low knot
#

read above^^

#

i asked the same^^

fleet garden
#

oh my bad xD i was scrolling up

lucid stone
#

That's 40% phys reduction with chaos golems

autumn snow
#

@shrewd gyro it's not worth it

#

still

shrewd gyro
#

lvl 22 chaos golem is 5%, so you can get over 50% phys reduction

autumn snow
#

we get like double of our current golem effect

shrewd gyro
#

with just one chaos golem

autumn snow
#

I am going from 285% to 560%

low knot
#

guess i ahve to wait until WED to know what cyclone i should chose. and i did searching for a berserker cyclone cause it was recommended, but there seems to be only ONE @patent canyon

autumn snow
#

no wait

#

forgot to add nodes

#

285 to 630!

#

with small nodes

#

the fuck

shrewd gyro
#

when you say nodes do you mean jewels?

rustic sentinel
#

Wait tank golemancer?

autumn snow
#

new golem nodes

#

only that

rustic sentinel
#

1 chaos 1 stone

#

Jugmancer

autumn snow
#

70% from nodes and 250% from elemancer

#
  • two eminence
shrewd gyro
#

yea, stone would be around 1300k regen per second if you invest in eminence jewels

autumn snow
#

70+250+60+250

#

around 11% phys reduction to 25%

shrewd gyro
#

you can now get 11 golems max

lucid stone
#

What about carrion golems tho

shrewd gyro
#

and helm enchant for 100% buff effect on a golem of your choice

#

@lucid stone that's what I'm excited about

autumn snow
#

661 life regen templarLul

shrewd gyro
#

I really hope it's a good phys dmg buff increase

fleet garden
#

They didn't show any enchant on CL / PS etc 😢

rustic sentinel
#

Wasn’t there a build that got crazy life regen off stone golems?

shrewd gyro
#

I assume they did something similar with buff effect + increased life recovery + high level gem

autumn snow
#

you can get 650+ with normal golem setup after patch

rustic sentinel
#

650 isn’t crazy though but it’s good enough to give up a slot I think

autumn snow
#

it's "free" regen

#

you're going to use stone golem anyway

shrewd gyro
#

I'd throw it in a redblade band so the golem taunts and is +3 to its level

autumn snow
#

went from 230 to 600+

shrewd gyro
#

127 base life regen at lvl 24

autumn snow
#

hm

#

could use empower

shrewd gyro
#

Yea, would depend on how myuch you want to invest

autumn snow
#

800 regen with stone 21+3

shrewd gyro
#

wouldn't in your tree it be 127 * 7.3?

autumn snow
#

630%

shrewd gyro
#

630 buff effect would be times 7.3

autumn snow
#

oh yeah

#

forgot the base

#

927

#

29% physical reduction

shrewd gyro
#

yes so in your tree with that ring, a slotted chaos golem would be 36.5 phys reduction

autumn snow
#

well yeah

shrewd gyro
#

the phys reduction is 5% base at lvl 22

autumn snow
#

but I put my other golems in a tanky setup

#

minion life/empower/meat shield?

shrewd gyro
#

empower would put them to 22 tho right?

#

same deal

autumn snow
#

24 with empower 4 :/

#

a bit excessive yeah

#

oh wait

#

chaos golem grants 5% at 22+

shrewd gyro
#

right..

autumn snow
#

36% physical reduction

shrewd gyro
#

isn't that what I've been saying? lol

autumn snow
#

yeah

shrewd gyro
#

that's crazy when you think of how little investment that is gear-wise

#

anything that would give +1 on a 21 golem would be a 5% base

autumn snow
#

soul of steel node for 36+5

#

ezi 41% physical reduction

#

and now we can target mobs

#

finally

#

ice golems vs boss with multiple trash mobs = annoying af

shrewd gyro
#

all the other golems really give buffs to you as a character dmg wise

autumn snow
#

their targetting is rettarded

shrewd gyro
#

I wonder if it's now viable to deal dmg yourself as a golemancer

#

ice golem - 219% crit chance and accuracy

autumn snow
#

imagine the 80% more dmg with carrion buffed with 630%

shrewd gyro
#

I don't think the more dmg is a buff effect?

rustic sentinel
#

Golemancer best Spectre zombie minion build?

autumn snow
#

sadly

shrewd gyro
#

it sounds like it's flat phys tho

autumn snow
#

it is

shrewd gyro
#

so could still be good

autumn snow
#

no matter how much

#

it will be strong

#

20 flat * 7.3

shrewd gyro
#

yea

autumn snow
#

huge buffs for ice golems

shrewd gyro
#

73% increased attack and cast speed with one lightning golem

#

146% increased damage with one flame golem

#

like really, you could just make golems support and you'd have a really viable build

autumn snow
#

all eminence?

shrewd gyro
#

tbf, you'd probably remove clayshaper for a better weapon, so -2 golems

#

yea

#

like take one of each golem, this can give you without eminences about:
219% crit chance and accuracy
146% increased damage
73% increased attack and cast speed
900 life regen
36% phys reductions

  • whatever the carrion golem will give
#

just get minion damage in the passive tree and get the node that applies it to you

clear adder
#

Wait, what are these golem numbers from

shrewd gyro
#

elementalist got buffed, 50% golem effect per golem if the leaks stay accurate

autumn snow
#

it's only 30% per jewel

#

better use jewel for dmg

shrewd gyro
#

agreed

clear adder
#

JFC

#

That is nuts

shrewd gyro
#

there will def be some balance between dmg and the golem bonuses

mental apex
#

It would be hysterical if this passive tree is inaccurate because somebody made it to meme 😅

autumn snow
#

I still think it's not worth it

shrewd gyro
#

it's been right up till now

autumn snow
#

it's like doing normal build with extra steps

shrewd gyro
#

and the devs admitted it was real on baeclast

#

what else can get 40% reduction though besides jugg?

autumn snow
#

other than that

#

you have to maintain golems alive without the regen jewels

shrewd gyro
#

at the very least, golemancers got a lot tankier

clear adder
#

is it only the golem node that is getting buffed for elementalist?

shrewd gyro
#

no, beacon of ruin got 30% increased effect non damaging ailments

clear adder
#

Can I get a link to the leak?

shrewd gyro
#

they also changed that golem node so that 3 golems is full ele immunity

undone timber
#

full ele ailment inmunity

shrewd gyro
#

right ^ my b

#

Oh, I just noticed that perfect agony is now 50% of crit multi instead of 30%

autumn snow
#

yeah

shrewd gyro
#

Did they actually balance poison?

