In terms of which rares to pick there is no specific in this build like, prioritizing ES or evasion or armor, it is just pick the best item with the life + resistances?

The latter. ES gear has a minor advantage, but not enough that it should influence your gear choice really.

It's much more efficient if your mitigation comes from flasks.

So I've been playing this build, so far this has been the most successful build I've tried this league, Syndicates have been a non issue, even up to T11+ maps they melt.

This is the gear I cam currently running, I will say one thing, its far from optimal but this just goes to show that the build works even on a tight budget.






I played the original version of this build back in Harbinger league and it was a lot of fun so I'm really enjoying this, it feels very similar in the way its played even though its far from the same at all! A whole lot of fun.

I'll be running it up to T16's later this week and I can already see huge potential even this early into the build / gearing phase of it.

Have we actually seen this new mod veiled mod you are talking about? I've been keeping my eye on trade and the only thing that comes up is Soul Mantle and Tukohama's Fortress. I haven't seen a single rare item with additional summoned totems on it.

It exists, but I didn't know how rare it would be and haven't found it myself either - a crafting service might be the best bet.

It's a prefix that costs 2ex to craft, so you shouldn't use it on anything but the best shields:

I don't feel it's a good idea to keep updating without playing the build (which I don't plan to), but I can give a short summary:

-DP got a buff for damage and radius
-Despair is now a good curse against bosses, so you can (but don't have to) use it instead of Enfeeble.
-On the passive tree you should grab Nimbleness instead of Shamanistic Fury.
-The endgame +1 totem mod on shields is no longer craftable, but now a Shaper mod.
-Zealotry isn't worth using in this build, and Intensify doesn't work on totems sadly. :(

Playing this on 3.6 lv 88 atm good build +1

Feels solid so far. Melting stuff so far with very little Chaos sunk in so far.
Still doing maps like 5 levels higher than me in 20c gear.

Definatly a tier 2 starter build and complements my Vortex build for not wasting maps.
