PoE Melding of the Flesh, Templar builds

A few weeks a go I was theorizing what I wanted to play for the next league, and I made this thread: I had a set or requirements for the build, mainly a totem playstyle, high quality of life, and zero-to-hero possibility in terms of scaling. Eventually I landed on Hierophant as an ascendancy, simply because it provides the most straightforward access to damage and totem placement speed, and because it has a good position on the passive tree. This allows me to focus more gear into defens

What would you change/sacrifice? Any suggestions are appreciated!

Hey Everyone! Update on a build Utilizing Craghead+Widowhail for the high chance to stun.A user called elguso pointed out a cool interaction with the combo in order to utilize the high amounts of projectile speed reduction. By using mines, we were able to stack 10 minimum balls ontop of each other with a stun threshold reduction of .07. THIS IS A MINE AND TOTEM BUILD!

I was very fortunate to be gifted a Mageblood. My Inquisitor power level shot way up, but still has a very long way to go to my goal if no-hit Sanctum runs. I have an excellent Relic (stolen from my main char) which helps a lot with the auras. I've got clusters set up for aura stacking, and about 6 Divines worth saved up. I'm hoping for input on what I should improve next. I think my gloves are in a good spot, and clusters are pretty close. But I'm not sure where to focus next. Some ideas: 1) Swap in a 2nd Snowstorm Cluster, about 4% improvement 2) Buy/Craft a better +3 Spark helmet
