Templar - [3.23 Work in Progress] f1rstborn's Shockwave Totem Inquisitor | Sanctum God farmer.

" BlueeGreg wrote: Some random thoughts and tips: You don't need Grand Spectrum jewels, you don't even need a 2nd Cluster Jewel setup. Just focus on what is affordable and what is strong. The right chest piece (Dialla or Skin of the Lords), Empower 3, 20/20 Divergent, will get you started. 21/20 Divergent Shockwave Totem is way too expensive for what it offers. The Cast Speed enchant is also overpriced for what it offers. 40% Inc Damage is totally fine and way cheaper; can also use the 24% AOE. I didn't try this, but Hrimsorrow gloves with Spell Crit corrupt costs 1div and can solve a lot of problems. Cold Conversion can be solved in many ways. 60% gloves that also have good stats, are overpriced for what they offer. Settle for the 40% conversion mastery and the 20% implicit, way cheaper that way. Reaching Crit Cap is relatively easy, assuming the enemy has Assassin's Mark on them. Don't overpay for a +Crit Chance Hatred Watcher's Eye. This build has tons of damage, and quickly reaches gem level diminishing returns @ Level 30. Remember this when you're trying to break the bank for even more gem levels. People vastly underrate life and defense. Get Life on all gear pieces, spend passive points on Life. You'll die less and probably feel better about things. Try to get Chaos Res to at least > 0. Make sure you get 100% Elemental Ailment Avoidance, with the Stormshroud + boot implicit method mentioned in the guide, or by crafting Avoidance implicit on your Shield and also using the Avoidance implicit on your boots (which still have the Avoidance explicit). If you're mapping, you really want to use Awakened AOE once your damage is good enough. It'll feel so much better. If your DPS is low or you're running specific content like Sanctum, then certainly keep using Conc Effect instead. This build doesn't get a ton of power from rare jewels and the passive tree, most of the power comes from gem levels, gear, and OP interaction between Heatshiver and Hatred. Even Cluster Jewels are relatively weak compared to other builds, though don't overlook the importance of 2 Medium Totem clusters. Oh and an accurate Path of Building setup for yourself is crucial!! Alot of good info here...answered some of the other questions I had...In regards to body armour, rightnow playing with a Dialla's...im assuming better choice for alittle more defense is to switch to lords?...im at decent damage but alittle too squishy for my liking...dang projectiles are a pita...lol.. Edit...using Awake AOE seems alittle smoother..less deaths form the Eater Of Worlds mobs that spawn out of nowhwere and shoot the projectiles...lol Last edited by xmasbby78 on Sep 10, 2023, 11:43:41 AM	Posted by xmasbby78 on Sep 10, 2023, 10:54:10 AM Quote this Post
Yes firing squad style projectiles, like from the Blue influence mobs, are a reliable source of death. Honorable mention goes out to Skeleton Mages, who are incredibly overtuned and will just shotgun your face off if you move/dash into them at the wrong time. To die less, try to not Flame Dash blindly forward, especially where your totems don't have coverage yet. Dashing like that can cause enemy mobs to projectile shotgun you before you even notice. As for the Blue influence mobs, they really should be dying before they get their attacks off. Proper coverage with your totems will do this, and make sure the pack dies when they spawn, before you run ahead. You can get yourself killed by forgetting about a Blue pack, running or dashing back and then they blast you. Cramped map layouts and chokepoints are also likely to get you killed, so try to farm maps that are reasonably open.	Posted by BlueeGreg on Sep 10, 2023, 10:29:07 PM Quote this Post

What's the best kind of tattoos to spam, 5% herald buffs or 1% aura effect?	Posted by ZombiesSlayer on Sep 11, 2023, 2:22:15 AM Quote this Post
Have you tried new sacrifice support gem? I don't think there is any word said it can't be used with totem. If used with shockwave totem, will it use player life or totem life?	Posted by schnster on Sep 12, 2023, 8:12:16 AM Quote this Post
If i have 30% ashes and divergent SWT, i dont need the cold convert gloves right? if true what would you have for gloves?	Posted by Akenoth on Sep 12, 2023, 11:31:35 AM Quote this Post
So, getting 2 clusters + 3 grand spectrums + watcher's eye + stormshroud + forbidden flame/flesh combo + unnatural instinct is somewhat difficult. What is the highest dps way to do this? go down the right side and slam aura effect on the intnodes along the way?	Posted by Kibbelköbbel on Sep 12, 2023, 6:48:52 PM Quote this Post

I have not, however, I've seen some hierophant versions utilizing mageblood. They are zHP but 2B DPS is possible in that arena.	Posted by f1rstborn on Sep 13, 2023, 11:19:21 PM Quote this Post

If tattoos go core, Dragonfang will always win. The reduced attribute requirements are the unsung hero allowing us to run more herald effect. If tattoos do not go core, as a final upgrade, Ashes will beat out dragonfang's. This is only true after you have picked up all of your alt quality gems.
