Questions about golems

Hello thank you for taking the time to read my thread.


I am trying to make a golem build like many others but some basic things escape me.


Namely:


1. Fire golem aura - does that boost my damage or all golem damage?

2. Elemental damage / Fire/Cold/Lightning - does that boost damage to golems, in the same way "minion damage" boosts their damage? Or is it better/worse. Of course the corresponding element only applies to the right golem.

3. Cast speed - affect golems?

4. Increased skill effect duration - not from a support gem, would this help golems too? For example from a vaal'd belt?

5. I assume golems are not considered an "Attack skill". Because looking at skill gems none are really labeled as "attack" skills.

6. Liege of the Primordial - in plain English you can boost your X/Y/Z damage if you have X/Y/Z golem. I assume this in no way boosts golem damage?


Sorry if this has been asked a lot already, I couldn't find anything neither here nor on the wiki.

1) It boosts your damage, does nothing for the golems

2) No damage modifiers that does not specify 'minion damage' boosts damage to any minions. Fire, frost, elemental, spell on the tree do nothing. However a golem gets a damage increase from a support gem like Controlled Destruction

3) If cast speed is given to them by haste or the primordial eminence jewel, yes. Otherwise, no

4) Does not help

5) They're considered minions and spells

6) Correct, it only boosts your damage.

The way to scale damage is to use the jewel ' Primordial Harmony' and stack a lot of them. If you want to look at how a high-end golem build looks, check my profile for my character 'Hexaluna' - I have a total of 12 jewels that benefit golems
