[3.17] Wallach's Hierophant Freezing Pulse Totems (No Further Updates)

ALL Curses applied to You, the Player, unless otherwise EXPLICITLY mentioned are level 1! This includes those pesky RED-tier map curses!

@Wallach I would like to ask you what should I priorotize - developing the cluster jewels or gaining crits nodes in the skill tree?

Can I get some help with my build?

Already got most of the expensive uniques (6l soul mantle, atziri's reflection, cowards legacy, pandemonius) at lvl 91 with the rest of my equipment for possible cold damage and capping out res ( with somewhat decent health rolls).

Is it normal to only have around 3.4k hp and abit of ES at this point? I know that MoM with 2.K hp should help mitigate damage however it still seems squishy? I don't know how to optimize since I already have the necessary uniques and my rares are for capping resist.

Yeah it's normal, our DMG uniques are sadly lacking in the life department and we do need to invest quite a bit of our talents in DMG on the skill tree.

You'll probably be able to get up in the 4k-4.5k or something range with good rares in the open slots, and a bit more than 3k mana.

Luckily for us totems are generally safe and even more so the FP totems since Freeze helps mitigate a lot of incoming damage. There are things that will one shot you, but by adapting a bit careful playstyle you will generally be fine!

I just don't understand this. Everyone here praise this build, and I would like to join the club, but simply I cannot.

I am being one-shotted too often, to have a fun with this build. And I am taking only about t11-t13 maps. I don't even wanna try higher tiers anymore. I have around 4k hp, 1k ES and almost 3 K mana with MoM. More resistances then needed and even 4th ascendency. Yet I am being one-shotted too easily. I just can't keep playing with this build.

Do you have any ideas what can be wrong?

Hey does anyone here know how to properly import the skill trees to PoB? I have no issues with any other build tree, is this one simply outdated? I get an error while trying to upload both pastebin links provided.

are you using the community fork version of path of building? the old one does not work.

I just checked your profile, first of all, dont improvise your gem setup. Follow the guide, you need to follow it when you are not fully gear and perhpas later you could do some change on your way.

Secondly, REMOVE YOUR arcane cloak. We dont have any "source" of regen mana instant. We dont play with the mana flask 100% IN, so when you use your arcane cloak, its litterally a suicide IN map. YOu dont have any power for the Mind Over Matter effect .... Really sucks.

Thirdly, dont try to CAP your chaos res, its to hard to do when you have so MUCH unique item and we can play whithout chaos res if you play carefully.

Next one, try to invest on a better gear, for example your wand are not good. +1 of all cold skill, well if you dont have any spell power on them or a good amount of Cast speed is not very good. Try TO have the Temple Affixe with Alva : Cold damage to spell flat + % Cold damage (on affix), some cast speed + crit mult/spell power .... Same thing for your gloves, helmet and belt. For your gloves, take the Temple affixes again, Cold res + % damage up against chilled ennemys (HUGE BOOST).

You dont have to put so much currency but try to focus on the good mod when you look at some change. (PoEDB is your friend).

If you struggle with currency, do some "chaos recipe" to help you to buy these items even if you are lvl 90+, the exalts is cheap.

And last thing, this build is not a ZOOM ZOOM build, y ou need to play with caution. Your damage are your totem so let them clear all the map when you stanb behind .

Cheer

Edit : try to do your 6link or buy it, its 2ex nothing expensive and you gonna have a massive boost. And yeah, currently replace your add cold to your Hypo, chill + freeze effect is a def setup.
Edit 2 : Change your like flask prefix, you dont play low life, you lose effencicy.
Edit 3 : Hummm, nothing more for the moment !

Thanks Hermesse for your tips. Will try to make some changes according to them.

I am using Arcane Clock as a self-cast, it is not connected to the CWDT.
