[3.17] Wallach's Hierophant Freezing Pulse Totems (No Further Updates)
|
Hey all.
I used this as my final build of the league. It's so damn fluid that I'll probably league start with it. I just hit 95 and am at a bit of a wall here. I haven't been able to kill Maven yet (i know my chaos res sucks and I hate the fight) with the toon. I think my DPS looks good but what's the next step here? HO DPS is 250k i think. Obviously large cluster but I'm only 95 ATM.... Feeling a little squishy. https://pastebin.com/pWwAeqXN |

What is the best way to get the 3 green, 2 blue and one red on the 6 link soul mantle? Just spam chromes or do the crafting bench 2 green thing for 25 chromes a pop? I'm having trouble getting the colors right.

Soul mantle int req is 134, and you want 1R 3G 2B. Cheapest is 1G at four chromes a pop, roughly 1% chance. Chromes are cheap, you may prefer 2G as fishing for 5% chance is less miserable than fishing for 1% chance. Both options are cheaper than slamming chromes, and far faster. |

Guys this is a complicated ask so sorry in advance.
I am min/maxing this build in standard on char Daryl_Ritual. Would it be better for me to go for the Viridi's veil path or just stay as i am? That corrupted chest just about cleaned me out but will get some more exalts once current league is finished if you think it is worth swapping. I know i will loose Zealotry making my watcher's eye useless. The Pandemonius ammy is also pretty good but i do like the thought of using a +1 to cold ammy. Currently happy with the build but if you think it would be a good upgrade then i will go the Viridi's veil route. Thanks. |

" SSFHC sounds like a pretty tough route for this build, but you do have the core of it out of the way already it seems. A Watcher's Eye is definitely not one of those type of items you'd need just for hitting 100 in maps or whatever. When Mayhem happened I won my Demigod's in the regular Kikazaru setup. You do want a medium cluster jewel. Cold Conduction is too powerful to ignore, bug or not. Especially with how easy it is to roll relative to a lot of important clusters on other builds. Remember that Path of Building never took this bug into account, so I don't know anyone who was even aware it was a thing until it was fixed. Medium -> Small is still a good plan if you have access to the Non-Damaging Ailments medium. All that said, I've never tried to sell this build for HC, and I think you could still easily splat to something like a badly positioned Legion spear chucker or other similar situations unless you add a lot of physical mitigation. I don't die all that often, but you don't have a lot of room to play with in HC and this is not the kind of build super resilient to bad / unexpected situations. |

Hi together.
As I am a quite casual player (~0,5-1h per day max) it took me a while to get higher level character in league. In addition it is actually the first league I play after a longer break (blight was last) BUT Very nice Build! Currently lvl 94, farming T16 maps and Ultimatum up to T11/12. 90k hideout dps. But lacking on Bossfights (Minotaur, Hydra) even before thinking about testing Sirus. Actually it's hard for me to find useful upgrades, as I play on Xbox. the trade market is horrible. (no corrupted 6L Soul Mantle, no enchant Viridis, etc) So I would really appreciate to get some hints on my next steps of progress. I'm thinking about awakened gems (added cold dmg first, as I only got 20/0 normal so far). The 21/20 FP is on the way in the second slot). Rerolling the magic ring for higher life. Get some quality on it too. I'm on 3.8k Life, 2.3k Mana so far. I need to get the bosses down faster I guess. thanks in advance Greetings from Germany!

I did a lot of builds this league, the only one that really stuck was Freezing Pulse totems all the way to endgame. The last time I played totems was arc totems back in delve league, and that was pretty fun, had something close to the experience I got here, but this ended up being the strongest endgame build for me. I didn't push for 100 but with some different investments, I absolutely could have.
I had generally the same setup as recommended: two stacked spell dmg wands, soul mantle with no special corruptions or anything, and started off farming the guardians with no awakened gems or crazy good gloves/gear right away. I started off with the basic kikazaru setup to kill all earlier content before maven/uber elder then once I got awakened cold pen, controlled dest, added cold and a 21/23 freezing pulse on the Veil setup, I tackled endgame/finished to 36 challenges. ALL Deathless Content Done: - A8 Sirus - Mastermind (83) - Trialmaster/T16 Ultimatums - Juiced T16 Deliriums/Simulacrum - Heart of the Grove - Uber Elder/Uber Atziri - Shaper - All invitations - Kurgal in a 2-man party around depth 283 - Cortex .. Pretty much everything lol, I'll likely be league starting this and investing in it to be a boss kill service hoster then take the currency I make and move on to look at another build, but this was a pleasant return to totems and I'd recommend it for everything, you can use pretty much dirt cheap gear and progress quite well, although I started with soul mantle 6L from the get-go, I'm sure the tabula setup is decent to start with. |

Hi, I started this build as test as i want to try this as league starter in 3.15 because the videos looked impressive.
Very smooth leveling! But arriving in maps, single target dps is horrible for me (at map bosses and even rares). My setup: Alltough i have a 6L Soul Mantle, i wanted to test the build under "league start" conditions. I started in white maps with a 4L Soul Mantle and some basic rare gear, all in all about 2 Ex invested. After i have done some magic T1 maps (single target dps is real), i put the 5L on and jumped to t9 maps. And i really dont get it how i could boost the boss dps. Mapping/Clearing is totally fine and totally fun. Ok i have to admit: jumping to t9 maps with lvl 69 is a bit "brave", but on leaguestart at day 3-4 i would have much worse gear and at this time i'm afraid to do t9 map bosses cause they literally take MINUTES. As i'm not familiar with totem builds, i guess there is something obviously wrong i can not see. What i see in the PoB, i'm using the same Gem Setups and the gear should be ok for yellow maps. How do you handle the boss dps at league start when progressing through yellow maps? I'm glad for any advice! Regards ps: my profile is public, Char "GiftiFreezeTotemtry". I can also provide my PoB if requested. TY! pps: Oh and another thought: How the hell is it possible to get an off coloured 4-5L Soul Mantle at league start? Ok i used the jeweller orb crafting bench method to get 1B 3G (took about 200 jewellers which is easy to farm at start). But the "jewller touch" prophecy for a 5L would shuffle the first 4 sockets/colours, right? Last edited by Bisrob#7105 on Jun 27, 2021, 12:27:34 PM

" I can't do a full look at this right now (the heat is terrible here in the PNW so I'm staying out of my office until evening) but assuming you haven't made a mistake like forgetting to unallocate Avatar of Fire when swapping over, I suspect the issue is your gem levels. If you tried to skip a bunch of progression you would have been forced to do at league start, your gem levels will be unnaturally behind, which will result in a huge DPS gap (which can easily be like a 30-50 percent damage loss). This build won't have great single target DPS at league start in comparison to some builds, but you shouldn't even really feel it like that until you get to like T13-14 when progressing normally. Maybe someone else not dealing with this punishing heat wave can actually scope it out in PoB and see if anything else is amiss. As for the colors, usually you can just 1G it at the bench or using the Harvest color recipes. As soon as you hit maps you should be looking through your Harvest plots and storing some of those color recipes for later since there likely won't be anything else competing for Harvest craft storage at that point. You can also just have trade searches up to keep an eye out on folks that happen to find off colors in the first place, or push come to shove just run something like 3B2G for a while with like Increased Critical Strikes until you can sort it out. |
