Hello everyone! I am currently playing a self-cast Archmage Ball Lightning Hierophant. The damage is okay and sufficient for general T16 alch & go mapping. However, when I turn up the notch a little (more juice) or try pinnacle bosses the lack of physical mitigation really shows itself. I can complete most tasks that I set my sights on, it's just that I'll get randomly one-shotted and die along the way, losing a few portals. I'd like to add a little more tankiness to eventually make progress towards level 96 while also being able to moderately juice my maps. With that many unique items
Suggestions on how to add more tankiness to my build

  So this is the first build I've come up with that isn't a total disaster. TBH, I was following Tataniel's stormburst totems starter but then started adding stuff of my own, like annihilating light, till it got to where it is today.   This is noob stuff so it obviously has problems (-52 chaos resist) but the defense largely comes from putting down the decoy totems so nothing attacks me while the totems kill everything in an area.   It's a glass canon build, I'm fine with that, I will die sometimes. On this one I really want to k

I've been farming T16 maps pretty easily following Tatiantel2 storm burst 3.20 guide. Pretty much, I would like to push the build a lot more since I am in soft core trade. Any advice on skill tree changes or gear changes is certainly welcome. My PoB: Tatianel2:

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?

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:

\\I did NOT come up with this build. Just something I saw and looked fun and interesting to play last league.\\ Got bored last league and wanted to give my self a challenge. Ran this build last league and it was great. Started the build with a tabula, atziris foible, and a storm prism. All other gear was purchased/crafted using the profits made by the build itself. POB: Its fast, tanky, and doesnt care about degen or hits. The basic concept is taking damage (degens + hits) and converting it into lightning damage, increasin
Good nebulis is around 1ex Shield is around 1-2ex. These aren't too common on market. Focus on Spell suppression and +1 totems. CAn use harvest to change max res!! get Galesight with corruption - 80C-1ex Amulet was 2ex. I hit with redeemer orb which got me almost nothing. Enchant is another 0.5ex or so. You can probbaly get something close for cheaper. Skin of the Lords with: Lethe Shade, Iron Will, Iron Reflexes, Ancestral Bond, Divine Shield - all of those are good. I like Lethe Shade the best. 80C Gloves - make sure you have open prefix. should be ~1ex Belt - should be around 100c or less.

Initial thoughts: 1. No guide, and not much currency right now so I'm sure it's janky. 2. DI charge time is reeeeeeally annoying when facing AOE ele dmg which blows the totems away. Thinking of switching to Arc Totems to counteract this- good idea or bad? 3. Tried to go 1H/Shield but the Staff block nodes were easier to reach. Mistake on my end?

POB link: tl;dr I made this build in harvest.. it's really good and fun, but the problem is that now I don't want to play any other build.. and I don't want to remake this build in another league because I know I wont be able to achieve the same level of gear. So it feels bad. At the same time I don't want to miss out on Lake of Kalandra. I want you to convince me there are better builds out there I could use, so that I haven't reached the end of my fun in poe. so yeah. I'm not trying to brag. I consider myself a fairly casual play

So i think i have finished my pob of the shock slinger. Gotta replace the 6 link arc with lightning conduit and add overcharge support to the 3 link arc but thats about it. i tried to be reasonable with the items since its a league starter but who knows what the actual prices of these will be. Guessing ashes of the stars might be a bit much like this league but we probably have other amulet options anyway. One other thing to note. According to a poe wiki or something i read that spellslinger always triggers helmet first so there shouldnt be a problem with lightning conduit trying to cast
