3.5 update

3.4 update


Hello, this is a work in progress but wanted to show off the power of the new helm Indigon
Yes, GC totems is very boring, I know, but I started this character because I found my MH weapon and had to make a build with it. My previous build was a trickster using Indigon based on Waggle and Rhaegar's builds, and I wanted to continue experimenting with Indigon.

Post below with comments and questions, I will be happy to answer, thanks for reading.

vaal temple clear and boss kill added to videos

I have watched your videos and you don't seem to be spamming your totems to gain increased spell power too much like the other Indigon builds. So my question is, with just laying out your 4~5 totems, is that enough mana used to get a big enough boost from the helm?

Also I'm curious about the buff from the helm as its related to totems, as in if you have a boost of we'll say ~2000% spell damage when you lay a totem down... Does that totem retain the 2000% buff for it's duration? Or is that 2000% buff only for the amount of time the character has it, and therefor it would be for All totems?

Basically I'm just wondering if it's being snapshotted, or is it a global buff that will increase and decrease as you gain and lose the buff, or does it stick with each totem at the time of it being created/casted.


I love the idea and had been thinking about doing it myself... I tried just throwing the Helm on my Heiro, but didn't alter the tree or other gear at all and it did pretty good just with that setup.

Well done!

True, and yes it is enough to lay out a couple at a time instead of spamming because I spam totems only in the beginning of the fight to ramp up my mana use. Once I get it going each totem costs over 9k mana, which means I have to wait a little bit for the cost to go down before I can place another. The limiting factor here is that my mana pool and regen cannot keep up with spamming totems endlessly, I'm not sure how to decrease it at this point but I have been trying to play around it by placing totems sparsely.

I wish I had the answer, and if anyone knows I would love to hear the answer!
Good luck with the build and have fun!

Totems do not snapshot buffs. Drinking a flask or gaining another temporary buff will change the damage on existing totems, as will weapon swapping, and anything else that changes your damage number.

As for the build and uber kill, pretty cool. I definitely didn't do that well my first kill with a more traditional GC totem build (4 deaths, but only ~8 ex in gear). I actually got an indigon from that kill and played around with it a bit, but it was going to take too extensive of a gear change to make it work so I ended up selling it. You're making me reconsider going for it though, almost 8k mana is pretty sexy.

That's good to know, thanks!

Actually, I bricked my first set because I didn't manage the adds well enough. This was my second attempt!

Very good option to use phys to lightning, this allows you to replace "the long winter"x2 with grand spectrum jewels

Updated "Alternative Versions" section, currently playing around with scorching ray version, has higher damage output on average but more clunky to play, cheaper than GC version.
