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

Feel really weird saying this, but convocation has become one of my most used buttons now. I was not here when they changed it(Abyss was my last league with golems), but was so surprised when I found out it is an instant skill now.
I believe during Abyss I had it linked to cast when damage taken, but with it being instant and such a low cool down now with Invoker, I'm really loving it. Also, I've got three specs this time instead of two. Went to fight Hydra, got in a constant close call situation where I kept almost dying for about 25 seconds straight at the start of the battle, because of my own dumb positioning, and just when I finally thought "OK, almost back to full ES" heard the Hydra die... that's so insane how fast the vanguards kill him with an extra one this league. Edit: Wow, I've been looking for a melee splash clayshaper for animate guardian all league, after not seeing one I look it up, they got rid of that corruption it looks like, unless I'm just missing it on the wiki.

Oh wow that helmet is sick, but I really love temporal chains- something about seeing syndicates leap at me in slow motion only to die in the air xD.
Since I prefer my temporal chains helmet, would near capped temporal chains be a big enough defense boost to warrant the use of Victario's Charity + Necromatic Aegis? I've ran it through PoB and I would go from 11.5k ES/H to 10k. I haven't died in a while and since syndicates were nerfed do you still think it'd be a good idea?

If you're leveling funded, it's far from a struggle to get this or similar builds rolling. Oddly enough, without any supporting nodes really, I've had the easiest time leveling ever (except when night's hold didn't require level 25 or when legacy facebreakers were just facebreakers)!
The basic gist is don't level as a pure summoner. Summon whatever you can, but level as if you are a 2-Handed Melee character. Use smite and holy relic. I run around one-shotting blue-packs, and minions do clean-up and blocking. Not that any blocking is needed, because holy relic keeps me topped off in health without touching my potions. Yes, even dealing with syndicates. |

I'm having some issues with T10+ Maps. I've done a Burial Chambers T11 map and with 4 golems and 2 specters it took me around 5-6 min to kill the last boss. I've never had any issues with damage on golem builds, I used to play Elementalist on other leagues and with 4-1-1-1 everything was melting until Uber Elder. I also seem to have a dps issue with the Syndicate trash, mainily on fortress of T10+ Maps.
My char's name is _Chesu_ can you take a look and tell me what I'm doing wrong ? It's still a new char and I don't have the currency for skin of the loyal or a nice helmet, also the gems are at around lvl 18 |

" One default, one from clayshaper, and two from The Anima Stone(first is just given, second one you have to have three other primordial jewels equipped.) |
|
" I think actually, you need to level up your gems since their damage will upgrade with higher levels |
|
|
Since you are using phase run, instead of shield charge now. Would you still get the gem slot by Necromantic Aegis with the Attack Speed?

well now i'm confused what the best Necro / Occult / Elementalist» ?

" I will recommends you read two sections of the guide... First post see
PASSIVES
ALTERNATIVE FINAL TREE AS OCCULTIST
Occultist got changed to also support minions with her nodes now. While not adding direct damage to minions, the nodes are very useful as utility and high level minions deal enough damage even without Necromancer minion damage nodes. Benefits from changing Ascendancy to Occultist are : Profane Bloom and Malediction side - 16% increased energy shield Nice buff to ES - +25% effectiveness of curses With inserting 20/20 Temporal Chains, 20/20 Blasphemy and lvl 4 Enhance in "+1 level to Gems" item, effectiveness is enough to reach reach -75% Temporal chains cap without ANY curse effectiveness nodes from tree. No need to farm Lab for helmet enhancement. - Your curses can apply to hexproof enemies This stops almost any non-boss pack or enemies being able to kill us when Temporal Chains is at max level and active - Cursed enemies you or your minions kill have 25% chance to explode, dealing a quarter of their maximum life as chaos damage Golems have already greatest coverage with huge, overlapping Magma Balls. Now they can start carpet bombing enemies whole pack will be covered with Balls and enemies can explode in one big bang after first of the pack dies. This is Herald for minion. - Enemies can have 1 additional curse This saves 3x skill tree nodes as build is running 2x active curse - Enemies you curse have Malediction 10% less damage taken and minions will do 10% increased damage to enemies. Nice bonus to survival against bosses. Wicked Ward and Vile Bastion side - 16% increased energy shield & 30% faster ES recharge rate Nice buff to ES - 250 flat ES Builds default armor "Skin Of The Loyal" has line "100% increased Global Defences". This works with the added ES and increases it even further - Energy shield recharge is not interrupted by damage if recharge began recently Massive quality of life node. With faster recharge rate from smaller nodes, this means that ES regens almost as reliably as HP - 1% of energy shield regenerated per second for each enemy you or your minion has killed recently, up to 30% This means 10-30% ES regen per second while clearing even as moderate speed. ES will be full almost all time while clearing maps. - Cannot be stunned while you have energy shield Presence of Chayula will still probably be the best amulet for the build, but this helps a lot while still saving for it. Now Bisco farmers can run without fear of stun and not taking anti-stun Pahtheon. Golems damage actually scales more with Primordial Harmonies, than with minion damage from tree. While Necromancers Ascendancy tree gives them roughly 20% more damage, the extra effect from curses with Occultist may easily replace it against non-boss enemies. Build can still run 2-3x Tukohama Vanguard -Specters for extra boss kill damage even if not using Necromancer.  Skill-tree https://tinyurl.com/y97pm543 Changes from Necromancer final free

ALTERNATIVE FINAL TREE AS ELEMENTALIST
As Elementalist build can drop quite a bit of Defenses as chance to block is significantly lower than with Necromancers Bone Offering and "Mistress of Sacrifice". Necromantic Aegis is taken to give charge generating for Golems. Specters are still used as they are best at boss killing with their massive single target damage. However in helmet we need "Minion Life support" and "Minion Damage Support" as Specters have less life than with Necromancer. All minion resistance nodes can't be dropped as Animate Guardian would drop below capped, and I dont recommend dropping Animate Guardian since its "6% area health regen per second" on block keeps Specters alive very well. However the rare jewel with minion elemental resistances can be dropped for Primordial harmony. 4x Flame Golems, 1x Ice Golem, 1x Lightning Golem, 2x Specters and 1x Animate Guardian  Skill-tree https://tinyurl.com/ybhc62gb
Path Of Building https://pastebin.com/bByCbGgB This variant is more defense oriented. Damage is still very high, but it adds immunities to freeze, chill, burn, shock and bleeding while also adding chance to blind for 2x Golems and "Elemental Equilibrium" triggering "Ball Lightning" skill. Variant requires more changes to gear and has higher starting cost, but has excellent balance between damage and survival when everything is set. Bandits
