*THE TWINK LEVELING GUIDE FOR THIS IS OUT NOW!!* ua-cam.com/video/DWvP_u6DqPk/v-deo.htmlsi=tusWTId52EarkIqB *FIND US ON TWITCH AND DISCORD* www.twitch.tv/lytylisius discord.gg/HmQHZEJGUW Everyone is welcome, just stay respectful. we have a great tight community.
Thanks for letting me know about this amazing build. Right now, I’m at the eye clinic getting my eyes checked because of the effects of the Shockwave Totem.
For your coming Warbringer build, you have Ancestral Sprits (meat shields), which themselves, can hold many defensive and support gems. Should most certainly allow you to dual wield and go more offensively with the build. Possibly even rival Titan's damage assuming armor break below zero works properly.
Switched over to your build today from Molten Strike. It was very surprising just HOW MUCH of adifference in damage levels in Aftershock make. A great build, thanks!
@@lytylisius yeah its actually quite easy to make this build decent, just buy 2 onehanders with +4 an amu and gauntlets +2 and boom, they see me rollin, they hatin :D!
Hello! I did everything according to your guide, but I didn’t get such numbers in damage. maybe this is due to the level of the stone (I have 18 now). could this be? I have no more than 12k damage
Just got my 4th ascendancy points with this build in the Temple of Chaos. Only have 34 levels of Shockwave Totem, and just enough life regen to keep me at full health for each totem. No 6-link yet. That's my next goal. Thank you for making this guide. I added ancestral totem for bosses and slotted armour break and lacerate and deep cuts. Dunno if it makes sense but it seems to work.
@@lytylisius thank you. happy holidays to you, too! Amour breaker scales the armour break with gem levels, too. At level 33 gem level, it says Hits Break 10,497 Armour in the description. Maybe it's something interesting but I don't know enough of the mechanics that might make it work. But, that's what I've tried and maybe it works. Lol. I can only see the bleed status but not the magnitude of the bleed. Anyway, great guide! Keep them coming!
Just swapped over to this build from a leap slam one i was using. Totems are insane. Love it. I dont have as much damage as you show but im still clearing T16 maps easy. Thhanks :)
instead of accuracy stat we can go for "resolute tech" node which gives our totem never miss but we dont do any crit (which we dont care anyways) with ur pathing that is 4 nodes food for thought.
Do you post your builds on mobalytics? This is a very cool solution to the melee problem in this current iteration of PoE2 but don't you feel that this isn't how the warrior class should play?
My tree layout is slightly less spread out, I've clustered my points near two jewel nodes (The one near Resolute Technique, the other near Ancestral Artifice). In those two jewel slots I then put in a Time-less jewel to add effects to all the small passive points, which Titan then boosts those effects 50% more, giving some insane stats.
@@MrBoBrilO So with the item filters it's hard to find if better exists, but if you had two jewels with Upgraded range to Large, small passives +3% melee, +3% totem damage and +2% atk spd, you effect roughly 15 passives in each area, so without Hulking that makes each jewel give +45% melee, +45% totem dmg, +30% atk spd, but with the Hulking it becomes +4% melee, +4% totem dmg and +3% atk spd, which is 60% 60% 45% each jewel
I just saw this last night and I switched over. So far its pretty good still need to 6 link it. Only recommendation i have is using Leap Slam with Holy Descent and Despoiler. This will almost double the health regen.
i ran my totembuild from 1-50 now and what i can say is, the manaissues via levelstacking really makes this logic only workable later on when you can get some decent regen going, i would recommend only doing a +4 onehander+shield and gauntlets +2, otherwise the manacost is unbearable, you will have to do some dmg yourself wich is suprisingly doable thanks to the +skill, but you wanna be tanky because your totems will need time to kill due to low level stacks, it starts to change somewhere around 40, not before, thats when you wanna go for +4 +4 +2 +2 loads of mana and regen, i would also recommend leaving out the +1 totem -50% duration gem, you wont spam them like crazy so having doulbe uptime seems smarter, you can circle them while regen and wait for them to kill stuff.
@bjonottesen7713 nevermind the later comment.. build works from lvl 6 onwards, right when you get acces tk the totem.. if using twink gear that is! I do not recommend starting this as ssf or first char.. working on a lvl 1 till endgame progression video as well as Warbringer VS titan.. release after Christmas.. you can do 2 x + 4 weapons just fine at lvl 28.. grab iron rings with 65+ mana and mana regen % 35+ .. two of them.. and you'll be able to spawn. Totems. At bosses the mana flask will suffice. Here this is a hidden video, recorded for upcoming guide.. boss if act 3 with 0 deaths throught the campaign.. started the totem at lvl 6 read discord for notes! ua-cam.com/video/9GerMldstKM/v-deo.html
No need for twink gear. This is my first endgame SSF character. Level 72 not capped resists, only +3 and +2 melee skills I managed to craft so far and it's doing really well in low level maps. Most of my gear is very average. This build is very SSF friendly actually. From mid Normal to early Cruel, you can get away with the Inspiration rune : Brutality / Martial Tempo / Inspiration. From mid Cruel as you level up the totem take the two passives "Mana Costs converted to Life Costs" (which include -10% Mana cost), your HP is around 2K - you only need 50-ish life regen with a few passive nodes to sustain 3 totems. Level 72, only 2370 HP, and ~70 life regen and it's plenty enough to sustain 5 link totem. Build is very SSF friendly since when you craft with currency or shop you really just want the +melee skills on the main weapon you don't care too much if it has big Phys Dmg bonuses. I'm running kind of a mix of this and POEguy's , taking some Blocking nodes and Turtle Charm.
Yup this is what i have already figured out. People saying totems are bad are playing wrong. Personaly i put the attack speed on leap slam and have more on the tree itself as well to go faster. For accuracy you can actually take the no crits always hit node on the tree then u get even more room for damage.
Jup, saves cash on gear on accuracy if you take Resolute technique.. but in the spirit of min maxing i never take nodes i dont need, as above lvl 90 you always feel node starved anyway. As for IAS.. i did this as well early on.. but because we dont move fast, the AOE bubble always exceeds our movement speed through the scaling.. so felt i didnt need more AOE at 4 totems and the "bad" speed PoE 2 has.
@monkeybomb1232 gonna test that as extra tomorrow.. as long as jt doesnt interfere with the safety of the rythem (totem aoe covering you per distance moved to stay safe), im all for it! As soon as you land in outside of bubble territory, im not so sure on my version. Will test though, thanks
Thanks for the guide Lyty! I am already lvl 85 and it is really smooth especially with 4th ascendancy. For thos who are having the hard time on the +7 melee 2h weapon, stick with 1h maces first with +5 melee skills it is doable
This build is great! I finished the campaign today and am having a fantastic time compared to my multiple alts. I would say equip the unique boots Bushwack at lvl 33 and never look back. The totems pin every enemy to the ground and they just get blasted.
Hi Lytylisius, just tried combining Earthshatter and add Jagged Ground + Upheaval + Persistence support skill on it. Totem then cast the Earthshatter is amazing. Get those explosions like crazy. I would imagine the Titan AOE is godly. DPS goes up by another 20% or so. Probably overkill but it works great on bosses.
Apparently you can also add volcanic fissure to this haha... totem > volcanic fissure > earthshatter... might be overkill though. Effect looks cool though. Comes out slow, probably only for when a boss is down.
quite a bit of free spirit i see there. adding cannibalism would be free sustain for mapping and herbalism would enhance the life flask for panic situations. other than that looks like a solid build, will try it out once i get tired of my current character 👍
@@toddddot3640 Hey bud Thanks for watching! No written guide just yet, but i took great care to compartmentalise the guide in smaller portions in the timeline.. if there are questions unanswered or you need help, just find me! i'm always willing to help.
from what i know leech is bad right now but, check out the unique gloves Gravebind, they make it so that enemies killed by anyone in your presence count as being killed by you instead, using those i made my onslaught ring work from my totems killing stuff so maybe life leech would work as well
nope u do no dmg if u dont have +levels to melee skill at weapon , u will have mana issue if u havent get the giants blood keystone cuz high level totem cost alot mana, if u got the keystone u will have attribute issue ( check the strength requirement before u buy a weapon with +level skill)
if u have some currency or u can make a twink then totems is really strong starter. If not and u cant get +lvl to weapons later u will be struggling abit.
This comment drew me in. Just hit act 3. And i am in absolute struggle town! So close to re-reolling, This will be the last guide i watch on totems. Wish me luck!
@@ra33it69 Do you have currency for atleast low str require + melee skill weapons? it's a must have for this build.. even + 3-4 will do! early on.. Gl bud!
Bro u genius. I made everything same but on warbringer and it already works 10 times better than a stupid woolie's stampede! Legend. Thank you so much! (Btw i think warbringer ascendancy nodes for totems and armour brake are disgustingly good for this build ;D )
@Sensoftim appreciate ya man! Yeah testing warbringer for upcoming leveling guide and warbringer VS titan showcase.. titan damage oer hit early hits is higher. But over time, with break below 0.. warbringer might take it in prolonged fights!
so you think for end game Warbringer overall is better? Right now I'm following your Twitch video for leveling a Shock Totem, currently at 11k dps with 4 totems... deleting everything in campaign, currently at act 3 cruel, near the end!
@drumcorpful enjoy mate!! At high ends of investment.. titan has more dmg.. but thats only good fkr bosses.. in 95% kf content,(maps) wabringer feels the same .. its only with bosses that titan pulls ahead.
@@lytylisius then i'll respec in warbringer, currently level 78, have around 450 exalted orbs sitting in stash so i think that will be more then enough to buy good gear! thank you for leveling guide and this amazing build!
09:22 Attack speed and +bleed chance soul core also apply right?😊 Also, why not out a other +30% more damage gem instead of overabundance? It is more damage and less cost. I decided to use a shield for now, safety first. And earthquake skill is also good because totens Will aftershock
this is a 75% build at best.. there are + 2 skill jewels out there.. + 2 lvls to this gem + other changes could put the damage at 100 K per totem. i prkect life to be at 4200-4500 .. there might be a way to strech regen to a point where inspiration can be removed for splinter.. for build in 15% armour brak of dmg dealt.. imagine.. 100 K dps.. each time a totem goes off... it strips 15% of the dmg dealt. think 4 totems.... Man.. this build can get stupid strong.
thank you for your guide really good creator . id say i would do things diffrently maybe go block and 1h/shield since u overkill everythhing easy. or go type of elemenet like cold or fire for end game. but ur build is very solid ! ty
So i watched your Twitch video and saw right at the beginning that you had prepared your gear, had all the items to add additional slots to the skills, the corresponding gems for the skill tree, etc I don't have any of that, but I still tried to keep up as best I could, but now in Act 2 with the bosses and especially on the map tops of the disha, I can't even come close to keeping up with the flood of enemies, I've probably died 30 times , because I don't have anywhere near the toughness, so in my opinion this level guide works for newcomers = 0
It's a miracle.. it's exactly as i said! Don't start this char SSF.. it's not a "first char". this one you play after you get bored of your "first" or "main" char.. grab some exalts for twink gear and have fun from lvl 6 onwards. now if you're already deep in this, and wanna maintain the gameplay, send me a DM on discord.. i'll set you up with twink gear ( i have a bunch of it backed up) to make sure you'll be alright.. **if anyone else reads this**..ill repeat, this is NOT the right choice to start with as a first char, if you have *zero currency to invest*. Casters/minions/rangers/monks all perform better without any investment. but with just *Light* investments, this will come alive real quick. see my discord for the preliminary notes on twink gear, or hold for the twink lvl guide coming soon! Enjoy and happy holidays
@@lytylisius I'm sorry, your guide didn't mean to speak badly, but as a POE beginner it just frustrates me and unfortunately my English is so bad that I don't understand every sentence in the video 😅
@@lytylisius I levelled to 78 with minion build so have some currency. Just started this toon. What twink items would you recommend for early levelling? thx
@baileyboy3687 jump in to my discord mate.. check under the guide section.. there almost level by level notes there for the upcoming new video i will make after Christmas. If you need anything else, let me know there, i got you!
I’ve really been struggling as new player to Poe and choosing warrior as my first. Would love to see what you think the best progression down the passive skills would be. Things like at one point in your playthrough is it feasible to pick up Giants blood.
In answered that yesterday during a relevl live test.. at lvl 22-24 youll have it already if you have acces to low strength requirement +3 weapons.. Started a live test and yet another new char ( warbringer) on twitch yesterday to answer the two most asked questions 1. How do i level up this char? 2. How about warbringer I've posted some notes on the dicord server under the guide section for level up tips as well. ill invest similar amounts of currency in both chars to do a side by side. then everyone can make up their mind on what they think is better
It started feeling okay at lvl 35 ( twink geared) Around that time u gain acces to a lot of things including better + lvl scale weapons and the nodes that add + 1 totem
I been doing this build, there's a unique helmet called Thrillsteel Spired Greathelm that gives you Onslaught -- buff for +20% attack speed and +10% movement speed. It applies to your totems too apparently. It's actually crazy.
@@lytylisiusYeah. I was able to resist cap without the helmet... All my money went into very good rings. But the helmet turns a defensive slot to a offensive one. Also, for some reason the bleed runes I put on my weapon doesnt show bleed alignment on my totems. Any thoughts?
Hi @lytylisius. In an other guide the dude told, that "adds X physical damage TO ATTACKS" on your weapons would also help with totems. can you confirm that? and why don't you use your remaining 50 Spirit for the aura that decreases stun threshould for mobs near you? Thanks a lot. Very nice guide!
If only Astral Projection would work on Totems. They don't even though you can slot it in. I shelved my build because the shockwave blur effect was too much for me. I suggest however adding in an Ancestral Warrior Totem with Overabundance and Earthquake. Makes a noticable difference on bosses. Happy to see another Totem Warrior!
Theres quite a few thing he missed. The best reason to go blood Magick for one... the strength nodes that reduce mana... well you don't have mana so all bonus... and increases damage based on strg...
Yea I felt this as well. That shock wave effect is, after awhile, disorienting. I went with molten blast and change it up a bit. It’s doing very well, except for the targeting of the totems. Some bosses just jump around so much. So I may look into the earthquake myself. Thx.
@@lytylisius IDK how I missed that lol thanks. Have you considered using Armour Breaker? With Demolisher, Break Posture, and if you have some bleed chance from jewels (you only need 21% with 3 totems to keep a bleed up 99.2% of the time) Rupture. I'm finding that it fully breaks most boss armour in 1 hit. Sometimes 2.
@@LeiRaion I only change the build based on needs.. don't feel the need for more damage right now.. then again.. havent faced or found citadels yet.. and im 6 splinters away from a breachstone.. so that might soon change. thanks for the information
I think this will be my next build. Thanks for the incredibly detailed video. Do you have suggestions on how to level, and when you would switch to pure totems?
My own leveling experience was so bad untill level 35, i decided i'd need more research before i give advice on it. the real problem is, i like to learn things as i go, not pluck them from other sources..so i've been sppending so many hours in game, probably a lot of wasted hours, learning through trial and error. will look into a better path in the coming days mate
Thanks man appreciate it! really put my heart in this one as totems was always my first "PoE Crush" xD For leveling i used twink gear.. otherwise i would feel leveling would be rather slow.. get + lvl weapons where you can with low str require.. up untill lvl 35-ish the leveling is rather slow.. then it picks up a lot!
Fantastic build mate, but it could honestly use a build guide on Mobalytics of Maxroll or something as it's very much a pain to constantly pause and go back and forth.
That's awesome -- what are your thoughts on Titan vs Warbringer. Warbringer has this Ancestral Spirit skill, not sure how game changing it is for totem play

