Sunder Totems Gemling - 0.5

Howdy, folks!

I figured with the start of 0.5.5 around the corner, I would put together a video of what turned out to be my favorite PoE 2 build to date. I made a Sunder Totem Gemling using Threaded Light and Crown of Eyes on top of Ancestral Bond for 0.5 and loved every second of it.

Ancestral Bond removes the charge requirement for summoning totems but adds a flat reservation of 75 spirit. Since I already needed a decent amount of spirit, I figured I could stack as much spirit as I could fit and gain the benefit of Threaded Light by using Crown of Eyes.

Required Gear

• Threaded Light: Gives 12% increased spell damage per 10 spirit. I corrupted mine to increase that to 14% spell damage per 10 spirit.
• Crown of Eyes: Converts all spell damage to attack damage, boosting the attack damage of the totems significantly.
• Enfolding Dawn: Not necessarily required, but the most spirit you can get on a chest, especially if corrupted. Mine sits at +108 to spirit.
• Split Personality: Starting at the Templar area allows us to get more totem related nodes, along with a quick path to Ancestral Bond.
• +X to melee skills: Weapon, gloves, and amulet.

The rest of the gear is resistances, life, and added flat phys where possible.

Playstyle

Drop totems, keep running when in maps. On bosses, utilize Earthshatter and Seismic Cry to break armor and stun. Typical totem playstyle, essentially.

Ascendancy

Essence of Virtue -> Advanced Thaumaturgy was first for me.

Next, Implanted Gems for Strength gems.

Finally, Gem Studded. You can socket random gems in to get all bonuses since this build is light on gems.

I look forward to the event this weekend. Build Roulette gave me Explosive Spear Warbringer, and I'm ready for it.

Until next time!
