Introduction
Flame Golem of Meteor is buffed in 3.24, gaining 30~40% more damage, it becomes a rather solid skill after the buff, able to clear endgame content without too much issue, despite the clunkier playstyle, that's probably the reason why no other people using this skill on poe ninja.

Unlike the normal Flame Golem, Flame Golem of Meteor has a faster cooldown, when summoned, Flame Golem will fall from the sky (Meteor) to deal fire damage and creates Burning Ground on impact. The Meteor only occur once when summoning Flame Golem, Flame Golem will do the normal Flame Golem stuff after the falling attack (or spell?).

This build is scaling around the damage of the Meteor part (ignite from falling hit and burning ground), which requires constantly resummoning Flame Golem (to trigger to Meteor), so the playstyle does not feel like a minion build. It is more like a spell caster with cooldown, that's scaled with minion stats.

According to POEDB, the falling hit is an attack, but somehow Flame Golem cannot be supported by attack support (missing attack tag), so I am not too sure whether the hit is a spell or an attack, in the end I just scale it with general fire/minion damage. Anyway, it has been fun making this skill gem work, enjoy the build.

I have cleared all T17 with it, haven't tried ubers yet, but pretty confident can do at least some of the ubers.

Do you have a PoB of this build？

Added POB in the main thread.

Hello, nice build.
Why is Eye of Malice better than The Formless Inferno Helmet?
Is it because of the automation with the storm brand?
Thought about scaling fire overcapped res for more minion max hp.
Thanks!

5l with Level 30 Infernal Legion gives less damage compared to 6L Flame Golem alone in the end game, and Eye of Malice can further amplify 6l Flame Golem's dps. Infernal Legion deal flat damage over time and does not scale off minion max hp.

If you're just using flame golem for ignite, are liege of the primordial and elemancer primarily for defensive purposes? If so, do you think necromancer is a strong alternative because it gets more damage and comparable defense?

Combining liege of the primordial and elemancer with Replica Primodial Might gives a lot of offensive power, I think necromancer wont give as much.
