BioWare may have deliberately tossed the Juggernaut Golem in there to trip people up.....if you fall into the "I had to spend a bunch of money to upgrade this thing, so it must be better" trap, you lose one of the best summons in the game.

I tested the Juggernaut Golem against the Monks in Amkethran, and man, it sucked big-time. Actually, I should say that they sucked, as I was experimenting to see how many friendly Iron Golems I could pack onto 1 screenshot at the same time, so I had about 8 Juggernaut Golems running around. Also, due to the stupid "stoneskin" effect the Juggernauts have (when the holder of the Golem Manual gets hit 5 times, the Juggernaut dies), most of them didn't even make it into melee range before they dropped dead, without having taken any hits at all.
