[3.13] Hemz [CI] Carrion Me Daddy Golems with 83/88/84/100 resistances 10M DPS

Divergent Determination now grants you and nearby allies 0.1% of evasion rating as extra armour per 1% gem quality (from 0.5% per 1% gem quality).

So..... from 10% to 2%.


They didn't just nerf alternate quality.

They nuked it from orbit.

My aura stacking necro was the funnest character I've ever played in POE. I am not sure if I will even play this league, no clue what my new starting build will be. GGG is getting roasted for their patch notes right now.

So I just took a look at the patch notes.
They overly nerfed the alternative qualities to the point that some might still work with auras but most of them now are irrelevant for any other builds lol.

Also I think they forgot to mention they nerfed the replenishing notable, or else it would be really funny now First among equals has exactly the same aura effect of Replenishing presence.

There is still one way to make a semi tanky witch and that would require the use of a skin of lords with iron reflexes.

this was a very old build version I tried, it's not amazing but not bad.
It demands for RMR on every jewel (except clusters) which is not cheap either.
T15 100% was a struggle, and now with even less DPS I'm not sure how it'll do.

I lowered the aura effect to simulate 6%->3% , by removing some passives
stalwart loss of 10% so you can simulate that by removing another replenishing node.
and you can still get about 8k ES with about 5m sDPS per golem with 4 golems.
(patch note mentioned about 20% loss in dps for them)
DPS may drop less cause I'm not sure how impale affects this build's DPS.

Honestly I don't think 20m sDPS is worth it at the price tag, sure it will skill be kinda tanky but I'm sure with the same level of investment or less there are bigger and better things to try.

As for spectres, they basically made it into a 5link only skill.
Cause it's like dropping a lvl4 empower gem for these spectres.
And now maybe Crabbies will be the new meta spectres for endagme.
(They buffed phantasmal desecrate wut)


Anyways it's obvious GGG just really wants people to steer away from the meta and go try other things.

Just want to say thanks to everyone who was involved in this build. I had a lot of fun with it in Heist, and it got me my first level 100. It doesn't look like we'll even be able to visit the character in the retirement home of standard, but at least we had some good times!

It was good and we pushed it big!
Thanks for the fun, it was a blast!
Time to find/create another OP build it seems ;)

I think the spectre version is dead on arrival.

However the carrion golem version will still be viable, and I think the stone golem elementalist version might even be buffed slightly (because of ascendancy buff)

In short, if you liked the playstyle, and want to stick to minions, I think elementalist golems is the way forward.

Is Carrion Golem version SSF HC viable?:D

Just wanted to thank everyone that worked on this build. I'm a casual player and was able to get my first ever level 100 character in standard without those alternative gems.

Thanks

weird, on pob shows only 3k ES, any1 know the reason?

In 3.13 this build is dead???
