Reason

See also: Feedback:User/Falconeye/Well Spells

Minion Bombing and other Elites have proven to be more effective.

• You are the Commander of your army.

• Your Golem is your tanking Lieutenant who leads the attack and aids your minions in fullfilling thier master's desire.

• Suffers from lack of bar-compression that other elite animate skills enjoy.

• Consume Soul and other anti-summon skills make Animate Flesh Golem a joke skill.

• Like Pets, the Flesh Golem is in need of bonus utilities. Plus its a matter of Campaign themes.

• Prophecies → Aura of the Lich /+/ Animate Bone Horror /=/ Instant Army; Inexpensive; fast recharging; and Bone Horror as the toughest minions.

Aura of the Lich's massive AoE summoning combined with buffs to death magic allows for unparalled bar-compression.

• Factions → My Flesh Golem /+/ Animate Vampiric Horror /=/ Defensive Wall; Self-Healing; and Life-Stealing Vampiric Horror.

With self-exploding Afflicted abound, my Flesh Golem would make partying with 2+ minion masters within a party would ease the use of Blood of the Master.

• Nightfall → Jagged Bones /+/ Animate Shambling Horror /=/ Renewal-Bombing; Corpesless Animation; and Self-Replenishing Jagged Horror minions.

Jagged Bones is squarely focused on bombing-synergy, while Order of Undeath builds focus on maximizing overall damage output.

You can have only one flesh golem at a time. Why this version? After an alphabet-worth of proposals from everyone, ive realized that the simplistict, most innovative and most fun solution was this: the silly golem is made of FLESH!!! Unlike other minions, a Flesh Golem is considered fleshy: it is affected by all conditions and leaves an exploitable corpse. Its effectively a mobilized unexploited corpse; one that can allows Necromancer to (1) cast well spells fixed on the Golem's location, (2) create up 6 bone minions (at rank 12) from the lone corse FG provides, and (3) makes using skills like Putrid Explosion and Necrotic Traversal more tactically viable! In this manner Flesh Golem becomes to Necromancers in similar manner that SoS is to Ritualists.
