How does everyone feel about 2x curses if you have the chance to use them and what ones do you prefer if you do? I am working on a new chest now that I finished my 2-hander and will have an open prefix that I could put "apply an additional curse" on. Right now I am running stormbrand + CoH + enfeeble. It will make me have to re-evaluate some gem choices but it might pay off in the long run.

Hi,

I have a problem with my golems in uber elder: My golems always died, especially aura golems.

I know my build is not perfect but i should be able to do all the content; youtubers like mbextreme with a worst build do't have problems.

thanks in advance

You should probably have a +2 minion helm and 20/20% quality on your golem gems if you're doing uber elder. You're missing an extra 26% minion life without all that

Super clean kill i'll add it to the guide. Good use of flasks and vigilant strike for Ubering. I'd been trying to work in sources of fortify but was never happy with how vigilant strike felt to use. With that link setup looks way more usable.

Why do you need to get EE for an Ice Golem build? Don't they mostly do physical? The wiki mentions most of their abilities being 100% physical. Is this wrong?

If you take Hatred the golems get about ~30% or so of their physical damage as extra cold damage. That and if you have any other Jewels with "Minions get additional x to x (element) damage". Using a lightning spell to proc EE gives cold/fire vulnerability which increases the cold damage.

A lot more due to generosity. Lvl 20 Hatred 36% * ~1.4 (generosity) = ~50% (further increased if u take aura effectiveness from tree)
