IT feels 10 times better than playing with only 2 slow casting arc totems. I like the occultist defense, this build concept and i try to get the Chaos conversion items. If someone else feels bad in mid game, give Storm Brand a Chance. Good call, it doesnt have to be totems but the main skill has to be a lightnign skill to get the conversion going. Let us know how it goes	Posted by Some_Day on Dec 9, 2018, 7:46:24 PM Quote this Post
Guys, I changed the setup from Arc To storm Brand, Same gear and nearly the same tree. And holy hell the damage and clear is insane, enjoy my shaper run video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3HqhQQFL02A https://pastebin.com/hd2C1mZB Last edited by Some_Day on Dec 9, 2018, 11:26:59 PM	Posted by Some_Day on Dec 9, 2018, 11:26:41 PM Quote this Post
Do you recast the brand often enough to justify faster casting? I haven't tried it yet but from the description in the patch notes, it only needs recasting if everything dies. Last edited by Silvermink on Dec 10, 2018, 12:47:03 AM	Posted by Silvermink on Dec 10, 2018, 12:46:05 AM Quote this Post

Casting speed affects how frequently it hits, so its a dps boost!	Posted by Some_Day on Dec 10, 2018, 12:47:49 AM Quote this Post
Is there a particular reason why the new version goes heirophant instead of occultist? Are the brand synergy and survivability nodes particularly worth it? Seems like an Occultist could do higher damage overall.	Posted by slouch186 on Dec 10, 2018, 1:13:04 AM Quote this Post

Hello, thanks for the totem build, I am following the hybrid version, compared to storm brand, Which is easier/ safer for boss fight? Haven’t played poe for a while and wanna challenge some high tier map Thank you.	Posted by hkbutubaman on Dec 10, 2018, 1:37:43 AM Quote this Post

Hey there, Storm Brand is MUCH MUCH better and I suggest you switch to it, there isn't many points to change its almost the same. But the damage and clear is much better. follow my latest tree.

Maybe we could use the spelltotem linked with wither for Boss fights. So we get more time to face dodge.	Posted by redeagle1 on Dec 10, 2018, 3:50:36 AM Quote this Post
