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

I'm on 2% chaos resist and it's fine - I did most the content with 20 less than that.

Getting a large cluster jewel with two of the notables you need is helpful, you can replace it with a triple-notable one later on. That's where your passive points can go, though I'd prioritise that over a lot of the tree.

Alright. Thanks again for your advice!

Just bought this base for 2ex and wanted to try and craft on it, I know I should aug life and try to get max life on it but besides that I'm not sure where to go with it.

Guys I just hit something like this with some random harvest:



Do you guys think its worth to correct this item with Harvest (aug life, remove/add speed) or too many mods need correction (I dont use TFT discord)?

Its the first time I got the Non-Damaging Ailments mod on those boots (T2 tho) and I spammed alot of harvest on this.

Also finally found remove attack harvest and removed the life gain, crafted Lifght res on gloves but gonna replace it later with aug light or remove/add light to free craft for mana:



Because of that finally also replaced Diamond Skin annoint with Whispers of doom.

Update, I Aug'd life then add/rem twice to get T3 life (not the worst)



once again not sure where to go next, I really want the culling strike warlord affix but don't know how difficult/costly that will be.

Hi Team,

If anyone has a large cluster 8 passive with blanketed snow and vengeful commander and random third sitting in a stash in STANDARD please let me know. Happy to pay for it. Just none selling in Standard.

Yes I shouldn't play standard.


Cheers guys

I don't think it's worth it, I'm afraid. You can already roll 30% ailments from the crafting bench, while add/remove speed is very rare and probably better spent on a wand or amulet.

There isn't a good way to add culling strike suffix. It's 250 from 3250 suffixes with a warlord's exalt, assuming you've blocked all prefixes. You could reduce that to 250/3000 by crafting 'cannot roll attack mods', but that's a suffix itself so you'd need to remove the lightning resist first. For a small odds chance improvement, I wouldn't bother.

You could simply block prefixes, warlord slam and hope. You can then add/remove influence mod, but those are very rare.

I prefer the increased spell damage warlord prefix, which I think is better than culling strike anyway (as we can easily get that with curses). That's 1500/6125, though again you can improve the odds with 'cannot roll attack mods' suffix craft, getting you to 1500/3125, which is much more worthwhile.

I'm pretty happy with them, I think I want some chaos resist and some es or something now so probably just aug chaos then rem add till I get res.

Nice, gl with the t1 chaos roll. I did much the same with my gloves.

Hi, thanks for the guide.

I've some few question:

1.
Will a "Trigger a socketed spell when you use a skill" be better than a DPS mod on a wand?
- Asking this because I feels that Cold Snap in CWDT seems to be unreliable in a boss fight (where we don't like to tank their hit) and we generally want the 10% increase damage (plus ailment amplify) taken on boss rather than trash mobs.

===== =====

2.
Will a crafted Shaper/Redeemer shield better than second wand?
- I tried to put my shield in Wallach's Ritual POB (grab from poeninja), the shield seems to be giving more dps if you factor in +1 totem. (And grant blocks, and life/mana regeneration from Ritual of Awakening)

Here's my calculation:
Wrath Edge Profane Wand
Unflasked Total DPS : 1,633,866.9
Unflasked Total DPS x 6 totem : 9,803,201.4

Shaper/Redeemer Shield
Unflasked Total DPS : 1,548,960.3
Unflasked Total DPS x 7 totem : 10,842,722.1

That's using my current shield (which the defence can be removed and craft a % cold damage ):


I didn't factor in the frenzy charges in the double wand setup because getting frenzy charges from CWDT/Triggered Cold Snap extremely unreliable during boss fight esp those doesn't spawn adds.


===== =====

On a side note, I'm currently trying to get 100% avoid ailment from boots/gloves and small cluster jewels, not sure if it worth the dps loss from not having redeemer boots (increase effect of ailment), 3 passive point, or a fettle cluster tho.

But it was nice to not worrying on ailment after switching to dps flasks:

(I personally like hybrid flask better than life ones cause it recovers the mana loss from MOM)

Anyway, thanks for the guide again and apologies for the long post.
