[edit] Usage
This is a skill used by Necromancers. At maxed levels, Golems not only costs less, but can have as much life as the Necromancer. Every point in Golem Mastery and this skill will strengthen the Golem.
Before spending more than one point into Clay Golem consider that you will probably want upgrade to Blood Golem (at 18), Iron Golem (24), or Fire Golem (30), all of which replace the Clay Golem. However, as a tank for the higher levels, the Clay Golem is superior in most situations, since with a high amount of skill points spent (or granted from items) the Clay Golem has the most health out of all the golem varieties.
The Golem's attack also slows down enemies for a certain percent, and the Clay Golem heals automatically, like a Hireling. The slow works on all opponents, including act bosses.
[edit] History
While it is fairly simple for a Necromancer to animate dead tissue, it is another matter entirely to instill the spark of life into inanimate objects. The Clay Golem is the simplest form of this complex art, creating a servant directly from the earth to serve the Necromancer. The intense drain this places on the psyche of the caster only allows him to maintain a single Golem of any type at a time.
