[3.8] LiftingNerdBro's Tri/Quad Frostbolt Totems Hierophant - Strong League Starter!
Been running this build the past few days, now level 78, running yellow maps, getting ready to regear. Some thoughts:
Freezing Pulse can also be used and is basically plug and play - swap Frozen Trails for First Snows and FB for FP. Pros/Cons of FP compared to FB as I see it: + FP is more "responsive" because of the projectile speed. That makes it safer in tight indoor maps like Toxic sewer in my experience + FP has 6% base crit compared to FB's 5%, meaning more consistent crits with lesser gear + FP is a classic skill that looks and sounds cool. It's the quintessential cold skill in my book - Most importantly, FP is proj speed dependent. At a minimum, you want Winds of Change, but ideally both WoC and max quality FP. Otherwise your reach sucks - FP doesn't have the offscreen capability that FB does with its short projectile lifetime - FP has a damage falloff, though it's hardly noticeable. Probably still worth planting FP totems as close to bosses as possible to maximize damage - No flashy celestial MTX In general, other than base crit, there's nothing that FP does that FB doesn't do at least as well. I think FP feels better in tight maps, but FB wins in open maps like Beach. In any case, my clear speed with FP feels great. Single target isn't any better. I prefer FP in most cases. Edit: All of this is based on using a 5L Taryn's Shiver and 20/20 Frostbolt or Freezing Pulse Last edited by ConsPark#2414 on Mar 31, 2018, 3:13:11 AM

Starter build for 3.2 (casual player) and now lvl 90 with 6-link Taryns. I'm very happy with the build! For a totem build, the clear speed is very good. Putting down 4 totems and watch entire screens of mobs explode is awesome!
Fully buffed i can get about 70k tooltip damage per totem, up to 130k in the heat of the fight due to the Hierophant ascendancies. After finally getting a 6 link, the damage increase was very noticeable. I have killed tier 10 elder spawn and 2 of the 4 guardians (haven't found the others yet). It went surprisingly easy! Thanks for the great build idea! |

It would be nice if you changed color of text for gems so it would be easier to see what colors we need.
Example: Critical Hit Damage |

Thx for build. Up to 15 tier are bosses easy even for farming. Lvl 89. Taryn's Shivers. Gems Frostbolt ... 21/20.
