Blood Golem

Blood golem got a pretty signifigant bonus in 1.13

-Blood Golem - Removed negative shared life effect (player no longer loses life when golem takes damage).

Maybe makes the blood golem more viable as a damage mitigation system for teleport necros?

AFAIK there is no damage mitigation at all involved with the BG. The only benefit was that the necro had a 30% life leech on the BG's hits.

Otherwise that would become pretty imba indeed in pvp.

Do you think it works with Iron Maiden again?

No. The damage and attack speed of the BG is still laughable.

If it does and you couple that with the increased damage from CE the Necro will be even cheesier than the Hammerdin.

Nothing can be cheesier than hammerdin :jig:

This indeed does revive the utility of the Blood Golems. I was toying around with one on the PTR. To get any usefulness out of it it seems that the Fire Golem Synergy would need to be pumped.

Now it seems like a great "secondary" golum. When you lose a little health but are not in any danger of dying, you can cast a blood golum next to a leechable monster instead of drinking a purple. Then when your globe is full recast your fire or clay golum (because the other aspects of blood golum remain useless).

But it was fun to kill yourself with blood golems!

Re: Blood Golem

Blood golems never killed you. hey got you down to 1 hp minimum.

Also, they were useful even before the patch. they öeech 30% to the nec, but 70% to themselves, meaning they're great tanks. And the overheal on the golem will go to the necromancer. So one way or another the golem will always heal 100% of it's damage (or actually more, depending on level), divided among the nec and golem. It should be great for skelemancers, who have so many auras and such.
