Which base helm looks best is subjective haha
I like BV, feels in line with nec and his skellies
With enigma and beast you don’t really have any str restrictions :p

Just try the build with your current infinity.
If you want to upgrade it later on, then a high ed% GPA is the main upgrade to increase your merc kill speed


I went with BV, I tried a few on and it's a no brainer. You were right and it really does go with the whole summon the dead vibe lol.
I figured I wasn't going to find any eth brambles for sale so I made one...



Gonna reroll it cuz God damn it.

I'm guessing Insight Iron golem right? If I remember correctly, there is no point trying to prebuff Iron Golem with + skills to create it, right? Something like he spawns into the game with w/e skills you have when you enter the game?

Correct.
Anyway IG is unkillable on that build, and you can use a rand insight.

Here’s his resist on the build I linked:

Fire Resistance
170%
Cold Resistance
64%
Lightning Resistance
114%
Poison Resistance
164%

Immune to all but cold, the least dangerous element in pvm.
And your skellies disperse most phys dmg, so the only reason you would lose it is if you die yourself haha

Some armors do reduce your speed a bit, I never thought about whether it works on mercs tbh lol
