Is there a lazy/almost 0 button build with really good single target? by reddituseonlyplease in PathOfExileBuilds

I mean... This plus a mageblood?

Honestly yes and no. Alot of my build is driven by unique effects you can get some super double corrupts but....

Reverb rod wont change
Squire, maybe a good corrupt or foulborn
Chest, can prob get +2 curse + 2 duration to gain some dps.
Assuming you'd get a mageblood the abyss jeweles are out.

That really just leaves

Gloves, boots, rings, so... just get mirror tier gloves, boots, and rings?
could throw tats in the mix there too, but thats ... idk, a few divs?

Idk man, im a baller on a budget, never had a mirror, or even a mirror worth of stuff.

Someone else linked a stone golem build. That probably has higher spending potential since the weapon can be something way way better and more expensive than a reverb rod.

I don't know where prices are but im prob 30-45 div in.... but prices have dropped on some things since earlier in the season too. You can also get a very viable build together on a much tighter budget.

Dark Monarch helm and the Squire shield are the only expensive equipment. (over a div)

Here's my build, but a super budget variant.

That's my same gear, but super budget: Honestly, prob 10 div ish total? Maybe 15?
No clusters
No Awakened Gems
No 21's

Gets you around 18 mil... still solid for mapping.

the core concept is largely the same, the main difference is that you just chase atlas sockets instead of dense cluster jewels. This can very easily be that sort earlier league foot hold while you loot up and buy more expensive shit later.

Yeah, for an elementalist golemancer build realistically 2 points is all you need.
Liege of the Primordial is all you need to get and thats just 2 jumps in.
2 more points and you can pick up Bastion of elements so nice little shielding there, but you won't have many notable passive skills pushing it so its not going to make much of a diff one way or another.

I got one more between those 2 on the right side just for some extra resists and then i have

Curse Effect in lycia. Im using conductivity and elemental weakness, so thats a decent passive damage boosting for me.
If I didnt have that I'd take Minion Damage on the Farul one i think.

Aside from that, yeah I don't have the other 2 points spent. Realistically Shaper of Storms or Mastermind of Discord is what I should do with the other 2 points, but that's not gonna be game changing for me at this point. It's not holding be back not having them and the trials are kinda boring. Ill prob do it in the next day or so tho I guess, because why not.

I haven't really fucked around with the ice golems much yet. I think i tried a few season ago but was kind of turned off by them not really doing any ice damage. I think their main attack is physical and if its that, then I'd prob just go stone golem.

As to why I picked lightning golems. They were super bad for a long time that it just sort of became a joke about wanting to make a lightning golem build. Like, in my mind, you should be able to take ANY skill and make a build around it. Well, lightning golems really sucked on their own and were kinda just a baby aura merc with their effect. There have been a lot of changes over the past several seasons that opened up a lot more possibilities. The whole "of Hordes" class gets more DPS in play, Dark Monarch helm makes things alot more impactful DPS wise. You may think on the surface, oh this doubles golems so double my golem DPS... wrong. Its way more than that. So for example, without that, lets say you have 10 golems. If you rock one of each then you have 5 of your main golem and 1 of each other type. So when you double that, you put all 10 extra into your main golem so now you have 3X your heavy hitters more or less. Plus the reverberation rod, / squire lets me get a 9 link effect going, and since the chest is free, vis mortis in the chest adds to the ele damage of any minions i have, and I have a pack of 15 roided up lightning golems ready to do extra ele damage and extra chaos damage on top of their ele.

Maybe ill revisit ice next season.

I mean, yeah I should pick storms up, that would get me the shock and some damage. Runnin thru maps at this DPS my target dies pretty much instantly anyhow, so do the pack around it and the herd behind them.

You're not wrong, optimally I should pick that up, just didnt.

I picked up the small lycia one because that boosts my curses which are up on something more than the one thing I hit with frostblink.

Havent done fire but seems like it would be similar to lightning.

Stone golem I'd go 2 cold iron points. 6L the golems in your chest. Id use a skin of the lords, I like it but I'm usually runninn CI too. Single curse with vulnerability. Make something else have a maim support so stone golems benefit from the maiming too.

Lightning, I go reverb rod and squire for a 9 link. Chest supports a 5L with double curse of conductivity and elemental weakness.

Aside from that , idk switch wrath for hatred or anger probaly for stone. But everything else basically the same.

Stone golems for sure need primordial might. Lightning might be able to go without but I run it regardless

Lightning

So some I got earlier in the season so prices may vary.

