Great build. Going to give it a try. Looking at the PoB do you need the Physical to lightning skill gem? Seems like you could use that spot for a decoy totem or something else that would be useful. Lightning Walker should make your wave of conviction do more lightning damage than fire by default yea? Anyways, thanks for the video!
Glad that you like the video. :D Removing the physical to lightning should works fine for the exposure, I was using it because sometime the mob has much higher lightning resistance which make WoC apply fire exposure instead, overall it should be fine to remove Phy to Lightning gem from the link. Decoy totem and culling strike should be a bonus to this build. I have yet to fully min max it as I am playing in SSF, so a lot of stuff was not accessible to me. Switching the wand to Apep Rage should give a huge dps boost.
Hi, there is updates to the build, which has significantly improve the build survivability. You can check the video description for the update link, which update #2 is the most tanky version of this build and deals ton 50% more damage than the build in this video. If you have good enough gear, you should have around 5k hp and 2k es plus 4.5k+ mana. So there are multiple defensive layer for this build: 1. 40% MoM from keystone and Hierophant ascendancy. 2. Fortify from shield charge for 30% less damage from hit. 3. Soul Tether gave you leech not removed at full life effect, thus your ES should always be full giving you around 10k ehp to prevent one shot from big hit. My newer update uses inpulsa to destroy porcupine corpse, and use glacing blow from the lethal pride jewel, so I have 75/50 block. I managed to craft a life recover on block on shield, so basically it is very tanky and hard to die. I haven't die with the build so far after switching to the glacing blow except accidentally shield charge into Sirus storm. If you still have issue surviving, you can post your character here and we can see what to improve.
For me the order is: Sign of Purpose -> Illuminated Devotion -> Divine Guidance -> Arcane Blessing You can take Arcane Blessing before Divine Guidance for elemental ailment avoidance first if you want to worry less about elemental ailments. Divine Guidance is more towards DPS and defensive boost. Never take Sanctuary of Thought because it will reduce your output DPS significantly due to reduce mana cost where this build is heavily depend on mana cost.

Hi I've never played a Hierophant so what order do you take the your ascendances
For me the order is: Sign of Purpose -> Illuminated Devotion -> Divine Guidance -> Arcane Blessing
You can take Arcane Blessing before Divine Guidance for elemental ailment avoidance first if you want to worry less about elemental ailments. Divine Guidance is more towards DPS and defensive boost. Never take Sanctuary of Thought because it will reduce your output DPS significantly due to reduce mana cost where this build is heavily depend on mana cost.
stick it on a totem to do atziri :)
I can already kill uber atziri with just some minor item swap and passive adjustment. Don't even need a totem for that.
Hi could i know more about this build
You can try to import the PoB link I include in the video description.