How about warbringer I've posted some notes on the dicord server under the guide section for level up tips as well. ill invest similar amounts of currency in both chars to do a side by side. then everyone can make up their mind on what they think is better
@@lytylisius i went with warbringer, the spawns can serve as a decent distraction, main issue i had so far is 1) the bull tends to shove not only enemies out of totemrange, but sometimes shoves around the totems itself wich is quite annoying and all of them have quite a decent range, the problem is that range tends to be out of the range of the totems, so them tanking can be nice, but mostly it just keeps enemies from being killed by totems haha. your life instead of mana could however benefit from the 20% of your life is taken by totems instead, i also like the obsidian skill that reduces dmg by up to 10% wich is nice without a shield, for the last 2 points i went with the shouts exploding corpses, because everything else seems kinda useless given one lane is fully for shield, the other just breaks armor, wich however might deserve some testing since it can reduce armor below 0, but who knows how much +% dmg that is, i guess most things are dead before that could even start to shine lol. im also wondering if you could go 50/50 on mana and lifecost and instead push both mana and liferegen, but you seem to have tested all that so i guess it leaves us with no choice :/
the level scaling on these is quite insane, specially once you start aproaching lvl20 on the gem. at the beginning is rough, you only have one totem and it doesnt do much damage, bosses take forever, but there is a point, around the start of act3 normal were the totem starts to pick up pace, also is the point were you start getting 2 or 3 totems. cruel is actually easier than normal because of that, while you are doing cruel, every level you get on the gems is going to put to shame the last one. i for example, when i started maps, bough an amulet, gloves and started two handing a second mace with +3, for a total of +7 levels. my damage basically when from 1k to close to 10k
How about HCSSF? Blood magic route I understand to try combat the totem costs and you stack regen/life, but on HCSFF that would be very RNG gear dependent too with regen/max hp. Maybe that's something to spec into later, because early on shockwave is 1-2 shotting mobs but as you get to executioner/count if you go the early regen/armor route you will be doing nearly zero damage (and I have +3 to melee attacks in A1) and you'll have to basically mace attack bosses and boneshatter mobs the whole time. So I've gone the melee % nodes first, straight into the totem damage and heading to +1, it's safer to kill fast with relative tankiness than be a full tank and have 10x longer fights. This is with 2 support gems the luxury of multiple orbs isn't something you want to use right away.
U dont need that reg until high Tier maps. I had one ssfhc lvl 72 gemlin totem build and i had the flask reg aura and the stunbuildup with vitality and was by 100 lifereg allready with shitty gear. Allways i put many totems u just Spam ur lifeflask with over 2k reg per sec. It works better then it sounds!

