I do. It's somewhat embarrassing, but I'm just not good enough to play without it.



I know what you mean about being less likely to die in a place that you have a vivid memory of dying before. But in this case, I was 100% prepared for it. I looked at my curse, looked at my golem, wondered if I should go back to town, summon the golem ahead of me or just walk through the doorway. I decided to prioritize efficiency because I was sick of going back to town to remove curses. I don't feel like I learned anything from the experience, all 3 options still seem equally bad to me.

Casting Attract around blind corners while cursed is a tactic I didn't think of and could be less problematic than the previous 3 options.



Yea, but I'm used to those rips also coming with learning. That's kinda what makes HC good, because you internalize your mistakes and become a better player over time. But in the case of this necro, I felt stumped and didn't learn anything until seeking advice in this thread.


It's not embarrassing to use save & exit, it's efficient! Keep using it. Going to town and removing curse is not bad either depending on how strong your char is.

Base stats, which I could make golem more tanky with golem mastery (haven't figured out which I like more: points into golem or mastery). Where LR is at my level, it takes like 2-3 points to increase from -61 to -62... so no need to put that many points into it.

golem mastery is op! Bone wall is 100% wasted imo. I have 8 hard points in LR, rest into BONE WALL after nova synergies obviously.

yeah. i know this is higher level (i didnt see you say anything about no LRW.)

LR could have 1-3 points, +lvls are easy enough. also can take away the extra points into skeles/extra golems/revives at that point. I didnt use until late game. If you feel like you need more meat shields, get revive sooner, but it'll cost you some golem/psn/LR points.

would agree, but i've never had golem die unless might/extra strong/fanat archers. and I prefer the protection while going into pits lvl 2.

however, putting points into bone armor is less valuable than points into bone wall. check the damage absorbs per level vs synergy absorb per level on wall.

Oh, nice! SCHOOLED. I only have 180 absorb :(


E: Golem mastery is mandatory with iron golem, I guess u can skip it if u run clay.

I use treachery on melee chars (obviously) but I don't feel like it's an option on this char. As much as I miss the -curse duration, I don't feel like I can afford to wear a 0 fcr item in that slot.


fcr?
it scales neither your dps nor your mobility
it really shouldn't be a priority
