Flesh golems and the like..

[Firecloud]

hey all, so I was running around the Orchard with my lvl 13 Sorceror and ran into multiple flesh golems who chased me half accross the map! i was extremely unlucky taking them on solo and was unable to penetrate their spell resistance!!

How the heck does a caster handle the stupid critters solo?? please explain. thanks

It's called Disentegrate - level 6 spell Flesh golems can also be firewalled if you empower/Maximize but they just take longer to take down and you will waste more mana then just disentegrating them.

Web also helps some in keeping them in place, sometimes.

does disintegrate get through their spell resistance? my Sorc has +19 to penetrate and I wasnt able to get through even once..

Yep, disintegrate.

And you don't have to worry about SR when using direct damage spells.

Webs and disintegrate work well.

so is it worth dropping either Mass suggestion or Flesh to Stone just to pick up Disintegrate??? that is the million dollar question..

Yep, disintegrate.

so is there any other type of direct damage spell that works on these guys?? how bout lightning or acid?

Nah, stick w/ disintegrate. Pick up either flesh or mass suggest later on. Grab disintegrate now for stuff like this, where no other damage types work well.

Fire based spells work on flesh golems, but they have 75% resistance to it (or 80%, I forget). They are immune to all other energy types (acid, sonic, cold, healed by electricity).

I have often thought about dropping disintegrate for other lvl 6 spells since we sorcs get so few, but I just wind up using it far to often. It is the best damage spell when dealing with constructs, so comes in handy to often enough to keep in my spell selection IMO.

Golems have unbeatable spell resistance. Disintegrate doesn't allow spell resistance, so it works fine.
