Stress-Free PoE! RIGHTEOUS GOLEMS (RF): No Required Items! 1-Button Play! SSF League Start-End! 3.13
Thinking about running this build this league, how is it on Single-Target/Boss Killing? That's one of the things I've struggled with in the past and am looking for a tanky build who can do that well this league without having to manage 17 buttons.

" Well, he is primarily doing hardcore guides. It's just another defence layer, especially with the +6% all res. I'm sure if you're playing softcore Heart Of Destruction is a viable option as well... |

I'm thinking on starting this build but I'm confused. The links to the passive tree still show the old elementalist ascendancy?

" Interested to know as well! I was a bit underwhelmed by the 400k DPS in PoB. How much better does it get with reasonable gear? (not mirror-level) And how well does it scale with investment? Would more golems (with Anima stone/Primordial jewels) be the way to go? Would that synergize will with an explode-chest? Do you need to take the Shaper of Flames node to ignire, then? Thanks!

I really enjoyed playing a RF builds a long time ago and have been hoping to do RF again. I haven't played in a few leagues, but will be coming back for this one. Playing RF on a witch, with golems!? Count me in! I'm hyped.
" RF builds traditionally have lackluster single-target DPS at the high end of things. RF just doesn't scale with gear as much as most meta builds. However, it has the advantage of being able to attack, at all times, while moving and dodging stuff, with only a very minimal mental focus needed on 'stay in range to deal damage'. While DPS is lower, you tend to spend more time actually dealing damage, which makes up for it somewhat. The survivability advantage of being able to just focus on movement is huge. High life and high life regen make it a tanky build and because you don't benefit from a lot of offensive gear mods, you can focus more defense, making an even tankier build. It's a mixed blessing, since there is a much more modest damage ceiling with gear investment than most meta builds. If you're wanting to acquire 100EX of gear and use it to faceroll all content, RF probably isn't a good choice. If you're wanting a relaxed style of a play that can blow through most content without much concern while you watch some netflix on the side or something... RF is that. I usually build at least 2 characters in every league I play. One is always a relaxed cyclone/RF/autobomber type build. The other is whatever I feel like I'm missing with that relaxed build. |

" Don't traditional RF builds use scorching ray? Wouldn't it be a DPS improvement on this build to use SR instead of Cyclone, with hextouch + flammability on it? |

" If you're talking about SR while leveling, I've found DPS isn't a concern during that phase using PF. For full-build it could certainly work (previous RF builds from Wrecker had Incinerate). For boss fights it will help DPS. However I've found with incinerate/SR you lose the mobility (even without cyclone) that aids in the survivability of the build and general clear speed - especially against mobs & maps where you probably don't want to stand still for very long, even if stuff is being killed as it comes into the RF AoE. That's what I've enjoyed with these builds - they have flexibility to support personal preferences and tweaks without sacrificing overall effectiveness. |

I'll league start this on SSF SC :-)
Thanks for the guide update. Hope Elementalist is huge. | |
One thing I don't understand. The tree/ascendancy enables 4 golems. And the buffs are boosted per summoned golem. But still the links have 3 golems and a random support (infernal legion). Why? Wouldn't a 4th golem be far superior by boosting all buffs?
