PoE Arcanist Brand, Hierophant builds

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:

Wanting to share my shockwave totem hierophant build. It feels incredible! I had a few problems recently that I solved, and this build is walking over sanctum and t16 juiced maps without issues. Sharing the PoB to hopefully both 1) solicit feedback to improve the build and 2) encourage others to try this build. This is by no means original (mathil loved it last league), but there are no build guides so I wanted to share: The build has defense: 90% armor with determination everything is chilled/frozen taunt from totems

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?

Hey guys, i currently play a EA Hierophant but i have terrible low boss dps and i dont know why. It took me like 5 minutes to kill one of the new pinnacle bosses. hope some1 can help me :)

DPS is calculated this way: 2 guaranteed brands attached to the enemy = 334k DPS x 2 = 669k DPS 5 additional brands shotgunning if there are other valid targets around 786k DPS (a little more if you manage to hit with explosion instead of shockwave) Total of 1455k DPS, almost 1.5 mil Up to double that much depending on how many brands are in last 25% of duration Vaal Breach helps shotgunning bosses

Hi All, I put together 2 templates (Hierophant and Champion) that I believe offer a different take on the current ignite-heavy EA Ballista builds (from XaiTV, Crouching\_tuna, Palsteron, and others). While I can in no way call these original, I think they can be tanky while putting out acceptable damage. The only gear equipped by default (if you look at items) is a +3 bow and 4-5 unrolled flasks (Silver, Jade, Granite, Quartz). Use an enduring mana/hybrid flask if needed The EA skill group is set to Barrage, swap with GMP for clear I don't know if the Flame Surge tech that everyone i
