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

Sorry for being stupid but i am really confused as to what would be the best golem set for single high end boss. This is for Elementalist.
3 Specters and 6 Flame Golems - works really well.
Then start substituting Flame Golems for Ice - Lightning - even an Earth Golem.

What is the optimum setup for high end bosses?
Thanks.

P.S. i am using a +1 to gems Beast Fur chest, this should be very good for the build? if not then what would be considered op?

6 flames will have the best dps
4+1+1 will have slightly less dps, but you are immune to status ailment (such as freeze/chill/shock/burn which can be helpful on bosses, if you use flame, lightning, ice golems).
Both will be optimum, just depends on what you look for (best dps, good dps but more defense layer, etc)

For The Beast Fur Shawl, I think only the ES bonuses / AOE boost is useful actually.
The +5% damage taken are a bit... bad as you will take more damage :/

Other nice armors are :
- Vis Mortis
- Shavronne's Wrappings
- Any high ES rare

In addition: SOTL is good too (+1 gem and +100% global defense increases you ES)

Hello again, I took your advice and made some change idk should I change the boots for + 1 spectres or just stay with the bleeding immune

Hello :)

Yep, 6x Golems + 3x Specters has best damage. Shifting to multiple Golem types for elemental status immunities or dropping 1x Specter for Death's Doors and bleed immunity are all quality-of-life updates and cost some DPS.

Switching to 3x Golems types drops DPS by about 20%, but gives elemental status immunity and with chance to blind gloves gives extra Golems chance to keep boss perma blinded. Status immunities are however extremely nice, so cost to DPS is not that bad.

Switching boots to Death's Doors costs 20-30% total boss damage as TV specs really matter in boss fights. I'm too lazy to use bleed flask so I really love the bleed immunity but effect on DPS is noticable.

Beast fur only has high ES and 10% area of effect. No other lines affect the build expect you taking 5% increased damage. With high level gear Skin of the Loyal gives about 350-400 flat ES compared to Beasts 550. You get extra level, but your Beast fur is already +1 corrupt. I'd say they are about equal as you get now 200 more ES, but take 5% increased damage vs less ES but also less damage taken from Sotl.

If you really want to boost DPS, I recommend switching shield to Victarios Clarity and takins Necromantic Aegis. As you are Elementalist, your chance to block is pretty low without Bone offering affecting you. Charges really boost Golems and TV specs damage.

Hi :)

Yep, Sotl is ofc best but there was not right color sotl in xbox trade.

Hey :)

Your gloves, rings and belt are now excellent. Very high EHP and good resistances.

Using Death's Doors depends purely on how you like to play. I hate using flasks and dying to desync bleed, ignite, etc so I happily trade 1/4-1/3 of total damage to easier mapping. DPS change is however noticable as 6x Flöame Golems and 3x Specs kill boss even quicker.

If you want to use Death's Doors for bleed immunity, I recommend also using Ice and Lightning Golems. The line "50% increased Elemental Ailment Duration on You" is pretty dangerous if you are not immune to elemental status or like to press anti freeze / shock flasks often. The Status immunities are the thing that enable using Death's Doors in the first place without penalty.

Btw, very nice enhancement in helmet ;)

Hi Mika,

as you need to start by using spectres, you can start with that build and switch to golem later.
Just keep in mind you won't be able to change ascendancy in the flashback event.

how do you arrive at this conclusion?

going off my pob numbers here:
i'm running 4 flame + 1 ice + 1 stone and my shaper dps is at 87468 per flame golem (magma ball).
so 4 * 87468 = 349872.
if i ran 6x flame it'd be 53497 * 6 = 320982.

granted, i have some more jewel sockets (14), but even if i take out 4 jewels, the 4+1+1 still comes out on top. now i understand this build probably doesn't have the sockets for it because of the spectre setup, but i wanted to point out that 4+1+1 is actually just flat out better :D

Planning to run this for the flashback event.

Being messing around leveling with it a bit just running through act 1 so far. What would be the best setup to run while leveling?

To me dmg seems slightly low with zombies / raging fire spirit. Are skeletons worth running aswell or not?

Also I don't know too much about summoners. While leveling when you are able to use spectres can you only use 1 at a time? What gem / item would allow for more spectres? I'm just looking to see if there's any items to look out for while leveling in the flashback event