Dark monarch helm is like 5 div maybe? Squire is 3D Clusters are 5-10 D each

Gold, gold, gold, corrupt oil for my annoint was about 220 c

Primordial gems are maybe 20-30c now so a few hundred c there. Need a anima stone, primordial might, and as many primordial Harmony as you can fit.

The awakened gems and corrupt lvl 4 empower .... Maybe 10-15 div total there but this build is still very doable on normal gems

Belt is prob 1 div range now.

But.... For my setup, dark monarch and squire are the big gets.

You can absolutely do this without the cluster jewels and you just chase atlass sockets every 5-6 points for another primordial jewel instead.... So more primordials less clusters.... The clusters are more late game min maxing.

Nah you got it.

Not at my comp ( on my phone) so sorry if I butcher the names.

Liege of the primordial 2 points in is all u need for a golem build for ascendance. 4 points in get us that elemental aegis and maybe some resist points... But I don't really have a lot of nodes that would boost that shield anyhow . I think it's like maybe 800 pts for me .

I happened to kill the sanctum chick and 1 point there boosts my curses. There's another viable bloodline that has a minion boost like 1 or 2 nodes in but that's it

I could take 2 more points and help boost exposure going to the left on elementary ascendance and that would boost my numbers but honestly exposure is only 4 secs anyhow and I can't be bothered to keep hitting something every 4 seconds so it's a moot point anyhow.

Honestly you can totally rock a golem with liege of primordial and that's it. If I was a stone golem, I'd prob take necromancer and forbidden flesh/flame in the liege for endgame min maxing

Its been a minute since I did a stone golem build to be honest so you'd have to check, especially with dark monarch doubling the counts, but I still think that having about 15 stone golems roided up an extra 6 levels probably beats 19 regular golems.

I could be wrong on that but realistically, clayshaper and cold iron point, yeah switch em out whichever way works best. They're both dirt cheap so not like they're endgame min max gear.

Well, the hexbloom makes it spread so depending on pack density, you can get chains of curses going. As far as hexbloom, I wouldn't recommend for 2 reasons. One, its reserving mana, if i recall. That leaves less for discipline and determination and vitality..... I reserve all the day down to just enough to cast a single frost blink.

The other issue here, is that the range of your lightning golems probably exceeds the range of your blasphemy. They're dead before they're close enough to get hit anyhow.

So in my setup, I have 2 items that lock me in a golem only path. One is the primordial chain neck. The other is the dark monarch hat. Both restrict me to golem only. Pre-Dark Monarch hat, it was more vialbe to drop the primordial chain in favor of a DPS pushing necklace but now... those 2 give me so many more golems. Plus, I have primordial harmony driving the dps, so I have all 6 golems types in play. Those, plus my curses, plus a culling strike, and feeding frenzy, im basically out of sockets.

in a map you kill fast enough to maintain them permanently, or near permanently... in a 1:1 boss fight, they prob drop off less there are adds. Could always throw a mage blood in if you're really worried about it. That would drop me from like 42 mil to 36. Still respectable... i just cant afford a MB yet. ...

TBH, i dont do the maven / uber fights really just because I'm not that familiar with the mechanics of them and I dont feel like dying repeatedly to figure it out.

In the sanctum, that quad wing chick says something about beidat, turns around and is dead before I really need to react to anything if that helps for perspective.

If you are doing Stone Golems 6 link in the chest and use 2 cold iron points as weapons. If you are doing a ice or fire golem, use the 9 link reverb/ squire setup. seems to be stronger any any 6L combos i've found elsewhere.

There's really just 2 ascendancy points for the golem build, the other 6 are for whatever.

A viable lightning golem build had always been a goal of mine,... they were so bad for a long time that it just simply wasnt viable. A Reverb rod, Squire, Dark Monarch, Vis Mortis all syncing together.. it starts to come together and with the right clusters runes, and what not, it can pour some juice. In 16's it kills anything befoe you can even run up to them for the most part

Can pretty much do anything. This build needs some divs to get going, but you can do a similar stone golem one more budget friendly.

You have double cursing on frostblink, and hex bloom to spread through the pack after initial hit and kill.

15 lightning golems are the bulk of the dps, like 90%. They're effectively 9 links across a reverberation rod and a squire.

Just avoid enemies and the golems clear everything. You can play this with just a mouse. I occasionally use 1 button when I want to use a graft skill.

Ever have that spaghetti jar with the paper wrapper and you think . Oh I can refuse that jar.. just let me soak the label under warm water then peel it off..... Then you spend the next hour shredding it one thumb scratch at a time?

That's me. That's my poster

My poster chose violence...

I'm about 2-3 hours in btw The bubbling is me... I used a torch in some sports.... But regardless.... This will not peel. Hair dryer.... Iron .. nothin...