Great guide, very comprehensive! out of the areas you highlighted on the tree, what do you prioritize? is there a direction you head on the tree? i am still getting new to the game and a life based skill cost is new to me sorry. thx in advance
Early on, dont worry about life based.. it became needed through the massive level increases of the skill. Just have clarity and some mana regen on gear early on and youll be alright
@dhargul3551 that hand of the gods thing with astramentis? Haven't checked it out but hear its a mad build!! Just even less budget friendly than this xd
With smaller AOE u need more IAS.. to stay in the bubble while moving as i explained in the video.. so you have to choose.. nodes become scarce quickly.. i've chosen AOE over IAS.. especially because enemies can get out of the way of "fast small " totems.. but not away from full screen aoe.
this can be viable with the Warbringer Ascendancy? Maybe the Ancestral Spirits node worth for support? Very good guide btw, its so funny to see everything explode
I'm a warbringer using totems. Totally possible but gears way more expensive than Titan. Also, the damage won't be as high. The ancestral spirits from ascendancy is def NOT worth it ... They are so useless tbh and lags the screen lol.😅. One be benefit of warbringer though is you can switch to a second set with a shield and activate your ascendancy block without raising shield with Thrill steel shield, which gives you up to 77-90% chance of not taking damage from hits or AOE... Yes, you can block aoe with warbringer. So place totem with two great hammers and go into defensive mode with weapon swap... I would still say titan is much easier and better though, I was very sad when I found out titan was a better totem user than an ascendancy with totem nodes😢
@@Academioe Oh, thanks for that deep insight, my friend! Yeah, it's kinda sad that the ancestral spirit sucks.Maybe i need to take a look into the warcry build
@@shinhadou12 Cool tech that I comboed with Woolie's suggestion for using the Svalinn Crucible Tower Shield. So basically you put points into block on 2nd set of weapon with shield and put Earthshatter skill to cast only on 2nd set of weapon with shield and add Jagged Ground + Upheaval + Persistence support skill on it. So you cast the totems then cast Earthshatter which automatically put you into shield mode, which triggers the turtle charm which allows you to block without raising your shield up. The earthshatter creates jagged ground that explodes for another 14k damage from shockwave totems activating the jagged ground, so it's offensive and defensive. It's pretty cool looking xD.

