[On Hold] Glacial Cascade Totems [ALL Content in the Game]

Very good build. Fairly tanky, super duper fast map clear with the right gear/setup, melts ALL bosses. Here is my gear if anyone is interested:

What spec did you go? Hiero or inquisitor?

Hierophant. I think it's vastly superior in almost every way. I have 56 permanent ele penetration and 100% cold dmg which is more than enough to melt bosses as good or maybe slightly worse than inquisitor.
I haven't been able to get hold of a decent %physical damage as cold damage dagger
in the bestiary league, but I got a daggger with spell crit, cold spell damage, and elemental penetration.
In terms of damage, would this dagger be a viable alternative to decent
% physical damage as cold damage when playing as a hierophant?

Penetration is okay, but not as good as phys as extra ele.

The element doesn't NEED to be cold, though obviously that's better. If you go mixed element you just replace cold penetration with hypothermia. Same color, easy swap.

Thanks for your info!
Hey all!

I have been following this build for 3.2 and i love it. I can do all maps pretty confidently, but i really just can't kill elder on a tier 14 map.

I need some help on where to improve.

I got capped all resist, and i feel like my damage is more than good enough, i just die in 1-2 hits on the elder fight, i feel like my hp pool should be bigger than it is, i got 4.5k hp, 7xx ES and 710 unreserved mana for MoM.

I feel like my gear is ok all arround, but obviously not good enough to not die 6 times on elder. I get him to phase 3 pretty easily, but when phase 3 starts i just die over and over.

Can you guys who have done high tier elder and shaper check out my character, "LetsGoBeasts" and give me some advice on how to get more survivability? It would be very much appreciated!

How you die in Phase 3? It is not the worst part of this fight (which is fase one). Do you have any video? It seems to me that you have problems with the fight mechanics and not with your gear. Anyway, you should have more mana pool than 700 if you are going MOM (at least 1500).

That the "problem" of running the normal setup for hatred, the thing is you need around 50% of your HP as mana unreserverd to have a EHPS effects with MoM with hatred well you dont have that effect if you are running with that setup, i changed to essence worm+clear mind with hatred and i LOVE that combo, you have the fucking mana pool complete for running MoM you can try to not run hatred, but only when you have a high damage that you dont need hatred anymore.


The thing, for me there are two ways of play this build right now, you run hatred with the combo of essence worm+clear mind, or do you choose to run hatred normally and have a squishy hiero that gonna have more damage early (you dont need to sacrifice the amulet for ex, with the essence worm setup you need too find a amulet with resis and life as priority), the other option its to no run hatred at all but how i said before you need to have a good damage to not run hatred.


Btw thanks for the guide Thi3n a question about gem links, im using the PoB to know what gems are the best for my gear but dont understand why you put cold penetration, do not work well with PoB? im running right now, in a SM 5L Gc, Physical to Lightning, increased critical strikes, controlled destruction and Area of effect, swiching to Concentrated for bosses the last gem, and cold penetration do not give me the dps near that give me if for ex i run two shockets with long winter jewels and change the Physical to lightning gem for Elemental Focus or Faster Casting, my doubt is why you recommend cold penetration or hypothermia that much, thx.