autumn snow
#

they want people to do poison crit

#

they added a bunch of dot multi

#

also dot multi on crit

shrewd gyro
#

all of that's added together additively right?

autumn snow
#

yeah

#

it's a multiplier than stacks with itself

#

most (or all?) non-ailment chaos multi are now chaos multi

teal axle
#

I wonder if "every golem build" would be viable to still do something selfcast

shrewd gyro
#

I want that as a league start, but I just know those fossils will be hella expensive

#

corroded?

rugged locust
#

how's perfect agony gonna be?

autumn snow
#

no wait

#

ALL non-ailment chaos multi are now chaos multi

rugged locust
#

I don't think they said all of them

shrewd gyro
#

oh, perfect agony adds to the dot multi, so it's not a straight up more

autumn snow
#

I don't see any here

rugged locust
#

I thought they were adding some to certain poison nodes and probably changing right side chaos nacdot to just dot multi

autumn snow
#

they swapped non-ailment chaos multi to chaos multi

#

added dot multi and poison multi

shrewd gyro
#

bleeding looks like it will be sweet. They buffed that a lot without saying much

autumn snow
#

oh

#

I see

#

bleeding multi

shrewd gyro
#

more importantly, bleeding faster

#

15% 15% 10% 5% nodes are on the tree

autumn snow
#

any new one?

shrewd gyro
#

Oh, they must have been added in 3.7 and I didn't notice. My bad

autumn snow
#

I only see a new node

#

red storm

shrewd gyro
#

Yea, just the bleeding dot multis were added

autumn snow
#

red storm

teal axle
#

Im half tempted to do a golemancer this league because it might be cheap marauderthinking

shrewd gyro
#

golemancer is never cheap league start

teal axle
#

I mean

shrewd gyro
#

ppl always go for the amy and maces asap

teal axle
#

I leaguestarted mjolner jugg

#

this past league

#

the strugglebus aint no big thang

autumn snow
#

you can try farming the primordial dc

shrewd gyro
#

As long as you are okay with the struggle haha

wet plaza
#

those barely drop

shrewd gyro
#

but if you want to map day one it could be tough

autumn snow
#

:/

teal axle
#

like you only need a single clayshaper, its mostly the jewels and primordial chain

wet plaza
#

tried farming grotto for them 50 maps 0 drops

#

\o

teal axle
#

Shado this would be like

#

maps by day 7

autumn snow
#

dem

teal axle
#

I aint got time to grind this league

autumn snow
#

that sucks

shrewd gyro
#

haha, fair enough

lament zodiac
#

wait

#

where is the elementalist leak?

autumn snow
#

tree leak

wet plaza
#

which leak

autumn snow
#

someone leaked tree lua

wet plaza
#

Yes but they didnt do much if anything to ele afaik

autumn snow
#

they added 25% inc buff effect per summoned golem

shrewd gyro
#

and 30% ele ailment effect on beacon

autumn snow
#

+1 golem nodes

lament zodiac
#

I didn't see anything and I looked? can you be more specific?

high ember
#

guys for crit builds, daggers or claws

lament zodiac
#

Tree lua?

autumn snow
lament zodiac
#

ooo

shrewd gyro
#

claws will be the easiest on low budget

#

just go wasp nests

autumn snow
#

we still have 25% from liege

hollow talon
#

Oh huh, you get 3 golems by default now

#

Works much better on low budget

shrewd gyro
#

3?

#

isn't it 1 + 1 from the node?

hollow talon
#

Isn't there a notable on the actual tree

#

That gives +1 golem

shrewd gyro
#

oh, are you including the elementalist nodes?

hollow talon
#

Yeah

shrewd gyro
#

4 golems with the elementalist nodes

autumn snow
#

default is 1

#

+1 from node

#

+2 from elementalist

hollow talon
#

Oh it's still 2 from elementalist

shrewd gyro
#

yea, one per ascendency notable

hollow talon
#

Sounds like Elementalist for low budget, respec to Necro once you have the Clayshapers

teal axle
#

eh

autumn snow
#

big no with the current changes

teal axle
#

20% golem damage per golem

shrewd gyro
#

elementalist will always be the best golemancer really

teal axle
#

when you have 10 or 11 golems

#

lol

shrewd gyro
#

way too many buffs there

hollow talon
#

Without any uniques you go from 2 golems to 4 with Elementalist

autumn snow
#

500% buff effect from elementalist 👀

hollow talon
#

+100% more

lament zodiac
#

Wait so thats the change to elemancer?

hollow talon
#

Wait what

shrewd gyro
#

25% buff effect per golem

hollow talon
#

Oh lol nvm

shrewd gyro
#

and +1 golem on the tree

hollow talon
#

Elementalist all the way then

lament zodiac
#

so elemenacer loses cannot be frozen/shocked/ignited

shrewd gyro
#

and full ele ailment immunity with 3 golems

autumn snow
#

we current have 25%

#

now we have extra 25%

teal axle
#

hmm

#

ice golem vs fire golem

lament zodiac
#

but gains 25% more buff effect per golem?

autumn snow
#
  • 70% with notable + small nodes of +1 golem
#

@lament zodiac no

midnight kraken
#

Any new leaks?

#

in past 24h?

shrewd gyro
#

@lament zodiac with both ascendancy notables, you get 50% buff effect per golem

autumn snow
#

you'll avoid ALL elemental ailments no matter the golem type now

shrewd gyro
#

so 11 golems = 550% buff effect

lament zodiac
#

@shrewd gyro yeah I saw that

#

ah thats on another node?

autumn snow
#

wrong cake templarLul

lament zodiac
#

oops 😛

#

The cake is a lie

shrewd gyro
#

It's on the elemancer node

autumn snow
#

check elemancer

lament zodiac
#

oh shit

#

so 3 golems = no elemental ailments

#

got it

midnight kraken
#

Actually

#

Reaching that node gives you max 3 golems

#

so uh

shrewd gyro
#

yea, full ele ailment immunity with no other investment, noice

lament zodiac
#

so basically elemancer is acutally just straight up made better by primordials

#

but not reliant on them

shrewd gyro
#

eeh

autumn snow
#

what do you mean?