FOr uber bosses, i can swap Inspirstion for splinter for build in armour break.. chance the AOE gems to conc effect.. damage over 100 K per totem with build in armour break would be fine.. should have been in the guide, sorry
Extremely pro build bro. I just have one problem. And that is armored enemies and enemies with high stun buildup, how do your totems perform against them? I'd imagine with dps similar to sunder very well but figured I'd ask. thanks bro
Hi, how do you scale early game using totems? i dont seem to be doing much damage, are there any skills i should use beside totem that also keeps me from harm while doing decent dps beside my totem?
Not at all.. jump on my discord ( pinned in the comments up top) proceed to the guide channel in my discord.. follow the instructions there. If you have some exa for twinked starter gear, you're gonna be smooth sailing at lvl 6.. ( still slow ish) and very smooth sailing from lvl 22 !! If you find any issues, let me know there as well! GL man, and happy holidays in advance! oh and if you got a buddy that needs a key? check the giveaway channel as well ;)
I was Totem with block. This is night and day. I am having so much more fun. TY for the build. I am sitting at (6+5+2+2) getting my way up in maps 8 and I have a blast. Can't wait to transition to life and stop hearing that "you have no mana" msg.
prefer RT and you can get another aura and sabe mods instead of getting accuracy, idk if totems crit that much anyways. Comparing no RT and RT is huge dps gain.
+ 3 hits way harder.. like very much so xD But uldurn idol amulet ( 1 extra totem) is lvl 24 item.. + 3 is lvl 60++ So yes, in the upcoming leveling guide it will definately feature as a piece of twink gear.
Another good build for the best class! Also where are you from? Your accent sounds really cool it feels like I'm listening to a dwarf from lord of the ring.
@@LuKanO84 the AOE is for coverage.. you sover the whole screen therefor target more enemies at once.. more clear, less chance of getting hit. Numerically, not more danage.. practically, especially in open maps, huge advantage
@@lytylisius ty man, i asked this because some nodes say increased area of effect and others say increased area of effect for attacks. so i'm a bit confused lol.... are they the same thing?
@dRJRbGaming its the most requested question by far it seems.. i winged it, and it was slow and tortuous xd.. finding the right path and making a video on it, is next on my agenda mate
"One button build" it's in the thumbnail... looking at other options for sure though. especially for bossing. but for 90% of gameplay, it is indeed, dropping totems and moving xD
Hey mate, I'm finishing Act 2 and it's time for me to ascend. I know you're testing Warbringer. Do you have any additional thoughts as to which Ascendency is best?
Almost have the same build with a shield. It's great to see, bro!! Gonna have to mess around with the 2nd weap. I'm at like 30k dps with 2h and shield atm gonna have to get that regen up haha
Why not using resolute technique to solve accuracy since not really investing into crit? Also there is amulet with +1 limit so you could have 5 totem or 4 with another support gem. I was leveling with shockwave totem and jagged ground support is good when you have at least 3 totems placed.
Do you think gemling legionaire is a valid alternative? As sw totem atk speed scales with levels and quality you could stack strenght and play with double 2h weapon with a wopping total of +15 level and +16% quality.
if I switch over to this build at lvl 73, what lvl maps would I be able to clear easily? I feel like this build requires a lot of points that are far away and require a lot of travel. Which points should I prioritize getting if I'm only lvl 73?
As for maps, that depends on the gear u have at that lvl mate.. im doing t17-18s right now at lvl 85 ... the 1 death i had is in the video to xD.. gear and gem levels matter above all!
@darkflame_reaper that low death count is as wabringer on my new video mate, my bad.. this Titan does far more damage, but is more susceptible to oneshots! (Getting one shot) still, powerful build if played right, safe as well.. in this video, check the "how to map safely" timeline section of the video for a demo
Thanks man, I really want to play this build but those jewels are a deal breaker in terms of budget lol Wish there was a better way to manage the casting costs.
The jewels are more so mandatory at lvl 39 gems.. realistically most people will use + 5 or + 5 weapons not +7.. + 5 is managable without those jewels.
Thx for this build. How dontoi do for have +7 on melee on item ? You buy item on trade market ? How can we have more than +1 melee on item ^^ never see more than +1 so i miss something ^^ thx for your time sir.

@lytylisius I only had the skill points properly, but then I converted it to your final build to see now that it's right at the beginning with damage - sad 🙈
im curious. is there any synergy with using volcanic fissure and having your totems slam them for extra aftershocks for single target or anything? tried anything like that out?
@junk3996 i have not.. could be nice.. negates the idea of a 1 button build though. But maybe when damage matters even more, like with pinacle bosses, it could be the way to go. Thanks for the suggestion mate!
@@lytylisius ya just while you're sitting around waiting for totems to dps a boss down, you could throw down an upheaval volcanic fissure. just not sure exaclty how the "aftershocks" scale from the fissures if its from the volcanic fissure dmg (which wouldn't be good) or aftershock from the totem slam damage (which would be very very good) its actually what i initially wanted to league start with, but i went warbringer to start. remade as titan and at that point abandoned totem idea until i saw they can work
question about the weapon: is socketed soul core of Opiloti (15% chance to cause bleeding) will work with totems? also why not using cannibalism support for additional HP recover?
Hi lytylisius! I really appreciate your video! This is exactly the warrior variant I would like to play myself. Thank you for your guide! I have a question. What is the best reward to choose in Act 3 for Servi? Will 25% mana regen somehow work with Blood Magic or not? What is better to choose, in your opinion? Thank you in advance for your answer.
The martial tempo works.. somehow it doesnt show it on the totem gem itself.. place 1 totem.. with and without the martial tempo.. if you have a sense of rythem, you'll see
@lytylisius I play on Xbox and there are hints on support gems what skills they work with. At least attack area is the same with and without gem. So, still confused
Started a live test and yet another new char ( warbringer) on twitch yesterday to answer the two most asked questions 1. How do i level up this char? 2. How about warbringer I've posted some notes on the dicord server under the guide section for level up tips as well. ill invest similar amounts of currency in both chars to do a side by side. then everyone can make up their mind on what they think is better
@@AA-BByou can weapon swap from dual wield 2h when dropping the totems to active block on the second weapon set. I'm using a sceptre with shield on weapon set 2 for a more defensive playstyle.
Im playing on PS5. My levels to melee lvl dont count for the Schockwave totem. Onlly my levels from the Amulet count. Both weapons are not red and have +6 to melee lvls. Any ideas what the issue could be?

