Today I got such helmet:

The strange thing is, according to PoB I lose the damage when allocate golems in it and Spectre setup in the chest. My other gear is very similar to one from no-cluster Medium PoB, so I used it for calculations. Am I doing something wrong or the helmet is still not good enough for doing such replacement ?

the +crit drastically improves the value of crit mods. You might have a damage increase from switching a gem to increased critical damage. Since you are using victarios, you probably have power charges disabled in pob. Try setting power and frenzy charges to 2 and see if you still see a damage loss

Yeah, you are probably right. I've completely forgot that in that exact PoB we had not Power Charges on Sirus as well as Clusters Jewels, that boost up our crit.

You're probably missing crit modifiers.
Are Power Charges turned of since you still use Victarios? If that's the case, it's time to get a Minimum Power charge shield.
Slap on 5% brittle base crit and the helm becomes vastly superior.

I saw you typing in-game, but didn't want to bother you directly. I saw previously you said 4r-2b is a good skin of the lords to have. I'm using Melee physical damage, minion damage support, golems, multistrike, and awakened elemental damage. That leaves 1 red slot, what should I be using there?

The intermediate POB links appear to be broken :(

Empower4 is one of the best gems we can use for the golems in the chest.
Even Empower3 is strong since the chest gives +2 levels to the gem.

In the past we didn't care about Empower since spectres were in the chest and they don't gain much from levels. Golems however, gain ALOT of dmg from levels.
One extremely underrated thing about +5 levels to the golems also is that they gain a crapton of life from the levels.

This helps alot since Carrion Golems for some reason seem squishier than usual this league.

Alot of people seem to be interested in farming wave 30 Simulacrums and it appears to be the golden standard for what constitutes a decent build nowadays.

So yesterday I decided to make some changes to enable me to do them.
This meant sacrificing dps and movement speed for survivavbility for us and our minions.

To get up survivavbility I had to run both Tempest Shield and Bone Offering to cap Spell Block chance. I also changed my Onslaught Flask to a Basalt Flask with 60% increased Evasion to Evasion cap myself.

Wave 30 Simulacrum Clear:

If people are interested in this setup I'll make a PoB later.

Are you OK with chaos mods in this encounter ? From what I've heard "phys as extra chaos" can be rolled there and this mod effectively prevents any our further progression.

It doesn't do anything.
Got it several times and I thought it was over. Big meh, mod won't affect you.
I think the importance of Chaos was overhyped.
Either that or I've been extremely lucky 4 Sims in a row.
The only mods I hate is the "Monsters have X Cold resistance".
I got 80% once, it was fucking stupid.

What kills me is just Slams and Shockwaves from Kosis or Omniphobia.
If you're against the poison mod and enemies poison you that can become yikes but I survived it with -40% chaos res.
I don't know what the bosses do and they're SUPER tanky.
So the bosses randomly oneshot me at times because I don't know what's going on, even on lower levels.

There's no mitigating those hits. You need like 1 million armour or something to survive them, so it's just don't get hit scenarios.

Sometimes I died to elemental crits or shotgunning that went through all spellblock.

Do you guys do PoB reviews ?

It's the first time i rly try to invest currency in a minion build and i'm a bit lost.

Dps feels low on my current setup while i invested a decent amount of currency. What should i change/upgrade ? Got like 20ex budget atm.

Implement these changes and you will quadruple your damage:

https://pastebin.com/N0Z3Ry06

Priority for you:
1. Get a Skin of the Lord with Elemental Equilibrium and swap golems to Chest.
You have no source of Exposure which destroys your single target.
2. Get Appropriate Awakened Gems for Golems in chest.
3. Get 1 Primal Crushclaw.

Empower 4 is expensive so you can run something like a 20/20 Ruthless or EDWA meanwhile.

The PoB uses Haste and Flesh Offering to maximize dps. If you want to continue using Grace and Bone Offering for survival do that.

All I tried to do was maximize your dps without giving you new items except for the Body Armour and the new gems.

You yourself are free to test things around to find a balance you like.

Alright, so I lost my AG to reflect. Wasn't paying attention and here I am.
Then I realized that the scourge mod "You and your minions take %reduced reflected elemental damage" exists.
Would getting this on the Inpulsa's make dying to reflect a lot harder with the leech?

1) Your Cluster Jewel is wrong. We use exactly 2 types of Large Cluster - Vicious Bite, Renewal, Rotten Claws and Vicious Bite, Renewal, Raze and Pillage. In such configurations useless mods such as RC or RnP appear at the top of the Cluster, so we can spend 5 points only.
2) Use Frostbite, not Assassin's Mark.
3) I don't think that all your crit support gems are viable enough unless you use a helmet with flat crit.
4) Unless you have a 7-link helmet, you shall allocate Golems in the Body Armour.
5) You should either use a Skin with Elemental Equilibrium or Awakened Cold Pen in your Spectre links.
6) BV is only useful if you use it in Trigger Wand. In other cases Storm Brand is much superior.
7) Add Quality to Convocation. It improves CDR.
8) You can make both Skitterbots and Bonechill Divergent. It will improve your damage.
9) Wand with +1 to all spell skills gems but with high minion dmg + minion AS is very likely to be superior than yours.
10) Carrion Golem MUST have Awakened Melee Phys linked to it. It is free Intimidate.

That's pretty much it from me. The main thing I would recommend you to do is to sell Awakened Multi and invest these money in the helmet with flat crit, chest with EE, maybe some 5-way rotas to fit more clusters.

P.S. what does you AG wears ? His proper gearing may increase your comfort from playing drastically.
