Hey man I love your build I was thinking about starting with this but I have a question about you going occultist now.

You mention we can get another totem on a +1 rare shield but you use the shield for the totem leech.

Is that build as good with only 2 totem compared to Hierophant?

Totem only get 1 extra Totem now, I occultist just does much more damage even with 3 totems. Reassons why:

Void Beacon + Withering presence: Free Wither + negative chaos resistance + 60% chaos resistance, which frees up our helmet slot to use Eber's Unification which is another huge dps boost.

ALso Wicked ward helps us recharge the ES better as eldritch battery or hybrid. So overall occultist is better

can't wait to see the occultist version in action

Is there an up to date occultist pob? I've tried a couple of the ones including the one on the first page and they all seem out of date or incomplete?

Guys, I am currently testing the Occultist version on standard, keep waiting in que to acutally join the game because the servers are overloaded. Will let you know what the best version is soon

So should I try this build or this one (RF Scourching Ray totems - from you) https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2088267/page/1 as my league starter? (First time using totems)

Thanks! :D

Hey, you should try the SR totems as this one is more advanced :P

Guys, I managed to test the build on standard. I recorded a vid, if anyone has shaper fragments whos willing to donate I'll happily do a shaper run.

Here is my character's current POB and Video

I was using corrupted energy in the build, but removed in favour of ghost reaver.

So if there's 3 versions, Occ, Hybrid and Self Cast, which one is the best late game and which one is the best for casual play?