Is it possible we can get a leveling guide for this build?
Can you follow up with a starting guide. Otherwise this is excellent, what I have been looking for.
is the build's survivalblity okay for uber bosses
How do u get 4 totems?
Thanks for letting me know about this amazing build. Right now, I’m at the eye clinic getting my eyes checked because of the effects of the Shockwave Totem.
They go Bam Bam on monsters.. and Bam Bam on eyes.. xD
Cry much
just play spark
For your coming Warbringer build, you have Ancestral Sprits (meat shields), which themselves, can hold many defensive and support gems. Should most certainly allow you to dual wield and go more offensively with the build. Possibly even rival Titan's damage assuming armor break below zero works properly.
Switched over to your build today from Molten Strike. It was very surprising just HOW MUCH of adifference in damage levels in Aftershock make.
A great build, thanks!
Just when I was gonna give up on this class, you came in clutch💯. They smack and I’m a lower level. Thank you
@@mapp1973 so happy to see the build work! Enjoy it mate!
@@lytylisius yeah its actually quite easy to make this build decent, just buy 2 onehanders with +4 an amu and gauntlets +2 and boom, they see me rollin, they hatin :D!
@@Chris_KAy jup.. no weird side mechanics.. just equip and go
Hello! I did everything according to your guide, but I didn’t get such numbers in damage. maybe this is due to the level of the stone (I have 18 now). could this be? I have no more than 12k damage
very useful guide Larry. You explain your choices and whats not needed. I will definitely try this as my second build! great job.
Thanks man appreciate it.. if you need anything find me.
I've been lebeling a Warrior for this specific kind of build and this is the first comprehensive guide I've found for it, amazing job!
@Hixarian thanks man appreciate it!
Just got my 4th ascendancy points with this build in the Temple of Chaos. Only have 34 levels of Shockwave Totem, and just enough life regen to keep me at full health for each totem. No 6-link yet. That's my next goal.
Thank you for making this guide. I added ancestral totem for bosses and slotted armour break and lacerate and deep cuts. Dunno if it makes sense but it seems to work.
@BlackHowling24601 various combinations keep popping up, this one is new to me! Enjoy mate, and happy holidays!
@@lytylisius thank you. happy holidays to you, too! Amour breaker scales the armour break with gem levels, too. At level 33 gem level, it says Hits Break 10,497 Armour in the description. Maybe it's something interesting but I don't know enough of the mechanics that might make it work. But, that's what I've tried and maybe it works. Lol. I can only see the bleed status but not the magnitude of the bleed. Anyway, great guide! Keep them coming!
I enjoyed totem builds in Poe 1, good to see they’re still viable.
It will be even better after we get more weapons, there are bound to be more totems on other martial weapons.
Just swapped over to this build from a leap slam one i was using. Totems are insane. Love it. I dont have as much damage as you show but im still clearing T16 maps easy. Thhanks :)
Enjoy mate! glad you like it! an update video is coming in the next 2 days!
instead of accuracy stat we can go for "resolute tech" node which gives our totem never miss but we dont do any crit (which we dont care anyways) with ur pathing that is 4 nodes
food for thought.
Do you post your builds on mobalytics? This is a very cool solution to the melee problem in this current iteration of PoE2 but don't you feel that this isn't how the warrior class should play?
My tree layout is slightly less spread out, I've clustered my points near two jewel nodes (The one near Resolute Technique, the other near Ancestral Artifice). In those two jewel slots I then put in a Time-less jewel to add effects to all the small passive points, which Titan then boosts those effects 50% more, giving some insane stats.
Yes im looking in to the + 2 to lvl of shockwave totem jewel as well.. it's just..... slightly..... overpriced xD
How much stats do you get exactly by using this techique?
@@MrBoBrilO So with the item filters it's hard to find if better exists, but if you had two jewels with Upgraded range to Large, small passives +3% melee, +3% totem damage and +2% atk spd, you effect roughly 15 passives in each area, so without Hulking that makes each jewel give +45% melee, +45% totem dmg, +30% atk spd, but with the Hulking it becomes +4% melee, +4% totem dmg and +3% atk spd, which is 60% 60% 45% each jewel

@@jaredhill4367 thats wild adds
I just saw this last night and I switched over. So far its pretty good still need to 6 link it. Only recommendation i have is using Leap Slam with Holy Descent and Despoiler. This will almost double the health regen.
More regen?? Dude.. you've just become my hero.. checking it out when i go online today!
Very detailed build guide! Thanks dude!
@@Ruwoir enjoy my man!
would it be possible to see a low level into mid game into end game builds. Tysm for the content!
i ran my totembuild from 1-50 now and what i can say is, the manaissues via levelstacking really makes this logic only workable later on when you can get some decent regen going, i would recommend only doing a +4 onehander+shield and gauntlets +2, otherwise the manacost is unbearable, you will have to do some dmg yourself wich is suprisingly doable thanks to the +skill, but you wanna be tanky because your totems will need time to kill due to low level stacks, it starts to change somewhere around 40, not before, thats when you wanna go for +4 +4 +2 +2 loads of mana and regen, i would also recommend leaving out the +1 totem -50% duration gem, you wont spam them like crazy so having doulbe uptime seems smarter, you can circle them while regen and wait for them to kill stuff.
@bjonottesen7713 nevermind the later comment.. build works from lvl 6 onwards, right when you get acces tk the totem.. if using twink gear that is! I do not recommend starting this as ssf or first char.. working on a lvl 1 till endgame progression video as well as Warbringer VS titan.. release after Christmas.. you can do 2 x + 4 weapons just fine at lvl 28.. grab iron rings with 65+ mana and mana regen % 35+ .. two of them.. and you'll be able to spawn. Totems. At bosses the mana flask will suffice. Here this is a hidden video, recorded for upcoming guide.. boss if act 3 with 0 deaths throught the campaign.. started the totem at lvl 6 read discord for notes! ua-cam.com/video/9GerMldstKM/v-deo.html
@lytylisius you are a real one! Gained a sub for life ty friend
@@bjonottesen7713 appreciate ya brother. Happy Holidays!!
No need for twink gear. This is my first endgame SSF character. Level 72 not capped resists, only +3 and +2 melee skills I managed to craft so far and it's doing really well in low level maps. Most of my gear is very average.
This build is very SSF friendly actually.
From mid Normal to early Cruel, you can get away with the Inspiration rune : Brutality / Martial Tempo / Inspiration.
From mid Cruel as you level up the totem take the two passives "Mana Costs converted to Life Costs" (which include -10% Mana cost), your HP is around 2K - you only need 50-ish life regen with a few passive nodes to sustain 3 totems.
Level 72, only 2370 HP, and ~70 life regen and it's plenty enough to sustain 5 link totem.
Build is very SSF friendly since when you craft with currency or shop you really just want the +melee skills on the main weapon you don't care too much if it has big Phys Dmg bonuses.
I'm running kind of a mix of this and POEguy's , taking some Blocking nodes and Turtle Charm.
Excellent build , now i really enjoy the game , thank you !
Enjoy!
Dude thanks for the build!!!!! I had a pesky problem of being able to see the screen, but who needs to see when your clearing!!!!!
Yup this is what i have already figured out. People saying totems are bad are playing wrong. Personaly i put the attack speed on leap slam and have more on the tree itself as well to go faster.
For accuracy you can actually take the no crits always hit node on the tree then u get even more room for damage.
Jup, saves cash on gear on accuracy if you take Resolute technique.. but in the spirit of min maxing i never take nodes i dont need, as above lvl 90 you always feel node starved anyway. As for IAS.. i did this as well early on.. but because we dont move fast, the AOE bubble always exceeds our movement speed through the scaling.. so felt i didnt need more AOE at 4 totems and the "bad" speed PoE 2 has.
@@lytylisius Leap slam goes faster with more attack speed. Even if your slower than the totem aoe you are moving faster across the map.
@monkeybomb1232 gonna test that as extra tomorrow.. as long as jt doesnt interfere with the safety of the rythem (totem aoe covering you per distance moved to stay safe), im all for it! As soon as you land in outside of bubble territory, im not so sure on my version. Will test though, thanks
what about support gem with jagged ground? Is it working? How? Is there any point to use earthquake so it procs jagged ground?
@@monkeybomb1232i think he can just shield charge with the cooldown shield for movement, it can get p fast
Thanks for the guide Lyty! I am already lvl 85 and it is really smooth especially with 4th ascendancy.
For thos who are having the hard time on the +7 melee 2h weapon, stick with 1h maces first with +5 melee skills it is doable
solid advice man!
Great Guide, thanks! Easy to follow and enjoying the build!
This build is great! I finished the campaign today and am having a fantastic time compared to my multiple alts. I would say equip the unique boots Bushwack at lvl 33 and never look back. The totems pin every enemy to the ground and they just get blasted.
Thanks man, gotta check those out today before i make the levelling guide video!
Hi Lytylisius, just tried combining Earthshatter and add Jagged Ground + Upheaval + Persistence support skill on it. Totem then cast the Earthshatter is amazing. Get those explosions like crazy. I would imagine the Titan AOE is godly. DPS goes up by another 20% or so. Probably overkill but it works great on bosses.
Apparently you can also add volcanic fissure to this haha... totem > volcanic fissure > earthshatter... might be overkill though. Effect looks cool though. Comes out slow, probably only for when a boss is down.
Boss add information is always welcome! thanks mate!
awesome build, loving it great job
Appreciate it man Enjoy and happy hollidays!
quite a bit of free spirit i see there. adding cannibalism would be free sustain for mapping and herbalism would enhance the life flask for panic situations. other than that looks like a solid build, will try it out once i get tired of my current character 👍

