[2.6] Milky's Righteous Fire Totems [cheap, SC/HC, Shaper, UberAtziri]

Over 1 year since I played this build! Cool to see it's still alive, and to see how it has evolved since the end of 2015 :)

yeah it got better and better over time :)

i play like 5-10 different builds per league and test around on standard if something comes in my mind, but i always come back to rf totems.

So solid for any content, can clear maps with a good speed and kill any boss in the game on a pretty low budget :)

Havent found a better leaguestarter for me and i tested pizzatotems, srs, warchiefs and so on as leaguestarter

can we make use of shavs? I have one Back after a year, since chieftain launched.

not really.

you could try some low life guardian route, but the benefit is not great.

blasphemy aoe is shit now, not worth it on a totemchar.

Offensive auras are nonexistant so only discipline, puritys, determination, vitality and grace and arctic armour are options.

stacking some of those can boost the defence a lot but that also means more investment in auranodes and less damage overall.


I would rather go for pure life, CI or life + es over low life for this build.

i will definetly participate in the 3.0 beta and inform you guys how the build performs there and spam posts about things that change.

the guide will stay the same until the final 3.0 hit the game later.

It will be my first char in the beta and i am looking forward to test some potential changes with the skilltree, support gems etc

added Redblade Band to the guide. Got life, fire damage and stuff for golem. Renders your golem almost unkillable (which make the tedious resummoning less tedious) and the taunt on hit is a whooping 10% less damage to you. Works best with flamegolem or stonegolem (which already taunts).

overlooked it a long time, but cadibro offered it to me.

Hey, you suggest soul mantle isn't good for hardcore, what do you reckon is another good unique option???

Belly of the Beast is the safest option for HC.

Soulmantle alone can work well in hc, too. But adding 2x kikazaru on top can be a bit dangerous. I would rather use rare rings instead and use ~2 curse removal flasks instead.
The damage of the mantle (50% totemlife) and utility (extra totem > more aoe coverage) as well as the cheap links is just insane.

with my current tree https://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAABAEDAAN1A9YEswagDjwQzBJpFCAUcRYLFm8XHBeMGjgc3B0UHxgkqiW8Jy8o-iu2LKc1kjbpOtg64TwFPC09_EWdTeNQR1H7U1JWSFhjWOVZ81orXwRfP2SEZlRmnmebaFhoZWjybqpxeXIPcql2rHhpe7OCB4Kbg1-DzIV7idiMRozPjxqPRpBVkSuRzpitmjua4J2un9-iAKZXpwisqq4-tfK3PriTuX677b1gwxPE9sYExq7G2M0Wz2fPfteW2CTYvdl820_fv-DD4XPjauRR6hjr7uw47w7vfPAf8kHyRfPd9kj2rvcy-JP46_m9-tL-Cv6P?accountName=Milkyslice&characterName=MilkyRFT
and gear i got 6350 life on sc. Swapping out totemic zeal for bloodless adds 23% life on top and switching the kikazarus for rare rings (2x ~63 life) already gives me 7173 life.

Lioneyes remorse instead of my tukohamas and better life rolls on gear (got just 47 on boots), better rings with some strength maybe can get you way above 7500 life.

slap a belly on top and its abover 8k life, but again, soulmantle is just easier to use with the ghetto 6 link on a 5 link (the chest doesnt need to be a 6l at all, there is no 6th dmg support for soulmantle), chroming is easy and the utility great.

I will most likely open another Buildguide Thread.

My problem with this one is: i don´t have enough space because i missed to open several posts on the mainpage.

The post has a limit of 50k letters which i reached long ago and it forces me to remove stuff if i add something new.

I also would like to go more into detail with other defensive options (ci, hybrid, low life) or classes (occultist, hierophant etc), but i cannot do it here.

The same for guidance on tough bosses like shaper, uber atziri and guardians.

Once i have everything setup i will link this guide to the other one on the mainpage.

Maybe its a good idea to wait for 3.0 to make a new build thread. If you need some help, here I am. We can even communicate in german ;)
It's my favorite build and I'm really thankful for your amazing guide :)
