i wanted to make an iron golem that wont die on me because i am thinking between bramble, plague, exile, or pride

so my first question is about the synergies and golem mastery

the synergy is blood golem which gives 5% life per invested point
is it on top of the % golem mastery gives or aditionnaly so basically right now i am fully geared so +16 to all
with 1 point in golem mastery and 1 point in blood golem

how will my golem benefit more life, from blood golem or from golem mastery?


my merc has infy mancatcher forti and andy 15ias fire res jewl socketed because with my hand held beast i get lvl 9 fana and needed 34 ias to hit last ias breakpoint on merc so andy + 15 ias jool

my thoughts go on exile for the incredible defense all my summons will get and especially the merc and the golem itself

plague would be nice for the extra free heal but i dont think its that much needed

pride adds concentration aura which everyone will benefit

bramble on the other hand i have a question about that as well, will the auras stack ? like for when you dual dream ?

since the golem has the aura and gains the item's ability

so basically if the dmg stacks or doubles or whatever it does i think i should get that one
imagine it stacks and then gives it to all the summons
and with the improvement of the thorns aura and given to all the summons i think this is the best possible scenario but i dont really know how exactly it is gonna work out

what is in your eyes the best item to use in iron golem for the ultimate sumoner?

pvm obviously

Insight - cheap to remake if he does die.

If you have decent items and skillers iron golem will never die with just one hard point in golem mastery and resistances.
But if you want to really know it you can use a calculator: http://tph.tuwien.ac.at/~gottwald/necro_pet_calculator.html
If you want more damage: use pride, if you want quality of life: use insight. The rest options are crap.

Only "insight" or" pride". I'm personnaly for "insight" : cheap and very usefull, easy replaced, if die or lose golem

synergy and mastery both give % to life, so from math-side they both work similar. Just chose whatever gives you higher value here (mastery gives 200% as well as speed and ar).

Exil is nice if you are regularly killing dia. His firestorm will hurt your golem pretty much.

If you want to go for max dam: why not chose an LW BA?
