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

The build can do anything, though of course there are builds that work better in specific areas. We can kill any boss, but many builds can kill bosses more easily than we can. The strength of this build is that we can do all the content, while e.g. boss killers generally can't.

i changed the skill from freezing pulse to ice nova and believe it or not, i got higher damage about 200k extra, not sure if it will out perform pulse totems but the aoe effect plus multiple totems should be safer to clear with on ultimatum.

cast rate is also doubled with ice nova!

The issue you ran into here is that Ice Nova isn't actually socketed into anything into Path of Building, so it doesn't assume this link is in the Soul Mantle. That's why it is letting you link Spell Echo (this does not support totem skills), as you're not actually linked to Spell Totem Support. It's basically a self-cast 6L as it is set up in this pastebin. If you change the "Socketed In" to Body Armour just above the Ice Nova links, you'll see what I mean.
Should i get neck frst or 6 linked chest? already have head and belt ...thx for answer
May as well get the 6 link first as it's cheaper.

You'd have to change the build a bit as it's based around not just buffing totems, but also buffing projectiles. And Ice Nova doesn't do projectile damage.

that's true
Hey NoImagination. Thanks for being so active in this thread. Would you mind checking me out and suggesting next obvious upgrade? I have a few Ex to spend. I was thinking a Medium Cluster, but when I drop the one Wall recommends into PoB I actually lose dps due to the talents I give up. I made sure to enable Shocked in PoB.

Current at 96k tooltip in hideout.

Maybe a different upgrade makes sense next?

Thanks for any guidance.

21 freezing pulse, attribute quality on belt, quality on amulet for whatever you need most.

I think of cluster jewels more as a package - it should be that two mediums and a large are more efficient than the same number of your least effective tree nodes when you're in the 90s. But in any case, you should get a Watcher's Eye, one mod ones (like mine) are pretty cheap.

Your weapons should be quite easy to improve. Try this to get a weighted search in trade: https://github.com/VolatilePulse/PoB-Item-Tester

Then you'll probably want to get into awakened gems.

We are using Frostbite and Sniper's Mark without having (or at least I can't see) any source of additional curse. How does it work?
