Okay, okay I know everyone is dropping their take on FR totems and everyone is saturated, BUT I haven't seen anyone post my take (although similar builds are on Ninja though less popular than the full damage squish build)

TLDR:

I like Glancing Blows FR Totems better than the other builds. It melts content and without needing the Coward Legacy LL combo - videos of gameplay and POB included if interested.

Disclaimers and Notes:

  • Disclaimer #1 - I don't have an incredible amount of time to play, so I'm only lvl 92 right now and cant fit my second cluster, The POB I'm linking has the second medium in it to show what could be though, and tbh I would probably go the taunt notable proj medium because my problem isn't damage or keeping my totems alive its keeping big bad bosses off me in VERY high level content.
  • Disclaimer #2 - I'm really bad at saving exalts, and so no LL Coward's Legacy for me. I don't feel like I need it yet and I value the defenses I'm getting from the extra points and belt slot. In addition I just cant bring myself to spend that much for what my POB is telling is a 13M to 16M DPS increase and losing my immunities. That is to say if I drop a vial of consequence am I going LL Coward's? Yes. Yes I am because big POB numbers make me happy.
  • Disclaimer #3 - My gear is good, but not stellar, my jewels are pretty middling, but I was running this on much worse gear for a long time and melting conquerors and Sirus. So far the only thing that has given me trouble is The Hidden (and before you ask I'm no where near The Feared)
  • Disclaimer #4 - I don't have a good watcher's eye yet, but that would be better than one of my meh jewels
  • Disclaimer #5 - Don't play this in HC I still die plenty from a mix of incompetence (please watch me flame dash directly into Sirus beams in the clip A+ content) plus big one shots

Major Defenses:

  • Obligatory MoM Heiro shenanigans + Endurance charges
  • Glancing Blows + Arcane Swiftness anoint
  • Shield w/ % or flat Life gained on block
  • Shield Charge + Fortify
  • Immortal call CWDT
  • 1% Chaos Res - Is this the most ever? No, but its not negative and this is softcore so *shrug*
  • Cyclopean Coil - Immune to ignite/ Immune to shock - yes we could get more from a rare, but again I haven't felt enough like I need more damage to justify losing the ailment immunity, oh and its cheap as fuck.

Offence:

  • No large cluster No Low Life
  • Two medium clusters kind of pick your preference of two of the below (Noting that one with ancestral preservation feels necessary IMO):
  • Totem Dmg Medium - Ancestral Preservation + Sleepless Sentries (Totem Life/Chaos Res + Onslaught [probably the default 1st choice for mediums])
  • Totem Dmg Medium - Ancestral Preservation + Ancestral Echo (Totem Life/Chaos Res + Cast Speed)
  • Projectile Damage Medium - Shrieking Bolts + Repeater (Taunt + FLat Proj Damage)
  • Projectile Damage Medium - Shrieking Bolts + Streamlined (Taunt + Proj Speed)
  • 100% crit chance with flasks on + 550% Crit Multi

Video Clips:

Please excuse how bad I am at the game, pretty sure more talented players would have an even easier time than me executing the bosses below.
