Totally not trolling.

My main concern at this point is if I should sell the helmet if there is a build oriented to it or if I should just keep redoing enchants on it.

I have contacted a Flame Golemancer I got from PoE Ninja list and he directed me into here.

I would love some sincere advice, thanks.

In that case I would say yes. It's a very very nice helm. To the point that I would rip your arm off and beat you to death with the soggy end to get my hands on it, for one. Anyone who is using Tukohama's Vanguards would LOVE to use this helmet, and the added reduced reserved mana prolly frees up some node or other, somewhere.

Don't ask me about the price, though. As you know that base alone is ridiculously expensive. I certainly don't have enough ex!

Hi there fellow golemancers:

While labbing to get my own enchant for Spectres I end up hitting this:

Is this helm valuable for your build? Should I try to sell it to a golemancer and work my way to a new helm?

Thanks

Just like Sabahl said, this is an amazing helmet. Three types of mods that synergize great with TV spectres + the probably BiS helmet enchant for a flame-golem-reliant build + a lot of life + lower mana reservation + a flexible crafting suffix on top of all of that. The only possible downside is that the ES is somewhat lacking, but well - you can't have everything. Also, yes, this helmet along with the enchant fits perfectly in mika2salo's build, as it offers buffs for both fire-based spectres (like TVs) and flame golems, both of which already synergize well and are used together in the necromancer variant of this build.

IMO on Standard it can be easily worth several tenths of ex orbs, if not over a hundred.

Even if full golem, i would love to play with it @_@ Defenitely a BiS item
But atm i got only 1 EX XD

(only 1 ex dropped this league, how is that just even possible T_T)

Seems some market manipulation is going on with jewels lately, i have seem a few people with dozens of then that will never answer on trade. Guess the PoE trader community never change after all...

Actually, there is so much going on I am not at all sure. I thought I saw more totems with the shield but that could have been my imagination, and my whole screen is a lightshow so it's not the easiest to get a decent count.

Either way, I guess swapping out the "Multiple totems" support for something more damaging if the shield is doing its work might not be such a bad thing?

Hello :)

I tested the totems when the AI was patched and they definitely didn't cast more than 2x totem back then. If you notice that they can summon more, please nocite me as it would be very nice change.

Shield only benefits TV Spec, so maybe some boss-killing oriented setup could benefit from it?

Hey :)

Gz on amazing helmet!

I'm not very good at estimating if item is mirror worth as I never owned any, but I can do some basic comparing.



I paid about 100 ex for my helmet. You helmet has more DPS, but my has Energy Shield.

the +3 level gem is now practically equal to the "30% elemental damage for socketed gems", so the helmets have about same number of damage supports.

+20% minion damage is nice boot for all minions and worth decent size passive. +40% damage to Specters would be optimal, as Flame Golems already get huge DPS boost from Harmonies, but Specs can still really use all increased damage they can get.

T1 life and reduced mana reservation makes it also optimal if you want to add Aspect of Spider to default variant and you don't have to get "Mana reservation reduced" -corrupt Harmonies for it.

I myself value defense bit higher as DPS is already very high, but physical damage enemies can still hit pretty hard if you get bad blocks. However any DPS oriented player would most likely pay from dozens to hundred exalts for it.

Hi :)

Yep, seems that flippers are focusing on minion gear this league as it's Necromancer oriented. I hope that prices keep dropping as league progresses.

Changed my slots a bit and must say i'm loving the new Zombies with "Feeding Frenzy" on it. Even with no proper supports to then, they still do a lot of damage and the permanent 10% more damage, 15% more movement speed and 15% more attack/cast speed buff for the whole team, really seems to help. And i just had to take off the "Storm Brand" so i could have enough slots to fit it all.

my almost pimped out animate guardian(lv:20+3+2) died to a 8 lane pump fight ._.

i used similar stuff except for
body(belly) + weap(dying breath)

will using pelt make a difference? or should i just desummon him when doing blight.

i did most of the guardians with him and it was fine.

Hi , in the Pledge Elementalist, what is better for bossing /mapping since i see the +3 golem amulet in POB and in boss videos theres is 4+1+1 with spectres.

And in general , if im using the +3 golem amulet do i still want 2 different golem in helm or just straight all fire golems ?

Hi folks, now I'm at 98.25 and trying to reach 100! With job, family and all will take a long time. But I love my pg.
Now the question. Until this time, I’ve played with this flask:
1 life flask with burning removal.
2 evasion flask (+3000 evasion) with freezing removal.
3 rumi’s concoction.
4 overflowing chalice.
5 onslaught flask with bleeding removal.

But I have some doubt, especially about the 5 flask. Onslaught is not really usefull with this build. So I thinking to replace it with a Witchfire Brew (+100 evasion rating) in order to increase my evasion rating (adding evasion flask +3000 evasion).

What do you thinking?

Hello :)

Yep, Zombies are legit support minions now. However I think that Feeding Frenzy is not global buff, but rather local for the minions that it is linked.

Wording "Minions from Supported Skills deal (15-24)% more Damage while you have Feeding Frenzy" sums it fo affect only minions that are linked to Feeding Frenzy.

Hey :)

R.i.p. you AG.

I'm sure that the problem was the amount of regen that AG had. The tree now grants only 1% regen, which can't regen damage fast enough in very long battles where AG takes constant damage through blocks.

Pelt gives AG 5% extra regen, making it heal 6x times faster in longer battles. Belly could work also, but you need to take extra regen from tree for minions.

Hi :)

The Elementalist with Golems and Tukohama Specters is from old setup. Pledge with Golems only is both tankier and deals more DPS than the old variant.

New and always latest PoB can be found under PASSIVES -> PLEDGE OF HANDS -ELEMENTALIST

Extra Golems are very useful when using Primordial Chain as they don't lower you Flame Golems number too much and actually boost their damage. They also give very strong protection with physical damage reduction and HP (or ES with Zealots Oath) regen. I can highly recommend using them especially with chance to blind as they raise your defenses even higher that way.

Gz on great progress! I'm slowly leveling my 97 to 98 myself and it can take some time if you don't have all day to play.

I just reworked the flask section thanks for my readers advice. New flasks can be found in the "Gear" part of the guide or on page "436" of the thread if your interested in checking them out.

"Witchfire Brew" seems like decent option. I guess it should not over-ride your curses, since they are in Blasphemy? Smoke clouds should be useful if you get ambushed by physical mobs.