from what i know leech is bad right now but, check out the unique gloves Gravebind, they make it so that enemies killed by anyone in your presence count as being killed by you instead, using those i made my onslaught ring work from my totems killing stuff so maybe life leech would work as well
P.S. this is an amazing build, love playing it! thank you!
can we level from the start with totems? or best to level to x beforehand? giants blood first? thanks
Also interested. Warrior leveling is...
nope u do no dmg if u dont have +levels to melee skill at weapon , u will have mana issue if u havent get the giants blood keystone cuz high level totem cost alot mana, if u got the keystone u will have attribute issue ( check the strength requirement before u buy a weapon with +level skill)

Nice guide. Very comprehensive. Thanks a lot.
Appreciate it man! thanks for watching!
09:22 Attack speed and +bleed chance soul core also apply right?😊
Also, why not out a other +30% more damage gem instead of overabundance? It is more damage and less cost.
I decided to use a shield for now, safety first. And earthquake skill is also good because totens Will aftershock
we dont suffer from damage at all.. its about coverage.. thionk open maps.. breaches and expedition/ ritual. you cover everything
Great guide, I hope you upload an even more endgame guide cuz there is still room to upgrade the build :)
this is a 75% build at best.. there are + 2 skill jewels out there.. + 2 lvls to this gem + other changes could put the damage at 100 K per totem. i prkect life to be at 4200-4500 .. there might be a way to strech regen to a point where inspiration can be removed for splinter.. for build in 15% armour brak of dmg dealt.. imagine.. 100 K dps.. each time a totem goes off... it strips 15% of the dmg dealt. think 4 totems.... Man.. this build can get stupid strong.
thank you for your guide really good creator . id say i would do things diffrently maybe go block and 1h/shield since u overkill everythhing easy. or go type of elemenet like cold or fire for end game. but ur build is very solid ! ty
@@Almog92 tested shield today.. 66% less damage, still steamrolls everything but map bosses.. much more safe, just less BAM BAM

@@Perka-PoE thanks for watching!
love the build but can't seem to find any body armour with X% life regen per second. Did you craft it yourself?
So i watched your Twitch video and saw right at the beginning that you had prepared your gear, had all the items to add additional slots to the skills, the corresponding gems for the skill tree, etc I don't have any of that, but I still tried to keep up as best I could, but now in Act 2 with the bosses and especially on the map tops of the disha, I can't even come close to keeping up with the flood of enemies, I've probably died 30 times , because I don't have anywhere near the toughness, so in my opinion this level guide works for newcomers = 0
It's a miracle.. it's exactly as i said! Don't start this char SSF.. it's not a "first char". this one you play after you get bored of your "first" or "main" char.. grab some exalts for twink gear and have fun from lvl 6 onwards. now if you're already deep in this, and wanna maintain the gameplay, send me a DM on discord.. i'll set you up with twink gear ( i have a bunch of it backed up) to make sure you'll be alright.. **if anyone else reads this**..ill repeat, this is NOT the right choice to start with as a first char, if you have *zero currency to invest*. Casters/minions/rangers/monks all perform better without any investment. but with just *Light* investments, this will come alive real quick. see my discord for the preliminary notes on twink gear, or hold for the twink lvl guide coming soon!

If you use Earthquake after using a totem, a thorn zone will erupt, which can further increase boss damage.
@김삿갓-z4q yes, it's been mentioned.. very good during boss encounters
Looks awesome. Saved for when I'm at endgame. Does this work for leveling or is it only an endgame build? I'm only 48 end of act 3 right now.
It started feeling okay at lvl 35 ( twink geared) Around that time u gain acces to a lot of things including better + lvl scale weapons and the nodes that add + 1 totem
@@lytylisiusIm thinking about leveling this character,which twink gear did you use that is budget friendly?
I been doing this build, there's a unique helmet called Thrillsteel Spired Greathelm that gives you Onslaught -- buff for +20% attack speed and +10% movement speed. It applies to your totems too apparently. It's actually crazy.

did you go first on the passive tree during leveling?
Wow bro, very cool build, but with the warbringer ascendancy is not worth it?

Friend, I found your guide to be very top-notch, from what level can you follow this guide?
@dikoedi i felt it started to work with think gear at lvl 30-35 ish.. thats when u gain acces to +1 max totem nodes
Hi @lytylisius.
In an other guide the dude told, that "adds X physical damage TO ATTACKS" on your weapons would also help with totems. can you confirm that?
and why don't you use your remaining 50 Spirit for the aura that decreases stun threshould for mobs near you?
Thanks a lot. Very nice guide!
Thats bs.. add phys damage to attacks works on gloves/ rings etc.. anything on the weapon doesnt save for the stun buildup for some reason..
If only Astral Projection would work on Totems. They don't even though you can slot it in.
I shelved my build because the shockwave blur effect was too much for me.
I suggest however adding in an Ancestral Warrior Totem with Overabundance and Earthquake. Makes a noticable difference on bosses.
Happy to see another Totem Warrior!
Theres quite a few thing he missed. The best reason to go blood Magick for one... the strength nodes that reduce mana... well you don't have mana so all bonus... and increases damage based on strg...
Yea I felt this as well. That shock wave effect is, after awhile, disorienting. I went with molten blast and change it up a bit. It’s doing very well, except for the targeting of the totems. Some bosses just jump around so much. So I may look into the earthquake myself. Thx.
Did I miss it? Was how you got the 4th totem explained?
I understand the +2 from the tree to get to 3, does the 4th simply come from skill level?
Over abundance in the skills section of the timeline.. overabundance support.
@@lytylisius IDK how I missed that lol thanks.
Have you considered using Armour Breaker? With Demolisher, Break Posture, and if you have some bleed chance from jewels (you only need 21% with 3 totems to keep a bleed up 99.2% of the time) Rupture.
I'm finding that it fully breaks most boss armour in 1 hit. Sometimes 2.

