So I’ve seen a decent amount of “Hierophant sucks” lately and figured i'd throw something together to see if it was as advertised. I am glutton for punishment so it’s time for firestorm Hierophant in all of its masochistic glory! I am currently running this build @ lvl 90 in PHC.
The purpose of this build was to make something budget friendly that wouldn’t explode to quad mod lmp devo’s (not confirmed). I only play HC so for whatever reason you opt to play this in SC, it can tweaked for more damage. This build runs Elemental Overload, MoM (40%), and two blasphemy curses (Warlords and Enfeeble). 230% HP is obtainable through max roll life jewels. SKill tree: My Current Skill Tree: Current Stats: 7,169 HP/1,363 Mana after reservation
Spoiler
Offense: EO, Atziri's promise, and Rallying Cry
Spoiler
  Defense: W/ Rumi's
Spoiler
 Aura Radius: Radius w/ Sovereignty
Spoiler
 Required Items: Massive increase to our mana pool and a pseudo 6L for FS. Great synergy with Conviction of Power and Warlord’s mark. This is how the build achieves 100% uptime on endurance charges. It also provides decent mana for our MoM pool. Pro’s:
Spoiler
Fairly cheap (Core items cost around 55C)
Easy to play (1h confirmed) Durable (231%max life with jewels, 100% uptime on 6 Endurance charges in combat without EC, MoM @ 40%) Full screen curses Watch mob’s do the stun dance Con’s:
Spoiler
FS so clear speed is not top tier
Not a chaos build Ascendency:
Spoiler
In this order – Illuminated Devotion, Conviction of Power, Divine Guidance
Labyrinth:
Spoiler
easy mode face tank w/ preloaded firestorm damage
 Bandits:
Spoiler
Oak/Skill Point/Oak
Gear/Gems:
Spoiler
POH:
Spoiler
5L PoH: FS, Conc, FirePen, Faster Casting, Elemental Focus
Faster casting can be swapped out although I would recommend FC as it improves mobility. Chest:
Spoiler
I chose to go with Kaom’s Heart because you end up with a ton of survivability and a little bit of a damage boost. You can also go with your standard Coil or belly and use these gem slots for utility.
Helm:
Spoiler
Enchant: Something that buffs firestorm or your auras
Depending on what chest you decided to pick up you can run: a) Fire totem > FC > Controlled Destruction > Elemental Overload b) Utiliity: Flame dash > FC + Rallying Cry + Vaal Lightning Trap (Slots are fairly flexible and have room for customization). Gloves:
Spoiler
Warlords, Enfeeble, Blasphemy, Enlighten
Enchant: Very impressed with Decree of Winter. Many viable enchants. Gloves are our blasphemy aura set up for them full screen auras. Boots:
Spoiler
Enchant: 1.5% life and mana regen when hit are top tier
This is our “oh shit” slot. We get 2% life leeched from illuminated devotion plus 2% mana and life leech from warlords mark. This bad boy should top you off pretty nicely if you happen to be gang banged by a bunch of leapers in an alley. IC duration is around 5 seconds which is plenty of time to get back up to 6 endurance charges. Molten shell (lvl 18), CWDT (14), Increased AOE/Increased Duration, Immortal Call (lvl 16) Amulet:
Spoiler
You’re basically just looking to pick up a ton of defense in this slot. HP, Mana, Stats, Resists. Additional curse if you're rich as it saves 6 points. If you happen to get a nice amulet you can pick up some more life nodes, Sovereignty, Righteous Decree/Dynamo, or the mana% nodes and jewel slot at scion.
Rings:
Spoiler
Romaria’s + more defensive stats, possibly mana regen if your resists allow it.
Belt:
Spoiler
MORE DEFENSE
Flasks:
Spoiler
No real mandatory flask set ups. Atziri's promise is a nice boost to damage. You can run rumi’s for a little more block or taste of hate for some added phys mitigation.
Current Gear:
Spoiler
Map Mods to Avoid:
Spoiler
Elemental reflect
Curse immune Blood magic Atziri viable:
Spoiler
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Leveling Guide:
Spoiler
Standard two life sprigs into better weapons into tabula. Swap to PoH at 68. I used a FS /Flame totem combo all the way up to 68 and it seemed fine. The pathing below was just what I chose, you can navigate however you like. After picking up PoH, I made my way to dual curse, then finished out the scion life wheel. After that I picked up skittering, plan to grab the last few life nodes by mara and finish with the jewel slots.

Updated the guide a bit. Things have been going smoothly making my way through yellow maps. Pretty much face tank everything aside from one butt cheek clenching moment when the orchard boss crit me for 4.5k. The leech/regen from two different pools is pretty effective.

Picked up a 6L PoH, dropped explosive impact for sovereignty and worked in vaal lightning trap.
