This build is the strongest build I've used with Leafmane and Packler Vindicator. I'm using 40 level LT and PS, currently at level 66 and melting everything in my path. Many thanks for the tip!
FYI, Leaving Coven Refuse along the southern border I got 3 Leavmane drops from on group of mobs. Easiest build so far. Level 51 in less than a week. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge, AL!
Thanks for the comment, great to hear you’re enjoying the build. That route from Coven to Ancient Grover along the bottom of that map area is a great farming route for those items 👊🙂
Just found your inquisitor/shaman with concentration on exclusive censure and the seal. It was the easiest I've ever had it! I was actually not using Wend. totem because I forgot I had it! Have not gotten the second totem type (yet) and I have a couple high level leafmanes (too high to use yet) and I have not found Packler. I used to think I had to have over a thousand points in physique and 10s of thousands in DPS and carry either a two-handed or a shield, but I am carrying around a wand and a book (what a nerd)! lol And I only have like a thousand DPS, but I burn everything down! I run in and leap into the midst of the enemies and have actually had a few close calls with not being able to turn on seal and w. totem immediately. lol Thanks so much for your hard work! mike w.
I just had to come here and comment this! I just hit the leafmane trophy jackpot. At least, I think I did. Demonic leafmane trophy of Decay +232% Vitality Damage +78% Chaos Damage +225 Vitality Decay 48% Elemental Damage converted to Vitality Damage +5% Offensive Ability +12% Casting Speed +17% Skill Cooldown Reduction And something useless, +2 to Sigil of Consumption The rest of the stats are base stats I think. I farmed this shit for way too long, and I finally feel like it paid off
I'm wondering what would happen if you ran this with occultist with the modifier on bloody pox that is usually only used for retal builds? I had a build that I really enjoyed with that modifier but after normal the damage drops off extremely hard, so maybe this is the answer to the damage drop off.
Yeah, once the basic "one-skill Inquisitor" is set up, there are loads of vitality damage options comboing with other masteries. As a long-time fan of Bloody Pox, I'd give that a thumbs-up without even trying it.
Yeah, that's true but I'm always trying to post information that works for 100% of cases (trying not to confuse new players!), so for example if you want to check damage on a passive (that isn't on skill bar at all) you can use the same method I mention in the video. Hope you like the Leafmane+Seal combo!
Merits. These are obtained by a character that reaches conclave of the three in elite/ultimate and placed in stash to be used on a new character. I show it on screen near the start of the video. 2:47
Thanks, glad you like it! I'm always trying to find damage conversions that don't rely on endgame items and also scale through the three difficulties. I've used the leafmane trophy before (through to endgame) so I know it's solid.
no accusation or finger point...just pure curiosity. How did you get a level 20 Leafmane Trophy? TL;DR version I get you had another character get it...but what was that build. How'd you get to Ugdenbog(sp?) at such a low level or get it to drop at such a low level? Presume (rightly so) I know nothing about this game even though I have all the DLC lol. Sorry for all the hand holding request...but this build looks like fun to me. Truth is I bought the game back in the day but just got burned out on shitty builds and then looking to the internet for better build but all of them (back then) required 3 set pieces of this and two set of that etc. and I burned out again. I always planed to come back to the game before now'ish and so bought the DLC as they came out but really haven't played with much of them. Thank you very much in advance.
You can’t get it from Ugdenbog at low level. You either have to run Shattered Realm on a low-level character until a level 20 version drops, or do what I did - get lucky ages ago when a low-level Leafmane enemy spawned from the totem in the house cellar just near the Burrwitch Village rift. Otherwise no, you can’t get one. I’ve been asked this in several comments already and I always apologise because using the level 20 item is misleading. Sorry.
If you want a fun build that does insane damage early on and is very easy to gear-up, have a look at the recent “one-shot bosses” build videos on my channel. Edit - link to early levelling vid added - ua-cam.com/video/3rS5C1fqJGY/v-deo.html
@@Arcadelife1 Thank you for reply and info. No need for apologies imho. The character is, in so far, fun w/o it. I just realized by the time I get over to Ugden I'd be in my 40's and it would be higher than 20. So I racked my tiny brain trying to figure out how and fell short...so then asked lol.
@@Arcadelife1 Yeah, gotta admit...really want to play the other build..but have been doing this one-shot build. Figured I am gonna need a main to unlock stuff to make the other builds life easier. =D Keep up the great content and thank you.
@@Cosmic_Yak I should have mentioned merits - unlock all Normal rifts - means you can get over to Ugdenbog whenever you want, start farming for the Leafmane Trophy (or buy from shop in Ancient Grove) hoping for a level 35 item drop, which is the lowest you will get one there.
