Iron Maiden got removed ages ago.

The max damage setup would be you wearing Beast, your Merc is wearing Infinity and your Iron Golem is made out of Pride.
This gives you Might, Fanatism, Conviction and Concentration.
Infinity because it boosts the fire part of your Corpse Explosion, it deals nice damage and got crushing blow on the weapon which gives you more freedom with the helmet and armor which depend on the infinity weapon and the ias bp you want to hit.
To keep your Iron Golem safe try to get Golem Mastery as high as possible, 40 being a great number, and teleport a lot to reset your Golem. There used to be a bug where the Iron Golem just disappears once he strays too far from you and I don't think Blizzard ever fixed that.
Iron Golem with 40 Golem Mastery has 8400 Life, heals 161 life per second and has 0 fire, 0 cold, 50 lite and 100 poison resis. Pretty much indestructable.



it's a bug with life tap. If the golem has that curse on him, he will get one shotted by baby Diablo. Woops there goes my pride aura.

the only things likely to kill him are uber lilith, diablo clone, andarial, ubers and life tap in chaos.
If you don't go to those places often then pride or beast golem is perfectly fine

Personnaly, i've done tons of Chaos run with a Pride Iron Golem and he never died. As soon as a minions gets close to the Oblivion Knight(Caster) they only cast Decrepify. Additionally, they dont always cast Life Tap. They also use Weaken, Amplify Damage and Lower Resist.

It worth the risk and if you see your Golem under Life Tap and a Monster is close to him, Teleport him away.

Also, Skeleton are much more faster than the Iron Golem. So they gets to the front line before your Golem, reducing the chance of getting hits.

Thank you for all the imput!

Finishing up this character i have done some things to improve my build from previus seasons


Getting Golem mast to 40
(works great)

1 into mages (does ok for 1 point )

all into curses but attract / confuse one


However im still left with a couple questions

Hoto for resis? or beast for aura?

My resis isnt awesome with beast!

Also

Spirit or Homu?

anyone key in on these things?

hoto+spirit or hoto+darkforce
I prefer darkforce but that's just me

hoto is 3 all skills/40 fcr/40 res/15% mana regen
Hitting the fcr bp = faster corpse explosion = higher damage output, as well as moving between areas faster