lament zodiac
#

the jeweles for elemental golemist were basically required

autumn snow
#

they still are

lament zodiac
#

yes but no where near as much

autumn snow
#

you want that cooldown recovery %

#

it's a must

shrewd gyro
#

^

lament zodiac
#

Not if you just want the powerful buffs for yourself

autumn snow
#

eh

shrewd gyro
#

debatable

autumn snow
#

very

#

golems die very fast

shrewd gyro
#

there could be better investment elsewhere with 4 ascendancy nodes

#

You'd still need to invest as a golemancer imo

lament zodiac
#

I feel like GGG just went "Lets make all the ascendancies super fucking tanky"

autumn snow
#

you either go full primordial for the huge cooldown % and regen or you don't use it at all

lament zodiac
#

"This wont be a fucking RIP league my boys"

autumn snow
#

it's a big ass buff for golem buffs

midnight kraken
#

48h(when empyrean gets HH) RIP league my boys

shrewd gyro
#

yea, you also won't need primordial might anymore for agressiveness

lament zodiac
#

You will if you want to save a gem slot I suppose

shrewd gyro
#

depending on how good mark for death/ the support gem is *

lament zodiac
#

Depends how much damage frenzy gem really is

autumn snow
#

I think death mark will be must

#

should give good dmg

hollow talon
#

It's 1 might and as many Harmonies as you can find right

autumn snow
#

you want a few eminence

hollow talon
#

Actually is the Might even necessary anymore

autumn snow
#

2-3 normally

shrewd gyro
#

Yea, no matter how you look at it, golems got way stronger

hollow talon
#

With Feeding Frenzy giving them Aggressive

shrewd gyro
#

isn't that a support gem though?

autumn snow
#

yep

shrewd gyro
#

if it isn't good dmg, then I'd rather use a jewel slot than a gem slot

hollow talon
#

You're still gonna want it probably

autumn snow
#

the only must gem for ice golems is multistrike

shrewd gyro
#

their cyclone isn't aoe?

autumn snow
#

tbh

#

I am not sure

#

pob says yes

shrewd gyro
#

"Snowman Roll: Attack skill similar to Whirling Blades that leaves chilled ground, 100% physical, supported by melee supports."

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

teal axle
#

I wonder

midnight kraken
#

multistrike

#

lul

teal axle
#

if carrion golems will be better than ice or flame

hollow talon
#

Multistrike doesn't affect their ranged attack though does it

lament zodiac
#

Indeed carrion might be the replacer for ice

teal axle
#

because then you probably

hollow talon
#

I don't think Carrion will be very good in golemancer

autumn snow
#

multistrike definitely works with cyclone

hollow talon
#

Since it scales off of nearby non-golem minions

teal axle
#

we dont know its base stats and attack patterns

shrewd gyro
#

We just don't know enough at this point..

autumn snow
#

I mean ice golem rolling skill

teal axle
#

is the thing

lament zodiac
#

but they are probably mostly if not all physical

teal axle
#

I think ice is generally better than fire

lucid stone
#

How's this tree for a LL miner?

autumn snow
#

they are all physical, minus the projectile attack

#

which is pure cold iirc

lament zodiac
#

I mean carrion cake

autumn snow
#

oh

#

carrion should be pure physical

midnight kraken
#

What are we getting today? Development manifesto?

deep wave
#

yes

midnight kraken
#

neat

lament zodiac
#

they look like they have a movement skill, a ground slam and also some sort of cleave

shrewd gyro
#

you think it's worth using those gloves for ele equilibrium?

deep wave
#

anyone wants the leaked .lua file?

lament zodiac
#

or alter them for 4 whites chaos conversion? 😄

#

@deep wave yes please 😄

deep wave
#

sec

lament zodiac
#

Can you just put it into PoB?

midnight kraken
#

If my hands will be in reach of 100% phys-chaos convert for minions, I'll definitly try doing vendigo spectres lol

lament zodiac
#

Or do I need a computing degree to work it out?

autumn snow
#

you just have to replace a file

#

x: > ProgramData > Path of Building > TreeData > 3_7

lament zodiac
#

autumn snow
#

programdata is a hidden folder

runic fractal
#

You don't really need to go through programdata

deep wave
#

you do

#

to replace the tree.lua file

runic fractal
#

I didn't.
Unless you install the application, over just downloading the Rar?

autumn snow
#

you can do the same with the master file

#

forget

runic fractal
autumn snow
#

you don't even need that

#

it's the same thing

shrewd gyro
#

Oh man, I forgot about the new minion wand too

autumn snow
#

can't beat clayshaper + victario

runic fractal
#

Wand might, if it can roll some good mods, like +1 golem

shrewd gyro
#

I mean, one more golem when you have 9 isn't much more damage

#

I'm sure there will be a wand that you can craft for over 10/15% more dmg

autumn snow
#

another golem type can be more than that

shrewd gyro
#

+1 golem mod would be crazy

hollow talon
#

Going from 9 golems to 10 is still 11% more damage

shrewd gyro
#

I'm not that hopeful lol

deep wave
#

the 3 golems nodes are pretty good

shrewd gyro
#

really depends how you invest

deep wave
#

70% inc buff effect, 39% golem life,+1 golem

runic fractal
#

Clayshaper has +1 golem, that's why i'm saying, if that wand can have that too, it'd beat clayshaper

hollow talon
#

I mean the additional golem itself is just 11% more right off the bat

#

Going from 9 to 10

#

10 to 11 is 10% more, 11 to 12 is ~9% more, etc

deep wave
#

Why use primodial chains then? are you loosing dps?

autumn snow
#

adding carrion should give more than that

hollow talon
#

And with the % increased damage per golem, a Convoking Wand is highly unlikely to make a dent in your % increased

deep wave
#

carrion does not buff golems

shrewd gyro
#

"8 additional minion modifiers" assume that doesn't include same modifiers with the different tiers

autumn snow
#

meh

#

true

shrewd gyro
#

we saw movement speed, damaga and +1 all minions on the preview they gave us

#

I can see it being comparable

lament zodiac
#

holyshit this is amazing

shrewd gyro
#

% damage as an element would be amazing, I am not that hopeful, but... 😄

hollow talon
#

10/10 strat though: Run MI golems

lament zodiac
#

MI stone golems?

hollow talon
#

Probably Carrion

#

Stones give themselves regen iirc

quiet geyser
#

stone also gives regen to player right?

shrewd gyro
#

yea

hollow talon
#

Yeah

#

This is assuming Infernal Legion doesn't suck at killing your minions

quiet geyser
#

but isnt that the point?

