[3.2] Spark Totem Hierophant Idea
So before ascendancy changes were shown for 3.2 I wanted to try a spark totem hierophant after watching a video of max spell totems with gmp/lmp (it was not effective, but the concept got me thinking). So with a Soul Mantle, Ancestral Bond Keystone, and the Hierophant Ascendancy, I can have 5 spell totems firing 6 sparks per cast at 124k POB DPS each, seems good. It also seems pretty league starter friendly and all sorts of fun.
The build focuses on using Soul Mantle to have a 7-link spark totem. Crit strike chance is greatly increased by running 2 Shimmeron Wands while a pair of Voidwalkers allow my sparks to pierce with no issue. Add in a Winds of Change for proj speed and Choir of the Storms for more crit and it just seems like the perfect storm. Would certainly love some input because I'm sure my tree is not optimized. I've also created some generic Rares but would certainly try to get more life in the build through those items. Path Of Building:

The build certainly looks good from a damage perspective, but it is sacrificing a lot elsewhere.
Spark Totems scale doubly with Skill Effect Duration. There are two nodes on the outside of the scion area, near the life wheel, that are excellent pickups - it increases the totem duration, and increases the Spark duration. Spark can only hit a target once per second, so more duration + pierce = more total hits. Also I'm not really sure where the defenses are. I know it's a totem build, so there's some survivability by having a couple totems around, but you're going to eat a curse (Soul Mantle) every time your totem dies, and you'll still get focused plenty of times. You're way over-invested on crit, so I'd drop crit in favor of pushing the life up to 180%+. Here's an alternative POB link with 172% life and an average hit of 50k, instead of 146% life and an average hit of 55k. I still think the defenses are on the low side, though. https://pastebin.com/TWEP41er Edit -- I wanted to mention that Soul Mantle + Self-Flagellation + Kikazaru has some interesting synergy, but it's more of a budget option.

I dont think Voidwalkers work, cause your totems do the killing and not you. You would need to manually cast phase run (or cwdt it or something).

nice idea but i think Voltaxic Rift is better for the dmg

I remember raizqt's spark totem using voltaxtic rift. Able to clear (some) maps like no tomorrow. But GGG nerfed the distance spark can travel, so.....
