PoE Hierophant, League Starter builds without Heatshiver, The Ivory Tower

In 3.14 that was my favorite build, unfortunately, that build lost more than 1M dps in 3.15 due to various nerfs But this time, with the buff of the Skin of the Loyal armor (from +1 to +2 gem lvl) and the new mastery system, i managed to get back to its original 3.14 strength! PoB: It can go up to 4M with a watcher eye! but that gets way too expensive! EDIT: 3.8M with Hrimsorrow unique glove! league starter friendly! (except for astral projector ring!) EDIT 2: I edited the tree, went more on the shadow region for crits

POB: Looking into playing dark pact totem as a starter that can scale into end game. With trash gear, lv17 gems, and a 5 link this should do 500K dps. Which can scale to 5.5m dps with investment. Defense is MoM, HP, ES, and the totem play style. Debating between swapping out zealotry for vaal discipline if I feel squishy. Anyone have experience with DP totems? Main thing is I am sure the build will feel very clunky until getting astral projector. Hopefully not unplayble clunky.
