[No longer updated] Pizza Sticks: Flameblast Totem Hierophant
" THIS. In this league, for the first time in my life I really lucked with currency, collecting about 15 ex in 2 weeks. Now, richer than i ever was, I expected to be god, slaying eveything that comes in my way!... ... ... A few breaches shattered the last of my expectations. Even with high gear the build is relatively squishy, your totems are extremely vulnerable to ranged attacks but what bugs me most are the mana coststs. Jesus the mana costs i died so often because I end up facing a strong group of enemies after whirling across half the map and having 0 mana. In breeches i deactivate anger and roll clarity instead, but even this is often not enough to keep up totems as they die faster than you can respawn then and then you die. I tried every possible permutation of gems, even max resi totems are evaporated in high breeches. Don't get me wrong, at what this build does it is good, namely savely clearing large packs from a distance. It is really good for HC, if you pick your leaguestones and dont take risks you are essentially immortal. Definitely good for leaguestarters too. But as soon as you have some currency I would highly suggest that you reroll in smth with more "Die by my mere presence" potential. I'd really have liked the guide person to include a disclaimer: DO NOT DO BREACHES UNLESS YOU ARE SOME FREAKISH DEMIGOD OR HIGHLY SUICIDAL! Last edited by Vallenhael#6590 on Mar 13, 2017, 5:37:09 AM

Just dont stand in the middle of it,whirl the fck out and you good.
I played this as starter in breaches,and playing it now,trash equip and hybrid. You either spam pots and totems and pray or get out,spam totems inside the breach and be ready to run away even more if it get risky. Also,did 2 breach lords in breach league (i dont remembers which,i remember i failed the fire one because i play with 5fps in breaches and it freezed that time,then did light and cold without dying),so totally possible doing them if i did. |

So if you go CI and use Eye of Chayula would that make the ring not necessary since you can be stunned now? and the 6L why have increased crit with controlled destruction? doesn't that negate the two?

They dont negate each other
Is like having inc area+conc With controlled you lose some crit%,and you gain it back some with inc crit% |
|

OK thanks, I was interpreting it as reducing it buy 100% as in 100% chance that you won't crit strike. Thanks for clearing that up

" How to farm uber lab with this build? I have failed twice now because I cannot beat the last phase. For the first two phases I just summon totems and shield charge around. But this strategy won't work for the last phase because of traps. Without vaal discipline and leech, there is no way to come back if get hit... And I cannot summon totem and then run away since totems die quite fast. |

" I pretty much put my totems down / orb of storm and then just whirling blade around the boss in a small circle until he dies. Placing my totems / orb as they go down. I have not had much issue just keep moving and avoid his hits. |

I have upgraded a few items since my last update and I have been taking on red maps without issues. I'm sure it will only get better after I get a 6L. I hit 209 cast speed with this setup and it really helps the clear times. I also started to run dual curse and a defensive CWDT since damage isn't an issue with this build.
