UPDATED FOR 3.18.

People asked for an update/3.18 viability below, so I thought I would provide one. So without any major changes, I have only made a modest update based on some things I wished I had done different. See here.

This build should be pretty good for killing the new Uber bosses. Totems do DPS all the time and the new fights look movement heavy from the videos. The major caveat - this build is very dependent on Brittle. If the new bosses have 5X more hp, this build will suffer because the Brittle level will plummet. I am tentatively marking this one as "a good build for bossing in 3.18" but we won't know til we have a better idea on ailments on new bosses. Otherwise:

3.18 PoB for End Game - Updated PoB - a very smart and attentive poster noted that Divergent PF likely screws up the boot enchant. Updated version here. https://pastebin.com/RCFRFvfK

or here if you would rather have more regen. https://pastebin.com/WRGGrcZJ

3.18 Putative or potential PoB for very early end-game/end of week 1 - https://pastebin.com/2vbpnwxP - this is sort of an idea of where I would hope to be around the end of week 1. I don't know much this would cost, maybe 2-5ex, but its enough gear to start killing most of the end game.

3.18 UPDATE - Approximate budget - 15-35ex. It is extremely likely Ashes goes up in price as they announced it would be less common and demand will be high. I increased the price based on a guess Ashes goes for around 5ex. It could go well beyond that up to 10 or more. Who knows?

If there is a lot of interest I will make something for level 80 or day 2 type builds. Keep in mind, I would not play this without divergent shockwave totem and astral projector, which means its more something to change into rather than start with.

3.17 older info starts here.

Introduction: Shockwave Totem is an underused skill that is extremely strong when paired with Astral Projector. This build converts it all to cold, gets a ton of crit through brittle, and is fairly tanky. Clear is above average, even bordering on good-to-excellent once you get used to trusting your totems will kill everything. It won't ever be HH + CF bow level, but its highly serviceable and 1/20th the cost. I do recommend Woke AoE for clear, but its cheap.

The Hidden Deathless - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMFAVvl3B0o - this would've been much faster but I was overcasting my totems a ton because I was assuming they would die to AoE much more than they actually did. I could shave 30s off this time if i just stood still.

​

Why this build works: It requires very little of you. I'm not an amazing player, but the build makes bossing easy. The totems have extremely good range due to Astral Projector and there are few buttons to press. You can spend a lot of time dodging or just running around aimlessly like me. I am fairly confident that if you are the kind of person who says "I want to kill all the end game bosses, but I just can't do it with Build X" then this build will simplify at least some of the fights for you.

​

What makes the build work (mechanics):

1. Brittle (galesight) + righteous providence + Inevitable Judgement + divergent shockwave totem. With extremely minimal investment you get 100% crit and a lot of pen which opens up a lot of gems slots. Galesight underrated currently. Ashes of the Stars makes Divergent Shockwave Totem convert almost all physical to cold and you can easily get the rest with the Eldrich implicits.
2. "Armour if you haven't killed recently" on a darkness enthroned + determination + Skin of the Loyal. This should net you over 30K armour alone. You never kill anything (your totems do), so its fairly simple to hit 170%+ increased armour off those things alone.
3. Malding of the Flesh - Needs a nerf. ridiculously strong and purity of elements overcomes most of the downside. Purity of Elements is S-tier, particularly when combined with Watcher's Eye.
4. Inquisitor regen + Glorious Vanity + RF. Inquisitor + glorious vanity is SO good. The "Hearty" notable wheel is also amazing for inquisitor as is Vitality + arrogance. Skin + Vanity has nice synergy too.
5. Low-key aura stacking + alt quality gems. Ashes of the Stars is simply incredible. Mana reservation is absurdly strong right now. Its pretty simple to reserve a ton of auras.
6. Inquisitor > Hierophant. Now that Inquisitor can get Ritual of Awakening, it's not close either. In fact, I would say the only totem build I wouldn't use inquisitor > anything else is Siege Ballista, and that's iffy as I think you can get enough totem placement speed elsewhere now.