Could explain how you got the Leamane Trophy & area to be *Level 20, I used the Champion Merit on a level 15 & level 1 character but the Ugdenbog Area is level 35+ monsters and drops.
Thanks for the comment. Someone else asked this and the answer is I (long ago) farmed a totem in a cellar near Burrwitch Village on a character that was lower than level 20. The totem occasionally spawns leafmane enemies. It was a massive grind and I wouldn’t recommend doing it. If you play through the game ‘normally’ without merits, the leafmane trophies in Ugdenbog will be in the right level range, but you won’t get a level 20 item there. As with the other guy who asked the same question, I’m really sorry you wasted time trying to get the lower level item and I should have mentioned it in the video but I had the item in stash and started using it without thinking, until the first person asked how I got it.
@@Arcadelife1 Thanks for your quick reply and clearing that up. Its ok, your build is still a blast to play I really like it. I'm trying both version your made with Shaman & Necro secondary. Currently using the Shaman.. Next will be the Necro. Thanks for making a fun build for everyone.
@@Arcadelife1 i wanted to ask (to try to understand) i m playing lighting electrocute damage and is working very well atm lev30 ...i still dont get but vindigo totem why we prioritize vitality damage,,, all the tooltip mention other damages... could you explain me?
@@mariobraghieri9249 The basic skill Wendigo Totem deals vitality damage and vitality decay (the damage over time version of vitality damage). The Blood Pact node of the skill buffs attacks that deal vitality damage (including the totem itself) and attacks that deal bleeding damage. It does not add any flat bleeding damage, it just increases (percentage) the damage done by any attacks you use that deal bleeding damage. Wendigo Totem (without any damage conversion from gear) does not directly synergise with lightning attacks. Many masteries have skills that deal different damage types and do not directly synergise with each other. Example - Necro has aether, cold and vitality damage skills, and pets. Nightblade has cold, piercing and acid damage. Don’t assume that just because a mastery has a number of skills that all these skills work together by default.
@@Arcadelife1 i guess i need some more levels to see the totem overcome the storm box damage I am using now. the i will switch to vitality damage. wendigo and seal are anyway great for survivability thanks
Don't forget the seal is also giving you flat damage reduction, which is amazing on top of all the leech. This is a build I'd consider using haunt even though you're not playing arcanist or doing any of their abilities because it offers lowers enemy life leech resistance. But the playstyle kind of makes me want to do it with occultist instead of shaman to do sigil an seal on top of each other, one with bat and the other with windago lol. Have WoP and curse of weakness just for rr and possession plus seal dr and all that life leech would be nasty.
Yeah, spot-on. I forgot to mention the damage reduction (elemental resistance is crazy) on the seal in all the excitement. All those other suggestions you make about alternative mastery combos, yeah it's got loads of potential - the apostate pistol build I did (using the leafmane trophy and seal) is all kinds of fun.
@@Arcadelife1 I'm trying to finish editing this novel now that I've finished what I wanted to in D2R, but the poe announcement and your videos on grim dawn are distracting me lol Been thinking about making a bleed character, but not sure what masteries or how I want to put it together right now.
@@travissullivan6575 Nice one - I’ve got two ‘not quite finished’ novels on the go at the moment. I actually love editing, I’m probably some kind of crazy person. Regarding bleed builds, I had fun with bleed and eye of reckoning - I had that MI shield from the bone boss in east march. Never really felt strong enough but it was a laugh.
@@Arcadelife1 Yeah, I was looking at that. Yeah, editing is my least favorite part. I basically wrote 3 novels before I started to edit this one (though it was being reviewed while writing it), but it just takes so much energy to edit v write for me. Of the 150k words, I've only got like 25k edited after a month lol. oof.
Hi! I thought this seemed like a fun thing to try. I noted your Leafmane Trophy was Level 20 and thought i could use my Level 22 Character to give it a go. Pah! You must have some of the luckiest RNG going, after about 90 minutes of trying i still hadn't got one to drop. I also noticed that the monsters (and therefore the things they did drop) were all like Level 32 or higher, upto level 40 i think. So, my question is: how and where on earth did you get that Level 20 Leafmane? I did check the Blacksmith, to see if it was Craftable, but if there is a Blueprint for one, i don't have it. And yes! i did die several times during my attempts hahaha!
Thanks for the comment. Someone else asked this and the answer is I (long ago) farmed a totem in a cellar near Burrwitch Village on a character that was lower than level 20.

@@Arcadelife1 Hey! no worries. That was a cool drop you got. I did go back for another try but with my Level 84 Commando and .. finally .. one did drop for me. Same type as you got, 'Subjugator's Leafmane Trophy of Decay' but of course it was a Level 84 item. So if i ever want to use it, i have a bit of work to do hahaha!
