[3.24] Minion Instability Autobomber - Stone Golem League Starter


Introduction
This is my take on a minion instability autobomber build! The build revolves around automatically exploding and re-summoning golems!

Pros & Cons

+ Strong mapper
+ Autobomber with explosions!
+ League start viable
+ High damage uptime
+ No mana issues
+ Can run all map modifiers
+ No temporary league power is used in any of the showcases (see tab for league specific suggestions)


- Damage is delayed

- Not HC viable (at least without changes)

Necropolis League Specific
Spoiler

Crafting league which makes better rare items easier to obtain. Tattoo's are also back and Tattoo of the Hinekora Warmonger is very nice for this build.

Will be updated again after league start!

Build Mechanics

Spoiler
Minion Instability
Spoiler
We deal damage using Minion Instability, which explodes our minions when they drop below 50% health and deals 33% of their health as fire damage. To reliably trigger Minion Instability, we need a way to damage our minions. We use Infernal Legion, which deals fire damage to our minions. We increase the damage it does to our minions by equipping Maligaro's Lens and giving it to our minions with Necromantic Aegis on league start. After league start we swap out Maligaro's Lens and Necromantic Aegis for a Fortress Covenant, so we can get a good minion shield and free passive points.

Re-summoning Golems
Spoiler
We use stone golems for minion instability, since they have significantly more health than other minions. Unfortunately, they also have a cooldown and cast time. Fortunately, we can take Liege of the Primordial to automatically re-summon our stone golems 4 seconds after they dis. By increasing our maximum number golems, we can automatically summon more than one golem a second!

Spectres and Animate Guardian
Spoiler
Since we scale so much minion life and block chance, we can use powerful support Spectres and Animate Guardian! Quite a few options for spectres, but I recommend getting wild bristle matron, pale seraphim and ruins hellion. Together, these minions debuff enemies with 40% reduced action speed, 15% increased damage taken, 30% reduced damage dealt and taunt them. Once you get Summon Spectres to level 25 (+ levels to minion gems + level 21 gem) and get a fourth spectre, I recommend They of Tull which occasionally create a field granting chance to avoid damage. For the animate guardian on league start I recommend Leer Cast or Eye of Malice as the helmet, Dying Breath as the weapon and then resists (especially chaos) on gloves, boots and body armour. Eventually we can upgrade it with Kingmaker, Dopplegänger's Guise, Gravebind and Legacy of Fury.

Leveling and Transition
Spoiler
Leveling with Summon Raging Spirit until first lab where we take Liege of the Primordial and get Stone Golem of the Hordes(should only be a few chaos at most). At this point can just play the endgame build, though I recommend continuing to use Summon Raging Spirits on single target for a few more acts. Try and get Maligaro's Lens too and eventually the other recommended items.

How would you say this build compares to the Vengeance ignite build? Specifically in terms of single-target damage.

Significantly better single target dps and tankier, especially with investment. Vengeance ignite has faster clear though (still has fast clear, just not to the extreme of vengeance ignite).

Glad to hear it, excited to pick this up for 3.24.