lament zodiac
#

Ah whoops so basically whichever of Chaos or Carrion has most hp for popcorn golems

quiet geyser
#

The Amulet + infernal legion and stack life and dmg

hollow talon
#

Who knows

quiet geyser
#

srs

shrewd gyro
#

I think the spectre base will always be above the golem base life

lament zodiac
#

but spectres are annoying to summon

shrewd gyro
#

you also can't forget that golem skills have cooldowns to summon a golem

hollow talon
#

GGG might pull a derp and make it more based on the fire aoe damage with the -%hp degen as a minor downside

shrewd gyro
#

I don't think MI will be good here

autumn snow
#

infernal flat dmg instead of % templarLul

hollow talon
autumn snow
#

wouldn't be surprised

#

you can get insane life spectres

shrewd gyro
#

Yea, that's still wait and see

lament zodiac
#

If its a flat ammount you can probably sitll do something silly

#

I would like to see what the hell happens when you do Spectral Tacticians with Infernal Legion...

shrewd gyro
#

Does infernal stack? do we know yet?

lament zodiac
#

Millions of little burny boys

autumn snow
#

nope

lament zodiac
#

yep they get the gems

autumn snow
#
The Infernal Legion support gem causes supported minions to take a large percent of their maximum life as fire damage over time. They all gain a burning damage aura, dealing fire damage over time to nearby enemies. The effect doesn't stack, but is modified by minion damage increases and other support gems. 

This support can be used to deal damage to large groups of enemies, and is available at quite a low level, so is an alternative to Melee Splash for some minion types. It also works well alongside the Minion Instability keystone, letting you use your minions as walking time bombs.```
shrewd gyro
#

hmm

autumn snow
#

they burn for a %

lament zodiac
#

hmmmm

autumn snow
#

but the dmg can be flat

hollow talon
#

"Large % of their maximum life"

#

Hopefully it's actually large

shrewd gyro
#

you can get pretty crazy minion damage on golems that you couldn't on spectres

hollow talon
#

And not like 20%

shrewd gyro
#

yea, idk

autumn snow
#

check the video

#

it's around 15-20%

shrewd gyro
#

I wouldn't bother with MI though

#

honestly you'd be better off making them as survivable as possible

hollow talon
#

Idk if that's with ele res investment on minions though

shrewd gyro
#

resummoning golems would get annoying

autumn snow
#

@hollow talon minions have base 40%

#

res

shrewd gyro
#

um

hollow talon
#

And if you pile 40% more on top of it that's 80

shrewd gyro
#

ele golems are immune to ele dmg

#

with elementalist

hollow talon
#

MI would never go Elementalist

kindred dagger
#

In the end im thinking that the burning legion gem is kinda annoying, it can be cool but that force you to constantly re sumon your minions, so i can see it interesting for popcorn SRS build i guess

autumn snow
#

I mean 15-20% without res :p

hollow talon
#

Necromancer has 20% more minion life

shrewd gyro
#

Right, not for MI. For infernal legion

hollow talon
#

Oh for just Infernal Legion scaling

kindred dagger
#

it would be insane on zombie or skull but you need to find a way to automate it or its just boring

autumn snow
#

MI is slow af

shrewd gyro
#

right, your golems wouldn't take any damage

autumn snow
#

takes forever to clear a map

shrewd gyro
#

and you can get minion life through that primordial jewel that no one uses for just golems

hollow talon
mental apex
#

Conversion trap for mob clear?

hollow talon
#

Lmao

#

Does Conversion Trap - Infernal Legion even work

shrewd gyro
#

Clear wouldn't be bad if you had enough golems and the AI was decent

#

single target could be an issue though

#

unless you do hybrid investment

#

make them good for single target and also have infernal legion

lament zodiac
#

I feel like Infernal legion will be a one minion clear enhancer or not used at all.

#

I don't really feel like there aren't many minions you are willing to put it on though when other gems would probably just make you clear better

shrewd gyro
#

depends on its aoe really

#

with enough investment, the damage should come

mental apex
#

Could just put it on skele, minion instability, dark pact, and the skele wand?

#

Skelecorn?

shrewd gyro
#

dark pact skeles is just straight up clunky imo

lament zodiac
#

Yeah but since it doesn't stack its inherantly eigh on anything with more than one and the minions that come in low numbers usually don't have clear issues.

mental apex
#

Then don't dark pact 😅
Two wands and the new infernal Legion should kill em fast

shrewd gyro
#

if dark pact is also your main dmg dealer than you actually want them to have aas much life as possible for your chains

lament zodiac
#

Oh so basically you use it to make MI blow quicker

mental apex
#

Yeah

#

Scale minion life and minion damage and popcorn them all

shrewd gyro
#

I need to refind that excel sheet that calculates spectre life

lament zodiac
#

holy shit

#

the golem node is insane

shrewd gyro
#

lvl 100 mobs have ~45k life

lament zodiac
#

3 points for 70% buff increase

shrewd gyro
#

lvl 21 stone golem is ~18k life

#

Oh, unearth might be capped at lvl 95 corpses

#

so ~33k life

mental apex
#

Specters are different now

#

Look at gem again

shrewd gyro
#

oh, right

#

oh, that's only 12k life

bright umbra
#

Going over 3.8 leaked POB on my stream, lets goooooooooooooooooooooo boys! checking everyone's builds

does anyone have the picture of new perfect agony

tidal ruin
#

man I want an uhhhhhhh

#

cold dot aura

shrewd gyro
#

same as before, but now 50% instead of 30%

ember hill
#

oh whne htey said rework i was expecting something else

shrewd gyro
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

lucid stone
#

@tidal ruin Vaal Cold Snap

tidal ruin
#

oh yeah

#

there it is

shrewd gyro
#

haha

languid path
#

30 to 50 is still pretty good, it's like another 100% multi for your poison

shrewd gyro
#

Not really

#

it adds to the dot multiplier. So it will stack additively with all the new passive node changes

lucid stone
#

Well, 500% ailment critmulti on a trypanon build. 🤷

shrewd gyro
#

so if you only had that sure, but that's not realistic

languid path
#

I didn't say 100 more

shrewd gyro
#

fair enough

compact junco
#

2.9M to 3.5M just from PA and tree multi changes (assuming I implemented the chaos multi correctly), that is pretty nice

lucid stone
#

What

shrewd gyro
#

I want the passive/unique item that says "you are a golem"

#

@compact junco with the ascendancy changes?

