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.

tldr: molten shell go boom for \~2M dps, generally invincible, and maximum jank I discovered an interesting interaction with Power of Purpose (PoP) awhile back, namely that any "Gain maximum mana as extra maximum energy shield" modifiers actually use the pre-conversion maximum mana (verified in game). This means mana stacking gives us both armour and energy shield. However, I couldn't figure out how to get reasonable damage out of the build... until this patch! The core of the build is to stack mana to get over 50k armour, to make maximum use of Molten Shell. Molten shell gets popped by atta
