[3.25] MoM Crit Power Siphon Totem Hierophant

Awesome guide. Having a blast with it.

What are your thoughts on crucible trees for the wand/shield? something we want to get? I was thinking attack speed, lightning damage? Saw an item with barrage crit change etc etc? But trees are local right?

Thanks for the reply!

For that I need to rely on you guys. My play time is kind of limited and it takes me a bit longer to do stuff. But I will get there over time.

That being said. We have so much damage that for mapping I suggest switching Wrath to Purity of Elements. Gives us ailment immunity for free and to be honest our current damage is overkill. For bossing we can use Wrath of course.

Regarding Crucible trees: On wands I saw sth like lightning damage, crit chance, double damage. Mana of course can be big.
On shields I have sth like shock effect.

Basically we look for everything that increases our overall power.
I think there might even be "notables" on trees which could be of insane value.

If you found sth amazing just share it here. Atm I have not even a clue on how to glue Crucible trees together.

p.s. trees are local yes unless it is stated for global or we get any really global stat or even a notable.

Aight okay, will keep you posted if I find something good. Seen a lot of huge mana points which can be good, gonna try to combine some trees together on a fractured wand and craft from there

I've played totem builds before (e.g. Freezing Pulse), that have been fairly straightforward for me to understand the mechanics of. However, I'm struggling to get in to a "groove" with this build. Would it be possible to give a quick overview of the mechanics and a maybe a skill rotation (or priority) of things like when to use berserk etc? Apologies if this might seem fairly straightforward for others here, but I'm a filthy casual exile.

Arcane Cloak is on left mouse. At all times I press left mouse while in a map. Sometimes tapping right mouse or using some action keybinds.

First. This is not a melee build. If you run face first into mobs that is not the way. While mapping you tap KB totem while moving and will sort of spawn a line of totems while doing that. They normally instantly zapp everything. If not just cast some more and maybe move around the mobs in a circle or kite them in a line while putting down totems. Ballista totems are very fast to spawn.

Switch to PS totems for single target enemies.

Sigil of Power can be used for anything stationary. Essence, bosses, Ritual etc. Anything where you can charge it.

I do not press untility flasks at all. The mana flask I do press in case I get to low.

I use the Blessing and Bloodrage every 10 seconds or so.

While mapping stuff dies so fast that I hard get to using Frenzy. Sometimes even bosses dies before I have the chance to use it. But in case there is something more tanky stack 3 Frenzy and apply your mark/curse.

Getting there, feels smoother now and dying happens more rarely.
Now i wana push full DPS for the big bosses :)



U mentioned the frenzy setup, I guess I will give it a shot.
Other than that - where can i squeeze out dps?

And question aside from that:
I played around with POB a while. Seems like the choice of wands doesnt significantly change the DPS. Does it really have such a little impact?

Do we need a source of pierce for power siphon to take advantage of vengeant cascade ?

Check the level 100 Vengeant Cascade PoB part in the guide. It lists all alternative quality gems you need for the switch and explains a bit more.

Any idea on endgame chest? I'd love more survivability. I know you have the lightning coil one, is that build just gg in terms of survivability?

Lightning Coil alone is good too. It converts a lot of phys to elemental and we have way more elemental resistances than phys resistance.
