Hi, I just started this build and I'm currently in act 6, but I feel that it severely lacks damage. I just died to Expedition encounter because there was a mob 'Druid of The Circle' and he was spawning other mobs and had a giant shield thing on himself, my golems could not do anything to him. Will this build get better damage after the acts? I'm following the passive tree but cannot yet afford clayshapers.


I would run heists till you get enough to buy clayshapers.
2x clayshapers will fix all your dps problems.

Some expedition mobs are crazy hard.
I skip them. but thats a personal choice.

Hi Odif, I see you are not specing into the 25% chance to get unholy might on kill... not worth it ?


I did not, as it does little vs bosses.

But its a choice, if you want more clear dps, go for it.
Can`t find the mod "+1 to level off all minion skill gems" on poe.trade. :-(

Any suggestions?

Thank you.
Did you throw golem build? Why you start new one?

I got bored.

I have played minions too many times.
way too many times.


Plus, while I think the build is great for league start.
I was able to easily generate a lot of currency, but...
Its not that great for going deep into the endgame.

Minions are worse off by the 3.19 than I had anticipated.
Animate Guardian in particular seems to be non viable late game.

I will make changes to the build, accordingly.
OK
I have removed Animate Guardian from the build, as the 3.19 changes make it too hard to keep alive in high tier maps.

Feel free to use one if you want to live dangerously :)
Ok, I updated the PoB link to indicate Clayshapers are the goal, as they are MUCH cheaper than I predicted 2 days before leaguestart.

I also removed all mention of Animated Guardian.
AG's are just too squishy this league.

Added a bit in the leveling hints on how low level Heisting is a good way to get currency.
How would you compare this build with Maw of mischief stone golem build? Which one is suited for bossing?
