Chaos golem or stone golem?

[Nicator]

i am having survivability issue as a witch in this game. i have around 11% physical resistance, with 2000 hp and ES. i am wondering which golem would help me in this case, for some surviability

Yep at your level you need more life nodes and need to start swapping gear out that doesnt have close to max roll on +life as well as getting over capped resists (over capped to counter map debuffs ect) i think 40 over is the magic number but doesnt need to be exactly 40, just get over capped.

If you have the means to do so, pick up Mind over Matter which is a solid 30% damage mitigation through mana use, just make sure you have a LARGE mana pool and excellent regens, youll need a few pieces of gear with +mana and mana nodes.

Other than that i dont think ive seen any build (RIP CI) that doesnt use the life node cluster by scion start point, and skill out of the way to hit every single life node possible.

As far as the Golem goes....the Stone golem, though boring, is probably the best choice, especially if you dont utilize decoy totem (use totems for casting debuff for example). if you do use decoy totem then i would pick the golem based on looks tbh....2% phys res is ok but wont help much, especially at 75, but then the chaos golem looks cool so for me its typically stone golem > chaos > lighting >>>>anything else which gives DPS boost and dies all the time and hardly helps. Also stone golems regen is great if you have a good movement skill set up and can GTFO of packs and regen for a few seconds...great on boss fights imo even with decoy totem. Easy to level both chaos and stone and use them as needed and see which one you like most.

Make sure to include a blasphemy-->enfeeble set up (if you have the mana pool for it) to aid in survivability via debuffing enemies that get close to you.

On my armor i just get close max on armor+ES, HP is just extra delicious bacon to me. I haven't really invested into elemental resist, I've been focusing more on regen/recharge seeing as how most stats outside of ES/HP/MP are pretty much banana stats. Evasion is also a banana stat unless you're dedicated to it, like the assasin is.

You don't need to be assassin to use evasion properly Ô_o

Nope, evasion is a trash tier stat.

uh what? Evasion is probably the strongest between the 2 (Armour vs Evasion)
Especially when combined with blind.

And if you're going with MoM, 100% go with evasion + dodge.

Nope, evasion is trash tier. No doubts about it.

Scrolling up and looking at all 3 of his posts, I honestly doubt hes made it very far in PoE.
