golemxodia- zero to hero - cold dot leveling - cold dot or forbidden rite endgame - high quality pob

Ascendancy points are calculated in the configs until pob is updated with correct values: Same with golems buffs. Ascend points are flexible, experiment. There are patchnotes for a bunch of passive tree buffs for cold damage / cold dot so I will implement those in the pob whenever that is released. I did not include the buffs to vortex, they were substantial. Did not include arcane surge buffs. How to follow the guide? Cold DoT Leveling trees -> 1 large cluster (big respec) (should be very cheap for this gear) (2 watchstones) -> 2 large cluster (stuff is getting expensive) (all non uber bosses, (maybe) some ubers) -> 3 large cluster (it's pretty hard to push cold dot dps, so we are jumping through hoops for righteous fire) (it's expensive endgame setup) (the only super important corrupts are the helmet, each one adds 15% dps) (t17 and ubers probably) Forbidden Rite Leveling trees -> 1 large cluster -> fr poison minimalist (1 of the three minimalist trees, if the megalos are cheap do that one) -> fr poison 1000% or fr poison flexible (if megalo are cheap do 1000%) Disclaimers _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ the cold dot build has a LOT of buttons to press. Important _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ If one of the golems is disabled in the config, you can summon 2 of your most important golem (higher chance for it to always be alive). But keep in mind of your max golems available. I did not factor in the golem levels into these buffs. So all the mods that say at level 20 are going to be a decent amount higher. (dot mult, inc dmg, acc, mana reg, life reg) Flexible setup looks to be better unless you are making use of all 5 golems. The golems do lose a chunk of hp on flexible though, so that might cause some problems in endgame content. Supposedly you can use use golems with their alt gem counterparts. So stone golem of safeguarding might be a strong investment. Kill Alira for early elemental resistance. Switch to passive point for endgame setup. If you are running the low life setups that only have 75% chaos res and 30% chaos damage taken from es before life, try not to add any extra damage as chaos modifiers on enemies. For cold DoT, there is a new mastery that gives 1% cold dot mult for 4% overcapped cold res. If you can stack a lot of cold resistance this is an insanely strong node. Questions and Answers _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Why are you using the searing / exarch implicits (While a Unique Enemy is in your Presence)? - Because we have enough damage that every content in the game will melt, only thing that is tanky will be bosses and rogue exiles probably. The dps doesn't look that great. - Check the config, uber pinnacle is probably enabled since the build goes past the dot cap. Uber pinnacle adds a 70% less damage taken mod. My golems are dieing. - Allocate grave intentions I don't have enough passive points? Which nodes can I give up? - fr poison 1k effect - faith and steel cluster - fr poison flexible - poison mastery 20%dps - fatal toxins - faith and steel cluster - 3 large cluster - divine judgement and preceding nodes Mana costs look bad in the pob - So the way mana works is as you cast your regen is actively applying. And you won't actually be sitting in place for a real long time for any content. - Anything that takes awhile to kill is going to be the big bosses with phases. The second you start moving your mana is full again. - Also I underestimated the lightning golem's mana regen it is granting us. Mana costs feel bad in game - Okay here's some solutions: - Use the reduced mana cost ring. - Swap out an aura for clarity. - Use arcane surge with forbidden rite. Stuff that might be worth looking into. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ wilmas lightning golem scaling?

I'm not exactly sure how it works. It's going to be real easy to hit 5 max golems and therefore all 5 different type of buffs. With other pieces I think we can hit over 10 golems.