lucid stone
#

wait I'm dumb

#

nvm

compact junco
#

no, i meant together @lucid stone . i added support locally for chaos dot multi and new PA to pob, and 2.9M to 3.5M is the difference in damage between 3.7 and 3.8 tree without changes

lament zodiac
#

Utmost strength was moved to such a convenient place

autumn snow
#

"convenient"

#

rip multi

lament zodiac
#

Eigh they all got ripped for multi no? unless dex got moved closer to one?

hollow talon
#

Yeah they're all rip for multi

deep wave
#

Tempered flesh no longer gives 75% crit multi?

shrewd gyro
#

nope

deep wave
#

;(

#

Would the poison gyre skill work better with deadeye for chain and +1 projectile or assassin for crit/damage/elusive

tidal frost
#

chain and proj are effectively more AOE; assasin more dps

fair prairie
#

Assassin would probably survive better if you care about that

gloomy dune
#

@compact junco what did you do to make this work, i felt like i did the exact same thing :S

autumn snow
#

remove the "+"?

tidal frost
#

his pob is modified

autumn snow
#

lol

#

you forgot

#

compact junco
tidal frost
#

whitespace diffs

autumn snow
#

just wait for patch notes Kappa

compact junco
#

i wanted to see the buffs 😦

tidal frost
#

can I go format all files and submit the diff

#

that white space is triggering

autumn snow
#

so

#

how much it is

compact junco
#

20% more poison damage with exactly same tree as in 3.7

tidal frost
#

no ascend?

compact junco
#

with pathfinder. i just used build I was using in 3.7

autumn snow
#

and optimized?

compact junco
#

and assassin has around 28% more damage than pathfinder

tidal frost
#

optimized in 3.7; presumably

compact junco
#

yeah

dusty umbra
#

@compact junco Ass poison is def build i wanna try for 3.8 but, question is daggers of claws

gloomy dune
#

which file is it that you changed deathbeam? :S

vital idol
#

O yea. Tonight to balance manifesto day

tidal ruin
#

imo assassin already gives you all the damage you could want, claws unless you're using a dagger skill

compact junco
#

@gloomy dune this is clean diff http://ix.io/1U6v, has support for damage multi and PA

midnight kraken
#

A very strange short link

compact junco
#

and yeah imo claws are waay better because sustain @dusty umbra . daggers will probably just stay useless like they were before

#

i always use ix.io for pastes, it has nice api

midnight kraken
#

Mama said don't drive with the stranges, don't open the doors to suspicious people and don't click random links

proven wadi
#

i will play daggers and nothing will stop me

lament zodiac
#

On a scale of 1 to 1,000,000 how likely is it that a Eyes of the Great Wolf with a reasonably good attribute modifier and +Zombies is going to be affordable this league?

timid geyser
#

0

lament zodiac
#

😦

timid geyser
#

I mean honestly on SC it shouldn't be the worse thing ever

#

HC though gl

lament zodiac
#

Feel like they added so many minion nodes to the tree it actually not possible to take thme all anymore... feelsweird

timid geyser
#

Yeah, not unless you wanna give up some tank

autumn snow
#

not all of them are good anyway

lament zodiac
#

I mean alot of them are very good and the ones that are less good are on the way/near life nodes

timid geyser
#

Biggest issue is some of them are just in really bad spots on passive tree

autumn snow
#

yep

timid geyser
#

i.e Ravenous Horde

lament zodiac
#

yeah

#

thats the hard one

#

but 20% ms is so good

autumn snow
#

it's the best one

#

the whole thing gives 38% mov

#
  • chance of onslaught
lament zodiac
#

the +% es on grave intentions is so weird

#

yeah but the onslaught probably wont be that good I don't think

autumn snow
#

it's extra clear

timid geyser
#

Onslaught is good for low minion count builds like Golems or HoAG

lament zodiac
#

yeah but its 10% and probably only lasts 4 seconds

#

yeah maybe its amazing for HoAg

timid geyser
#

Not like HoAG needs damage OMEGALUL

autumn snow
#

it's something

#

really good without that

lament zodiac
#

its useless for zombies and spectres though

#

and hoag doesnt need it

autumn snow
#

not useless

lament zodiac
#

its the 20% ms

timid geyser
#

Ehh, not that bad for spectres imo

autumn snow
#

spectres is 100% uptime while clearing lol

lament zodiac
#

spectres are MS capped anyway so...

autumn snow
#

cast speed

#

but yeah

#

mov speed is not that amazing for ranged spectres

lament zodiac
#

the indominable army nodes are just "minions don't die to reflect"

#

well... as quickly anyway

autumn snow
#

25% physical reduction

lament zodiac
#

as opposed to 0 😄

autumn snow
#

no more skely one shots?

#

between the % life, %more life, mitigation and + levels

#

I think they'll no longer melt with a single aoe

lament zodiac
#

what do you think about aligned spirits and enduring bond?

#

aligned spirits is some wierd mom build/being able to recast MI minions?

autumn snow
#

enduring is very good

#

spirits

#

idk

lament zodiac
#

30% duration seems situational

autumn snow
#

it's for duration minions

#

spiders

#

srs

#

etc

lament zodiac
#

Templar Dom/Herald?

autumn snow
#

lol no

#

spirits looks okay for mom

lament zodiac
#

seems like the least useful to me 😦 unless you are specifically doing a fang/srs build

autumn snow
#

14.5% inc dmg per node

#
  • duration and some attk/cast speed
#

46% inc duration, 58% inc dmg and 4% inc attack/cast speed for 4 points

#

super solid for any duration minion

lament zodiac
#

Maybe its just because I am making a baron build don't really need more damage..

autumn snow
#

:p

lament zodiac
#

they removed so many zombies from the tree

autumn snow
#

ty god

#

they increased the cap

lament zodiac
#

but they removed them from ascendancy and tree

#

they removed the really easy 2 zombie node and the grave intentions 1 node

#

if you want +1 zombie outside of lord of the dead you have to path to spectres :/

#

which with 2 base spectres... baron don't relaly need anymore

autumn snow
#

lemme see

#

+5 from tree

#

+2 from ascendancy

#

3 cap

#

meaning 10 zombies

#

to 7 zombies with +2 on tree

#

it's -1 zombie

#

but other mods

#

looks good imo

#

you'll have much stronger zombies

lament zodiac
#

Probably

#

but its hard not to in this patch it seems

dusty umbra
#

@compact junco yeah unless they change nodes substantially claw ones are just superior in many ways

autumn snow
#

good

quaint halo
#

is path of building updated at all to reflect the new changes?

