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

Is there a way I can work in frenzy charge generation somehow? I'd really like to extend the time I'm using Phase Run.

Edit: I guess a better question would be is there a way to gain frenzy charges without having to use Necromantic Aegis and Victario's Charity?

Started leveling my Golemelementalist ;)
Short question about empower: is empower 3 worth it? Because the builder says dpswise Elemental Focus would be stronger. But of course the Golems would lose some HP.
An empower 4 is nothing i'll get in the near future. :-/

Leveling till 38 was a bit annoying. At 38 i did the swap to flamegolems (3 golems at that time). Malachai was easypeasy. Right now i'm 43 and so i already have 4 Golems. Guess today i'll do lab and get my 5th Golem <3

Runs smooth now!

You seem to be using Elemental Focus and Combustion together at the moment. Combustion applies the -19 Fire res debuff to enemies ignited and elemental focus stops you causing elemental ailments such as ignite! You'd be better off switching elemental focus to controlled destruction for the timebeing. Or taking out combustion then you can use controlled destruction and elemental focus together. I think Combustion starts becoming a bigger deal when you have TV Spectres as the golems will strip the fire res for the TV's. The TV's are fine to use elemental Focus rather than combustion. I don't think you would ever want Combustion and Elemental Focus in the same links.

I would think a lvl 3 enlighten becomes more beneficial if you have a Skin of the Lords or a +1 Tabula. For your basic tabula then just use whatever gives the best PoB DPS.

Hi Mika,

Thx for the Invite - I joined this morning. Look forward to catching you online sometime soon! :)

Yes i know. That's why i asked that question ;) It sounds weird but the builder says Elemental Focus is the most effective (yep, against unignited enemies)
(only Empower 4 gives 2k more DPS 169k against 167k with Ele Foc+No Ignite, tested on the Elementalist Builder pastebin https://pastebin.com/r7PbJbxb )


edit: Looks like i made a mistake. Controlled Destruction is a bit ahead if i add that ignite dps to the total dps.
Will swap that gem :)

Hello :)

You can't really gain frenzy charges easily expect maybe "Doedre's Elixir" but it comes with hefty price.

However you can increase Phase Runs duration :
- You can link Phase Run -> Increased duration -> Efficacy
- You can take "Mistress of Sacrifice" as Necro Ascendancy (30% skill duration)
- You can take "Potency of Will" for 3x nodes (45% skill duration)
- Quality on increased duration also helps
- You can stay closer to minions to gain more charges from them. (recommended only when you have high enough Temporal Chains, works only with Necro Aegis + Charity)

Hey and welcome to Golemancy :)

I recommend Empower as it makes sure that Golems stay alive in all fight and there's never a reason to resummon them. Turning auras off to summon Golems can get annoying really fast. Empower also makes sure that Golems don't kill themselves as easily in elemental reflect maps or atziri fights. Empower is much better in Skin of the Loyal or +1 Tabula as DrHarvey mentioned.

While leveling, you can use both cont dest and ele focus if you want maximal damage. However once you get Tukohama Specters you should use Combustion as it applies the -20% fire res debuff for Tukohamas also. Ele focus prevents ignites totally, making Combustion useless.

Welcome to the guild Harvey and see you in game ;)

I rolled my first golemancer this league. I should've looked for hints in this thread more recently than, say, two months ago. My Occultist version is encountering problems, some more easily remedied by switching gems and some arising from choice of ascendancy. Not that I need any specific help, I'm learning a lot from the thread itself. I should maybe implement some support minions, and CI might have been too ambitious.

I got myself a lucky, or perhaps unlucky, 6-link in an early Delve.

+1 to Fire gems has been nice but avoiding low mana is such a hassle. I should be switching soon, probably.

By the way, you might want to edit this:

4 Link Winter Orb

Socketed : Gloves

Winter Orb

Winter Orb
"Channeling" Spell that casts projectiles with cold damage. Casts any spell linked to it with "Cast while Channeling" support gem. Can be leveled to 20/20 as mana cost is same on each level.

Winter Orb hits enemies with lightning damage. This will trigger :


Elemental Equilibrium
- "Enemies you hit with Elemental Damage temporarily get +25% Resistance to those Elements and -50% Resistance to other Elements"

Which means that when we hit enemies with lightning damage, enemies get +25% to lightning resistance for next hit we will make to them, but will lose -50% fire and cold resistance for 5 seconds. Our Golems make pure fire damage, so they get free 50% more damage boost for 5 seconds.

Minions DON'T trigger Elemental Equilibrium so the -50% fire resistance will remain for full 5 seconds

Winter Orb probably deals cold damage, unless I'm missing something significant. Also, with other resistance debuffs present EE isn't quite 50% more damage.

Hey :)

If you leveled with Occultist straight from the start not using other minions and CI you had really rough start. It's pretty smooth to level using Necro with Specters and Zombies and then swap to other Ascendancies later. I would strongly recommend trying pseudo 6-link Tukohama Specters even now especially as your Occultist, as that Ascendancy has weakest Golems damage by itself.

Gz on the Infernal Mantle links. Brings back memories from old setup few years ago. Low mana is pretty hard to avoid, so switching to Skin of the Loyal will be noticeable upgrade.

Thanks for the tip! I fixed the damage element type and EEs damage bonus :)

Actually I levelled with Freezing Pulse and switched to golems soon after getting that Mantle. I think I was around level 70-80. I had planned from the start to have golems as my long-term goal and the chest nudged me to make the switch. At the time I reasoned that a 6-linked +1 Fire chest would carry me even if I couldn't get my whole tree to a minion setup immediately.

I'm considering spectres, but honestly I'm too lazy to adjust my setups :) I'll get to it eventually. PoB'ing an EB+MoM setup is probably what I should do first.

Hi
sorry, noob question.
How many HP and ES i must have (and where to take it) to stop be a glass char and dont die after every second touch?
Its pretty annoying, after im starting farm red maps.

I have around 9K right now and pretty much only die to T16 bosses/Elder(not deep enough delve to be dying yet). I had around 11K EHP last league with near maxed chaos res as well and then I only died to deep delve(600+), mino boss, and uber elder.

I died a lot more before switching to Occ, but you do lose a lot of minion damage by doing that too.

You could prob look into upgrading your gloves to full ES gloves, and then grab some +1 Max spec sorcerer boots as well to help your EHP a lot.
