[3.4] ARC totem hierophant. End game bosses ready

Hey guys,

been testing out the build and i can't seem to get around the idea that this build is able to do uber elder and uber atziri? It feels really squishy in general. I have alot of experience with the totem playstyle so i know that movement is our #1 defense, but even then i can't see how i would be able to survive Guardians/Shaper/Endgame. Any tips would be apprecciated as i would like to continue this build and not go for some cookie-cutter endgame build.

guys, I have 4 totems now. is it worth it to lose one(get rid of ancestral bond) so I can self cast lightning spire trap?

Lightning spire trap does work even if you have ancestral bond- because you are NOT the one trying to deal the damage, but the traps- so they are not effected by the fact if you have AB or not.

uber lab is ( at least today ) just easy

now with rare 6l, 4400 life and 2400 mana with MoM the build is very stable for me.

just "overcapped" my res somehow :D ( 150% / 125% / 107% even with the -60% debuff ... )


Yeah I did uber lab today for the first time ever in my time playing PoE. I cake walked it with 3800 health and 2000 mana still using tabula rasa. I expected worse from reading about it.
what lvl should the arcane surge be ?

It's really a preference thing. I capped mine at level 9, as the mana cost for my conductivity curse allowed it to trigger *every* time I cast it. If I were to level it to 10, I'd have to cast conductivity twice before it would trigger.

I'd personally match it to mana cost just for ease of use.

With all the mana nodes from the tree you will not need a mana flask nor clarity.

For no regen maps I use this:
