I've been seeing all the complaints about Melee builds requiring the usage of Ancestral totems to maintain decent DPS, and thought to myself, why not make a build that's focused on the totems themselves?

Summary of the build:

Offense:

• 5mil DPS

• 3 Active Ancestral Protector totems

• Ancestral Warchief used as a single target DPS buff thanks to Totem mastery - Ancestral buffs linger for 3 seconds (The totem itself doesn't stay active on the field, we summon it for the buff linger, then resummon Protector)

• Perseverence belt scaling (375% increased attack damage)

• Permanent Onslaught with 80% increased effect (Perseverence and Champion's Fortitude)

• Impale supported by Champion's Master of Metal

• Pride aura

• 4 Frenzy Charges (Blood rage for mapping and Frenzy gem for single target generation)

• Splash damage and Strike skills target 1 additional enemy (Tribal fury + attack mastery)

Defense:

• 123k EHP with molten shell (57k without)

• 4.2k life

• 93% evade chance

• 90% phys dmg reduction

• 100% Elemental ailment immunity

• 100% Spell suppression

• 200 life regen (with blood rage active)

• 75% to all resistances (Inc. chaos)

• 3 End. charges (Enduring cry with Call to Arms)

Quality of Life:

• 116% movespeed

• Corpse destruction (Axe mastery)

• No mana issues (Protector cost 8 mana, Vulnerability 12, rest of skills 0 mana)

• Phasing (Quartz flask)

• Automated Molten shell, Enduring cry and Blood rage

Haven't tested in game, you can watch the playstyle in this video (Worse dps and EHP):
