Feeding Frenzy Path Of Exile

Sep 17, 2019  Today in Path of Exile Blight League I switched from frost sentinels to Kitava's heralds and using Raise spectre, Minion Dmg, Feeding Frenzy, GMP. Meat Shield + Feeding Frenzy = What Minion Behavior? If you socket both on one minion type, are your minions aggressive, defensive, or just confused? I'm asking because I've done it and they don't seem to be able to settle on one type of behavior.

I've just recently started a character for this build because I love the golems, and noticed they got buffed this patch. It looks like I picked good timing too since they just fixed the bug with Primordial Might! I've just now hit the point where i can wear clayshapers and now that I have 10 golems it's really taking off! I really hope to see an updated version of this guide in the future, because I love it!

Sorry it took so long! Mostly updated now.

thank you for the update! taking some time to try and make the changes on my character, and maybe I'm blind but is there a new PoB link? I'm only seeing the new poeplanner trees. was there also no good places to fit in either meatshield or feeding frenzy?

There is no PoB link. Since the Primordial Might gem makes all your golems aggressive (same as feeding frenzy), meatshield and feeding frenzy do not change the behaviour of the golems.

Right, I get that feeding frenzy would not change the ai behavior, but it does provide a substantial buff for all minions, even unsupported ones just by having the feeding frenzy buff active. Though now that I think of it, most of that buff is thanks to the attack speed and cast speed bonus, but thinking about the section that talks about golem cooldown speed maybe that doesn't help as much as I think.

Yeah, it wouldn't matter for flame golems. If you did a melee golem build it would have some benefit, but probably not worth losing a gem link imo.

I've thought about it more, and it may be worth putting Feeding frenzy in the body on the 3 lower dps golems. I am going to update the guide to show that possibility. I need to work on a new PoB. I lost the last one that I made back in 3.4 when I created this guide. Since I will probably play this build in 3.9, that would be helpful.
Thanks

Probably will also start with this build in 3.9. Any idea if you will/can update the guide before going live on 3.9?

The guide and the PoB are updated, but may tweak a bit more when gem information comes out. I will try to be a little better about it this season :D

could you possible test using victario's charity over the second clayshaper, would that be more dps than the additional clayshaper golem limit? frenzy charges on minions alone are huge, discounting power charges since it's not that great for bosses

but honestly, even with the Elementalist acendancy, we don't hit that hard.

I don't follow.
You have 380% >= increased damage just from damage / golems + fire golem

On essentially a 1 link because our active skill is a debuff/curse on hit setup. You can do good damage in a 6 link.

If minions are both Aggressive and Defensive, those effects cancel out, returning the minions to their original behaviour. All other bonuses from the support gems still apply.
