Hi guys! You might remeber me....I posted here a ways back. I'm trying my Golemancer again cuz i'm really bored. It's gonna be W/HC/L so it should turn out horrible and die a horrible flaming death.
BUILD:
20 Clay Golem
20 Blood Golem
20 Iron Golem
20 Fire Golem
20 Golem Mastery
Rest into Curses and stuff


Playing completely untwinked and I hope you guys have any tips....which i know nobody will cuz Golemancers suck. well just thought i'd tell you my crazy idea! My account name is *TMNT-Rocky look me up if u wanna play or sumthin!

well... we know of at least *one* way to get an uber godly Iron Golem.

Step 1: create a game called 'selling anni'
Step 2: stand around going 'wug'
Step 3: when they say a metal item, you say 'okay'...
Step 4: get them to drop the metal item...

(runs and hides) :)

I'd go heavy with AI curses and LR , confuse is a ton of fun, Though not as safe as Dim.

people are very cautious these days, they wont drop their item until you drop the anni to prove u have one.

even if you do have one, they will be hesitant to drop an item, much less a metal one, if they see you're a high level necro.

24 is high enough :)

People are stupid. The greedier they are, the stupider they get. Show them something that makes them salivate, and all reason goes out the window.

u need an anni though...but when you got one, its not hard to find a victim...

people flock to anni trade games like bees to honey

I guess its clay golem and decripify all the away for you.

Another good reason why you SHOULDNT play golemancers :P

a golemmancer pure more or less, sucks,. but i have a level 29 clay golem and level 21 golem mastery for my summoner and that golem just never dies, i swear i don't recast him once, not even on a hell baal run solo, he's a tank-a-la-tank of the best

Well, even if you had to cast it once or twice it would still be awesome defense.

BUT who cares about defense? Defense does *not* win in D2. Killing monsters quickly is what it is all about.

The only true resource in D2 is time, everything else is free. No (in game) price is too high for something that will increase your killing speed.

I remember one of the early reviews for D2, they said you could 'cheat' by finding a house with a chest in the blood moor and just keep raiding the house over and over and over - infinite money and items! (they were talking about offline play, where of course your maps stay the same between games (till you change difficulty levels)).

Why does noone do this? Because to get the good stuff, you have to kill things. The more things you kill, the more chance of getting something good.

So if you're spending 30-40 points on 'a good defense', I think your build will suffer compared to someone who spends the 30-40 points on 'a good offense'.

This the big problem of having golems.
Clay golem is a good tank with slow capabilities...but mercs can tank u good eanugh (lets not forget skeletons and revives...cheap meat shields).
Blood golem is awful summon, considering it as a double-edged sword.
Iron golem thorns suck, and revived urdars can easly match his crushing blow add-ons from several items.
And lets not open the conversation about fire golems. :grrr:

IMO Necros should get better and improved golems next patch! or least get some synergies for some of them.

I'd Use IG on that kinda build with Hwains(sp??) Armor socketed with a Ruby or Diamond.

Golemmancers can't kill for ****, plus it doesnt get much more boring then listening to your golem grunting and smacking enemies over and over and over..

i thought that IM and Clay Golem might work but mainly i'm gonna go with the AI curses or Fire Golem and Lower Resist to kill enemies. I'm never soloing with this guy so that is a lot better. I don't see why people solo anyways...cuz IMO online play=play with people online. i don't care wut u guys say i'm tired of cookie cutter overpowered builds so i'm making one to have fun with! SHEESH LAY OFF ME ABOUT IT SUCKING!!

It won't (not efficiently, anyway). Aside from that, clay is the worst choice for IM because of his slow effect --- IM is slow to kill, but if the monsters are further slowed...

I'm never soloing with this guy so that is a lot better

That's a good idea... by the time you have finished bloodmoor, everybody else has finished A1-A5...
