2.2 - Shockwave Totem **UPDATED FOR ASCENDANCY** (atziri viable) - We buff now *ENDORSED BY KARV*

Would really like to play this build but after looking at the guide I stall am not sure of which class to make for this and which subclass to make for this? Oh and I can't get the passive tree to load either. I guess I am completely helpless.

Could you expand on the Shadow SWT reasoning here...or make a new thread in the Shadow forum?

I am currently in the process of making a video for Inquisitor and Assassin right now after I get a little bit more time playing each class. Also I will put something up in each forum.

Passive tree should be working now.

As I dont ever see myself finishing even Normal Labyrinth what's the best class without Ascension for SWT?

seems the only way is hierophant cause of this best 20% power charge on totem palcement.
we need more power charges cause of more crit and spell damage.

Probably just Witch

Just a heads up for everyone I will be moving the SWT guide over to Templar/Shadow forums.

I fail to see the 20% PC charge on totem placement.

However, Hierophant is probably the best because of

"

Can have up to 2 additional Totems summoned at a time
10% less Totem Damage per active Totem

The totems deal nice damage. Having 4 of them up. But then, having 4 Totems up makes each totem have 40% less dmg.... still it might be worth it since bosses would have more totems to cut down

You're wrong.

No, he's right. Totems dont generate power charges. I'm assuming that's what hew means.

Probably not as strong as some of the other ascendancy classes but going saboteur and getting the 32 percent increased aoe from the aoe per mine with no point investment (just put them down when you enter an area since they never expire) is very fun and getting the 10% of phys as additional fire and 8% elemental penetration is pretty decent as well.

on top of that if you have the totems down on a boss you can throw traps for the damage bonus from bomb specialist as well
