You know, I wouldn't call him an 'impressive attacker', not even when fully synergized, which I didn't do. My skill points went into the curses and poison and bone tree, too.
Fire Golem, slvl 30, fully synergized, Golem Mastery slvl30:
<blockquote>Life (hell): 8104</blockquote>
<blockquote>Attack: 1270</blockquote>
<blockquote>Defense: 1250</blockquote>
<blockquote>Absorbs 93% fire damage</blockquote>
<blockquote>Damage (hell): 18-47</blockquote>
<blockquote>Fire Damage: 725-783</blockquote>
<blockquote>Holy Fire: 68-70</blockquote>
Sure the life is high, but the damage is rather pathetic, and he doesn't hit very fast. Even with a (hypothetic) slvl 30 lower resist (-65% enemy resistence), he only deals 1196-1291 Fire Damage. And this isn't even considering that many monsters are fire immune in hell, and many resistant. I would go as far as to say that the pure fire-golomancer is a quite hard variant in hell.
That's why I'm helping him out with a partly synergized bonespirit (doing about 900 dam. at the moment), and the very important act 2 hireling. Still, especially poison keeps me recasting him more often than I'd like to.

That is why you use the other golems situationally. Iron and Blood golems as the situation demands. I am not saying it is teh besto sort of build, no denying that it is entirely variant. But I have taken a golemancer through hell with a minor in curses.
Fire golly is nice when the blood lords and what not start raining down fiery death and destruction, or when facing Andy. Or when facing stacks of spectres, because his fire punches damage all of the spectres in a stack.
Like I said, slow steady damage.
All alone, or in twos,
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down outside the wall.
Some hand in hand
And some gathered together in bands.
The bleeding hearts and artists
Make their stand.
And when they've given you their all
Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy
Banging your heart against some mad buggers wall.
"Isn't this where...."
