[3.12] PoE Heist Elementalist Summon Golem Witch Starter Build (PC,PS4,Xbox,Mobile)

The main theme of PoE 3.12 Witch Elementalist Summon Golem Build is scaling Carrion or Stone Golem physical damage. At the same time we achieve high damage resistances of all damage types. Because Golems are extremely tanky, we never need to resummon them. This gives us a very casual playstyle that does not requiring constant minion management.

Pros & Cons

 

Skill Tree

Ascendancy

Defensive: Leige of the Primordial > Elemancer > Paragon of Calamity > Pendulum of Destruction

Offensive: Leige of the Primordial > Elemancer > Shaper of Desolation > Beacon of Ruin

You will to use a spell that does physical damage, either via added phys to spells or a physical spell so gain the benefits of Beacon of Ruin. If you get Cold Conduction from Megalomanic, you have much higher shock up time too.

Pantheon: Soul of Arakaali and Soul of Shakari

Bandit: Kill all

Passive Tree & PoB

Level 95 (3 Cluster Jewels)

Level 95 Passive Tree (2 Clusters) - more life less damage

We go from 163% to 204% life from passive tree, but we lose some damage.

Gems Setup

6L Main Damage:

{Stone Golem : Carrion Golem} - Multistrike - Impale - Melee Physical - Brutality - Minion Damage

Carrion and Stone have the same gem setup. Just swap stone and carrion golem

4L Utility Golems:

Feeding Frenzy - Chaos Golem - {Lightning Golem : Stone Golem} - {Minion Life : Empower lv3}

You will need empower lv 3 to push your chaos golem to lv 22 if you don't have a +minion gems helmet

4L Curse on Hit:

Curse on Hit - {Storm Brand : Orb of Storms : Whatever} - Vulnerability - Punishment

Enduring Cry (if you take Call to Arms):

Enduring Cry

2L Auras 1:

Dread Banner - Generosity

2L Auras 2:

Flesh and Stone - Maim

Stay permanently in Blood Stance, linking with Maim causes them to take additional physical damage.

1L Auras 3:

{Pride : Determination}

Utility: 

Flesh Offering, Desecrate, Convocation, Molten Shell

1L or 2L Movement:

{Flame Dash : Whirling Blades - Fortify}

 

Gear Setup

Unique

Cold Iron Point, The Brass Dome, The Primordial Chain, Soul Catcher, Soul Ripper

Forbidden Taste is great, because the damage gets mitigated massively from divine flesh.

Soul Ripper is not required, but puts our molten shell uptime at a damn near 99%. You want one with at least 50 charges, and as close to 50 as possible.

The other uniques are required for the build to work.

Helmet 

+3 to Level of Socketed Minion Gems
+27 to Strength
18% increased Armour and Energy Shield
+54 to maximum Life
+25% to Chaos Resistance
8% increased Stun and Block Recovery
+20% to Cold and Lightning Resistances

The main thing is to have the flesh offering enchant as it provides a huge damage boost, much stronger than any other enchant. Even a 20% bone helm with 40% stone golem damage will provide less DPS.

Because we need Chaos golems to be lv 22 to go from 4% to 5% phys reduction, we need either a +2 minion helm OR link it with lv 3 empower (cheap gem, only need +2 levels).

Belt

Stygian Vise
Has 1 Abyssal Socket
-----------------------------
+448 to Armour
+91 to maximum Life
+50% to Fire Resistance
24% increased Flask Charges gained
+18% to Lightning and Chaos Resistances

With a stygian vise we get to use an abyss jewel. Look for a minion's blind on hit or hinder. We do not need taunt, as stone golem slams already have a built in taunt.

Rings,Boots,Gloves

Here's what we need:

• Life
• Chaos Resistance
• Elemental Resistance
• 71 dex collectively
• Minion dmg/spd
• Armour

Reduced mana cost of skills lets us do no regen maps a lot more comfortably, because convocation has 0 mana cost with -9 mana costs.

Alternatives to Brass Dome

Astral Plate
+12% to all Elemental Resistances
---------------------------------------
+97 to maximum Life
+12% to Chaos Resistance
15% of Physical Damage from Hits taken as Fire Damage
13% increased Life Recovery rate
You and your Minions take 100% reduced Reflected Physical Damage
+15% to Lightning and Chaos Resistances

There are a lot of good mods you can get on a rare body armour. I strongly recommend getting reflect immune, which makes rolling maps so much easier. You can also "gain back" some of the physical defence you lost via % taken as an element. 

Jewels

1 Anima Stone, 1 Primordial Might (just to make golems aggressive), 7 Primordial Harmony, 2 Primordial Eminence. Drop 1 eminence if you have minion attack speed on gear.

Cluster Jewels

We'll have 3 clusters. We need 2 rotten claws to get to 100% impale. We'll also want 1 feisting fiends to give our golems leech.

All of them should have 8 passives, and 2 jewel sockets (ilvl75+ jewels only)

Timeless Jewels

Glorious Vanity Timeless Jewel
Limited to: 1 Historic
Radius: Large
Bathed in the blood of 5521 sacrificed in the name of Xibaqua
Passives in radius are Conquered by the Vaal
Historic

The only thing you care about is that it's a Glorious Vanity with Xibaqua. That will give you divine flesh. If you want to min-max, here are some #'s and what they provide with corrupted notables. This jewel can provide cool things like chaos resist/life/movement speed/aura effectiness/minion damage/etc. Look for one that gives you at least a couple good corrupted notables.
