Totems are not invulnerable, you recast them alot. Casting a 6L totem also happens to consume tons of mana and goodluck with lifeleech when a rhoa pack is charging at your totems.

Better make an unique with extra totem life and totems that can evade incoming rhoa charges.

My first post states that this chest shines best NOT as a pure totem build, this chest is best for throwing over the shoulders of a normal DPS caster especially Low Life where even the totem damage is gonna get boosted by redbeak/righteous fire whatever u want. You may say that's risky but after hundreds of hours with Low Life build playing i have to say that once you get max resists even in chaos Low Life doesn't quite feel so risky anymore.

Anyway I always used 1 totem with my Low Life build and when ur DPS is super high + dat Low Life bear trap support the totems hardly ever go down by force. And recasting them can be accopanyied by taking anti curse flasks. People keep mentioning rhoas but I mean rhoas are just bear trap food. You can also use icewall to protect your totems.

There is no downside to this armor if you build ur character and play it correctly. Maybe a higher skill cap to playing the game but once you get past that this is the most GG chest I've seen. Maybe not for PvP but for running maps yup IMO

Except that Hyrri's Ire is still shitty if you already have acrobatics. By the time you get there you'll have both forms of acrobatics, but Hyrri's won't provide any benefit over and above that.

If they make the acrobatics keystone on the chestpiece a flat +20% more chance to dodge instead, or even more, then it would be a good chest to have.

OP? I still have doubts this chest is even usable. It's been confirmed by devs that the curse works like map curses (not permanent though). Can stack and can't be removed by warding flasks.
