[3.17] Wallach's Hierophant Freezing Pulse Totems (No Further Updates)
" 3ex I think is around what I paid for mine. If you can find one cheaper with only +1 to skills you can just use a divine orb or 2 later. |
|
" Can confirm this -- I got a 30% viridi's +1 for 1ex. I'll throw a few divines at it to get it to +2 a bit later -- 50% chance :) |
|
" No regen maps are easy, if you move from life flask to hybrid one. You'll still get topped with panicked + 66% more healing from Ryslatha, and it provides you with enough mana to clear screen or two. Elemental reflect maps are cancer for me, because I'm not yet at a point where my totems oneshot everything, so I still have to recast them on some packs. |

What about Atziri's Reflection version? Is it really inferior to the setup here?

" There was some discussion about that earlier in the thread around league start, and I believe the consensus was that it does have the potential to be better due to reflecting hexes onto enemies rather than just being immune to them, as well as being able to swap your magic ring for a rare, or run another Essence Worm for a 2nd aura and possibly get a double proc from Watcher's Eye. But it requires you to build a really nice helmet to make up for the lost dps from a 2nd weapon. And it's harder in this league to craft something like that.

A shame. I've got Atziri's Reflection from the Reliquary and really wanted to use something as rare as that :(

Shoutout to Wallach, etherel90 and all the other people providing advice in this thread. This is my 3rd character this league (TR Ranger and an Exsanguinate Scion) and so far this feels better than both of them. I just cleared a T14 conqueror at level 75 with no issues. Yeah i had a bunch of ex to dump into it right at the start...but even with OP gear on the other builds...it wasn't as good as this.
Anyway -- I'll be around and trying to improve things as I level. I just want to say thanks! |

Can anyone give me a clue on what to upgrade next?

Is there a post about the recommendation on the best way to color the soul mantle chest? Is it just 6 socketing then using harvest? Or to try and use the jeweler trick with getting all the recipes from delving, etc.?

First things first, I'd replace the shield with another wand. I know you get +1 totems on that shield, but that gives you a total of 7 totems. You can only cast 3 at a time, which means to get the full amount, you need to do 3 casts. You'd be better off just having 6 beefed up totems with a second nice wand. Your first wand also has room for improvement as it only has 5 affixes. You should get a helmet with 30% increased projectile speed for Freezing Pulse. The rest of your gear looks good. You're now at the point where you may want to consider a double curse setup. I'd drop your frost bomb setup and go with a double curse helmet, Hextouch + Frostbite + Elemental Weakness + Hydrosphere. You can achieve the double curse w/ either Awakened Hextouch or change your amulet anoint to Whispers of Doom. Then you probably want to get a curse medium cluster jewel w/ Master of Fear & Wish for Death. You could also get a Bottled Faith flask. Then from there it's stuff like corrupting your body for + skills, etc.

Vorici Calc says most cost efficient recipe is the "At least 1 green socket" and should take you on average 278 chromes, or 94 tries of the recipe. It's probably cheaper to use harvest crafting if you have the right recipes.
