Golem finally get a good use in the new raid system, since some of Gargash's attacks requires a number attacks to dispatch, instead of damage.

You can use your own golem to help you break free of Sacred Imprison(You can target the crystal while trapped)

Can help break allies free.

And can add hits when trying to break free from Gargash's Fanaticism.

Those are some very neat tricks.

Can the golem also be a target of attacks such as Sacred Imprisonment and Fanatacism?

Nope, but they can be targeted by the Meteor Shower, which might pose as a problem on higher difficulties.

Unless they ping, they'd die in one shot on HM, right?

Since golems can't go into deadly.

I haven't tested on Medium/Hardmode yet, sadly Shield Of Trust doesn't protect golems.

Speaking of things he won't target...He also won't targets pets. Only way pets die is by getting caught up in his staff bash swipe. Crystal Meteor Shower is even so kind as to ignore pets all together O.o

They can go into deadly. And I'm sure they can be fairly survivable in Divine Raids. My EW Golem can take quite a few hits from Giant Gator and still survive, but I guess that's different.

Act 9 finally useful too?

I know for a fact marionettes can't deadly, since Dullahan's axe kills them at full health.

I doubt they can auto target the crystals.

Yeah... IIRC they only target one thing and stay on it until the buff goes away. Even though I'm a Master Act 9, I never use it anymore.

Puppets are awful in the raids anyway, your better off using a singular-target talent.
