Poisonmancer's pet

[szenhidrat]

So i'm making a poisonmancer and have read the topic for it.But i don't like skellies in this build and i was thinking what about a golem asa pet for a PM?
What do u think?Is a golem "enough" for a poisonm through hell diff?
And witch golem to choose?Blood sucks, clay dies very quickly so iron and fire remains.Witch is better iron or fire?Thanks.

with PM, do you mean poison immunes? If so, sorry, but the golems aren't good killers. They wont kill anything on hell diff. Nothing. (maybe fully synergized firegolem could kill some act1 monsters...)
Let the merc handle immunes, and put one point in clay golem and use it as a tank.

agreed. However, ever think of using a few revives for some added protection?

I find that as a venomancer that revives are next to useless because PN even without using LR kills much faster than revives do.

Well since your not wanting to use Gumby...and narrowed it down to either the rustbucket or flamer golems...You should go with the rust bucket. You skill setup would probably be like this then:

Poison dagger-max
Poison Explosion-max
Poison Nova-max
Golem mastery-max
Summon resist-1 point only
Iron Golem-1 (then rest)
Curses-1 into everything leading to lower resist...and dim vision.

You can make the rustbucket out of a runeword...and if your going to use a act2 merc...give him insight if you feel the need to have unlimited mana.

Or you can go with the act3 merc that some people use 2xdream/hoj and dragon armor on.
