Another alternative is a +3 all fire gems staff. I only briefly looked into it, but if you had a good staff combo'd with a +1 chest with Empower 4, it looked pretty good.

Blight is killing me though. It's a tough one for Golems.

I can't speak for Blight since I'm playing in STD but I wouldn't just blame it on content alone. In 3.9 we have revamped ascendancies granting us a truly obscene increase of Golem Buff effect which can make us tanky as f*ck. As a consequence Primordial Chain has now become a "build-enabling" piece of gear. Prior to 3.9 I wouldn't have touched that amulet with a 12-ft barge pole because it takes such heavy toll on our pets' health pool (for example, my Stone Golem has now 30k life, down from 80k!). In short, our pets are no longer "immortal" and the amulet really is the crux of the matter.

The golems can only die from physical and chaos damage (Bleed can hurt 'em too but I have never lost a golem to Bleed). Again, I don't know about Blight content but now I have seen golems die in high-tier Uul-Netol and Chayula Breaches and in the Azurite Mine as well and Ulaman, the Abyssal Lich dealing phys and chaos damage, is absolutely no fun either (this fella has always been a problem).

Bottom line, our golems need more, much more life and possibly damage mitigation. Life can be helped by increasing the gem level and quality and certain notables which can also grant physical/chaos damage mitigation. Taking these notables, however, means a lot of travel and passive points at the expense of our own defenses and/or precious jewel sockets. In Blight you can anoint your amulet with such a notable which does help somewhat although my preference in this respect would still be Soul of Steel (which seems to be the most expensive anointment for a reason ;). But the cheapest and and yet very efficient form of damage mitigation comes from one of the most underrated skill gems in the game: the Decoy Totem. Not only is it drawing aggro but everything is dealing 8% less damage, now, cast Enfeble on top of that and it makes deep-delving a breeze.

So, finally got my lvl up (99) and my boots enchant at long last. At 9.2k life and 3k per sec regen now.

First thing I did: faceroll Minotaur... yep, it works, I can indeed go AFK for the fight. ;)

I just did a T14 Blighted Map after upgrading my gear, and failed within 2 minutes. An Ape boss spawned, got close to my golems after getting a movement speed buff from an aura mob and instantly killed all 10 of my golems in like two slams (he slams a bunch of times really fast). Oh and they could hardly do damage to him, and once they died he healed to full hp.

I didn't have to re-summon my golems in over 100 T14-T16 maps + shaper (with Abyss bosses, Breach bosses, Maraketh Legions etc.), ever. And they don't stand a chance against Blight bosses.

It's back to the drawing board to see if there's something I'm missing. Otherwise I just need to save some currency to buy some ignite or crit DI gear.
