The age old question

to max mages or not too..

which do you prefer?

which golem is best for chaos / baal?

i dont think mages are even a fraction as important as corpse explosion.

golem is easy, iron golem made from an item that gives an aura. for pvm there is no other choice than iron golem. for pvp there is no other choice than clay golem

I like mages but no, it's never worth it to max them

Clay golem better for chaos because life tap is bugged. This kills the crab.

Clay golem better for Ubers because it lowers boss damage output

Iron golem pride or beast better for everywhere else. Infinity on Merc. Hoto or beast in hand. Usually hoto

the age old answer : dont put more than 1 point in it if you must

don't max revive or mages
don't do chaos if you use iron golem

max skele/mastery
10-20 points in CE and amp
1 revive
1 summon resist

If you're not using a secondary damage skill like bone spear or poison nova you can dump the remainder of the points into golem mastery

The advice here is great. Just wanted to add that you shouldn’t even be summoning mages, even with 1 pt invested. The reason is that cold mages melt corpses and deny you a CE opportunity.

The one scenario where they’re useful is slowing/poisoning bosses when you’re badly geared e.g. hell ancients untwinked.

ah cold mages make sense!

thank you!!!

no irom golem for chaos? so blood golem?

umm

best merc is infin? fort?

Gear is
Shako
maras
enigma
arach
bks
war travs atm
trangs gloves
hoto
darkforce

cta/sigs shield
torch /annie
x4-5 summ gcs
x4-5 5 all resis scs

merc - eth fort / eth insight / eth gaze

plz lmk where i should make improvments

i do add some pts to mages for extra caster dps. But thats only cuz I have cta, merc infinity, and 7 summon gc + torch. I only add pts until I have 15 mages. I end up having 15 skeleton warriors and 15 mages. It looks bad ass.

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.

he's not talking about iron maiden



just follow this : https://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=48460552&f=87&o=0

for merc, guillaume + treachery + infinity