compact junco
#

hmm, when i optimize the tree for crits for assassin (and remove some life to like ~180%) assassin can get some absurd poison dps actually. and I am not even counting the poison duration from noxious

dusty umbra
autumn snow
#

148% at lvl 100

lament zodiac
#

Indeed

dusty umbra
#

3x Jewel slots, and we can get it to 165% ish

lament zodiac
#

I Currently have 140% at lvl 97 and I feel awful... 5k life on a baron build :/

dusty umbra
#

Also new assasin node is pretty damn neat

midnight phoenix
#

That tree gave me herpes

dusty umbra
midnight phoenix
#

Can u at least path down the outside and save urself two points

autumn snow
midnight phoenix
#

Cos its making me twitch

autumn snow
#

you generally don't take the whole cluster

#

only the notable

#

and then path to other notables

dusty umbra
#

ehhh it's just initial version monka

#

might have to go some proj instead somewhere possibly, have to really see the scaling/etc and tags of new skills

gloomy dune
#

honestly, consider waiting for other people to write guides for that build, there's soooo much off with that tree, you'd be better off starting from scratch than correcting it, i really dont mean this as an offense, you ahve to start somewhere, but it looks like you're at a point where you're better off looking at other peoples trees and optimizing them to your liking, instead of doing them from scratch

dusty umbra
#

Old tree's doesn't really matter either since we don't know full tags/scalling etc of new skills yet either

compact junco
lament zodiac
#

Mmmm 180

compact junco
#

that pathfinder ranger section is kind of wrong, but meh

gloomy dune
#

100% hit chance with n oaccuracy on gear (i'm playing ssf, getting accuracy on good items is not a given)

#

wrong version

autumn snow
#

much better

dusty umbra
gloomy dune
compact junco
#

my tree is not using accuracy on gear as well, its just using lvl 20 precision (there are not many auras you would pick on poison build anyway, its like, precision, malevolence and hoag)

gloomy dune
#

dont shoot for lvl 100 @ ihit, shoiot for lvl 90 to lvl 92, lvl 100 is not realistic

#

oh yeah at deathbeam i meant for mine 100% hit chance with tree and precision only, not tree only, sry

dusty umbra
#

95 is pretty easy every league

autumn snow
#

yep

gloomy dune
#

yes it's easy, but you're not gonna be at 95 most of the time

#

so aim your tree for 90-92 to be complete, and then just pick up slight boosts with extra levels

dusty umbra
#

I mean force shaper cluster and near it can be easy cut until end game

gloomy dune
#

which skill are you planing on using with it?

dusty umbra
#

Still to be decided

gloomy dune
#

if it's cobra lash you can lose that node on the left, as you'll easily be poison capped without it, meaning that node does nothing at all

#

"will of blades" at the assassin start is also a rather weak node, it sounds strong,m but it really does not do much ,is not worth the two points

compact junco
#

i guess most asassins would be using either venom gyre or cobra lash

#

and that brings up question, why tf is rage support not working with ranged attacks 😦

#

it would be so good

gloomy dune
#

yes i asked because cobra lash of these 2 has inbuilt chance to poison

#

making the tree rather different on a few details

compact junco
#

actually i dont think cobra lash makes any difference (or, any innate poison chance on skills) because you get 100% poison chance just from taking good poison nodes

#

and assassin ascendancy

gentle zodiac
#

Hey can I ask questions here? the poe chat is useless

compact junco
#

and also hoag. but innate poison chance is great for leveling

lament zodiac
#

@gentle zodiac yes but that was your 1 question. It has been answered. That is all you get.

compact junco
#

rip

gentle zodiac
#

Okay when do I get a new one? 🤔

#

😂

lament zodiac
#

@gentle zodiac because you asked nicely I will allow it. That was your second question. it has been answered. thats all you get.

#

PS apparently i miss read. Fuck.

autumn snow
#

What

gentle zodiac
#

Okay ty marauderthinking

gloomy dune
#

pro tip

#

if yo uwanna get a question answered on the internet

#

dont answer

#

dont ask

#

just make a false statement

#

people will correct you

compact junco
#

that is not true!

lament zodiac
#

Bamboozling Mooseling is 100% correct.

autumn snow
#

Damn it

lament zodiac
#

Jebait

autumn snow
#

That really works

gentle zodiac
#

Does anyone know the interaction of allocated notables with annointments and inspired learning, might of the meek, unnatural instinct and also whether a notable can be allocated twice with an anointment?

autumn snow
#

I almost want to refute that statement

lament zodiac
#

No to the last one

#

The others are probably exactly as you expect them to be

autumn snow
#

Should work as expected

compact junco
#

i think they said somewhere it will not be possible to allocate them twice

lament zodiac
#

Baeclast

autumn snow
#

That's confirmed already

#

Pretty obvious

midnight phoenix
#

not that unnatural instinct does anything interesting to notables

gentle zodiac
#

Okay so you could use your anointent towards the 4 notables required for inspired learning, ofc at the opportunity cost

autumn snow
#

Eh

compact junco
#

i dont think they will actually count as being in radius of anything

autumn snow
#

You would need most of the new unique items

#

Not worth it at all

lament zodiac
#

If you have an item that gives a notable can you path through it without costing? Or do you have to pay for it 😦

midnight phoenix
#

no like if u randomly have an appropriate notable for IL i can see the benefit

gentle zodiac
#

Well if they appear as allocated on the tree with an anointment then I guess it is in radius?

midnight phoenix
#

its pretty marginal tho

compact junco
#

because otherwise it would be weird with legion jewels. or can you actually corrupt them?

autumn snow
#

Most likely

gentle zodiac
#

Since the hidden ones are on tree as well

compact junco
#

(oh nvm you did not meant hidden notables)

gentle zodiac
#

Also are hidden nodes within some radius on jewel sockets?

autumn snow
#

Hidden shouldn't be on radius even if they are in the tree

gentle zodiac
#

Okay but ones that aren't hidden still are within a radius even if just anointed?

compact junco
#

what about reg notables then? i would totally use my annoint to get chaos + wither node from vaal jewel without all those garbage nodes before

autumn snow
#

Do you mean if the count as allocated when in radius?

gentle zodiac
#

Yes

autumn snow
#

I think so

#

Not sure why they wouldn't

#

It's allocated

#

Not some special state or something

gentle zodiac
#

Okay just thought that there would be a difference in how it is allocated

#

But makes sense

timid geyser
autumn snow

It's not op in any way

unnerve?

gentle zodiac
#

Yeah I'm 100% certain hoag is getting a nerf now

lament zodiac
#

Is that a new thing? Or have I just not seen that before

gentle zodiac
#

Guardian much tankier than necro though

timid geyser
#

No idea what ennerve is.

lament zodiac
#

I really wanna see what guardian ascendancy is

#

#

scion gets onslaught aura also

autumn snow

Stronger auras

Exactly what we needed

lament zodiac
#

this league is going to have so many server issues

autumn snow
#

Client issues*

#

My record of crashes was this league

#

Game crashed every 30s

#

Monolith = instacrash

dusty umbra
#

We've also added Poison Damage over Time Multiplier to many passives, and changed many sources of Chaos Damage over Time Multiplier so they aren't restricted to non-ailments. - this part is also nice

lament zodiac
#

I wonder if plague bearer counts as an aura

timid geyser
#

Yeah, all chaos DoT multi is changed to apply ailments on passive tree.

