I’ve been tinkering around on the wiki as I’m wont to do when I have nothing to do at work and ran across a couple unique amulets. Aul’s Uprising with Wrath (extremely expensive) would allow us to not use an Essence Ring or add an additional aura without reservation.

The Primordial Chain would offer a large dps boost at the cost of all defensive stats (75% increased damage, 6-7% increased attack/cast speed, and the option of adding an ice golem for 67% increased crit. I wouldn’t recommend this late game, but for early mapping it’s relatively cheap for the damage. It may become worth it if adding The Anima Stone and Primordial Eminence. The amulet and 2 jewel combination would grant 7 total golems and an additional 30 % Golem aura buff on top of what Liege of the Primordial grants. I suppose I cannot gaurantee multiple golems of the same type count. Also, looks as if Primordial Eminence can stack (source of 30% Golem aura buff). With enough it might even be worth it to add in earth and chaos golems for the buff (would die much faster due to no elemental immunity).

I’ll need to wit till I can access PoB to test this further. Any thoughts?

Aul's Uprising was actually part of the guide until Betrayal (in other words, during Delve league), but I'm guessing Enki took it out due to how prohibitive the price tag on it is. The same reasoning went behind The Anima Stone (I specifically recall someone asking about it during Incursion league), but the price for that jewel dropped drastically since then.

The problem with The Primordial Chain and adding new golem types is that we don't have enough skillbar slots to have all those golems out, and them having a lot less life means we will need to recast them from time to time, especially those not immune to elemental damage. I think it's too much micromanagement for not enough gain, but just adding Anima Stone and a third golem type is definitely a viable alternative IMO, especially with the 21-30% increased effect of non-damaging ailments crafted mod on jewellry reducing the need for abyss jewels to cap shock effectiveness.

An often overlooked advantage of having a high level (+size) Stone Golem or Chaos Golem is they get big enough to actually provide a somewhat reliable mobile cover against some projectile and AoE attacks, as they tend to move between you and your targets. With the addition of the minion nodes from the passive tree to the build, maybe even with the occasional recast, keeping one of those tanky golems alive in some high level boss fights is doable.

Once I've achieved my goals for the league, I'll probably play around with using three lvl21 golems and a lvl4 Empower in a +2 Minion Gems helm and see how well they can be kept alive in difficult encounters.

Heh, I just realized that PoB ignores all dps gains from Liege of the Primordial. As far as micromanaging golems, they don't need to be active on the skillbar, and only Stone and Chaos are in any serious risk of dying for most encounters (especially if you get a source of regen/leech for minions/golems). Although they do lose some hp, they would receive 1000 armour. But even without more types of golems, the Ascendency reads "per golem," and you can have multiple golems of the same type. Still, chaos would grant 15% reduced physical damage taken at L22, and I think that's worth a bit of hassle.

The guide says to get Arc, then kill Merveil, but you can't get Arc until after killing Merveil.
