Is cold damage really that prevalent on east? I never bothered with Rhyme on Slam for cbf, just went with deaths for vs blizz sorcs (loss of mdr isnt nice but I prefer keeping the damage). Vs windys I would have used a rhyme if I had one and maybe the odd tvt if there was a weird combination of characters but overall I prefer a rare.
Fire golem has a couple of uses that most people dont bother using. I use blood golem when I just need a body to eat arrows (although even that, although easier on mana than fire golem, Im very selective with at times because of the mana cost).
No, its more for the tvts where you're going to have the chance to do something in those matchups cuz of teammates that you'd otherwise lose. But, if you're significantly better than your opponent who's on a windy or sorc, you might need the cbf to get the win, because even if you're better, you're already in a deep fuckin hole in those matchups, and it can be enough of an edge to pull out the wins more reliably and/or with less headache.

Nah, the cbf really doesn’t matter except for a couple matchups and even then you’re more than likely gonna die... the reason for rhyme is it’s just one of the best shields at the best price for a nec, finding decent nec shields is hard whereas 3/3 bases are in everyone’s pickit these days.
I remember doing cow runs back in the day to just find plain 3 spear heads to make rhyme... good times.
And then you'd find someone who already had unraveller base 3 spirit so they didnt want your head cuz it wasnt unraveller and had different str/block/etc... was a pain in the dick lol.
