[3.26] MoM Crit Power Siphon Totem Hierophant

I played this build in 3.25 but the normal PS and not PS archmage with this pob(dont have my character anymore):

Looking in pob this one still works and it gets around 26m dmg.
I'm curious as to why the current versions all focus on stacking the archmage PS instead normal PS with 5 power charges(50% more Critical Strike Chance,+100% to Critical Strike Multiplier)?
The difference is only in the helmet and the gem switch to PSotA.

PSotA grants flat lightning damage the same as Mind of the Council.

Here is your build with 3.26 tree: https://pobb.in/pWms8YqA340P

Here is the 3.26 version with helmet and gem swap: https://pobb.in/bqXX9B4FQ3NT

Basically it comes down to this. Using Wilma free's points. Power Siphon of the Archmage has the lightning tag. Means we can grab the High Voltage cluster for amazing value to get the crit back.

Not sure how I missed that.

The Piscator's Vigil Unique Wand is now found on the Kinetic Wand base type (previously Imbued Wand).

lmao. it's funny because it was one of the first things I noted, piscator lost it's implicit and we know nothing about new bases so it lost some of its damage.

I see, my setup with the old one was supposed to be interchangeable with PS, KB or KBoC, having the new KR transfigured gem that I want to try maybe my old setup is better for starters and I just change at the end to PSotA if I think the other's aren't as good.

Ty for the explanation.
Made a testrun to act 3 library.

Went with Lightning Tendrils + Orb of Storms

Holy Flame Totem > Into Stormburst spell totem at 12.

Was one of the easiest runs I have had so far.

I wanted to give an update on Keepers league.

Started as described with Storm Burst totem, Lightning Tendrils and Orb of Storms.
Was smooth sailing until 59.

Breaches gave so much currency that I could buy Piscator, Wilma, Scales of Justice and Power Siphon of the Archmage before 59. I switched before doing the second lab.

We need very good clear this league so opted for Fury Valve again which is no malus for us. Instead of Pierce we use Chain now. I am currently testing the wall but it has a super long cooldown and totems eat the wall very quickly.

To afford it I did Demolition, Engineering and Lockpicking contracts in Heist.

Some notes on supports I am using atm:

Arcanist Brand - Ice Golem - Assassins Mark
Frenzy - Cast on Crit - Tornado - Force Wall
Shield Charge - Attack Speed - Flame Dash
Arcane Cloak - Duration - Arcane Surge - Automation
Purity of Elements - Eternal Blessing

On top. I am probably not going to use Dance of the Offered again this league. I crafted a Sleepless Sentries cluster.

I am in early maps and it super strong. The clear is just nuts.
How are you solving life recovery without Dance of the Offered?