@@Arcadelife1 Thanks. I actually went back to the same place with my Level 37 Inquisitor and picked up a few Level 35/40 ones. Spent a few days faffing around .. i'm still comparitively new at this game, just been following Guides and stuff on UA-cam. Trying different Classes / Skills, some i liked others just didn't suit my play style / ability .. i don't don't cope well with Builds requiring multiple button mashing, especially if those buttons need to be pressed in the 'correct' order. Anyway, i also got myself a couple of Level 40 Packla's Skins and a Blugrug's Plagued Edge .. but that was Level 70 obtained with my Level 78 Elementalist. I couldn't work out how or even if it is possible to get a Level 40 one. Don't think i could reach the area with a Character only at Level 40-ish .. i'd need to have completed quite a bit of the Main Quest Line even with using a Merit? I mean, i can reach Steelcap Rift but can't gain access to the building that leads to the Swelling Depths. I did manage to work my way (on foot) 'backwards' and ended up at Lone Watch .. that was quite fun, I even did the Rift thing in that large field (can't remember the name of it) and freed those prisoners .. i was supposed to free them right? or should i have killed them? haha! Anyway, now i need to get back to the Inquisitor Seal thing, gonna need to speak with the Spirit Guide and redo some Skill and Devotion Points. Cheers for all that you do on here, great stuff!
0:43 “The Leafmane Trophy drops in Ugdenbog from Leafmane Alphas … etc.” Or check the Grimtools item link in the description and look at the spawn locations for any of the monsters that drop it.
My question is how did you get such a low level trophy? Was it a crafted item? I went to Ugdenbog with a level 21 Inq and they only dropped level 35. I've been beating my head against the screen trying to get ANYTHING other than a level 35. It's maddening.
Ok you get the bonus prize because I was wondering if anyone would get stuck trying to get the level 20 item in Ugdenbog. The thing is, well, I had to farm the totem that spawns in mountain deeps (on a character around level 11-15) to get the random leafmane enemy from that totem to be a low enough level to drop the level 20 item. I didn’t even do this recently, I’ve had the item in storage ever since because I knew it would be useful. All I can do is apologise - I didn’t even think this would be an issue because most players (definitely new players) would be a high enough level in Ugdenbog that the level 35 item would be fine. I’m sorry if you wasted time on this, makes me feel like a proper dick to be honest, even though it wasn’t deliberate ‘lying’ - sorry!
@@Arcadelife1 No worries. I was just curious, I wanted to use it on my level 21 Inquisitors. I used GD Defiler to make 10 copies of my Inquisitor to mess with. I play with my brother that lives 300 miles away and wanted to use this build from the start of our "After Krieg" players. Got tired of going through Act 1 over and over. I just tried to craft one with the blacksmith and blew through 600 scrap. lol Thanks for the clarification. Is it still possible to farm the totem? btw, it's loads of fun. Laughing.
@@jasonbarrish9841 What are you trying to craft at the blacksmith? The Leafmane Trophy is a monster infrequent that only drops from certain Leafmane enemies - it can't be crafted at all. I'm crying over that 600 scrap you used up...
@@Arcadelife1 Brainfart. Oh well, I wasn't thinking. I'm still enjoying the build. I just wanted to be able to use it earlier. Just had a stroll through Mountain Deeps for a try, but no totem spawned. Ah, it would be nice but I can survive on Word until level 35. I still consider myself a noob at less than 300 hours of gameplay. Also, absolutely lost it watching the Spit in my corpse short. Made your comment into a Notification sound on my phone. lmao
@@jasonbarrish9841 Yeah, the totem in Mountain Deeps is random and the Leafmane is not always part of the group that spawns, so it's a bit of a chore to farm it. Apparently there's a chance of a low level Leafmane enemy spawning at a totem in Flooded Cellar near Burrwitch Village rift but I've never seen one appear in there. Glad you liked that Elden Ring vid, it made me laugh too.....
I wonder if using the (admittedly high level) items that can convert the vitality (from wendigo) into Fire will let you use the various synergies that will reduce enemy fire resist, eg: from Demolitionist. Guess it's between converting (others) into vitality and boosting vitality, or converting the vitality into something like fire and boosting the fire normally. There's a nice pistol that does vitality->fire conversion, gives bonuses to fire damage and of course you can dual-wield them
Yes, that would work. There are some basic ‘rules’ around damage conversion that should make this easy to understand: 1 - damage can only be converted once. Example - if a percentage of vitality damage is converted to fire damage, that fire damage cannot be subsequently converted to anything else. 2 - buffs to a damage type (buffs from other skills, from gear, from devotions) are applied AFTER all conversions have been applied. So if you convert vitality to fire, the fire damage will be affected by buffs, not the original vitality damage value.
Love it mate, that setup melts enemies big time!
Thanks buddy!
