jihgfee's Notes
I had a bit of traction for this build when commenting about it in the recent "off-meta builds" thread, so I wanted to share.
tl;dr: 9 mil ish ignite dps - Decent clear speed with Berek's Respite - Golem minion AI is super clunky.

The longer story:
Some of you might recall that Herald of Purity was hit with a whopping 40% less life nerf.
This was to balance out the buffs to the ignite buffs, which gave ignite 150% more damage.
That is, HoP was previously used for their base maximum life along with Maw of Mischief for some big ignites, as showcased here.
However, Stone Golems actually have even more maximum base life than (pre-nerf) HoP.
The problem is that golems take a long time to summon (6 second cooldown, 1 second cast time).
To alleviate this, we use Liege of the Primordial, which resummons our golems every 4 second.
Additionally, Maw of Mischief allows us to only pop one golem at a time, by tapping it quickly.
With 5 golems, this means that we get around 1 pop every second, which is decent enough for clear, when combined with ignite spreading from Bereks Respite.
The rest is history. Stack gem levels on golems for more maximum life, and otherwise scale ignite damage.
