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

Hi , what about to use a 5L spectres with the ungry loop unset ring ? what do you think about it ? And why did you go for necromancer instead of elementalist ? (i played flame golems build quite a lot and always went for elementalist +2 extra golems).

Actually, Mika's guide is catering for both, Necromancer and Elementalist Ascendancies, though Necro hybridmancers (using golems only as one of many components) seem to be the more popular choice as opposed to the golem-only variant with The Primordial Chain. Doesn't mean it isn't working... ;)

"

Eminence would also count tho we wouldn't use those. ;)

And the wording on The Anima Stone was changed recently, "Jewels" was replaced with "Items" and "or equipped" has been added.

"

So The Primordial Chain counts as well as it has the Primordial tag.

Hey :)

You are right, Eminence counts but should not really be used imho.

I forgot about the amulet as the most obvious item, Clayshaper doesn't count as Primordial item. Amulet is good addition with Primoridal jewels if you decide to go Golems only.

Hi :)

Hungly loop could work for Spec, but you can get up to 6-7 link Specs in helmet. Also you need +1-+3 level to minion gems in helmet to get 4th Spec out, so I would still use helmet for the Specs.

I have both variants, Necro and Elementalist. Both are strong, but Necro is generally cheaper to level and more balanced between offense and defense. Elementalist is more cleap-speed / damage oriented, but has also good defenses as Stone and Chaos Golems grant significant buffs now.

You can find Elementalist under alternative skill-trees. I also should have few elementalist videos linked on news.

You get extra Golems from jewel called Anima Stone. 1x when you place it and 1x extra when you have at least 3x other primordial jewels in tree (Might and Harmonies).

+1 to maximum number of Summoned Golems if you have 3 Primordial Items Socketed or Equipped

So The Primordial Chain counts as well as it has the Primordial tag.

Thanks for that info, much appreciated. Where do I get the anima stone from or do I need to craft it? How about the Primoridal Jewels? I'm not sure where to get those.

I am dying to Metas a lot, can you please let me know where I can get the Amulet of Chayula from. I think that will make a big difference.

Primordial Jewels (Eminence, Harmony, Might) can drop or be obtained with Divination Card sets (The Primordial et al).

The Anima Stone (which is not Primordial) cannot drop. It can only be obtained by vendoring Eminence + Harmony + Might... or with the Azyran's Reward Divination Card Set.

Damn it Mika, I thought "I play this build so much, maybe I'll do a different minion build next league" so I tried out something that looked stupid and fun, the chains of command animate guardian build.

I think it would have went over better if I picked Scion and not automated it as much, but as far as I can see, it can't compete with your build. It is fun, and it is stupid though. Plus it's my first build trying to meme the writhing jar.



It's hard to want to move away from the golem build because while prob not top tier at any one thing, it's pretty darn good at everything.

I'll see you guys back here next league, I tried a HH build and another minion build and I'm still going to be picking golems again.

I don't know if this has been answered but how did you get 18% inc max es on your rings?

Those are legacy rings (in STD league). This bench craft has been long since removed.

Currently you can get up to 15% max ES now with "Crusader's" prefix. And then there is an Incursion hybrid mod with up to 47 flat and 10% max.

Hey :)

Yep, Anima stone has to be made by vendoring each of other promordial jewels to vendor at same time or bought from trade.

Chayula amulet helps a lot, but is pretty expensive to get. You need to get Chayula breach, complete it and then get Chayulas blessing at reward. Then you can upgrade other unique amulet to Chayulas amulet.

Overall I would recommend stacking as much Energy Shield per rate item as possible. This gives you healthy buffer to tank one hit from Metas and then retreat to recharge. Try to keep ypur distance from Metas and move all the time. You can try Ghastly eye jewel with minions have chance to blind and taunt as that will lower the aggro you get from Metas. Overall once you get endgame items, you will be much tankier and playing will be much safer.

Hello :)

My friend actually just tried similar Animage Guardian build with Chains of Command but using Pathfinder. Looked fun and cleared maps well but had lot of manual setup.

I guess we will have to wait for new projectile based minions until I can create new serious build. Flame Golems are just to easy to play as they have huge aggro range, ranged attacks and cover large area. If only Specs could use Feeding Frenzy, they could compete.

I wish that we get physical ranged totem, mayvbe something like statues with bows now in the game. Other sweet setup would be floating, permanent totems. I would like 3-4x permanent Flame Totems floating around me as they have nice aggro range, decent damage and cool effect.

Lets hope next league will be sweet as well and we get new tools to work with the build. Cu again next league! o/

Hi :)

Yep, thanks for great list. The original 15-20% ES is remove from the game, but it can still be bought in standard where there are tons of legacy items around. If you want to min-max build after league ends, there are still lots of items to get ^^

So I just hit 93 on my Elementalist and was wondering if switching to a Pledge of Hands setup with Primordial Chain is better than running a Clayshaper with a shield? I am looking to do end game and worry that the I might be too squishy for this league with a Pledge of Hands and a Skin. Thoughts?
