Overview Yes yes yes, its "another" golemancer build, but in this thread i want to do as detailed as possible guide. Build focused around stacking Life pool and utilizing power of Primordial Jewels (dont buy Anima Stone straight, its overpriced - u can obtain this jewel from vendor recipe "Might+Eminence+Harmony") Mainly we utilize property of Primordial Harmony increase golem damage for each type of golem you have summoned. Totally we need 8 Harmony jewels (we can use 9, but it requires 100 lvl). Simple calculation: 8 jewels with high stat 20% = 160%, we use 4 type of golems 4*160% = 640% total damage and its sounds better, when we using double curse + elemental equilibrium. Our golems: 4 flame, 1 lightning, 1 ice, 1 stone If u have troubles with something - read chapter 7. Tips, Tricks, Adviсe 2. Pro/Cons Lets start with pros - All content - Any map mods, ez - Can do with MF gear - Optimal clearing speed - Cheap and good for starter build And now cons - Expensive at high end gear (not so much, estimated 12ex) - Need to learn, how ur BROs interact with u (yes, sometimes they do stupid things and u want to kill them by self) 3. Passives Necessary nodes: Jewels, Elemental Equilibrium, Double Curse
Links
Path of Building: 100 lvl, pure HP, 12 jewels
" Path of Exile: 100 lvl, pure HP, 12 jewels Path of Exile site -3.1 Bandits Simple - Kill All for 2 skill point -3.2 Ascendancy Elementalist rule the world! Cause in this ascendancy we have +2 extra golem, 20% increase damage for EACH summoned golem and golems are immune to elemental damage. In sum this nodes make more profit, than all Necromancer ascendancy. So thats the order: v Liege of the Primordial v Elemancer v Pendulum of Destruction 2 small nodes Elemental Damage and Resistances, Elemental Damage Attack and Cast Speed (cause other BIG nodes dont affect us) -3.3 Pantheon

Spoiler
Our main DPS 6-links
" SWAP option: Elemental Focus for Fire penetration Personally, i dont recommend swap Elemental Focus for Empower. We dont use Fire penetration for mapping, cause we already have Double Curse and Elemental Equilibrium (44% elemental weakness + 44% flammability + 50% EE = -138% elemental resistance) but its good option for boss killing. What about Empower? Image below:
Spoiler
 Conclusion: Empower 4 lvl is expensive and do same job as Elemental Focus (we already have tons of Life for golem, another 10k from Empower dont give us advantage). Empower "empowers" ur BRO's only when Flame Golem have total 27 lvl (+2 from Skin of the Loyal, but we dont use it/Empower 4/Flame Golem 21/20 - its VERY EXPENSIVE setup). (1) 4-links " Nothing special, default setup for cursing enemies plus activation Elemental Equilibrium (2) 4-links " In 4 link u can use HASTE, but in Bestiary i prefer craft Aspect of the Avian/Aspect of the Crab and left this 4 slot for Vaal Gems or Portal (3) 4-links " (1) 3-links " Very good defense. Nothing special. (1) 3-links " -4.2 Items Mandatory items: " Primordial Harmony total 8 jewels (9 for lvl 100). Priority stat: 19-20% increase golem damage for each type of golem you have summoned. Primordial Might total 1 jewel. Anima Stone total 1 jewel. Primordial Eminence total 1 jewel. Buy clayshapers first, +1 max golem for each. After that we need as soon as possible 2 jewels - Might and Anima Stone. Might give us new golems AI and they will be crazy as hell, Anima Stone give us +1 golem and another +1 golem when we have totally 3 Primordial jewels in our tree (like 1 Might and 2 Harmony, but if u dont have enough currency atm u can buy 3 Eminence they really cheap, like 1 chaos).
Gear in details
Helmet
Base type: Bone Helmet iLVL: 84+ Priority stats: implicit Minions deal 38-40% increased damage, high Life 100+, Resistances IMPORTANT: don't use enchats on this helm - it will rewrite Minions damage Another options IMPORTANT: this is expensive option, cause we need Enchant Flame golem have 40% increased damage. This helm give us less Life, but increase survivability for golems. Pretty good helmet for leveling.
Gloves
Base type: Any Priority stats: high Life 80+, Resistances, Dexterity (if possible) Master craft: Minions deal % increased damage
Boots
Base type: Any Priority stats: high Life 80+, Resistances, Movement Speed, Dexterity (if possible)
Rings
This ring really cheap and it looks like Decoy Totem, works perfect with bosses. Sadly, ring dont have much Life and resistances. Put Summon Ice Golem in this ring, but if u have resistances issue - use 2 rare ring. Base type: Any Priority stats: high Life 75+, Resistances, increase Fire Damage, All Atributes
Amulet
Base type: Any Priority stats: high Life 100+, All Atributes, Spell Damage, Resistances
Belt
Base type: Leather Belt Priority stats: high Life 150+, Resistances Another options HeadHunter Yes! Headhunter. Very expensive and useful belt. This item can greatly boost output damage and our survivability. In this case also can be used Vaal Breach Gem for boss fights. Bisco's Leash If u dont have trouble with resistances this belt can help with clear speed for mapping.
Body
Now i can RECOMMEND for MAIN use this item: Loreweave increase our MAX resistances up to 80, have some HP, all atributes - great body armour! Belly of the Beast IMPORTANT: This item can be mandatory, but... It has several disadvantages for this grade: 4 offcolours can eat tons of chromatics. In other - great body armour. Another options Tabula Rasa Simple as Simple Robe. Tabula Rasa +1 socketed gems. Cheap and good. Even in TR we have 5800 Life. The Perfect Form Life, free Arctic Armour, Dexterity, Phase Acrobatics but no resistance Cloak of Defiance Another interesting option. We can greatly increase EHP, but for this need to use slightly different skill tree and also have flat Mana mod on Rare items. 5. Leveling Below link to album with trees till 75 points, and after this u can go in any other directions of main tree.

