[3.6] Milky's Scorching Ray Totems (updating process)

Updated MyCharacter section and the gem section (just some infos)

Will add a PoB link later as well, but you can always import my char yourself (Milkyslice > RFTotemsAndSRTotems), yes a very creative charactername ;)

Just keep in mind that shaperdps with RF totem doesnt matter since i wouldnt use it, only for clearing. SR and SB shaperdps is the more interesting part.
Currently sitting at over 1mio shaperdps with the setup and i still use a lvl 15 efficacy and non quality lvl 16 controlled destruction, no lvl 21 SR or lvl 20 supports. Just leveled gems and no further changes will make a good difference as well.

Lvl 21 gems are rather cheap atm thanks to beastcrafting and quality on SR isn't usually important for bossing.

I also wanna rework the skilltree pic since it's missing the Marauder area which can be a good alternative to dps nodes

---

Notes:

Currently testing enfeeble vs temporal chains. Curse related mapmods affect both, but the rather common 'enemys cannot be taunted or slowed below basespeed' mod favours enfeeble a bit. Same for the most dangerous regular mobs: those leaping kitava herald dudes from null portals.

Due to my lvl 20 spelltotem in boots (22 would even better, but dont bother using lvl 18 versions!) i am testing rf in the boots and SR in the chest.

The pseudo 5link feels to be enough for any trashmob while benefiting from extremely more singletarget dps.
No need to do it that way, but its recommended to swap SR in a 5l or 6l soulmantle for endgame bosses. I am just lazy and dont wanna swap around... and it works out.

Gear wise i am pretty satisfied now, there is nothing significant better for me on the market that is costing less than 1ex per slot. lvl 22 spelltotem boots would be the dream, but i havent seen any good ones that are affordable for a poor dude like me ;)

Could check for some new jewels as well (20% self-flag etc)

Current lvl 91 Skilltree

nothing special to see here. Chooses fire walker for the resist it offers (more flexible gear).
the 14% eledmg at the templarstart (and the one at ancestral bond) are my wildcard skillpoints.
for excample when i wanted firewalker instead of picking the 8% eledmg node i used the 14% node at the templar start. Once i leveled up i respecced the 14% node and skilled firewalker. Just trying to be most efficient with the skillpoints after lvl 85.
Want some 3 point jewel? maybe specc 28% eledmg until you got your 3rd point available.

Breath of Flames is 16% burning dmg per point, so its not bad. On the other side those points could go into defence as well.

Hey Milky :), started playing your build few days ago. I must say its really fun so far.
I just came back from a year+ brake, there is a metric ton of new stuff im trying to catch on.
So here is my question - what do you think for https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Atziri%27s_Reflection? And replacing the rings with Pyre or/and some damage/defense oriented rares?

Rumor has it that the prophecy is a bit rare.

a bit is a understatement. There is currently none listed on trading sites. And those which were listed costed 120+ ex.

Its better we forget that this item exists until GGG adjusts the prophecy spawnrate (maybe never)

Just finished my first UberAtziri (almost) Deathless (stupidbeasts).

ripped to trashmobs once in a tight corridor with no flasks up. Was pretty smooth overall, especially the bosses

Boot Enchant is set to 2.5% life/mana regen to simulate Ritual of Awakening!
I have the actual enchant for a total of 4.5% regen (can change yourself to test it)
Presets: Shaper/Guardians, EE on enemy, hit recently (for the ritual of awakening simulation), totem summoned, power/endurance charges up, 6 curses on myself including enfeeble.
The amount of curses is more than realistic, at the start of bossfights 10+ which can drop over time below 6. Should be at least a generous average number :>

What do you guys think about using a lightpoacher with RF damage enchant?

Nice video, thanks!

You probably forget about Topaz Flask for duo Oversoul, because you was close to death at that encounter too.

I hope I will finally kill UberAtziri this league, last time I tried twice and failed miserably. Have ok defensive setup atm, but still have a lot to improve for dps, though even 5-link SM should be enough probably.

Since we have MoM, what do you think about using Hybrid Flask btw?

yes a 5link is more than enough.

hybrid flasks are pretty shitty. Low amount of uses, low regen etc.

Early mapping they might be fine, but for me atm with 600+ mana/sec as regen it would make barely any difference (literally any normal manaflask)

Lvl 81 in Beastiary HC

NOTE: I know I do not have jewels yet (playlife% / totemlife %)

I feel extremely squishy and quite low on damage. My damage is "alright" but I seemingly felt way stronger with balefire + spell totem (I legit just used the SR totem for all mobs.)

Anything you can suggest I do or switch?

My typical playstyle mapping = Cast Decoy in front of me, RF Totem barely in front of that, RF on me and one searing bond in a random spot.

Unsure if I'm playing it wrong or if I should just run SR totem and spellcast only and forget RF.

Tips would appreciate
