F.O.X.'s Gatlings | Quad Ice Spear Totems | ALL CONTENT VIABLE | HC Viable

Hello guys.

I want to share my Ice Spear Totem Build.



PASTEBIN :

HC :

3.6 CHANGES :
Spoiler

We got a buff!

- Mana Cost at gem level 1 is now 8 (was 6).
- Mana Cost at gem level 20 is now 23 (was 20).
- Now deals 22 to 33 Cold damage at gem level 1 (from 14 to 21) and 383 to 575 Cold damage at gem level 20 (from 369 to 553).


HOW THIS WORKS :
Spoiler

As totemancer, you need to place totems and run away to avoid incoming damage.
You can't stop moving or hiding during fights.

Ice Spear skill has 2 types of projectiles , the first one that never pierce and has low dmg and low crit chance, and the second one, the most important phase of the build has 600% more crit chance, 50% more crit multi, 300$ more proj speed.

Later you'll see that I use Pierce linked on Ice Spear.
That's because sometimes monsters stuck on your totems and without this it will be a pain to kill them.

Storm Brand, another amazing thing, let you increase your damage of 50% when it's attached on an enemy.
It will shock too and apply your curse.

Arcane Surge is good for mana regen and let your totems leech damage.
It's a good thing for long battles with high DPS enemies, so you won't place totems like a crazy man.



PRO :

Spoiler

High DPS.
Fast clear (not like Tornado Shot and similiar).
Safe.
You can use Totem's MTX.
Positive Chaos Res.
Tanky build , MOM and good life pool.
No curses while using totems.
You don't need to swap gems before bosses.


CONS :
Spoiler

Totem Playstile is not so good and friendly.
One shot enemies can be annoying.


MAP MODS TO AVOID :
Spoiler

Elemental Reflect - really annoying, you have to place totem like a assault rifle.
No Mana Regen - you can use a flask, but to do this you must leave in your inventory 1 important flask.


LIST OF UNIQUE ITEMS :

Spoiler




GEM LINKS :
Spoiler

MOVEMENT SKILL (3L):
Spoiler
Flame Dash - Faster Casting - Arcane Surge

GOLEM (2L) :
Spoiler
Summon Lightning Golem - Minion Life

Spoiler

CURRENT EQUIP :
Spoiler




FLASKS :
Spoiler




JEWELS :
Spoiler





BANDITS :
Spoiler

Help Alira.


ASCENDANCY :
Spoiler

Pursuit of Faith - Ritual of Awakening - Conviction of Power - Illuminated Devotion.


ARCANE SURGE TRICK :
Spoiler


Link Arcane Surge with your Movement Skill.
I suggest Flame Dash because you can put it into shield, but you can also use Lightning Warp and put into boots/gloves with Faster Casting - Less Duration and Arcane Surge.

Remember that Arcane Surge must activate every time you use movement skill, so pay attention to gem level.


LEVELLING TIPS :
Spoiler

EQUIPMENT :
Spoiler

WEAPON :
Spoiler

You can use "Lifesprig" and "Heartbreaker".

SHIELD :
Spoiler

"Light of Lunaris" is very good until you get a rare shield with +1 Max Totem.

HELMET :
Spoiler

"Goldrim" is best in slot.

GLOVES / BOOTS :
Spoiler

Any rare/unique that gives some life, mov speed and res.

AMULET / RINGS :
Spoiler


Those 2 are really cheap, you can get them for 20C (min rolls too is good). For the other ring slot you can get a ring that gives some life, res and dex.

BELT :
Spoiler

You can use a belt that gives life and res, I used the one that dropped from enemies until level 68 when I started to farm some chaos.

BODY ARMOUR :
Spoiler

Tabula Rasa. No way. This or some white 5L.


PASSIVE SKILL TREE :
Spoiler





PANTHEON :

Spoiler

MAJOR GODS :
Spoiler

Soul of the Brine King :
Spoiler

Use this with "50% reduced Effect of Chill on You" and "You cannot be Frozen if you've been Frozen Recently" on Shaper / Elder.

Soul of Arakaali :
Spoiler

Full Unlock this for easy mapping.


MINOR GODS :
Spoiler

Soul of Ryslatha :
Spoiler

Use this under boss. Full Unlock.

Soul of Shakari :
Spoiler

Use this while mapping. Full Unlock it.





CONTENT :

Spoiler

The only thing I can't do is HoGM.
You can easy kill Red Elder , Shaper , Uber Atziri, Vaal Temple, Mastermind , Lich , Delve Bosses , Temple Bosses.
Uber Elder is a bit hard, you need advanced knowledge of game and bosses' mechanics, but you can do it with less than 5 portals.

Thanks for the tip, I'll add to Pastebin link :)
Nice build! I want to try it, it seems pretty solid

Btw, for leveling, i suggest a corrupted +2 proj gem tabula. It's cheap and strong for this build

The cycle of life and death continues. We will live, they will die.

I really like this guide. My most favorite part is the Screenshot of the path of building where you mark the way you should move along when lvling. That is really really helpfull. I will definitly test your build
