Summon Necro players sometimes use Iron Golem for Insight (cheap to replace) and then have the merc carry Infinity, sort of best of both worlds. But as I mentioned above, it's useless without maxed Golem Mastery, even then it can die on rare occasions (although not nearly as often). For reference I have level 42 mastery on Necro character. Don't put anything expensive in it, I'm just trying to save your runes.Rik wrote: 9 months ago Thanks for the update. I’d really like to make Iron Golem work but I’m discouraged if he’s dying that quick to physical damage. I think Exile or Obsession would probably provide the best balance of durable/helpful items to use but both would only provide defensive perks to the barb which are nice but not nearly as spicy as a Faith, Pride or my Christmas wish, a Brand golem. Reapers and Lawbringer are potentially good cheap alternatives but I heard the Iron Golem attacks painfully slow, meaning the decrep proc is unlikely to provide much. But the Sanctuary Aura would have at least kept him alive against lord de sais
If you get a future Beast and do more testing, you might try a Holy Freeze merc, granted you’re sacrificing 200 ed but the bonus from the Iron Golem could offset that. Another thing, this may be outdated info, but I watched a vid in which a creature remained summoned while the item providing it was in the weapon swap. This could open up your ammy to use highlords if you put Oath on the swap. Highlords is a huge boost to damage and is the only way to max deadly strike.
I’ll do my own testing but, I’ll need some more practice, confidence in the survivability or Wealth before I make him out of any runewords using anything higher than Lem..
This was a fun post, plz keep us posted, specifically on Iron Golem testing

Thanks for the tip, I probably would have blown them anyway bc fools learn by no other but I just realized you can’t use bows and I’ve lost all enthusiasm
OP
Yea one of my builds - the renegade Arbalist - self wields a Faith Crossbow, uses a might merc and has an Iron Golem made from Pride. The IG is a central pillar of the build and so IG, Golem Mastery and Blood Golem are maxed, and that set-up actually works pretty good
