nullification" right side
- "Purity of flesh" left side
- "Faith and steel" left side
With all those huge life / ES nodes taken you should be very close to 10k EHP.

I would drop all nodes below "Constitution" and take the mentioned life nodes with the freed points.
IF needed drop also the 3x nodes leading to the top-left jewel socket, you need EHP much, much more than few jewel sockets.

Hi All,

just quick question importance of animate golem? how much dps does it contribute?

Just started my first chat on harbinger league (I know, late to the party) with this build and I'm having a blast so far. The only problem I have is that it's hard to to start on if you don't have even a little currency to get gear for all your gem setups running. Next goal is to get a Vis Mortis which go for 8c which will be a huge boost.

Animate guardian does not give u boost on dps I think so but it gain u extra meat shield , extra cursed and a companion with you

Finally got the chance to try out shaper. It took awhile to save up guardian fragments, and I wanted to give it a shot when I hit a fresh level so I wouldn't lose any exp if I died.

I one shotted it on my first attempt. It was a really fun fight.

I ran 3 level 28 flame golems and 1 level 26 stone golem with Zealot's oath for energy shield regen. I actually attempted without Necromatic Aegis and none of my golems died (I dropped Necromatic Aegis since Flame Golem DPS just seemed stupidly high, and survivability became more important). Also did it without a guardian (I forgot to summon it).

Overall, it wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be with a movement speed potion. None of my Golems died or seemed to get close to dying. The Shaper itself didn't really regen much during phases since I was just speed running through the inbetween zones in his phases. Almost died once during the last phase when there were two shapers, but after that, he was dropping pretty fast.

The build I'm using is probably a little weird since I've been tweaking to my preferences a bit, but at it's core, it's still the standard build. The biggest difference is that I'm using zealot's oath with about 912.3 energy shield regen per second.

This has been an awesome build to play with. Thanks for the guide.

Hello :)

Animate Guardian has multiple uses :
- Heals team 6% per second
- Draws aggro from you and Golems
- Hinders enemies (-25% movement) and maims (-25% movement) if you link it with maim on hit
- Curses enemies with "Elemental Weakness level 10-12" which gives about 30% more damage to Golems

AG itself doesn't do almost any damage but works more like multi-tool.

Hey :)

Yep, starting late at league is pretty tough when everyone else is running endgame gear. Specters still work very good for leveling if you are low on currency and want to reach endgame without having to buy anima stone yet.

Now that Specters are permanent, you can try to summon higher level specters from maps if you meet them
as you get to keep em between sessions ;)

Hi and thanks for support :)

Ooh, +1 Sotl GZ! :D

You got so extreme high end armor that you can pretty much customize gear and skill tree heavily. Golems wont be dying to pretty much anything even without Necro Aegis and swapping shields.

You seem to be using the older Infernal Mantle tree even as you are using SotL. YOu can drop most of mana reduction nodes and take more EHP from right side of the tree. Check my new final tree for SotL as it might provide improvements for your tree also ;)

If you like ES regen, legacy Infernal Mantle with +1 level and legacy Elreon rings with increased maximum ES will push your ES even further. High level Stone Golem with enhancement buss is very clever with Zealoths Oath.

There's proof right there levels on Golems are insanely good XD

I guess with Lv 28 Golems you don't really need AG or any extra defenses on them, besides your passives. If you didn't use your AG, I'm wondering if you'll benefit a lot more from Vaal Discipline. Not sure if it would be overkill, or helpful in ensuring that you'd never die (by using it as a panic button, since you have such high ES regen).

@Mika: I guess another viable endgame option to replace AG would be to prioritise ES regen, with some combination of Stone Golem, Vaal Discipline, Vitality, and Zealot's Oath from a few options:
1. Passive (only 1 point needed as we pass right by it)
2. The Sorrow of the Divine flask (also drops Consecrated Ground for even more regen; could be a viable replacement for AG's Consecrated Ground)
3. Geofri's Sanctuary chestpiece (elaborated below)

For Geofri's Sanctuary, it was surprisingly good. You do lose 2 levels on Golems, but surprisingly, it offers about the same eHP as SotL, even with only 135 STR (I lost 47 ES but gained 92 Life, for net +45 eHP). It even offers a bit of Resistances.