Leveling until 41 lvl not so good (well, i can say it really bad and annoying part), cause we do not collect DPS nodes, but we have 2 ways: summoner or spell caster. For summoner - default gem set SRS+Zombies plus fire trap/magma orb For spell caster - freezing pulse plus zombies My new meta for leveling this build till 41 - MINES! "Minefield - Frostbolt - LMP - Mine". Its not super good choice, but it do what i need. With 2 Axiom Perpetuum mines deal insane DMG, sadly not so fast. When reach 41 lvl - take 2 Clayshaper, setup 4L RGBB (if dont have tabula or 5L RGBBB with Controlled Destruction as 5 gem) "Flame Golem - GMP - Spell Echo - Minion Dmg", 2L RR "Anger - Generosity", 3L RRG "CWDT - Phase Run - Immortal Call", 4L BBBB "Ball Lightning - Curse on Hit - Flammability - Ele Weakness" and clear content with 3 flame golem. Try Easy Lab (1100 hp req) and get 4 golem - thats all leveling guide, cause at this point u do not need any other DPS skill-gem. 6. Can be MF? IIQ/IIR
Yes!
swap Elemental Focus for Item Rarity and remove Culling Strike and 2 Ventor Gamble Gold Ring 7. Tips, Tricks, Adviсe
Boss fights
Uber Atziri
Vaals and Atziri - piece of cake. Just evade all attacks and never stop running. Main problem here - trio. Strongly recommend do Uber Atziri runs with all Jewels and golem gems at least 18/20, because of trio can melt ur BROs with desecrated ground and multiple stacks corrupted blood, and yes, u need to be alive in this room.
My tactics for trio room: 1. Vaal Summon skeletons in right upper corner (dont activate fight before this, simple moving along the border of room) 2. return to entrance and rush to the babe, use convocation, ball lightning 3. moving near the babe, evade attacks, use ball lightning and convocation if necessary 4. well, when she dies, we can breath a little better. Now we must running and find places without desecrated ground, use convocation and ball lightning. Golems can die (if their lvl/quality not maxed), so u need to control their population. Remember, one use flame golem summon two of them, so use it when 2 golems left. Personally, i prefer fight in this room without desecrate+offering, cause we need all 3 type of golems in our skill panel. Better use Vaal Haste.
Chimera Guardian
Main problem here - smoke cloud phase. U need find chimera as fast as possible. Flask menedgement needed. In phase with minions just be near one entrance. Possible help: Kiara's Determination, Eye of Chayula, Kaom roots (in this case we definitely remove our desecrate+flash offering and movement skill, but its very good option for this fight) Bad mods for this map but doable: DMG, LIFE
Minotaur Guardian
Golems can die in multiple stacks of his slams. Burrow dont kill golems (at least 20/20), but can kill you. Tactics: evade burrow, be careful. Use convocation for removing golems from slams, summon again if they die. Bad mods for this map but doable: AOE, DMG, LIFE
Double Aura?
Yes, we can do Double Aura, Best choice - Haste. Options in spoilers below.
without Enlighten
We need some nodes for reducing aura reserve. Аn obvious best way out of this situation - amulet with double curse corrupt. After that we can refund points from Double Curse nodes and add to Sovereignty circle (left side, templar).
Another options: Cospri's Will body armour or Windscream boots. Both cases we sacrificing our survivability. Expensive option Alphas's Howl with enchant Flame golem have 40% increased damage Essence Worm this ring can do instant second aura for us, but u need to decide, what ring swap for this.
Enlighten
Enlighten gem can be used as well, but in this case we need to prepare 4-link for this (and we totally lose one of this: Desecrate + Flesh offering OR our movemenet skill combo). Enlighten will work even lvl 2, cause we dont need much mana, only for Ball Lightning cast
Double aura problems: we cant resummon any golem since they have high mana cost, however, this does not concern general mapping. The solution for hard bosses is to disable one (not anger) aura. 8.

The pantheon choices seem suboptimal. Life flask charges pales in comparison to bleed reduction or any of the phys reduction nodes. Soul of the Brine King is also somewhat meh, you are seldom getting stunned and the fight it matters (Shaper) you can take the node specifically for that fight. Soul of Lunaris is certainly better for general mapping; phys reduction, MS, and dodge from projeciles.

hey there.
I couldn't find how many of each golem type to use. so, 3 flame, one ice and one lightning? ■► It's a business. You won't get the full experience.
■► Yes, this is an addiction. This is a Slot Machine. I am addicted. ■► You won't be rewarded. There is no reward. | |
" 4 flame,1 light,1 ice golems | |

Hey bro, your build is awesome however I have one concern. I have a total of 15-16 exalts of budget right now. Do you think this will be enough for fast mapping and t15/t16/guardians/shaper?

" oops, i forgot about it. First post fixed. As already said - 4 flame, 1 ice, 1 lightning "
october 2017, harbinger
Primordial Might x2 ~3 exa (u need 2 for vendor recipe Anima Stone - just sell to vendor one of each jewel Might+Eminence+Harmony) Harmony x10 ~1.5 exa Eminence ~1 chaos Clayshaper x2 ~2 alchemy summon flame golem 21/20 ~2.5 exa OR 20/20 ~5 chaos other gems 20/20 ~3 exa tabula +1 ~1 exa rare items with needed mods ~1 exa total ~12 exa well, this is an approximate calculation. U can do shaper/phoenix/hydra with mandatory items even in tabula and rares (while dead). Chimera/Mino need to be careful and better with good rare items. Mapping fast enough with 19/20 gems.
