Freezing Pulse / Ice Spear Totem Hierophant | 3.16 Scourge End-game Build Showcase

Overview: No, hh is not mandatory kappa, using it for mapping standard FP spell totem setup using ice spear for single target Main mechanic: Soul mantle reduce curse effect 40% ring (crusader / shaper) 30% yugul pantheon 30% asylum noteable skill tree

cold clusters, blanketed snow totem cluster, sleepless sentries for onslaught, ancestral echo for the highest dps prefix projectile cluster, projectile speed and cast speed

hatred pen watcher's eye hatred crit watcher's eye gives more dmg for freezing pulse mapping but provides no bonus for the single target setup

BiS bossing links ice spear + hypo, awakened cold dmg, awakened cold pen, crit dmg, inspiration 4 off colour - BBGGGR

BiS mapping links freezing pulse + hypo, awakened cold dmg, awakened cold pen, crit dmg, crit strikes 3 off colour - BBBGGG Chose to use inspiration instead of increase crit dmg (~8% less dmg) because of body colours

QOL - projectile speed, when mapping you want as much proj speed as possible to give a layer of safety by clearing 1 screen ahead. FP clear speed scales with proj speed. For bossing set up you would just prefer to get cast speed / crit multi on weapons / helm enchants. I currently have around 120% increased projectile speed on my gear and it feels good to map with.

My current strategy is not bossing and therefore opted for the first set up

Bring us to the final point of reason for no viridi's

1. it's more for a bossing setup used in conjunction with coward's legacy to provide low life
2. the above combination results in too much EHP lost especially while mapping in scourge, things get rippy even with a hh
3. 3.16 introduced many forms of curse effect reduction which are accessible with high degree of QOL for asylum which comes with chaos res and a powerful mastery cluster

Summary All round good mapping build and a solid bosser to swap to ice spear where required

Next upgrades would be +2 proj corrupted chest piece and considering using a brutal restraint when we get more levels

POB: https://pastebin.com/58aw8ZBD Switch between Early tree, current tree and target tree Switch between Early mapping gear, current gear and target gear Remember to select the gem set up for correct dps results if you want Do note these are not bossing DPS number, you can throw in a dying sun to increase the ice spear damage.
