Hello :)


Basically you can level up to Specters anyway you like. I recommend using SRS and Zombies as they scale nicely with early nodes and are very tanky with enough HP regen. After getting Specters and maybe Golems you have to focus on few points :

1) Stack EHP (HP + ES)
I have seen too many players with 10 ex worth Anima Stones and Sotls and still using lvl 30 rings with 20+ HP and some resitances. Trade aggressively for better jewelry every 5-10 level. Most jewelry costs 2-5c and will make huge difference in survival. Try to get high ES expecially in rings, amulet, belt (Crystal is best) and gloves.

Also craft something on every piece of gear with masters. Level Elreon, Haku and Tora as soon as possible.

2) Raise Temp Chains effect and radius as soon as possible
High level Temp Chains is propably best defense in the game against trash mobs. 20/0 TC and Blasphemy help a lot alone but you REALLY want quality on gems and "Enhance" with them to break TC. I don't recommend going for curse on hit -> Ball Lightning stuff as it leaves you open for surprise attacks.

3) Raise Golems level
Golems usefulness comes directly from their level. Each level gives Golems roughly 10% more DPS and HP, so try to get 21/0 Flame Golem gem and Empower 3 corrupted (both 10c in league in first week) and try to get Sotl 2r2g2b and link them there for extra levels. Golems will be almost immortal after that point and their damage will be huge. I dont never level Golems from 18->20 myself as they are weak at that point and upgrading straight to 21 costs 10c and gives 30% more DPS and HP.

4) Try to get t16+ tier Specters from someone as soon as you can enter maps

Prioritize 1-3) in the order you feel that is lacking most at any point. That should give you smooth sailing up to T16 maps ;)

Thanks a lot for the follow up. Will you update the guide for 3.3 ?
I will be off-work on patch day and will try to level as fast as i can.

from the patch notes. does this mean i should divine my jewels when the patch is out? this is a buff?

Golem Skills have (20-30)% increased Cooldown Recovery Speed
Golems have (10-15)% increased Cooldown Recovery Speed

in 3.2: 30+15=45% to golems (supposed to be just 15) and 30% to golem skills.
in 3.3: 45% to golems and 30% to golem skills. So basically the same, just properly working.
the 3.2 ones will be "fixed" and will only have 15% cooldown (not 45%).

before Bestiary leage Mark_GGG say about nerf CD for golem skills becouse this jewell bugged.
if this true we have nerf for golems ability CD.

"Primordial Harmony: Now grants your golems 30-45% increased cooldown recovery speed, to compensate for a bug that was fixed. Existing versions of this jewel can be updated with a Divine Orb."

and

"Fixed a bug where stats added to a skill by skill-specific mods would be copied to minions created by that skill. This caused a variety of unintended effects, the most notable of which was the cooldown modifier to Golem skills found on the unique jewel Primordial Harmony. In addition to its regular effect, the cooldown modifier was carried through to the Golem's cooldown skills, lowering those cooldowns as well."

As a result, golems will be much less likely to cast their own abilities

Look like huge nerf for golems build. im right or not?

Hello :)

Earlier it was posted that Golems were affected by the cooldown bug only occasionally. This means that most of us might have always had non-bugged version of cooldown reduction.

Since they will buff harmonies equal to value that they will remove with 3.3, all new Harmonies will be actually better since you are 100% guaranteed to get the buffed cooldown reduction. This is slight buff, since all players are now getting the 45% cooldown reduction instead of some players with bugged configs.

Elemental Equilibrium is still the same. No change to EE triggering skills.

Dyadus got nerfed, so Animate Guardians gear set will remain the same.

New "Combustion" gem look promising and worth testing instead of Controlled Destruction. This might be also slight buff to total damage as Tukohama Vanguards and Flame Golems will both apply different fire res debuffs.

2x Slight buffs and no nerfs this time. Seems like GGG is pretty happy with Golems cost <-> effectiveness :)

*FIXED*

Hello :)

The wording is pretty dodgy.

If Player gets the extra cooldown reduction, it will be nerf.

If Golems gets the extra cooldown reduction, it will be buff.

However it was posted earlier that only some setups had the bug. It's hard to say how many setups were ever affected it in the first place. If players get the cooldown reduction, it might still be that most of us wont even notice the "nerf" as we never had the bug in the first place.

Golem Skills have (20-30)% increased Cooldown Recovery Speed
Golems have (10-15)% increased Cooldown Recovery Speed
(16-20)% increased Golem Damage for each Type of Golem you have Summoned
Golems regenerate 2% of their Maximum Life per second
