Ye, may be viable budget option if its smooth to play. Since helm and enlighten aren't exactly cheap.

I haven't found anything really valuable so far (lvl94), so my whole build is sort of budget. Spent around 15ex and have 4.8k health, 70+ physical reduction and 70+ chance to evade (80+ on both with flasks), almost 100% spell suppression and 9M ignite DPS. 6 totems with 2.5 attacks/second should be enough to hit 20 fuses most of the time, with 100% hit chance (according to PoB).

Last league a headhunter dropped while I was leveling, but no such luck this time :-)

Btw, I see you also use flame surge with the arcanist brand, do you know that it works? Will the burning damage be considered to come from totems (in which case it will work) or from you?

I tested it with only arcanist and flame surge, and then it created burning grounds but it did zero damage.

But i don't use it? And have no idea if it works. I think he just uses it for culling strike.

Culling strike setup (throw on bosses to cull them):
Arcanist Brand, Flame Surge, Lifetap, Culling Strike.

Yeah it works, are you sure you tested it right?
The Burning Ground itself only does Damage if there is an ignite on the enemy to latch on too.

You should see the ignite (w. burning ground) doing +20-25%more DMG on stationary targets.

This thread help me get back into POE since ultimatum. Great content and support. 40 challenges complete. Highly recommend build.

Another thing: I don't see any source of exposure, I use cluster "corrosive elements" but is there a better way?

Cheers, time to look for new clusters jews then :-)

first of all, thanks for the great guide! I have put some effort into crafting and just finished ring and gloves. What should I go for next?

If I'm correct I am sitting at 18 fuses right now. Probably the way to go would be to change my anointment to "Watchtowers" in order to get 6 totems instead of 5. Correct?

Is divergent better than the normal one in this build?
