[3.26] Chaos Golem of the Maelstrom - The Better RF/DO - Easy/Fast T16 and T17 - Budget/League Start

Hey! Thanks for your build. Playing with it right now. Pretty fun!
I need to know, how did you make your minions survive all the damage in some difficult cases?
I made purely same setup (right now some of stuff missing, because another person plays too on my acc) and a bit more survivability for minions\less damage and anyways they die like "flicking a pest" on T17 map bossfights, delirium, expedition on t16+ with scarabs.
I lost my animate guard 2 times and spectres like 7-8 times (especially die fast warlord).
Can you, please, describe what is possible to change in your build to make minions much more tanky? (less damage - okey)



P.S. srry if my English not good.

Thank you very much for this build! Using it right know. Thinking of maybe even league starting it in the next leagues. If you have the time to do a progression or levling session it would be greatly appreciated :)

lvling help would be good for people like me that have no idea of minion progression and lvling (been playing since open beta and this is the first minion build ive ever done)


im almost past that hurdle now so it doesnt help me much but would be a useful addition to the guide.


also the pob is confusing cause the tree doesnt change with your different versions. tbh nothing really clearly changes.. maybe thats cause pob wasnt updated last you did this i dunno.

im really not sure what is entry /mid /expensive based on the pob. its just not that clear for someone who has no history if minions.

that being said thanks for the base of a build and an idea. im having fun , just need to get some currency now to fix stuff
