3.0 Dark Pact Poison Totems
|
NO LONGER SUPPORTED
UPDATES&CHANGELOG
>Added T14 Springs video to GAMEPLAY section!
LEVELING
>I leveled with essence drain + contaigon combo till i was able to use the totems at about ~53. >Getting a jewel slot and hidden potential unique jewel early on is extremely usefull! I used all magic items (+1 chaos gem wands) and a goldrim which carried me a long way. >Prepare your gems, buy high quality, low level gems (Q18-20 Lvl.1 gems are like 1-2 chaos) and lvl them along the way.
GEAR
required
>Soul Mantle the item the build is build around, allow us to get an additional totem but curses us every time a totem dies or is replaced. Also provides an additinal gem link since it has build in Spell totem support. >Kikazaru two of them plus the guardian ascendancy makes us immune to curses countering the downside from soul mantle. >Consuming Dark provides 60% chance to posion with chaos damage, paired with the passives we got in the passive tree we hit 100% chance to poison! >Self-Flagellation Since we are almost always cursed this is a solid damage boost!
recommended
>The Embalmer If you can get your resistances capped this is a good choice solid life and posion duration to boost our damage. >Lioneye's Remorse I took it for the huge amount of life it provides, you can also use a rare shield if you need resistances, also nice to have cast speed, mana, mana reg on a rare shield.

How is this build for scion it isnt connected to any of the scion starting point
| |
" Path of the Templar allows you to start at the templar location so you dont need to conect to the scion.  | |
|
Interesting, I came up with similar idea for this season. Except i am building around direct damage and crit
| |
|
Why Kikazaru instead of Thiefs Torment?
| |
" "Can't use other Rings" so i wont get 100% reduced curse effect | |

I have a couple of questions after a short review of the build.
I absolutely hate totem builds. I didn't like the Berserker flavor Dark Pact builds. When I started reading the mechanics of this build with Self-Flagellation I was sold. It's tough leveling, but I went out of the Scion area near the life wheel picking up Totemic Zeal and only ended up refunding 5 points. It doesn't feel like your average templar/chieftain totem builds with staying busy with Arc and Wither. The power of this build, even early on is astounding. I consider myself a relatively new player, picking it up half way through Essence League almost a year ago. This is by far the most brilliant build I've played. I'm 75 with an envy essence amulet so I'm pretty strapped for resists. I had a 40% Dark Pact Devoto's I got cheap for the berserker build, so I'm going to have to pack some resists in on jewels in order to equip my Embalmer's Gloves. I'm glad I recognized the gameplay would be different than other totem builds and gave this a chance, it's the most fun I've ever had. My question. Picking up the 2 attack and cast speed nodes in Totemic Mastery gives me slightly more dps than the life. I know Dark Pact is based on total life and with Soul Mantle it's a lot, so is it possibly worth getting totem life on jewels? Second, because of my playstyle and the pantheon Soul of Tukohama I'm considering switching from Shield charge, to Lightning Warp, Lesser Duration, Faster Casting. I know lightning warp doesn't break Arctic Armor's stationary requirement, but I was wondering if anyone knew about it breaking the Tore bonus of Tukohama. Thanks for this awesome build. |

" - i didnt pick the nodes for the life i wanted to cap the res of the totems which helped alot on guardians the attack/cast speed nodes were planned for higher lvls though. - not sure about totem life on jewels would need to test in PoB and compare prices tbh. - dont think the pantheon bonus is worth giving up fortify you gain by using shield charge, regardless i breaks or breaks not with LW. |
