Is it correct to say it's IG with Pride (or another aura) or no IG at all in your opinion?

I highly doubt it, with the delay the skeletons have between attacks, your merc is doing almost the same damage than 15-17 skeletons, while the same number of mage skeletons do a bit more than half that damage (they are a bit annoying sometimes in small areas, but they are not as useless as many people think), so switching to act1 merc you are going to loss a lot of damage just from the merc.

But that is not the main problem, yes, you will have a lvl15 fana, but you are going to loss a lvl 20+ might, so damage wise your minions are going to end almost the same, while your merc is not going to do almost any damage at all.

Last wish for my necro?

I'd have to stop eating food for 3 months to afford it though!

A might merc with infinity + a pride golem is your best setup, holding either hoto or beast on yourself.
If you run a lot of chaos your golem is vulnerable to life tap, so you could easily justify using insight golem instead. If you’re not using insight, pride or beast on the golem you can just run clay golem. None of these other options is good on a golem because you don’t really want your golem to attack. Ever.

Endless cbaals aren’t ideal endgame content anymore so there’s not much reason to ever run chaos on a summoner these days if you’re geared enough to be considering pride golems.

I think “ insight” is a best choice : cheap and give infinite mana for CE.

Thanks god they fixed the ethbug in shields and armor.

Its either pride or insight

but remember once you make it out of Pride you will probably spend more time thinking about the golem instead of playing the game. You will have a hard time relaxing, getting careless, etc. D2r is gonna be like a second job watching that health bar on the upper left corner.

Well a lot of people enjoy hc after all

The golem is close to 20k hp is not dying anytime soon, even with the life tap bug, but it's true that in Chaos you have a special care for him.

He only die if you die, but that makes the death overpainful.

Be careful teleporting around tho, not sure in d2r in d2 with IG teleports are a bit clumsy (small bug) and you need to re click time to time to keep moving.

Nice guide
I was wondering
Make it in rift, maybe usefull?
Together with infinity merc, frozen orb damage aint bad
And you get a semi holy freeze

If u summon a iron golem from a metal grid it will grant him the alblility to summon more iron golem..


Haha just kidding.

I would stick to insight.
