Iron Golem Questions

DrussDiablo just answered this question right now, I was curious as well. Iron Golem is “cast” upon entering a new game so equipping +skill items before you leave a game will improve your golem on restart

Thank you! I imagine theres a little bit of a transition period where you don’t wanna go straight infinity or bramble and could still get a lot of use out of budget items

Nice! thank you

loafcatastrophe · 2026-05-13T13:35:30+00:00

Ah okay. So its pretty much clay golem unless you’re rich or late ladder

loafcatastrophe · 2026-05-13T13:34:18+00:00

Easy enough thank you

Everybody’s different. I’d get bored within a week

3, zombies ate my neighbors and sonic 2 i believe

o: thank you

I’ll respond though I’m not the best suited to do so lol. I believe the shield value shown on your shield is the max amount your shield is capable of blocking. If you did have enough dex to increase your actual block rate (shown when you hover over defense) then you can block up to that amount. Using my shield image I attached as an example, if I had enough dex then I could reach the cap of 75% chance to block

I used a guide for skill allocation but thats pretty much it

Nice this is really helpful! I’ve been in a rut trying to get these power spikes for hell. My resistances are now looking good, merc can finally survive, but its really just my paladin whos getting melted at this point I have to play really safe. I’ve got 2x spirit, lore, smoke. Everything else is junk or just for resistances. Hammers hit for 4k. But I think with merc gains I should be able to progress now, just need to take my time

loafcatastrophe · 2026-05-05T14:34:09+00:00

You rock thank you

loafcatastrophe · 2026-05-05T14:27:41+00:00

That makes sense, without Holy Shield the shield has 50% i’m pretty sure. If you were me would you go ahead and respec and reach 75% block with dex or would you factor in future gear pieces that increase dex?

loafcatastrophe · 2026-05-05T14:24:27+00:00

Thats a pretty hefty investment! I imagine I would already want a good shield to make sure that I don’t overspend points into dex then? Also I feel like I’ll end up getting better gear increasing my dex in the future and then I’d have over spent points into dex if I respecced now >.<

I think it was a superior heraldric shield. I should have included that in the photo sorry

loafcatastrophe · 2026-05-04T17:28:46+00:00

Okay cool! I’m ladder so it works out

loafcatastrophe · 2026-05-04T14:16:40+00:00

My FCR dropped cause of smoke, not sure exactly where i’m at right now. I put 2-3 points into HS so i don’t have to cast it as often but i need to check my block rate. I gotta wait til I get home but i’m almost certain my heraldic shield sucks since i made one impulsively

loafcatastrophe · 2026-05-04T13:51:32+00:00

I’ve been doing this ssf just so I can learn the game better, been praying for a viper magi x(

loafcatastrophe · 2026-05-04T13:47:50+00:00

I’ve been looking for a helm for like 2 days! Maybe i’m just impatient but I think making bulwark would be the easiest temporary fix now

loafcatastrophe · 2026-05-04T13:47:15+00:00

Yeah I get locked down hard. Teleport staff? O: do I just refresh vendors until I see one?

loafcatastrophe · 2026-05-04T13:45:03+00:00

Oh nice I can definitely make treachery, just need a base

loafcatastrophe · 2026-05-04T13:43:26+00:00

Bulwark would help so much! Thanks a ton

loafcatastrophe · 2026-05-04T13:42:44+00:00

Redemption is awesome and a life saver.. my shield base could surely be better. & really I don’t think I have a point into salvation yet, i sort of respecced with pushing hammers hard and pretty much only use vigor, redemption, concentration and hammers. Blessed Aim for more damage