@@lytylisius i went with warbringer, the spawns can serve as a decent distraction, main issue i had so far is 1) the bull tends to shove not only enemies out of totemrange, but sometimes shoves around the totems itself wich is quite annoying and all of them have quite a decent range, the problem is that range tends to be out of the range of the totems, so them tanking can be nice, but mostly it just keeps enemies from being killed by totems haha.
your life instead of mana could however benefit from the 20% of your life is taken by totems instead, i also like the obsidian skill that reduces dmg by up to 10% wich is nice without a shield, for the last 2 points i went with the shouts exploding corpses, because everything else seems kinda useless given one lane is fully for shield, the other just breaks armor, wich however might deserve some testing since it can reduce armor below 0, but who knows how much +% dmg that is, i guess most things are dead before that could even start to shine lol.
im also wondering if you could go 50/50 on mana and lifecost and instead push both mana and liferegen, but you seem to have tested all that so i guess it leaves us with no choice :/
the level scaling on these is quite insane, specially once you start aproaching lvl20 on the gem. at the beginning is rough, you only have one totem and it doesnt do much damage, bosses take forever, but there is a point, around the start of act3 normal were the totem starts to pick up pace, also is the point were you start getting 2 or 3 totems. cruel is actually easier than normal because of that, while you are doing cruel, every level you get on the gems is going to put to shame the last one.
i for example, when i started maps, bough an amulet, gloves and started two handing a second mace with +3, for a total of +7 levels. my damage basically when from 1k to close to 10k
@@arthaiser join the Discord.. there's some new information on it in the Guide section you'll wanna see.. build can work as soon as lvl 6 onwards.
How about HCSSF? Blood magic route I understand to try combat the totem costs and you stack regen/life, but on HCSFF that would be very RNG gear dependent too with regen/max hp. Maybe that's something to spec into later, because early on shockwave is 1-2 shotting mobs but as you get to executioner/count if you go the early regen/armor route you will be doing nearly zero damage (and I have +3 to melee attacks in A1) and you'll have to basically mace attack bosses and boneshatter mobs the whole time. So I've gone the melee % nodes first, straight into the totem damage and heading to +1, it's safer to kill fast with relative tankiness than be a full tank and have 10x longer fights. This is with 2 support gems the luxury of multiple orbs isn't something you want to use right away.
U dont need that reg until high Tier maps. I had one ssfhc lvl 72 gemlin totem build and i had the flask reg aura and the stunbuildup with vitality and was by 100 lifereg allready with shitty gear. Allways i put many totems u just Spam ur lifeflask with over 2k reg per sec. It works better then it sounds!

@dhargul3551 that hand of the gods thing with astramentis? Haven't checked it out but hear its a mad build!! Just even less budget friendly than this xd
Hi good guy , and how does the attack speed scale? wouldn't it be better to take more nodes for attack speed on the skill tree?
With smaller AOE u need more IAS.. to stay in the bubble while moving as i explained in the video.. so you have to choose.. nodes become scarce quickly.. i've chosen AOE over IAS.. especially because enemies can get out of the way of "fast small " totems.. but not away from full screen aoe.
this can be viable with the Warbringer Ascendancy? Maybe the Ancestral Spirits node worth for support? Very good guide btw, its so funny to see everything explode
I'm a warbringer using totems. Totally possible but gears way more expensive than Titan. Also, the damage won't be as high. The ancestral spirits from ascendancy is def NOT worth it ... They are so useless tbh and lags the screen lol.😅. One be benefit of warbringer though is you can switch to a second set with a shield and activate your ascendancy block without raising shield with Thrill steel shield, which gives you up to 77-90% chance of not taking damage from hits or AOE... Yes, you can block aoe with warbringer. So place totem with two great hammers and go into defensive mode with weapon swap... I would still say titan is much easier and better though, I was very sad when I found out titan was a better totem user than an ascendancy with totem nodes😢
@@Academioe Oh, thanks for that deep insight, my friend! Yeah, it's kinda sad that the ancestral spirit sucks.Maybe i need to take a look into the warcry build
Why do you say gear is much cheaper for Titan than for Warbringer? Why do you think Titan IS easier?@@Academioe
@@shinhadou12 Cool tech that I comboed with Woolie's suggestion for using the Svalinn Crucible Tower Shield. So basically you put points into block on 2nd set of weapon with shield and put Earthshatter skill to cast only on 2nd set of weapon with shield and add Jagged Ground + Upheaval + Persistence support skill on it. So you cast the totems then cast Earthshatter which automatically put you into shield mode, which triggers the turtle charm which allows you to block without raising your shield up. The earthshatter creates jagged ground that explodes for another 14k damage from shockwave totems activating the jagged ground, so it's offensive and defensive. It's pretty cool looking xD.
Started a live test and yet another new char ( warbringer) on twitch yesterday to answer the two most asked questions
1. How do i level up this char?
2. How about warbringer
I've posted some notes on the dicord server under the guide section for level up tips as well. ill invest similar amounts of currency in both chars to do a side by side. then everyone can make up their mind on what they think is better
Ancestral totem can do insane amount of single target damage tho, but unless u want to do uber bosses (max difficulty), shockwave would be fine.
The thing about totem build is u cant have good clear, good single target and be tanky at the same time
Its hard to choice btw 2, whats ur suggestion? For farming maps this is great..but bosses? @megadoodoo5088
@@megadoodoo5088so which one to focus on?
FOr uber bosses, i can swap Inspirstion for splinter for build in armour break.. chance the AOE gems to conc effect.. damage over 100 K per totem with build in armour break would be fine.. should have been in the guide, sorry
@@lytylisiuscan u show us later on stream pls?:)
Extremely pro build bro. I just have one problem. And that is armored enemies and enemies with high stun buildup, how do your totems perform against them? I'd imagine with dps similar to sunder very well but figured I'd ask. thanks bro
With enough totem lvl.. they simply smash. wont feel a difference.. save for certain bosses i would assume.
Hi, how do you scale early game using totems? i dont seem to be doing much damage, are there any skills i should use beside totem that also keeps me from harm while doing decent dps beside my totem?
@reqckvvvjrf42 check the notes on early leveling in my discord " guide section."
doing a totem build as well and leveling is brutal.
Not at all.. jump on my discord ( pinned in the comments up top) proceed to the guide channel in my discord.. follow the instructions there. If you have some exa for twinked starter gear, you're gonna be smooth sailing at lvl 6.. ( still slow ish) and very smooth sailing from lvl 22 !! If you find any issues, let me know there as well! GL man, and happy holidays in advance! oh and if you got a buddy that needs a key? check the giveaway channel as well ;)
I was Totem with block. This is night and day. I am having so much more fun. TY for the build. I am sitting at (6+5+2+2) getting my way up in maps 8 and I have a blast. Can't wait to transition to life and stop hearing that "you have no mana" msg.
@Graldaddy glad to see you enjoy it man!!
is resolute technique going to mess up the damage? but we dont really invest into crit so should be fine right?
prefer RT and you can get another aura and sabe mods instead of getting accuracy, idk if totems crit that much anyways. Comparing no RT and RT is huge dps gain.
Hmm wondering if using the idol ammy for an additional totem would hit harder than the plus 3 🤔
+ 3 hits way harder.. like very much so xD But uldurn idol amulet ( 1 extra totem) is lvl 24 item.. + 3 is lvl 60++ So yes, in the upcoming leveling guide it will definately feature as a piece of twink gear.
@ cool. Merry Christmas
Another good build for the best class!
Also where are you from? Your accent sounds really cool it feels like I'm listening to a dwarf from lord of the ring.
A dwarf from lord of the rings... hahahah Thats a first man, awesome.. i'm dutch
does increased area of effect for attacks increase totem dmg? if yes why? thx in advance for the answer
@@LuKanO84 the AOE is for coverage.. you sover the whole screen therefor target more enemies at once.. more clear, less chance of getting hit. Numerically, not more danage.. practically, especially in open maps, huge advantage
@@lytylisius ty man, i asked this because some nodes say increased area of effect and others say increased area of effect for attacks. so i'm a bit confused lol.... are they the same thing?
Hi Lyty, I would like to know do u have like a leveling guide from 1 - 31 with warrior? before switching to totems
@dRJRbGaming its the most requested question by far it seems.. i winged it, and it was slow and tortuous xd.. finding the right path and making a video on it, is next on my agenda mate
@@lytylisius thanks mate, will surely check it on since shockwave totem is my go to build in poe 1 and im soooo curious about this one :)
But what about jagged ground? Not gonna take advantage of that at all? Seems like you could be doing more then just dropping totems no?
"One button build" it's in the thumbnail... looking at other options for sure though. especially for bossing. but for 90% of gameplay, it is indeed, dropping totems and moving xD
Awesome build! Does Rage damage apply to totem? And does damage from passives like Feral Force or Bestial apply to Totem as well?
Hey mate, I'm finishing Act 2 and it's time for me to ascend. I know you're testing Warbringer. Do you have any additional thoughts as to which Ascendency is best?
Almost have the same build with a shield. It's great to see, bro!! Gonna have to mess around with the 2nd weap. I'm at like 30k dps with 2h and shield atm gonna have to get that regen up haha
Why not using resolute technique to solve accuracy since not really investing into crit? Also there is amulet with +1 limit so you could have 5 totem or 4 with another support gem. I was leveling with shockwave totem and jagged ground support is good when you have at least 3 totems placed.
@@damorpl what is the amulet's name?
@@lytylisius legacy of uldurn or something like that. btw what do you use in a 4 slot totem when you dont have 5link
@@lytylisius Idol of Uldurn is the amulet name
Do you think gemling legionaire is a valid alternative? As sw totem atk speed scales with levels and quality you could stack strenght and play with double 2h weapon with a wopping total of +15 level and +16% quality.
That mace is extremely rare to think it's a +7 melee but with a very low str requirement...
Its extremely rare now yes.. seems to be in high demand.. luckily for you, + 6 works just fine as does + 5.
if I switch over to this build at lvl 73, what lvl maps would I be able to clear easily? I feel like this build requires a lot of points that are far away and require a lot of travel. Which points should I prioritize getting if I'm only lvl 73?
Check out the tree section of this guide in the timeline.. it shows the priority of all nodes and sections of the tree, bit by bit.
As for maps, that depends on the gear u have at that lvl mate.. im doing t17-18s right now at lvl 85 ... the 1 death i had is in the video to xD.. gear and gem levels matter above all!
@@lytylisius Oh wow, I see. That sounds really good, I'm gonna try switching to this build now! Ty
@darkflame_reaper that low death count is as wabringer on my new video mate, my bad.. this Titan does far more damage, but is more susceptible to oneshots! (Getting one shot) still, powerful build if played right, safe as well.. in this video, check the "how to map safely" timeline section of the video for a demo
Have you timed the totem attack with attack speed on your weapon? Could be wrong but i believe it receives that stat as well.
it is possible to do this build on Warbringer?
yeah
poeguy has a guide
Thanks man, I really want to play this build but those jewels are a deal breaker in terms of budget lol Wish there was a better way to manage the casting costs.
The jewels are more so mandatory at lvl 39 gems.. realistically most people will use + 5 or + 5 weapons not +7.. + 5 is managable without those jewels.
@@lytylisius Don't play with my emotions.
@@duberdurm xD
@@lytylisius Hey there's a thread on the forums that might have some useful info, the title is "Totems made simple!"
Guess my question is will it one shot with a full game t15 maps ?
Thx for this build. How dontoi do for have +7 on melee on item ? You buy item on trade market ? How can we have more than +1 melee on item ^^ never see more than +1 so i miss something ^^ thx for your time sir.
Thanks for watching bud!! yes, buy from market.. go + 6 or so first.. +7 is wild pricey
@@lytylisius ok but have you seen item with +6 on melee drop? How people make for have +6 on melee ? With Wich orb ? Thx for your video sir.
what kind of budget would you need for this? some of those gear peices look tasty
Weapons are 1-2 divine orbs each, but the rest of the items you can get for less than 1 divine each.
What level would you recommend to start? I just made it to endgame level 65.

