Managed to complete my atlas with this build. The gear isnt perfect since its a ssf character. There are two setups - one with windscream (for bossing) and one with bubonic trail (for mapping). There are some other swaps I usually do depending on the boss im about to fight, like swapping the jade flask for ruby / sapphire or whatever else is needed. The only thing ive struggled with was the ziggurat boss (Nightmare of Catarina). The arena there feels too small for me, but I'm sure someone younger could manage to manoeuvre in it. Its a pretty solid build, even without the mageblood (usin

If you like the detached mirage archer playstyle, take Occupying Force instead of Farshot in your 2nd lab and grab point blank while you're at it. The playstyle will be different but the damage will be similar. Do not take ricochet until you have enough power coming from your gear. Make sure you don't have any source of pierce when you go for ricochet. Flasks are really strong on this build and they are cheap to roll with alterations. We invest multiple points in the passive tree to improve their uptime and effectiveness; Do not let those points be wasted on some crappy rolled flasks. Rol

PLAYSTYLE < Clear < For clear you just place down ballistas and run. Bossing < You can start a fight by having all your totems up and ready, then as soon as the boss is targetable use your infernal cry and press focus. During the fight you want to keep to your totem limit all the time. You also want to use your frenzy setup to keep frenzy charges up. Only when you have time for it you want to cast your Arcanist Brand, this is the lowest priority since it's a little unreliable on bosses that move anyway. LEVELING < Be warned that the leveling experience on this is not as smoot

I've been more successful than I anticipated on my homebrewed power siphon totems build and wanted to show it off a bit as well as get some help. I haven't had a lot of time to play so I've been pretty broke, and to be honest it hasn't been the best starter for making money, but all things considered the build has been pretty good to me. At this point I've probably spent about 2 div total, and have been easily doing the league mechanic in T16 maps (not super juiced, but no issues even with delirium mirror and abyss). It's been extra easy to gear because Aegis Aurora is dirt cheap this league.
