hey all,

topic says it all, looking for the best item to make an iron golem out of in HC for a summon necro. Ive done a lot of different items in the past, but would like to know what people think is the best item? I currently have an extra pride and death runewords laying around, but can buy something else if it is better. In the past ive most commonly used either a reapers toll or a pride.

thanks in advance for input!

What build?

I played hybrid:
-20 ce
-20amp
-20skele
-20mastery
-revive/res

Merc infinity + amp 20 + ce = 2 screens dead
Iron golem insight = cheap if die


E: sry didnt read ita summon

If u're playing with beast, good idea is pride.

I would run merc with

Andy, pride, bramble

And insight golem, imo on p8 he can die if you cant keep him close.


But it all depends on your team. What auras do they use.

Damn, huge team. You should swap for ce, summons are useless for this in my opinion :D i would go for sanctuary as dr lecerd said with that team.

Imo for single playing better is insight only.

Given all the other auras and your “team” - just put something fun like a Phoenix, dream, or HoJ, some fun aura, cause no matter what you put into it you’re not really gonna see an improvement, game length is gonna be the same since you’re not playing solo or anything like that
