In case you missed it - Witchhunter update

In such a case, if the ballistas are capable of handling things on their own, couldn't the second tree just be pure defence? Armour, evasion, deflect, +res, block, regen, etc. Just nothing but layers.

Sure it can be done... but you could already in 0.2 swap to a shield and get the required stuff with the standard 24 points. Also, a totem build is inherently saver to play, just because you can constantly move around. Just for defense you could as well get 'sorcery ward'.

I think with +100 points you need to have a much better idea than just adding some defensive. Maybe something can be done with curse auras?

Is totem snapshotting even working?

Can you snapshot sorcery ward with a high armour and shield weapon swap?

And this will persist on 0.3 too, it will be even worse maybe because their weapon will be our weapon, since it requires a crossbow to be placed what happens if i swap to bow for example?
Will it disappear or do nothing (xbow required) or grab stats from the wrong weapon required to place it?
