" Completely agree with you hear. Although my character feels very squishy the damage is astronomical. I was just mentioning the cost of the build listed is meant for Standard players. I've gathered basically everything except the 6linked axe (just have a Disfavour where links arent mattering) and need to upgrade amulets as well as find curse with vulnerability gloves. Great build, glad that this guide/build was here to learn how to play totems for my first time. A lot of people that are "dying" are probably utilizing poor mechanics (including me) and that experience comes with time and awareness of what monsters are in the area as well as understanding what mods on maps being ran how they shall affect your character. |

I've been able to gear myself pretty well this league and I have to say that leveling and content has been very smooth. I've been able to get all of recommended gear (including corrupted veruso's) minus a few minor upgrades in ESC for approximately 25ex. I haven't attempted anything higher than t12 maps yet as I'm only level 81 but I haven't had any issues with damage or survivability with the build and seeing as how strong it is, I don't believe I will be having any problems anytime soon.
I'm currently running a beserker, however, since I am pretty well geared I am contemplating a switch over to chieftan for the extra survivability and totem uptime as OP said that it would be a better choice if you're close to BIS gear. Is anyone able to confirm that making the switch to chieftan would be beneficial (before I sink currency into respec), or is beserker still the better choice? Thanks in advance.

" I actually used the gear the OP recommended. I'm still not sold on Veruso's but haven't played enough to make gear swaps just yet. Links are pretty much the same: Leap Slam > Faster Attacks > Enduring Cry > Blood Magic HoA > Hatred > Enlighten > Clarity CWDT (20) > IC > Molten Shell > Increased Duration I also opted for Temp Chains over Vulnerability as an additive 29% increased physical damage wasn't worth it to me, especially given that the build does a fair chunk of elemental damage thanks to Added Fire and Hatred. The curse is great don't get me wrong, but if I'm going to curse on hit, I'd rather get more CC. The way I played it out was that if everything didn't insta melt on the first totem hit, then the remaining monsters would then be slowed enough to reuse that totem rather than fleeing or making a b-line towards you. A dual curse set up using Punishment would be hella awesome tho as that curse would light this build up! The build excels at boss fights but it makes mapping cumbersome. The biggest issue for me is the totem placement distance. It's radius is quite small, so you have to run into packs. It just feels yolo squishy inherently. I have an EQ Juggernaut with 8.5k and that stupid Blast Rain archer on uber Izaro very nearly one shots me. Even at 7k HP, I don't feel all that tanky in end game. My aim is to get the most dps from the totems but try to stick around 8.5k life with at least decent armor. Overcappung the resists is hard too with all the unique item restrictions. But like I said, the build excels at boss fights, so it's nice to have a couple of them in your hero pool. Deliver pain exquisite

Since my question probably was overshadowed by other replies and wasn't answered, I'm gonna re-post it:
What would the ascendancy points priority be if you're playing berserker in HC? still the same or would you leave Aspect of Carnage for last and go with tankiness first? |

" So you jump around faster? Shower thought: no two rares are the same. So rares are unique, while uniques are not. On the other hand, uniques are rare, while rares are not.

I recently upgraded to Atziri's disfavour and saw damage increase was insane. Just wondering, do I still keep using the voidheart for the poison? or is it a waste of a ring slot since you do not need the bleed chance anymore?
also I have been swapping between culling strike and poison support, but is rapid decay a better option? lastly, back on the voidheart question, all of my resists are capped but when I eventually swap my gloves out for verusos with vuln on hit, I will uncap my lightning resistance. and I considered just dropping voidheart so I could make up my resist there, potentially grabbing more + life and added damage to attacks or something? Great build! so much fun to play and I feel so strong in all content right now. Edit: I haven't taken the dirty tactics skill points yet, I am only level 80 though so plenty of time to grab it, wondering how that factors into the voidheart/gem setup and if it is worth taking over more phys damage/life nodes :) sitting on 6.2k HP atm Last edited by _Hazz_#5647 on Oct 25, 2016, 6:53:41 PM

Poison is better served for builds that cannot sustain attacks (such as squishy archers that need to disengage to reposition all the time). In those cases, DoTs have a huge impact. This build doesn't need DoTs because your totems are always there to cause damage. When one dies, spawning a new one takes a split second.
I'd dump poison all together for more brute force (and to better manage your resists). The bleed adds some DoT and added damage. Scaling poison on top of that is superfluous. And a bad call if you can't cap your resists. Always cap your resists. Always try to hit 161%. Deliver pain exquisite
