Only important roll is this one `Golems have (30-45)% increased Cooldown Recovery Speed`. It makes Carrion golems cascade faster. Rest of the mods on it does not really matter (Carrions never die so CD recovery for the skill itself matters only when you relog and have to resummon golems).

Alright, thank you very much, I swear this will be the last time I will bother you, for primordial eminence, is armor useful?

I don't mind that :d and nope, it isnt, only important roll there is attack speed.

this build is incredibly expensive!

Any budget animate guardian suggestions, please?

Well you dont really need the items that much to simply get this build going. For extra golems, Clayshapers instead of prim jewels, for AG Dying Breath/Leer Cast as helmet/weapon works just fine, and for gloves, even some regular glove with some life + corruption with curse works.

Hmmmm, so I was experimenting with non-baron version, and it does shitton of damage, but loses the zombie leech what is huge part of build's survivability:

I probably still like Baron way more, but this one has way easier gearing, so idk, I might update the build to it at some point if I will have some time to test it.

Alright so I did few guardian maps with new version without Baron without even changing gear and still running Mon'tregul's because I kind of enjoy it and damn carrions feel a lot better than with Baron (even though the survivability went down a bit, I can't just afk anymore on bosses and in Delve nodes).

So for now, here is kind of polished PoB for no-baron version: https://pastebin.com/assPTkJr

I also included Baron version as alternative setup (because for survivability that version is godly) and I will most likely be maintaining both.

I still need to update and add more leveling trees but after that I think build update should be ready.

Large build update:

So as promised, here are the changes:

- Removed Baron and strength stacking from main setup
- Grabbed some extra damage in main setup
- Added Baron and strength stacking version as separate setup
- Updated Leveling section with updated gems and golem progression
- Updated pros and cons based on tree changes
- Added Multistrike to both Raise Zombie and Carrion Golem setup

Thanks to these changes build cost for normal version goes down by quite a lot, we gain some extra damage for our minions and also some extra movement speed. I decided to also preserve baron version as it is still best for survivability and its good to have options.

Updated Pastebin is already in main post.

Another update:

- Replaced Combat Stamina life cluster with Tireless
- Changed jewellery to have minion movement speed crafts on it
- Added flask effect on belt
- Changed Experimenter's Granite flask to Alchemist's Granite flask

These changes grant us around 15% extra maximum life, 66% extra minion movement speed, 5% extra movement speed for us and around 3-4k extra armor. I replaced Experimenter Granite flask with Alchemist because we dont really care that much about it's uptime, we just care about pressing it and then pressing Vaal Molten Shell :)

Sorry for spam with updates lately, I am just trying to optimize the build even more, make it faster, more tanky and also get more damage :d And I think with some of the recent updates I did, I was pretty successful in achieving this.

Pastebin in main post is already updated.

So decided to record updated Minotaur vid with some increased life mods after I got some decent gear:

EDIT:

Also added Delve 200+ vid:

Thank you for being so active on your guide! It means we can learn from it without any information being outdated.

As a HC player, I assume the baron version is the best choice?