#

So stuff like Occ can do poison

#

Darkscorn Occ might be decent.

lament zodiac
#

Can you make a guardian aura character that uses death's oat linked to poison

#

and then plague bringer new gem?

silver kettle
#

Damage over time can't inflict poison

#

Only hits can

gentle zodiac
#

I hope unnerve = enemies flee on hit just to fuck with people

lament zodiac
#

Oh yeah whoops

#

I imagine it will be similar to taunt/intimidate

#

it will just be some sort of numerical thing

gentle zodiac
#

Yeah for sure

compact junco
#

hmmm, darkscorn occultist is actually not the worst idea ever

quartz dome
#

Guardian looking swag for just a general Herald of Purity crusade of some sort

autumn snow
#

Occultist glorious 40es regen buff

quartz dome
#

frankly doing a crusader build is way easier to start than doing a necromancer build since the little regen prism thing makes zombies hard to kill as soon as sunken passage

compact junco
#

you would go like life, malediction and withering presence probably

#

but also, occult is just soo slow

quartz dome
#

man it's getting hard to decide on a starter because I do remember when crusader guardian was first a thing it was genuinely fun to level with

autumn snow
#

Zombies are supposed to be tankier early levels

#

At least that's what they said

lament zodiac
#

The minion node next to templar start is hilarious also

quartz dome
#

their issue is primarily just no regen and no leech makes them flimsy and unreliable

lament zodiac
#

5% chance for +100% More dmg

timid geyser
#

Oh I didn't even see Occ es regen buff

quartz dome
#

even if they had ten times as much HP they'd still die a bunch before act 3

autumn snow
#

You can get regen nodes

quartz dome
#

the current easiest existing regen nodes take until about act 3 or so to reach is the issue

autumn snow
#

How so

quartz dome
#

guardian with his happy prism friend just gives you regen immediately

#

uh it takes like 20 points to reach the closest regen nodes as far as I remember off the top of my head

#

if they relocated it then coolio

mental apex
#

ive played dom blow witch before, and my minions never had trouble dying. the only issue was keeping myself alive, and that only sometimes. overall the witch is better 10/10 than the guardian

#

i actually liked witch better other than the lowered personal survival, but the new witch takes guardian to a bleh level

#

dom blow witch is gonna be my starter build for sure 🙂

quartz dome
#

generally when I play a build I like to start it as early as possible and cruise with it, and early crusaider is simply notible because you can start it from literally level 4 and cruise all the way up to maps with just smite and zombos

#

necromancer takes until you get some leech and regen before she can cruise so there's a noticable difference in just having and using the little prism guy. Not that one is better or worse than the other

#

although being able to sleepwalk a nakid giraffe through act 1 and 2 with no prerequisites is pretty nifty

mental apex
#

use srs till act3, use dom blow

#

ibeen my league starter 3 times, and its wayyyy ezpz

deep wave
#

no occulist or elementalist changes 😦

lament zodiac

lament zodiac
#

Not needed?

#

You mad...?

mental apex
#

lmao, i run 30+ minions, and everything dies in 1 hit

#

its not needed

#

dom blow minionss doing 100k per hit

i have a hard time hitting things to keep them all up they are that good

@lament zodiac

lament zodiac
#

I feel like you have this thing... where people say things... and you only think of your dom blow build.

mental apex
#

maybe spectres? but idk if thats needed either, is it?

lament zodiac
#

56% increase minion aoe is insane. think of solar guards with that shit

#

gmp fireball multihitting bosses to death

#

minion instability/new inferal legion aoe being huge?

silver kettle
#

depends on infernal legion numbers

I don't think it will ever be huge cause the clear speed can't be that amazing. but should be good

lament zodiac
#

Was there increased minion aoe before at all ?

if you compare it to 3.7 and take beyond out, its basicly the same

there is no perandus as well

quiet geyser

cast while channeling bodysawp, who need flicker

But perandus also wanst realy juice

and thats all ? i had the feeling that it was more different

viral bramble
#

Could someone explain to me what ggg was smoking when they said staves were the go to to increase level of socketed gems

quiet geyser
#

they have an additonal prefix for specific element gems

#

🤷

viral bramble
#

But people just used bows

quiet geyser
#

(in comparisson to bows)

#

yea because +1 to all gems is same as +2 to fire

copper kernel
#

yea but bows dont roll the mods naturally

quiet geyser
#

they do

#

both have same chanches

#

+1 is just better, because it also affects the support gems

copper kernel
#

bows only have +1 and +2 to bow gems

quiet geyser
#

and stave has +1 and +2 to element, wich doesnt stack

viral bramble
#

+1 to sock gems is significantly harder to get on staves

quiet geyser
#

and since betrayl you can multimod bows to be as good as staves

viral bramble
#

Are they nerfing +2 sock support gems?

quiet geyser
#

basicly

#

they are removing it

#

but adding +3/4 global

#

on staves

#

not bows

viral bramble
#

So bows are untouched?

quiet geyser
#

as far as i understood yes

#

but i assume a +3 global will be better then a good craftet bow

#

because you still can get some nice body armour corruptions

viral bramble
#

And are these changes going to be added to faceted mods?

bronze blaze
#

So a +3/4 would be fat for a aurabot?

quiet geyser
#

its cold/fire/lightning/physical/chaos skills

#

not total +3 s

bronze blaze
#

Ah

#

Rip I’ve been wanting to do a big + to gems but building one with a bow is hard

viral bramble
#

For aurabot?

bronze blaze
#

Yeah

#

Saw someone make a bow with a lot of + to gems other than bow skills

viral bramble
#

Scaling levels for aurabot seems pointless

#

Unless it's min maxing

bronze blaze
#

You don’t look for quality with aurabot though since that just makes the aoe bigger

#

So + to gems is best

#

does anyone have the hiero leak

stone belfry
#

So what are the new ranger flask effect nodes?

