Not anymore as long as you don’t unequip the amulet ^_^


Dang ... looks like I have to revisit the 2006+ D2 LoD days with the introduction of the runewords.

Metalgrid Amulet is awesome ... but you have to build around it:

Required Level: 81
+400-450 To Attack Rating (varies)
Level 22 Iron Golem (11 Charges)
Level 12 Iron Maiden (20 Charges)
All Resistances +25-35 (varies)
+300-350 Defense (varies)
(Ladder Only)
(Only Spawns In Patch 1.10 or later)
_________________

What your character build gains:
+400-450 To Attack Rating
All Resistances +25-35
+300-350 Defense

Now you have to choose the items and skills required to benefit:
Level 22 Iron Golem (11 charges) ... and items available to you to reproduce etc
Level 12 Iron Maiden (20 charges) ... and how to use them etc? Build type / Classes etc.

There are only three(3) benefits with with this amulet:
#1 Attack Rating
#2 All Resistance 25-35 AND
#3 300-350 Defense.

None of these should be scoffed at.

??? I only copy/pasted the stats for other readers to comprehend the BS behind the question and the Answers given by veterans giving advice so they could be on par... but then... you just had to jack off to your hype... grats... here is a "WALRUS" clap for your achievement of being a "Seal" ... (insert Walrus / Seal sounds:)

EDIT: Yup, an EDIT... so... what character build can utilize the mods from the Metalgrid Amulet? ... what you don't fucking know, but you shit on my comment... dude... the only head bonking you see is from looking at your reflection in a mirror making a dumb post.

EDIT2:

Best set up is a2 might merc with infinity and insight iron golem and beast in main hand but that imo is not worth the tradeoff hoto provides. Unless you prefer to walk or like to purely watch your army do all the work. In which case you can also swap insight for pride to do even more damage

If you go with with a1 merc you lose might and a significant amount of merc damage not to mention cb against bosses. Insight means you can max ce and spam it without chugging pots every 5 sec. Everything drops like flies so the speed to cast your spells becomes more important.

Remember your army is there to make the first corpse for you while you blast the entire screen with CE.


Damn... that is just a simple Nec right?

More gibberish. It's for a sorc build. Doubt it'll work since the golem will have very little defensive stats but it has potential to compete with self weild infinity nova sorc if it can survive.

Enough of your ramblings gramps. You need to be put in a home

Why the fuck didn't you say so in your post:

Anyone try using an iron golem for pvm on anything besides a necro?

I’m curious if they just die super easy on anything other than a necro with golem mastery and summon resist to huff it up


Oh Damn... can you not even look at your own first post and debate properly... I stated the following:

And then you responded with your shit... oh you want to a re-cap on your replies???

Nooooooo :(
Thought I was going to big brain my light sorc with infinity golem and use eschutas, frosties, 20/20 jmos.

So it just gets 1 tapped by venom lords n shit?


Yay... you mentioned Light Sorc, however my post was about re-evaluating your CHARACTER BUILD... a light sorc using a Metalgrid Amulet is pointless because you don't build around the modifiers of the "Metalgrid Amulet", HOWEVER, you could create a different build (stated in my speil).

Your response to a semi good idea is this (not ideal for a Light Sorc, end of story):

Yea true. I’ll just buy something from charsi though. Neither wep has any survivability stats really so should give me a good idea. I suspect he’s just going to melt. I thought maybe the triple rep aura from merc might help keep him alive but 1k life and 0 fire res is kind of instant death I think


ETC... etc ... etc... etc... and so on.

You failed to see the value of my post and also those from others... go and research more.

Yes it is true - i see no value in any of your posts. Including the above rant. Are you senile?

So be it, however, you want to create a Lightning sorc and diminish the build using Metalgrid amulet when you are better off using a Mara's amulet (at the same drop rate % as a metalgrid amulet) just for a 5 minute Iron Golem when you could do more runs without it and not waste items on creating it? ... damn... you may as well use a Saracen's Amulet.

Do your research a bit more and you don't need to ask.

EDIT: sorry... this is better:

Seraph's Hymn*
Amulet

Required Level: 65
+2 To All Skills
+1-2 To Defensive Auras (Paladin Only) (varies)
+25-50% Damage To Demons (varies)
+150-250 To Attack Rating Against Demons (varies)
+25-50% Damage To Undead (varies)
+150-250 To Attack Rating Against Undead (varies)
+2 To Light Radius
(Ladder Only)
(Only Spawns In Patch 1.10 or later)

The fact that you recommend maras on a light sorc shows how braindead you are XD

If the iron golem could survive it would be a viable and near meta build. As is - i can use the same setup but just forgo the insight iron golem or if static dmg is subpar ill just swap back to self wield infinity.

This topic was over stop bumping it you idiot.


I edited my post to prove a point, but then... here it is for you... you will most likely not reply with this being an edit.

EDIT2: I guess it boils down to Kill speed vs another tank merc when you only teleport using a bot... I don't use a bot, I use skill and knowledge of the map and monster spawns for said area(s)

I.E. Cold plains in Hell difficulty... 90% are cold immunes ... wow... go to Chaos and 90% (Hell Diff) are fire immunes etc and so forth.

...
...
Hey... want to do Countess... Fire / Cold Immunes... but many Immune Physical... but, go to Mausoleum.... Lightning Immune undead + archers + phys immune etc.

There are many more... Nihlathok... now this one is great, but most monsters in the area are ... poison / light / cold immune ... but you need DR especially with vipers that may spawn. ... yup... knowing what types of monsters spawning in the areas help you build a better build... but you have to compromise... thus... Metalgrid Amulet is SHIT on a Light Sorc.

Why don't you just go with infy on normal arc2 merc and crescent moon in hand

Deff the most dmg of all of this options. If you have convi from merc, even CM+Spirit will give you more dmg than self wield infinity, but if you go with CM+jmod, so much better.
