3.6 Synthesis Arc/Freezing Pulse Totems, easy Shaperkills with less than 1-2 Ex investment!

Played an Arc Totem Heiro several leagues ago when I first started playing and have since tried many different builds. This has still been the most consistent build for me being able to clear relatively fast, strong bossing, and few deaths. Gonna give it another go and hopefully push it through all content with the experience I have gained since starting. Thanks for the write-up!
Anyone able to help direct me to a more in-depth leveling process for this build? I've completed two runs A1-10 in the last 2 days, and the build is very slow for me until I get a 4L and/or accomplish Normal lab. I would just like a way to level from A1-3 quicker. Currently getting to Crystal Veins WP in about 1H 30M. Would like to be closer to 1H. I generally play melee builds but would like to give this one a shot.

Thank you for any and all help in advance!

I have been starting out by using the +1 to Cold Gems recipe for Freezing Pulse and then switching to +1 to Lightning Gems once I get Arc.

I've personally used Lighting Tendrils + SP, and Freezing pulse (single projectile) to level up fast. After first ascendancy its even better, cuz you run with 2 totems. You can even take some inc AoE from tree for it, once you hit Ancenstral Bond, just use concEff for bosses. Of course, if you do not-starter character, way better is to go dual Tulborn with Nova+Pulse, and on Kitava.
In your honest opinion what would be faster and better between Arc totem and Arc trapper, never played any of those and with the hiero ascendancy switch im confused more than ever !!!
The totem build is really great, I played it in the Delve League. It was a lot of fun! :)

To make it easier to start with 3.5, I added the level process via the "PoB manage tree function" in PoB step by step (the part with "Since the passive tree on the page isn't updated yet i can't do a lvling tree. You should follow the following big Nodes:")


I found a difference in the trees.

On the left is the "Pastebin Tree", on the right the "Level Process" Tree.

Is the difference intended or is it just a mistake?

Here is the Pastebin link with the individual skill nodes for leveling: https://pastebin.com/2LtbYsL0

I will check POB and change if i made a mistake.
Are you ready with an update for the PoB or are you still waiting for the gems to be revealed?
