[3.17] Wallach's Hierophant Freezing Pulse Totems (No Further Updates)
" My goodness...I do not know how I blanked on quality.... This has been updated for the primary skills. When I get back in the game I will update steelskin and other pieces. I'm not familiar with the hydrosphere. Placing the cascading frost and then targeting high hp/bosses with assassins isn't that bad for me, but is that part of the guide I missed somewhere or a common alternative I'm just not familiar with. Thanks!!! | |

Similar question to others, about upping my dps. Right now I'm shopping for a watchers eye (you will see a placeholder jewel in one of my medium clusters) but otherwise, I'm wondering why my damage is so far off? Similarly in my head slot I have enlighten (just to level it) while I save up currency for awakened hextouch and will replace it with another curse (elemental weakness probably).
Are my scepters really bad? They were kind of cheap but I thought at the time they were 'high value' cheap since they had +1 gems, cast speed, multi and some added elemental damage. Unless I'm bad at my POB though, my totems are only about 600-700K dps each, and I was hoping they would at least be in the 1M range or above. | |
" It's hard to tell with the scepters. I wouldn't know for sure without simming on PoB but it's possible that having low elemental damage rolls, + low spell damage + no cold % or spell critical, in exchange for +1 cold skills might be less dps. You're going for awakened hextouch right now, an option you could use in the meantime would be to switch your anoint on your amulet to Whispers of Doom for +1 curses. If you don't want to do that, check on PoB if Flash Freeze = more dps than heartseeker. Also you had to take 3 nodes for dex purposes because you don't have dex on your gloves or boots. If you could get dex on one of those, you could remove the 2 points for Precision and the 1 point for Coordination and put those into the 3 points for Arcane Potency instead and that should be a bit of a dps bump. | |
" You can try to farm Quarry (Act 9) for currency.It is safe and you will have enough damage (because the acts). There you can earn about 50с per hour. Just skip "stone circle" event (it takes too much time). p.s. you can reset the location by holding down CTRL + clicking on Quarry icon. It's a boring grind, but it can help you with currency. | |

Is onslaught on kill for 8 seconds from a timeless jewel a worthless passive? If so, is there are list of good passives we want from it?
I currently have: 2x 20% elemental damage 1x 5% increased global accuracy rating 2x 5% movement speed 1x you gain onslaught for 8 secs on kill 1x 20% increased evasion rating 1x 5% chance to blind on hit Last edited by Nosheetsgiven on May 6, 2021, 1:23:27 AM

TY!
I implemented most of these suggestions. Whispers of doom, second hex, watchers eye (best I can afford for now), replaced one of my weaker scepters with a new one. I want to keep my first one since I could craft trigger socketed spells on it for coldsnap/bonechill (as opposed to having this in a CWDT, which means it wont be up realiably on bosses). Re-allocated some points (cant believe I missed Arcane Potency) but still only around 700K damage per totem. | |
" I didn't, I bought mine. " What's your hideout DPS, auras on, nothing else? |

hi everyone, i'm rocking this build and i'm looking for some pointers on what to upgrade next, based on my actual gear (my profile should be public) if someone could take a look at it it would be much appreciated.
(i'm still working on the mantle, burned 400 links with no luck, so i'm back to currency farming for now) (edit: forgot to mention the char is named DeusVultOnRocks, just in case i messed up, nub here) Last edited by hiei27 on May 6, 2021, 1:59:53 AM

" I'm on my phone now so I can't access POB. You should place your magic ring to the right to get the hexproof bonus from Viridi Veil. You should remove the Thread of Hope since it is useless unless you have the "very large ring" mod. You should try invest the cluster jewel since most of the damage/Quality of life are coming from there. Try to follow the cluster jewel build version. Buy the cheaper 5L soul mantle instead. Get glove with "damaged against chilled enemy". Actually all of this are already explained by Wallach in "Gear upgrade progression and recommendation" section. You should read that. |
