Exile golem +skelies

[Jerkazoid]

well i was just having this hypo talk about making a golem from Exile shield. the defiance does turn on and seems real nice.


has this come up before? i didnt do a search and i never come to necro chat.. i dont really play many necro characters

the life tap will that alow skelies to leech?

so lets see most expensive killer setup?
exiled iron golem (WHEW.. dont let him die)
lots of good skeletons
Might merc with doom weapon
CTA BO and such
switch to Beast on necro. Summon a grizzly
then a teleporting necro.. so all the guys stack around him.. is that wild or what?

It's terrible expensive and there are some combo's do not work that well together.

Life leach overrides your curse (amp).
Defiance + thorns from Iron Golem is not a good combo.
Holy Freeze Aura means less corpses.

Grr pIER

It has come up before. You should see what some people are prepared to sacrifice just to make an IG.

Yes, it will allow the Skellies to leech. But you could also just cast LT instead of sacrificing a good item just to make an IG.

ive never used IGs before, so id like a clarification...


do they dissappear in between games, cuz it would suck to use a rare item everytime...

makes sense;)

though it would suck if you accidently summoned over your [insert awesome item] IG

They can easilly get killed if several tough monsters hit them. Also they occasionally get trapped in cul-de-sacs or whatever when you are moving around and dissapear. It is fun to turn odd bits of equipment into IGs but is too risky to base your main strategy around something expensive like an Exile runeword.

For instance, I often turn the spare IK mauls and windhammers into IGs and they can be fun for a while watching the golem get crushing blows on a boss and killing devilkins in a hit or two. But don't rely on him sticking around for long ... which is a real pity, Golems got nerfed badly in 1.10 :(

Well clay golems are really nice tanks now. Dmgwise they still suck , but they're great tanks.

Don't forget you lose your lovely IG if YOU die. I know I'm not the only one whos stepped into a badly-placed tp and met a wave of unexpected soul love.

(forgot necros get the LT anyway) :bonk:


well it still sounded hella tough,

the ability to get defiance + might + fanata + holy freeze on a necro with tons of minions and just tele around real conservativly

the defiance with thorns is bad idea bc-
they get hit less? or is def somehow changing the returned dmg?

id prefer them to not get hit,, the IG was just an excuse to get another aura

how does indestructiblility? repair? or replenish work on IG?

[Necrochild313]

Nowadays if you go for an iron golem you don't pump the actual golem but golem mastery, so thorns isn't an issue IMO. You don't want the IG to get hit!

durability effects have no effect on an IG ;)

That was in the old iron golem faq that unfortunately was lost when the forum hiccuped.

[Jerkazoid]

tried it SP /players 8

holy Freeze with 13 mages and 14 skelies exile IG, merc, all with CTA + Defiance + might + Fanata
Amp/tap

i never been able to handle hell river of flame liek that.. i didnt goto chaos sanctuary, something told me the IM would have been too much? guess the build might need so Lower res and more mages instead
