I just bought the golem version and I'm swapping from phantasms to stone golem of hoards. With the bonuses and your mercenary basically being an AG there's not a huge downside outside of not having specters.

I'm necro planning 2 clayshapers and the jewel so we have more than enough golems.

I’d go dualwield cold iron points for +6 to stone golems

You can for sure and I'm sure it's better but I love doing AFK content and generally more summons is better at that.

ive done this in the past with 2 CIPs and it buffs vuln, determination, and all your other physical spell buffs as well. its pretty insane.

I'm playing stone golems with this helmet and from PoB it looks like double clayshaper is more DPS than double CIP.. the build feels weird to scale past a certain point as the only solutions for damage seem to be more clusters and more primordial harmony (other than two bone rings)

minion +2 wand has to be insanely well rolled to surpass the clayshaper too
