[3.5] The Soviet Golemancer! BV for dmg, 8 Golems for Defenses! Still good :)

You have very few jewel slots in your tree and no Clayshapers, so I'm assuming that BV will be your main source of damage and golems will be there only to provide buffs and a bit of supplementary DPS for mapping. In that case, wouldn't it be better to just drop most of the Primordial jewels and run the golems via self-cast or CWDT?

You'd lose:
40% increased damage (Elemancer with 2 fewer golems)

You'd keep:
All 5 different golem buffs (3 from P.Chain, 2 from Ascendancy passives)

You'd gain:
~30% increased damage, life, and/or ES per jewel slot

Starting a league with Golems, is just not good in general. Unless you don't care about having an optimum build for quite some time.

Yea, but the Golems don't make or break the build, they're just one component to give us an extra layer of defenses. The only somewhat expensive items would be Anima and Might, and without them we still have 6 Golems which will allow the build to work just fine while we fill out our atlas.

Plus, Anima and Might have been really cheap the last couple of leagues, so if that trend continues then we benefit even more. The Primordial Chain is a lvl 34 and is so niche, it doesn't seem like it will be ridiculously rare or in high demand so that will hopefully also be very cheap.

Let's wait for tmr to see if BV can survive in 3.4 without being nerfed heavily because it is clearly op right now anyway.
