How to boost golems dps?

I'm winging my own Primeval jewels Elementalist Golemancer at the moment, and the dps is "ok" but not as strong as I seem to remember it. Maybe it has to do with some particular items I should get, I don't know... but as a general question, what other jewels could be great, and what affixes should I be looking for to increase their dps?

Using Haste at the moment, which is probably not the very best dps increase, but its a simple 1-aura buff for everyone.

Help me Obi One Kenobi, you're my only hope?

Wow, absolutely no one helping. Ok. :(
What's wrong with your Golem DPS? Tree and jewels seem to be all right. As good as it gets considering your gear and gem level.

Max you gems, Skin of the Loyal is another option. Use LMP rather than GMP and Vaal Haste at bosses. Get some gloves with an open prefix (Catarina 6, Minions deal 15% increased Damage).

Herald of Ash is wasted. Use Desecrate/Flesh Offering to increase the golem's cast speed temporarily.

The golem's links are ok, just need them to level up; I'd use GMP over LMP but that's ok too, when leveled up gives higher dps, and I personally prefer to use Elemental Focus over Fire Penetration (Flammability + Ele Weakness already give you effective penetration).
And there goes another thing... you have linked to bi-curse but don't have Whispers of Doom nor a corrupted amulet or similar to have two curses, maybe you respecced out? if so, take Whispers asap. Also get an Enfeeble leveled up to swap with Elemental Weakness for tough maps/bosses.
About items:
Your bone helmet... scour it, give it +2 minions (or +3 if it's high enough itemlevel) and put in there Spectre, Zombies, Minion Damage and Minion Speed/Life/resist whatever suits you more. Thats a big help in many ways, specially when you got them leveled up, OR put in there Ice/Lightning golems.
Essence Worm... you better get rid of it, get a Brinerot Mark for your favourite secondary golem (I like lightning in there), or a good rare one if you don't want to use zombies/spectres in your bone helmet, AND consider using generosity linked to your Haste, thats a big boost for your minions, you don't need haste, really you don't ;).
As it's been said, heralds are a waste for you, arctic is good, you don't need more; well if you went hibrid life/es you could use discipline... but you probably could use more Vitality/Purity of Elemnts linked to generosity for you golem's, or just have a higher mana pool to recast golems more often and benefit from Primordial Might.

About ascendandy... you will not deliver damage yourself much (ridiculous vs your golems's), I'd recomend you to get Shaper of Desolation and Beacon of Ruin instead, with Shaper's confluxes, you'll be able to shock enemies, and with Beacon, those shocks will spread in 12' radius, boosting your golem's damage even more. Forget about doing damage yourself, you're not specced into that ;).

Haste already boost the golems, its the only aura that doesn't need Generosity. Aren't my golems "allies"? (I saw that part from someone else's build)

Yes they are affected by Haste, as they are your allies.
Generosity will give you increased area of effect (from the quality) and 39% increased effect for the levels, that means they would get 22% increased attack/cast speed and 13% increased movement instead of 16%/9% at level 20, that's a great boost mind you.

Except he'll hardly ever be able to apply shock with unsupported Ball Lightning or Molten Shell (the only two offensive spells I see), certainly not in high tier maps, remember:

"
Hits below the minimum threshold of 1% effect are discarded, effectively requiring a hit of 0.2% enemy maximum life.


With a bit of luck you might shock the odd trash mob but they drop dead once they spot a golem anyway. A sad fact of Elementalist-life... two ascendancies go pretty much to waste with golems. ;)

Paragon offers a bit of damage mitigation and Pendulum temporarily increases AoE for Haste, nothing to write home about.

Aye true, but remember that you only need to apply shock once, on the weakest of mobs, as when applied it will spread in 12' radius regardless of the hit. That is true for bosses too, if it is surrounded by weakest mobs, and if you factor elemental weakness in, shock is not THAT hard to apply. Anyway it's a matter of preference, either of the 4 ascendancy points are just a mere filler with a Golemancer sadly.

Going Generosity would mean dropping Essence Worm, which also means my Mind Over Matter would be halfed: you sure it's worth it?

Didn't see in the previous tree you had taken MoM; if you want to keep it as another layer of defense, then keep it that way, I use ES as extra defense, but you going full life, MoM is a good addition.
