So I'm on my second build of the season, as I just cant quite keep up with the server rollbacks that keep on killing my Tri-Banner champion, due to strict timings needed to keep it alive. Ever since I found the soul eater tech, I decided I wanted to break it over my knee. As others have already posted, https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Wilma%27s_Requital double dips on the soul eater stacks to get you abolutely hilarious attack speed.

Music is Mcbaise - Alice, and Mcbaise - She's a Big Boy. Love the artist's works, here's the source for Alice - https://youtu.be/r9iYyqr6ibs?si=jSp8y015jJ3WUDfH

Something to note, this is my first time doing a totems playstyle after having a basic understanding of POE, I'm sure others can play this way better than I do. If I'm talking QOL, I do wish GGG changed some things about totems, namely tying their activation time to their attack/ cast speed, and increasement in placement range increasing active/ targetting range.

Also, I know that it was non-optimal on how I cleared that map to farm stacked decks, I just wanted to show that the totems absolutely can and will clear large portions of the map without your input; its slower if you stop to pick up every stacked deck off the ground (which I do, and die frequently because the ritual balls of doom are bullshit).

Also, I think the Quadrilla Leap slam is p2w mandatory for maximum hilarity with this build. I also take no responsibility for detonate dead or ground effects killing you (like it's killed me hundreds of times).

OK BUT JUST GIVE ME THE POB:

Starter: https://pobb.in/eUso4lDbw_FH

Forbidden Flame/ Flesh Unwavering Crusade is a huge dps boost, but not necessary, I was zooming through t16/ 16.5 maps without it.

I'm using some forbidden techs with Rakiatas, but this is also ok with a solid 2h. You really only need a 5L in the chest, everything else is light on sockets and links. Without the Unwavering crusade, you are still at ~4m dps. Also, feel free to swap cull to close combat, will explain more below.

I (wish I) have a mageblood: https://pobb.in/Ew91h710vzre

As you can tell, above is just a tweak to my char to move to accuracy and crit. I'm not 100% sorted on this, I've never owned a mageblood in my life.

GGG is probably going to fix this:

So I found a (bugged?) interaction. Close combat has the following 3 lines:

Supported Skills grant Combat Rush on Hit

Combat Rush lasts 2 seconds or until you use a Travel Skill

Combat Rush grants 20% more Attack Speed to Travel Skills not Supported by Close Combat

Did you know that leap slam of groundbreaking is a travel skill? Did you know that the attack speed bonus works with this? Did you know that leap slam totems using travel skills doesnt remove close comat so you basically get a 20% more attack speed whenever you like?

I'm serious about above, I did a video capture and frame counted this and it 100% pans out that leap slam totems will attack faster while you have combat rush, without consuming it. Tickle an enemy with a 0 damage smite and watch your totems get stronk.

#League specific tech, that actually probably increases the above dps by a significant amount:

Runegraft of Treachery gives you reservation efficiency, but makes your auras apply to enemies too. POB and other sites don't calculate this right, I ended up setting resist 90 on the mageblood version but I think the other versions actually have much higher dps than listed if you are in range. Rakiatas treats monster resistances as inverted. Put 2 and 2 together, and the auras/ mods that give monsters resistances are not only juicing the maps, but making them easier for you. Purity of elements is on this build, gives immunities to elemental ailments, and makes it even easier to clean up bosses. This is good for all builds in league that would use elemental damage.
