[2.2] T14 Viable Tri- Ancestral Facebreaker Heirophant

Pros
very fun (totem placement tricks, blocking hallways, etc)
You are ranged, since the totems dps and tank for you
good damage ( 125k / 81k single target, aoe)
very cheap (BOR and windscream are all you really need)
Good survivability (6 endurance charges, 4-5k health, high block chance, Temporal chains)
deals very well with reflect, and blood magic

Cons
Low Mobility (Shield Charge, no gem slots for faster attacks)
low chaos resist
charges must be manually kept up
Many uniques means that Dexterity and Resists may be needed from tree

why facebreaker/ tri-totem ancestral protector?
Facebreaker has good damage at the cost of gem selection and survivability. Ancestral totem's use my weapon damage, but allow me to stay out of melee range. Using three ancestral protector totems gives me a damage multiplier

why bringer of rain?
The heirophant ascendancy gives access to "Illuminated Devotion", which gives 20% elemental resist penetration for skills in your helm. Bringer of Rain turns your helm into a 7L for your main skill at the cost of a chest. => I have an effective 7.5L helm

Why elemental equilibrium?
1) -50% resist is huge.
2) I already want to apply multiple curses to increase my dps, so curse on hit already seems like a good idea
3) I don't have many gem slots to create another attack with good dps, so firestorm- curse on hit seemed like a better way to increase my dps from my primary attack.

Why elemental damage at all? aren't resists super high?
1) When you convert to an element, you gain benefits from physical damage increases and elemental damage increases.
2) There aren't enough good support gems that don't convert a portion of your damage to an element to fill the 4L with ancestral protector. Since we are trying to push enemy resists as low as they go, you want to make as much of your damage elemental as you can.

But why male models?
Srsly? This reference is a decade old...
... It still makes me chuckle...

When I figure out how to reference my jewels, I'll put them in here. I don't think my gear is that great though.

It go boom.

Math!
7L: Melee physical damage (18), Faster Attacks (12), Blind (6), Ancestral Protector (20/20), Melee Splash (0/20), Physical to Lightning (20/20), Elemental Focus (20/20)


Base Physical Damage per attack = 708


Attack speed
without punishment = 2.33 aps

with punishment = 2.678 aps


base % of damage that is elemental = 69.7%


increased damage % = 244% + 4% per enemy killed recently


Damage multiplier from 7L = 1.47* .752 * 1.29 * 1.36* (.697* 1.49 + 303) = 2.60

Real Damage w/ punishment = 128015 dps single target


Real damage wo/ punishment = 82610 dps single target

Regen Calculation

Tree Regen = 7.5%

Regen with 6 endurance charges = 6* .2 = 1.2% regen

life from enduring cry = duty cycle* regen = (1.45* .75/ (4+.25)) * 394 = 100.8 life/s average => 100.8/ 4892 = 2.1% average

Total regen = 7.5 + 1.2 + 2.1 = 10.8% regen

potion regen = 2880 / 7 * 1.2 * 1.25= 617 life/s = 12.6 %
With a potion = 10.8 + 12.6% = 23.4 %

0) cast your auras at the start of the zone.
1) Whenever you see enemies, you place totems. As long as you are within a distance of about 2/3 of the screen, the totems will attack.
2) For strong enemies, cast Firestorm over the enemies to curse them and constantly trigger Elemental Equilibrium. Use Atziri's Promise to boost your dps.
3) Maintain Enduring Cry, use immortal call constantly if there are 17 or more enemies.
4) cast firestorm near you, immortal call and get hit to trigger punishment (or just use ele weakness, I didn't have the off colors for that)
