Why didn't you nerf the golem builds instead of the golems?

I use a stone golem for the regen buff only as I am an Earthquake Juggernaut. Now the golem dies quickly unless I'm able to taunt everything off of it. It died easily before but at least it was able to keep the buff up most of the time.

Reading the description, it sounds like only the damage of the golem is being nerfed, not it's life or durrability. Those using the golems for the passive buffs should not be affected. We'll need to see the patch notes to know for sure. It's the Specter gem that is getting the level iof the summon cut, which will affect the durability of the specters.

Op, use cwdt with sg. Problem solved.

Umm I don't think Stone Golem was nerfed. Carrion Golem skill gem was significantly nerfed, Golemancer/Elementalist ascendancy had its damage significantly nerfed, cluster jewel passives for golems were nerfed. Stone Golems weren't touched (as far as we know).
So umm, they did nerf golem builds instead of golems.

They did. Every build other than golemancer wont feel the nerf - some of those will be even buffed (like Elementlist that uses golems for buffs, not as main damage source)

They didnt touch the Golems life though, only its damage so survivability shouldnt be an issue still.

Ah, I stand correctly. The nerf doesn't effect the OP at all though. No health/defense/buff nerf. I am guessing he just managed to get to harder content where his golem can't hang as well.
