(Retired Thread) Wallach's Hierophant Freezing Pulse Totems

Congrats ! :-)

I'm still playing this build, it's just incredibly pleasant. Getting better at movement and not getting hit also, I'm feeling quite safe even on legion fights on T15+ maps.

Decided that this would be my final build for the league so I'm dumping all of my currency into it. Level 78 and I've got most items now, just did my first multi mod weapon and it turned out pretty decent I think. Any other suggestions other than just leveling up to get the damage nodes on the tree? Thanks for a fun build!!

Getting crit multi and elemental damage on an elder ring? And plus 2 on projectiles on the chest? Like me? 120 crit on boots is very important!
Easy to buy.

This guy is doing 3.1M per totem (number from poe ninja dps column).

How is it possible? His build is a bit different from this.
Could someone analyze how his dps is so high?

Did not analyse in detail, but from what I can quickly see:
- His gear has various sick affixes (Crit multi here and there, increased damage, non-chaos as chaos...)
- Using 2 auras, Zealotry and Hatred, that must be a big DPS boost.
- His uniques are very much optimized (+2 lvl chest must be a big increase)
- He is not using MoM at all, and thus has taken the ascendency node which boosts Arcane Surge

-> Build must be pretty squishy as he has no particularly good life and no additional damage mitigation. Considering Wallach's build already destroys everything almost instantly, I don't see a huge upside of doing that much damage.

No, not at all. Damage is cool, but dying not. Good builds rely on mixture of offense and defense. This is, why I think about grabbing more life/mana instead of damage nodes.

And yes a +2 chest is insane, but the price is too. Almost 40 ex.

His biggest issue is he cant freeze, so he dies very often. Glasscanon Bs.

Was thinking about getting 2nd Essence Worm for Zealotry..

Will gain around 170k shaper dps per totem, but will lose around 300hp.

What do u guys think, is it worth it?

Essence Wurms are cheap. Might as well try it and 300HP isn't enough to lose any sleep over.

No its not, I got 940K now. So 30 k less than wallach at lvl 100. I see no reason for hyping dps. Have a solid crit multi/damage/add ele damage to spell ring btw. this is way smarter than raw dps. Not to mention the need of dex.
