Is it possible to make a golem that can actually kill things in Hell?

iron golem out of bonesnap or other crushing blow item (ribcracker, guilomes face, not many items available, but most of them cheap)

I don't recall Ribcracker being made of metal. IK maul or Windhammer will have to do.

Wait, here's a great el cheapo: Rixot's Keen!

Also, is the golem's ias affected by the base ias of the weapon golemized? Or it uses just the object's ias?

Uh... I really doubt anyone who takes 3 weeks to get 3 high runes is just going to blow them on a golem.

Do golems even stick with you between games? and if they do.. what about a lag spike? I know the Necro is the most lag resistant of the classes, but.. what if? There goes the sweet HotO you got drunk and turned into a golem.

They definitely stick with you between games, hence the point of using them out of Pride, Infinity, or Insight. I don't see the point of Hoto though...

Base IAS doesn't affect the Golem. Only extra IAS on the object.

bonesnap is arguably the best item for a killing iron golem, due to crushing blow, and fire/cold res. With descent level of summon resist it would be near impervious to elemental attacks.

If the item was socketed, would the bonus from the gem/rune/jewel apply also to the golem? I figure it would. And one of the best items may probably the expensive windhammer or Cranium Basher. Wind got 50 crushing blow and 60% IAS. Basher on the other hand has 75% cb, 20% ias, 25 to all resists. This also makes me wonder if Basher's
4% Chance To Cast Level 1 Amplify Damage On Striking also works on the golem.
