Hven't tried the Poison Golem, but I'm not entirely sure they're comparable. The Golem has a poison aura, no? And is a singular entity, with steeper path requirements. Manifest Vitriol is only 2W+1F, and only requires 2 gems to cast.

I'd venture to say that really in most cases you can cast one or the other, you don't tend to get much choice between the two.

There is a spell list, but it's not in the Dom3 DB. Look for the spell modding guide by DrPraetorious, that has the lists you need.

The p.golem has banefire aura (which makes him a quite decent SC imho) - and I don't really remember why the hell did I ask that question, seems unappropriate (not to say stupid) to me too. Did I really ask that?

P.S. ok, I got it. In my last big game the vetriol was added by the patch when I was at the end already. I just gave a fast look at it and it seemed to me the same cost of the poison golem (which I was using intensively) - my mistake ^_^

What good is a Banefire aura as compared to a simple Fire Shield? Does it do Decay effect? A 5 AP Banefire attack (reduced by weapon length) is pretty pitiful in my book, but maybe I'm overlooking something.

-Max

P.S. I'm not knocking REAL Banefire. 52+ AP damage is going to severely damage anybody (I laugh at your feeble 40 Prot!), but 5 AP is pathetic in spite of its ability to ignore fire resistance.

It's not negated by fire resistance. Obsoletes Army of Gold.

Well if it stacks with a normal Fire Shield, then I'd guess that makes him an obscenely efficient chaff killer at least.

Army of Gold should still work fine. 5 AP isn't going to get through 20 Prot very frequently.

Banefire Aura does give the Decay effect, on units striking the Poison Golem.

Sure, but the Decay is checked regardless if damage is dealt.

For those wondering, 5ap deals damage to 20prot about 5% of the time. Damage distribution is approximately equivalent to a spearman striking a heavy infantry. Not much, but what is against 20prot?