@lytylisius I only had the skill points properly, but then I converted it to your final build to see now that it's right at the beginning with damage - sad 🙈
im curious. is there any synergy with using volcanic fissure and having your totems slam them for extra aftershocks for single target or anything?
tried anything like that out?
@junk3996 i have not.. could be nice.. negates the idea of a 1 button build though.
But maybe when damage matters even more, like with pinacle bosses, it could be the way to go. Thanks for the suggestion mate!
@@lytylisius ya just while you're sitting around waiting for totems to dps a boss down, you could throw down an upheaval volcanic fissure. just not sure exaclty how the "aftershocks" scale from the fissures
if its from the volcanic fissure dmg (which wouldn't be good) or aftershock from the totem slam damage (which would be very very good)
its actually what i initially wanted to league start with, but i went warbringer to start. remade as titan and at that point abandoned totem idea until i saw they can work
@junk3996 oh they can work alright hahah.. thanks for the info man.. will check it out!
question about the weapon: is socketed soul core of Opiloti (15% chance to cause bleeding) will work with totems?
also why not using cannibalism support for additional HP recover?
Hi lytylisius! I really appreciate your video! This is exactly the warrior variant I would like to play myself. Thank you for your guide! I have a question. What is the best reward to choose in Act 3 for Servi? Will 25% mana regen somehow work with Blood Magic or not? What is better to choose, in your opinion? Thank you in advance for your answer.
mana regen wont work
@@lytylisius ok ty
great, great video!
Recoup Life should be good too? It may be easy to get from your tree and necklace. And why nbt Resolute Technique?
I don't see some of the support gems work with totem skill. Additional atack speed doesn't work and 40% additional attack area either.
The martial tempo works.. somehow it doesnt show it on the totem gem itself.. place 1 totem.. with and without the martial tempo.. if you have a sense of rythem, you'll see
@lytylisius I play on Xbox and there are hints on support gems what skills they work with. At least attack area is the same with and without gem. So, still confused
awsome guide!" many thx"! but where is the planner?! PLEASE!
Is this build also possible with warbringer?
If you choose Warbringer then you’ll have to go 1H and Shield otherwise the ascendancy nodes are wasted.

@@AA-BB you can go 2h+shield and get max block, probably more tankier and you can always and you should get a CLOAK OF FLAMES instead of rare armor.
@@AA-BByou can weapon swap from dual wield 2h when dropping the totems to active block on the second weapon set. I'm using a sceptre with shield on weapon set 2 for a more defensive playstyle.
Im playing on PS5. My levels to melee lvl dont count for the Schockwave totem. Onlly my levels from the Amulet count. Both weapons are not red and have +6 to melee lvls. Any ideas what the issue could be?
sadly no clue what that could be.. unless youre unable to wield them through hidden strength requirements because of giants blood.. i dont know
