I was just wondering if I only had a flesh golem and used life bond on him with dark bond on me, would that like super redunce damage?

No reason it shouldn't, why don't you try it out in a scrimmage or in Isle of the Nameless?

From wiki:

Stacks nicely with Life Bond and Life Barrier as well. As Dark Bond is recast often, the damage reduction is generally applied after that of Life Bond/Life Barrier's.

So yea..

It werks gud!! I always put dark bond on my MM bar. Sure saves the monk alot of time. You can ad the [signet of lost souls] to pretty much eliminate the need for monk healing. Haven't tried it with life bond but that looks interesting

Although it works well, you should consider for a moment how soul reaping works and how your golem works...

1. You gain energy through frequent minion death, in addition to other foe and ally deaths.
2. Your golem leaves an exploitable corpse. Therefore, you can get him back up easily.

Consequently, you might consider methods of boosting your minion damage more than their survivability. As an example, I run [order of undeath] and [dwayna's sorrow] on my mm hero, and all of his minions hit as hard as your typical fleshy. But b/c they die more often, he gains a lot of energy. (He also carries [dark bond] for his own survivability).
