Questions on IGolem, Steel, and Malice.

Heiho,

15% Chance To Cast Level 5 Life Tap On Striking (awesome if it works)

I myself hate it, when my curses are randomly overwritten by some sick cross skill stuff

Level 13-16 Defiance Aura When Equipped (varies) (awesome if it works)

AFAIK this works, but I think it is contraproductive for the IG; depends on your build

+2 To Offensive Auras (Paladin Only) (I don't suppose an IG is a Paly to benefit in its Thorns aura, eh?)

He won't profit, IG Thorns are not similar to an aura

+30% Faster Block Rate (IGs probably can't block, even if made from a shield?)

Golems have a block chance listed in the mpqs, but according to some posts from Ruvanal they should also have an entry there somewhere to give the ability to block without shield plus a blocking animation, which both they haven't so it is useless here.

Freezes Target (if the IG is meleeing at level, this is a terribly studly mod)

The usefulness again depends on your build, Freeze causes dying monsters quite often to melt away, so there is no corpse left

+220-260% Enhanced Defense (varies) (this work?)

should work, see Defiance aura statement

Replenish Life +7 (can't hurt)

works nice

+5% To Maximum Cold Resist (not sure if these are relevant)
+5% To Maximum Fire Resist (ditto)

Minions don't have resistancy caps, so it's useless

25% Better Chance Of Getting Magic Items (what's not to like?)
Repairs 1 Durability in 4 Seconds (haha, if he breaks, will he get back up in a while?)

MF should work, but I never cared about it.
Golems have life, no durability, so forget also about self repair

After all, I think it'd be a pretty expensive golem without adequately usefulness.
