Note: This calculator hasn't been updated since 3.3/3.4-ish? Should still be fine for checking overall ratios though.
2
What is this?
3
A calculator to help you figure out how many golem types you may want to use depending on # of Harmony jewels, Ascendancy, and equipment.

How do I use this?
6
This document is read-only. You'll need to click File > Download As Excel, or send a copy to your own Gmail account to edit it yourself.
7
Once you've done that:
8
1
Go to either the Elementalist (blue) or Necromancer (green) section at the bottom.
9
2
Edit the number of Primordial Jewels to match the number/percent of what you have/want.
10
3
Use the dropdown menus to select what Ascendancy/Passive nodes you have/want.
11
4
Input whatever other sources of "Increased Damage" you have in the appropriate cell (column M).
12
5
See what values you get in red table.
13
14
What does it mean when you have a Configuration of X.Y.Z?
15
It means you have X golems of your main type (on your 5L or 6L chest or Elder/Shaper Helm), as well as 1 golem of type Y
16
and 1 golem of type Z on weaker links.
17
ex. 5 Flame Golems, 1 Lightning Golem, and 1 Ice Golem would be 5.1.1.
18
19
What does the Overall Damage factor indicate? Why not just a simple DPS number?
20
It indicates how much damage you can expect from your main golems combined as a factor of your base 5 or 6-link.
21
ex. Overall Damage factor of 25x means your main golems as a group should combine to do ~25x your base link.
22
This is different from Path of Building in that POB only shows DPS for 1 ability of 1 golem at a time, while this is more of an overall view.
23
Moreover, it makes it easier to compare different configs, whereas simple DPS readouts are not always apples-to-apples comparisons.
24
A flat DPS number doesn't account for cooldowns, link variations, situational golem skill mechanics, etc.
25
26
Does the damage factor include damage contributed by sub-golems?
27
No. Trying to include sub-golems in the calculation would complicate both the process and the conclusions we could draw,
28
especially considering the wildly varying Support Gems people use for them. Consider sub-golems as a tiebreaker using your best judgement.

If you have any, add your other sources of applicable "Increased Damage" also. For example, if you're a Necro,
