Molten Blast/Sunder Ancestral Warrior Totems + Resonating Shield Life Stacking Gemling
|
Ello everyone Okayeg
I've had about 10 Molten Strike characters in PoE 1, and this is my Molten Balls Totem build. That said, you'll only be using the Molten Balls for clear. And even when it comes to clear, as of now, - Sunder is kinda bugged, and it'll perform overall a bit better than the balls (waves can go thru walls and terrain). But when Sunder will be fixed, Molten Balls will be have undeniably better clear. Resonating shield is only a support skill that you will be using in your defensive stance, and you'll spent 90% of time using exactly this stance, since there is no reason to walk around in your totem stance all the time. Just keep in mind that this is a mid budget build. It'll work on the lower budgets, but due to high mana/life costs, it'll be rather annoying to manage them. But since for most of the other totem builds it is always annoying to manage their mana costs, yes, you can play this build on a budget, it won't be any different from the other totem builds where your health cosplaying as a sorting algorithm 24/7. Still no PoB, so, have Maxroll planner instead: https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/kdc4s02i . Gems

Yes, you'll be using three totems. All of them will go into the weapon swap 1. AOE Totem - Molten Blast, Martial Tempo, Scattershot, Fire Infusion, Inspiration Single Target Totem - Sunder, Concentrated Effect, Heft, Primal Armament, Elemental Focus Break Totem - Armour Breaker, Overabundance, Font of Blood, Font of Rage, Persistence Overwhelming Presence - Precision, Herbalism This aura goes into both weapon swaps just so you could have AC bonus in your Totem Setup, and so you could use your Life Flask more freely. All of the skills below will go into the Weapon Swap 2 Resonating Shield - Demolisher, Rage, Maim, Mobility Solar Orb - Expanse, Strip Away, Fire Exposure, Arcane Tempo Shield Charge - Stomping Ground, Unbreakable Blasphemy - Flammability, Ritualistic Curse, Heightened Curse, Magnified Effect Blink - Ingenuity, Wind Wave (idk if it even works?), Clarity, Vitality Skeletons - Last Gasp, Elemental Army, Meat Shield.

No PoB yet, so you'll be forced to check the Maxroll planner.
For the helmet, you'll need a Rare helmet with the life regen corruption. But you can use the Black Sun Crest with the same corruption, or some other unique helmet of your choice. For the Morior, you'll need a Life/Attributes Morior. For the gloves, just use the best rare gloves you can afford. It's difficult to find them, let alone buy them. For the boots, just use the generic rare boots, nothing special. For the rings, you'll need a breach ring with mana and mana regen on it, so you could cata it and get a lot of mana thingies. Other stats are also rather important, and fire damage/accuracy are also needed in some capacity, but probably on your other ring. STR is mandatory. Amulet. STR and +3 are mandatory, everything else is up to your budget. Spirit is useless for you. Belt = Ingenuity. You can use a rare one for a while, but Ingenuity will always be better. For the weapons, go for the double 2h mace with +7 and STR on it, also get as much WED as you can. Three sockets corruption is pretty good, WED corruption is even better. For offhand/defensive stance, go for the Surrender with as much block chance as you can afford/find. My scepter is pretty much what you'll need (ally mods are useless), but feel free to get more mana/stats if you can. Jewels - triple red Grand Spectrums with the corruptions of your choice. Also Against the Darkness with 4% STR and some res. Also Prism of Belief with + 3 AWT levels on it. Skill Tree

Rotation or something For the clear, just place your Molten Balls totems and hold/spam your Resonating Shield. For single target, but your break totem first, then put 3 single target totems and a Solar Orb, then spam your Resonating Shield. Some questions that you might have Is going hybrid with Atziri's Disdain an option? NOIDONTTHINKSO Can I play as a Titan? No. Well, yes, but you'll have to go hybrid and sacrifice so many nodes and/or affixes that you'll end up with a huge decrease in DPS and EHP.
