I would rather scale damage down and defence up on a Hierophant than play this garbage Chieftain class on any totem build. It only has a single (very powerful) node on it´s Tree and Ramako is the biggest bait for a totem build, the opposite of what you wanna do. Totem builds have the benefit of dealing damage while you move (or spam when you have time like with immolation) and don´t wanna sit on enemies and stand still.

But i am not the best Hardcore Build creator, maybe you can change something up to make it better. Thats just my input after toying around with it for like 2 hours.

using curses vs ramako is already more damage without counting in the debuff duration.
