[3.25] MoM Crit Power Siphon Totem Hierophant

Hi there,
I also played this build last league and enjoyed it so much, so I also went for it this league. But last time I stayed at the Lv95 version with just Lightning Coil etc. Now I tried to go for the rage transition, had all relevant items (I think) and Lightning/Chaos res is capped. But now I die a lot more and I also feel damage is lacking.
I'm not sure where I made a mistake. It would be great if someone can take a look and point me to the issue. I assume something with accuracy or crit chance?

Thanks guys!

Imo same problem as the last guy. You switched to Berserk without any life regeneration which will be converted into rage generation. The gloves and Berserk add basically no value.

On top you have below 2k life and below 6k mana. That is just not enough. Going to the shadow area is sth you can do at very late level. Currently you don't have the points for it.

With a 21 Purity of Lightning and socketing the aura and your Divergent Eternal Blessing into a +2 aura corrupted item (would give you over 60% aura effect = +8% max lightning resistance). I would put Arcane Cloak without Sigil of Power into weapon/shield to free a slot to do that.

Put on Breathstealer and annoint sth. good like Surveilance or Lethality.

Intelligence is mana. You used a bunch of those nodes for chaos resistance which is not really benefical.

Hello,

I started with arc totems and they seemed very week for late game, so in searching for a new build I found yours. I'm not really in depth experienced with the game and mostly follow builds, but I don't understand how to make this work. I get killed in a touch, the totems don't really do much damage and most of the gems have requirements I cannot possibly fulfill.

This is the link

I'm sure I have messed things up, but can someone please help me, I waisted everything I earned so far and can't even continue to play.

This build is terrible until you get lightning coil and spend about 10+ divine getting it set up properly, you will get 1 shot a lot if you are not careful. You need to play super safely and just accept the fact its a squishy build until u can farm a lot of currency. at 93+ I was dying about once or twice a level while playing safely by placing totem way ahead of me, what gets you is teleporting mobs or really fast ones that get u before totems can do anything, that is where the high budget setup comes in to stop u from blowing up instantly.

I am basically done with the build now and any upgrades are minor, the only real positive early on is the build clears very fast and has some good single target damage with little investment, but the build requires a lot to make it feel good.

If you follow the level guide section and get the helmet+weapon+amulet you are pretty much good to go.

I listened to the advice and went to the lvl 92 version without lightning coil and feels much better. Got 3 voidstones so far and still farming currency on heists, got something like 18+ divs so far, I know, I play slow and rarely :). Not sure how much do I need to start the switch to lightning coil, but gonna farm some more to get to 20+.

It is quite squishy and you need to be very careful, though my deaths are mostly when I lose focus and die from things like exploding strongboxes and exploding monsters or stop moving :). And I'm sure my gear is not very optimized, just bought the first thing that came on trade :D.

To be honest I really like the build, even though it's very squishy, but I do hope it gets a little bit tankier later, at least to take a few hits.

the market seems dead. no one is selling fractured attack speed wands. only crit fractured wands.

i think the rest of us will have to go for corrupted Piscators wands.

That is because you forgot that attack speed on a wand is a local mod. You need to look for attack speed fracture (local)

you were right :D
i had wrong modifier selected on the trade site

Hi,

I made the switch to lightning coil and more or less everything seems fine, but a lot of the damage is missing and also frenzy charges. Went trough the whole setup and can't seem to figure out why.

I think it has something to do with the "Glorious Vanity", as in the tooltip it's missing "Ritual of Thunder" that the poe build has or maybe just my gear in not optimized well. Can somebody please help and look to see if they can figure it out.

Ok....I just read up how timeless jewels work, would have never figured that one out. Let me see if I can make it work.

Just posting my feedback and findings here, hopefully it's useful to someone

Did a small trial of this last league and fully commited this league.

1. nice build. All pinnacle bosses done without any problems.
First time playing totem build so i died a lot before getting used to the playstyle.
The number of uniques makes it hard to make it tanky, but running circles around the bosses is a winning tactic.

2. The switch to LC is described on page 10 but i found it useful so maybe move it to first post?

3. I found round shield useful as my +1 totem shield due to the stun recovery. Was helpful when titty torpedo ladies pops up barraging you.

4. Use live searches for wand fractures and various items, some people are cluesless sellers, I managed to pick up wand fracture for 10c, enchanted helm for under 1 div

5. dont. forget. about. rolling. flasks

6. I allocated the protection cluster at MoM on the tree during leveling, helped a lot against freeze and shock

332 deaths. :D

Having a blast, killed all bosses except ubers. Now I just need to craft my end-game wand.
