aer0_reddit's Notes

Not the typical off-meta build for me, but I needed to play this Volcanic Fissure Strength Stacking Totem build for a few reasons. Number 1, its been several leagues since we've gotten new skills, so I was excited to try one. And two, I dropped a 2 to 3 fire damage per 10 strength sanctified relic on day 2 and needed to make use of it! If you have a strangth stacking relic and are looking for a way to build around it, this guide should get you on your way!

This build was fantastic for non-uber bosses and sanctum, as it just deletes any single enemy in seconds. In sanctum, you drop a totem or two and walk away. Lycia dies nearly instantly. It didnt feel great to map with, but I tried consecrated path as a gem swap, and that will do just fine. I suspect after playing the hydrosphere map blaster for a week, I was a little speed-spoiled and the totem playstyle felt sluggish. If you like the totem playstyle, this was a fun one. We got to 96 and killed all the non-uber bosses and invitations, so its time for me to go back to blasting maps! Video coming soon on a fairly cheap super map blaster. Thanks for watching!