Anyone know?

Probably the same as the alchemist wheel but like 6 effect on minor and 8 for notable

#

Sure, but where are they?

#

And what else do they do?

Idk the exact numbers, but that's probably a good estimste

low knot
#

any Tl:DR about the manifesto for cyclone/impale stuff?

deep wave
#

cyclone base damage nerfed by 50%, base range 11 and additional range only increases aoe by 8%

#

pulverize nerfed

low knot
#

hard nerf for cyclone builds?

deep wave
#

still playable, Facebreaker cyclone buffed

clear adder
#

cyclone roughly got a 10% nerf at the top end, cyclone will still be insane. But you actually need to invest in area if you want to fill your screen.

rose pasture
#

Will see how much mana you'll need for cyclone..
And 2d.. its aoe

deep wave
#

Yea... eleron rings and - mana chests apply differently to channeled skills

#

imagine needing to leech mana

clear adder
#

Luckily you aren't a caster, you have 10 sources of mana leech freely available

deep wave
#

at least they didnt nerf mana gain on trickster

tidal frost
#

My kitsvas thirst tempest shield trickster lived

quartz dome
#

cyclone has been hit in a number of ways but I expect it will still be the most popular melee skill just because you hold down a button to win

#

can't be overstated how powerful that is in itself

stone belfry
#

Same deal with blade flurry

#

same deal with reave

#

Cyclone does get to move somewhat, though.

shrewd gyro
#

I think that was his point

stone belfry
#

Well you're still going to want to move with travel skills once you're done cycloning

#

and can't reave eventually hit screenwide anyway?

shrewd gyro
#

really depends on the build and the map/pack size

stone belfry
#

I believe vaal reave, if you can keep it up

shrewd gyro
#

hh in sewers with cyclone is just one click and move

stone belfry
#

That's HH.

shrewd gyro
#

hh just makes it easier, you can easily invest in ms to have the same effect

you no longer have to drain your own mana

rugged locust
#

it's at the cost of flask duration

#

I know they have pretty huge duration to begin with

#

and they try to scale the flask duration too

#

so I don't know how much that will affect them

tidal frost
#

the base flasks stats arnt going to be the same; either

rustic sentinel
#

If it’s like 50 less duration instead of the 40 increased from experimenters that’s not great for soulthirst builds

#

7 seconds might as well go experimenters quicksilver

hollow cipher
#

RF damage not being so dependent upon extreme life count is going to be interesting.

kindred dagger
#

The mana is cool especialy for story leveling, you often use mana flask early on so no matter what thats not bad

#

For RF not sure, because the spell allready had trouble with single target and seems they said that they lower its damage for endgame.. because thy said heavy HP char will have less damage

tidal frost
#

the base gem is lowered. but theres burning multi now so....

kindred dagger
#

"The goal of this change is to provide more power for builds that don't invest as heavily in maximum life, and slightly less power in builds that invested the majority of their resources into getting large values of maximum life. "

#

I only understand that if you have 10K HP they fuck you

tidal frost
#

like; the sentence right before that one

kindred dagger
#

but maybe the point is just to "punish" people that ONLY invest in HP and so if you build more over burning and DOT and so you'll have the same or even more damage

tidal frost
#

you built buring before with the life

#

It seems like they’re aiming to gradually bring all the more standard and obvious build options into line so getting to the start of maps is possible for most characters without needing to preplan, which is good for player acquisition and retention from a marketing perspective

#

I mean it's no secret that leveling with bows sucks

wet plaza
#

It has been spread for years now but wasn't the case if you just upgraded your bow with essences every few levels

#

Toxic rain and roa are super smooth to level with

kindred dagger
#

leveling with bow is not that bad, it just require a bit of more knowledge

hoary snow
#

I ran through synthesis with a split shot/barrage build to endgame until I realized tornado kinda trumps everything else

#

One perk of bows - you don’t really need a mouse, just a touchpad

kindred dagger
#

seems lightning arrow does quite good damage early on, and this + ice shot will get buff so

grave valve
#

da fuck is unnerve

proven wadi
#

did you mean: innervate?

timid geyser
#

Nope unnerve is new thing on guardian

#

Some people speculating it is like intimidate but for spells.

#

Which would make a lot of sense

white badge
#

can somebody pin the guardian stuff

#

why does the heiro change feel like a huge nerf

clear adder
#

huh

teal axle
#

lost the 150 flat mana, 30% to 20% mana as ES
you get mana -> damage at 30% of the value and unreserved mana to aoe

#

it feels like

#

a huge nerf

#

because you lose a ton of EHP off mom

clear adder
#

It isn't really, you lost like 100 mana

teal axle
#

isnt it?

#

oh

timid geyser
#

The new passive tree makes up for any mana you lost.

teal axle
#

I mean I guess my build was already getting like

#

150% mana

eager terrace
#

they replaced 150 flat mana with 30% increased

teal axle
#

and now its 180?

#

yeah

clear adder
#

Yeah

eager terrace
#

I started with 170% from tree and lost about 100 mana

clear adder
#

So you are just getting some free damage in a trade for a bit of mana lost

teal axle
#

its probably a net buff

eager terrace
#

there's also new mana nodes

teal axle
#

Im still just weighing my leaguestart options rn

#

ah

#

true

#

update your guide

#

:^)

clear adder
#

I would wait until patch notes :p

eager terrace
#

I will but yeah

teal axle
#

patchnoteswhen

eager terrace
#

not until at least notes and probably take me a day

clear adder
#

tomorrow i think

teal axle
#

yeah

#

no worries

#

Im between your FP totems, 10 golem, or minionmancer

#

I think 10golem is, unironically, the highest ceiling

#

at like

#

400k+ per golem

clear adder
#

Carrion golem is nuts

teal axle
#

I need to see numbers

#

and its attach pattern

eager terrace
#

I dunno FP totems ceiling is pretty high

teal axle
#

before I can decide if its better than ice golems

eager terrace
#

but it will cost ya

teal axle
#

yeah

clear adder
#

if you count the soulmantle atziri's reflection totem build, the ceiling is massive

teal axle
#

yeah

#

that kind of ivnestment is just nuts though
