[3.8] LiftingNerdBro's Tri/Quad Frostbolt Totems Hierophant - Strong League Starter!

I did some searching but didn't see an answer. Apologies if this was answered elsewhere. I'm still a bit of a PoE noob, played in harbinger league and made it to maps but didn't progress much farther than that. This season, killing shaper is my end goal. I know this build is not good at killing bosses quickly, but is it possible to kill shaper with it, or should I plan on using this to farm the currency for a second character that will do the job? I plan on playing this as my starter either way, but I just want to have realistic expectations with it.

Thanks for the guide!

I wouldn't recommend trying to kill Shaper with this build.

It's possible, but it will be extremely challenging for someone who is not experienced with the guardians or Shaper fight. It would be much easier to take a strong boss-killing build and make it after you have farmed up the currency for it.
Am I missing something or do we not have enough INT near the Trial jewels to activate their 2nd and 3rd ablities?
I notice you have a 5 socket link armor but only list 4 defens spells, what should a 5 socket or 6 socket have skill wise in it for the body armor?
Also are there any unique boots, rings, belt recommendations or should we go for rares?

Ofc we do, just cast frostbolt w/o and with jewel. More projectiles = enough.

Thats the point. Either you clear maps or do bosses, that was always and will be always the same lul.

Should I get Ancestral Bond on level 30?

IIRC you need to wait to get Ancestral Bond until you get your first Frozen Trail. That unique Threshold jewel is a quest reward in Act 5 for the quest Death to Purity. You have a small amount of Threshold unique jewels that you can choose from and Frozen Trail is one of them. What I did to get two of them was to take another class and a test build of my own to do that quest. Then hand that one Frozen Trail to the templar and get the second one with the templar.
