PoE Hierophant, Portal, Physical builds

Unless you are using stealing Inquisitor's Inevitable Judgement via Forbidden Flesh/Flame, this is probably the single biggest damage upgrade you can make against Lycia, who has 50% elemental res.

All that's needed for this build to function is Multiple Totems Support. The first particularly huge damage upgrade will be the Pursuit of Faith after your first lab, and the only thing to worry about otherwise is HP, Res, and Damage mitigation until you're prepared to begin bossing.
