PoE Spell, Totem builds

So far I I copied most of this from some easily available SW Totem builds, which are way, way too expensive though. The goal for this is a sub 5d char that excels at sanctums Basic concepts: Full cold convert, hrimsorrow rn, later might go veiled mod 35% phys to cold 40% Mastery +?? Heatshiver go hiero, get battle mage from forbidden jewels (way cheaper than getting +1 totems as an inq, that alone is 10 d at least) Use marohi+astral projector Go crit, its convinient with the the skills/path, but maybe I should go nc with hiero? (No idea) Creeping frost Totem for chill Arc brand/ass M

I am like in dire need of help... I don't know what to improve on next honestly. I can farm T16 maps slowly, but I still do get 1 shotted lol. I've seen people running Hex Master on PoENinja and some people don't even run Vitality or Determination. Can't fit Vitality in at the moment. I prioritized Determination over Vitality. LMK what you think.. TIA. Link to my POB:

Wanting to share my shockwave totem hierophant build. It feels incredible! I had a few problems recently that I solved, and this build is walking over sanctum and t16 juiced maps without issues. Sharing the PoB to hopefully both 1) solicit feedback to improve the build and 2) encourage others to try this build. This is by no means original (mathil loved it last league), but there are no build guides so I wanted to share: The build has defense: 90% armor with determination everything is chilled/frozen taunt from totems

I am planning my new league starter for 3.18. This is the current "best" one I could come up with, that shouldnt be too expensive to get close to.

POB: Just a meme build theory, dont take too seriously. (Also, I'm not going to push this into practice cause already 36 challenge this league.) In theory, playstyle could be very simple. Shield charging, placing a searing bond totem and repeating this cycle until boss fight, then spamming totems. With ashes of stars and phantasmal Q gems, 12 totems in total grant giga life and mana regen thus compensate cost of indigon in some way. Gears in POB are not realistic at all, just provide some ideas to min-max searing bond dot dmg.

Wasssa wassa This is my Searing Bond build for the 3.17 league POB: Main idea: Searing bond (6L) for melt dps Bodyswap totems (5L ) for getting searing bond on enemies + combust How we get dmg: Usual tree for increasing totem/fire/burn/dmg over time dmg 3x curses + arcane surge with vixen gloves Malevolance, Zealotry, Skitterbots, HoA Wave of Conviction + trap + multi trap + charged traps (frenzy generation) Pros: No targeting Searing Bond The build can be a league starter with great rewards as you sink cu

After finishing my first build and wracking my brain trying to figure out what to play next I re-read the patch notes looking for anything that popped out. The ignite changes are what prompted my first build, but the changes to Scorching Ray and Searing bond really caught my eye. Yes EE is effectively dead for these skills, and EO is literally dead (they can't hit therefore can't crit whatsoever), but their base damages were raised so enormously (exactly 58% more for both) that it doesn't even matter. In addition, no longer needing a 4l to proc both EE and EO and just straight getting almo

A really fun build that i play every league since the introduction of the Astral Projector Ring It makes your nova skills automatically target closest enemy, wich makes Shockwave Totem a totally viable skill now! If you are like me, and your computer is shit, and want to enjoy a relatively safe build and looting items while your totems protect you? Then that's the build for you! It is not a league starter since you need the Astral Projector ring, but since they added the atlas passive, people get Metamoprh encounter more often, i seen

I REALLY WISH shockwave totems would rotate to face their targets, to fully realize the guntotem vibes on the Dragon Totem skin. GGG, Guns of Oriath basetype expansion in POE2 plz. "Delve but pirates" can be the excuse\~ Reference POB: [
