I think it comes down to whether you want to be doing cow runs or bloody hill runs. So make that 2 of us that look forward to hearing what you guys think

I'm not adding much with this post, sorry but I was just thinking the same exact thing-and thinking of posting the same topic. Look forward to hearing what you guys think. I just felt that fire was being forgotten and couldn't understand why. Personally I'm not sure which is better, I imagine that the iron golem is a fun build, especially if you like developing your minions (mercenary). You also don't have to sink 20 points into golem mastery since it doesn't matter if he dies, you can just resummon him. You can hire revives no problem now, the fire golems aura attracts most of the monsters to him, the revives act as a meat shields without slowing your killing rate considerably. Employ a thorns merc and now he's doing similar thorns damage to the iron golem. They certainly are attractive, built in thorns, possiblity of 4x element immunity, stays with you when you leave a game, thorns damage multiplies thorns from items (maybe).īut do they really allow you to kill faster, or safer, than the good old fire golem? The fire golem has one large advantage, his aura attracts most monsters too him. It seems that everyone has fallen in love with the Iron golem recently.