This build is the strongest build I've used with Leafmane and Packler Vindicator. I'm using 40 level LT and PS, currently at level 66 and melting everything in my path. Many thanks for the tip!

That route from Coven to Ancient Grover along the bottom of that map area is a great farming route for those items 👊🙂
The title got me straight away mate! Cheers again for all the vids
Yeah, I have to be careful with titles - got to avoid clickbait, and this item/skill combo delivers as promised.
Just found your inquisitor/shaman with concentration on exclusive censure and the seal. It was the easiest I've ever had it! I was actually not using Wend. totem because I forgot I had it! Have not gotten the second totem type (yet) and I have a couple high level leafmanes (too high to use yet) and I have not found Packler.

I run in and leap into the midst of the enemies and have actually had a few close calls with not being able to turn on seal and w. totem immediately. lol
Thanks so much for your hard work!

I just had to come here and comment this! I just hit the leafmane trophy jackpot.
At least, I think I did.
Demonic leafmane trophy of Decay
+232% Vitality Damage
+78% Chaos Damage
+225 Vitality Decay
48% Elemental Damage converted to Vitality Damage
+5% Offensive Ability
+12% Casting Speed
+17% Skill Cooldown Reduction
And something useless, +2 to Sigil of Consumption
The rest of the stats are base stats I think.
I farmed this shit for way too long, and I finally feel like it paid off
Gratz!
Again, you show off another build that I want to try. Guess I'll have to put off playing Elden Ring for another couple of months.
I'm wondering what would happen if you ran this with occultist with the modifier on bloody pox that is usually only used for retal builds? I had a build that I really enjoyed with that modifier but after normal the damage drops off extremely hard, so maybe this is the answer to the damage drop off.

Another great video! Do proc skills scale and change with conversions and modifications from gear etc?
You can check damage quicker by hovering over the skill on the Cast bar
Yeah, that's true but I'm always trying to post information that works for 100% of cases (trying not to confuse new players!), so for example if you want to check damage on a passive (that isn't on skill bar at all) you can use the same method I mention in the video. Hope you like the Leafmane+Seal combo!

I didn’t even do this recently, I’ve had the item in storage ever since because I knew it would be useful. All I can do is apologise - I didn’t even think this would be an issue because most players (definitely new players) would be a high enough level in Ugdenbog that the level 35 item would be fine. I’m sorry if you wasted time on this, makes me feel like a proper dick to be honest, even though it wasn’t deliberate ‘lying’ - sorry!
@@Arcadelife1 No worries. I was just curious, I wanted to use it on my level 21 Inquisitors. I used GD Defiler to make 10 copies of my Inquisitor to mess with. I play with my brother that lives 300 miles away and wanted to use this build from the start of our "After Krieg" players. Got tired of going through Act 1 over and over. I just tried to craft one with the blacksmith and blew through 600 scrap. lol Thanks for the clarification. Is it still possible to farm the totem? btw, it's loads of fun. Laughing.
@@jasonbarrish9841 What are you trying to craft at the blacksmith? The Leafmane Trophy is a monster infrequent that only drops from certain Leafmane enemies - it can't be crafted at all. I'm crying over that 600 scrap you used up...
@@Arcadelife1 Brainfart. Oh well, I wasn't thinking. I'm still enjoying the build. I just wanted to be able to use it earlier. Just had a stroll through Mountain Deeps for a try, but no totem spawned. Ah, it would be nice but I can survive on Word until level 35. I still consider myself a noob at less than 300 hours of gameplay. Also, absolutely lost it watching the Spit in my corpse short. Made your comment into a Notification sound on my phone. lmao
@@jasonbarrish9841 Yeah, the totem in Mountain Deeps is random and the Leafmane is not always part of the group that spawns, so it's a bit of a chore to farm it. Apparently there's a chance of a low level Leafmane enemy spawning at a totem in Flooded Cellar near Burrwitch Village rift but I've never seen one appear in there.
Glad you liked that Elden Ring vid, it made me laugh too.....
I wonder if using the (admittedly high level) items that can convert the vitality (from wendigo) into Fire will let you use the various synergies that will reduce enemy fire resist, eg: from Demolitionist.
Guess it's between converting (others) into vitality and boosting vitality, or converting the vitality into something like fire and boosting the fire normally. There's a nice pistol that does vitality->fire conversion, gives bonuses to fire damage and of course you can dual-wield them
Yes, that would work. There are some basic ‘rules’ around damage conversion that should make this easy to understand:
1 - damage can only be converted once. Example - if a percentage of vitality damage is converted to fire damage, that fire damage cannot be subsequently converted to anything else.
2 - buffs to a damage type (buffs from other skills, from gear, from devotions) are applied AFTER all conversions have been applied. So if you convert vitality to fire, the fire damage will be affected by buffs, not the original vitality damage value.
