Been playing this game on/off for 10 years now (Open Beta) and Totem Builds are my all time favorite. Wallach's FP Totem was my favorite build for a long time. There's just something cool (pun intended) about freezing the screen with waves of frost. Even after a decade of playing I still like to use guides. This guide is now my league go-to. Thanks for the hard work.
@@thomasklein1527 i had seen that, but he removes it later in the build, and does that 102% reduced deal with the 80% more, i guess i never dived into the differences in those, as to negating one entirely does it pretty much negate the other. either way, thank you for the info.
I started this after my boneshatter starter. I was able to get a lot of this gear before I rolled the character. I've never played a more powerful build to date. It does die when I pull ahead of my totems...but I WASTED "The Formed" fight and I've never even attempted it before. I don't even have the gloves or helm enchant yet, sitting around 11m DPS on bosses. Everything you said is not bait and its the real deal. Thanks for the guide...i'm having a blast with it.
This build has carried me to the end game pinnacle for the first time ever. I have no time to play like 100s of hrs each league. This beauty will let you crush bosses with ease and get this sweet jouice of them. I made some small modifications though, as I prefer to play semi "glass cannon" to reach easier lvl 100. This is my start build this league too. Ez money.
Biggest impact was use of mastery for totems to taunt enemies right after deploy. Also played with Petrified Blood and Vitality. DPS in this build is overkill anyway.
For atlas I switched a lot, because this build gives so much power to try anything. First I did a lot of bossing and map drops. I tried it with max juicing. Most benefits came from Altars. I even got drop of Mageblood. Juicing is a key. I tried EVRYTHING on atlas. Just play what you like most. Build will sustain the income.
@@Feracitus I tried bossing but it was pretty boring so I just ended doing Sanctum 24/7 pretty much. But bosses work for sure, uber eater/exarch was easy when you got enough dmg, sold many omnis/ashes/jewels
@@Gailon1000 It might feel a bit iffy for mapping when you have bad gear, but it gets much better when you get Heatshiver and like 5-10 div items in general. It clears the screen really fast after that and everything gets frozen so very rarely you get hit with anything. Still, I think it's relatively fast for normal mapping and works for doing stuff like expedition/essences etc, but if you start juicing your map with stuff like beyond and delirium, you will die even if you put 200 divines into this character. It's just not built for that kind of content. Also, delve is pretty much not a option for this build.
Ye this is this the one.. did this as my second in sanctum, after a failed starter, got to lvl 95.. made a new record of 28 challanges.. 385 deaths not even close to min/maxed but killed bosses I never killed before.. thank you for the guide, POB, filter and chrome app.. makes it easy and I will go for more this league
@@VonVikton No thank you, I don't know the boss-fight's well and I do not have the best cpu so this is the reason for most of the death's.. I can do better I think :-)
2 of the masteries are out of date on the pob because they got deleted, the 15% all res elemental mastery no longer exists and instead its chosen a random bad one and also the 10% more life 10% less life recovery mastery got deleted so its chosen the more max life if you have all 6 life masteries instead, but otherwise great guide! (also the 1% spell damage per 16 int mastery is gone so you cant allocate that while leveling either). It just chooses those random masteries whenever you convert the tree to 3.21 in pob because the old ones dont exist anymore.
@@jonesen4395 It may have been recorded the moment the patch notes came out after the announcement livestream, so before pob got the new skill tree. At least all 3 of those masteries aren't needed at all in the endgame skill tree so you can just skip them and save 3 skill points to put wherever you want. I guess getting res cap will be a bit harder without the all res one, especially when you swap to using Annihilating Light in the endgame setup.
Haha I feel so lucky, I've been looking through all the changes and I thought to myself "hmm these seem really good for Hierophant fp/is totems" figured I'd check to see if there's any remotely up to date guides on it and low and behold one of my favourite build guide writers has made one! Thank you for making me not have to think too much about my starter. One note on the cost, I'm like 90% confident that ggg are going to rebalance the rarity of heat shiver and feel like it could easily be a multi divine unique this league so might have to wait a little bit on that part for some people.
A few weeks ago I saw a Reddit post on your build, there were many negative messages (Equipment too expensive, no defense you will die several times per map, your builds are not very good etc) so I skipped because I'm not very good at the game, I didn't want to take the risk of trying it. Several weeks after playing EA, RF, AW, I decided to give it a try. And... The build is fanstatic! I think this is my favorite build so far, it works great on console. The DPS is present with equipment relatively easy to obtain (the Xbox market is almost non-existent in terms of good rare, it's semi-SSF) You are squishy but you have the advantage of freezing enemies, in addition to having a good DPS (I play with two Wands). If you have a cautious playstyle (No Flame Dash spamming in groups of enemies) this is really great and not really a problem. I played in T15 with 4 links, now I'm very comfortable in T16 with 5 links. Thanks for your guide!
That’s awesome to hear I’m glad you’re enjoying the build! Also great feedback I wish people wouldn’t worry so much how squishy it is when we freeze everything and have so much dmg
Nice guide, but you should take into account that Ranger is not getting Pierce from the chest before Hillock in 3.21, that one is going to be Momentum Support. Pierce will be obtained from Nessa as a reward from Mercy Mission.
Gongrats man. I try this build as a second just to kill bosses, but i start clearin t16 alch maps at lvl 75 with 5c wands and a tabula. Instaface all my labs and now i just buy some cluster and a 6l Soul mantle for extra fun. If you are a new player this is a solid build.
Played your build last league and pumped a few hundred divines into it and it is indeed powerful. One main problem I never seemed to fix was running Searing Exarch alters. Just getting beamed in the face by meteors or the degens always seemd to destroy me.
been searching for a nasty totem build to start with! this is beyond that! wow! you never let us down von vikton! LOVE all your builds! thanks for another great one!
ran this but with only 20 div budget, crafted most of my gear and got lucky with a blizzard crown. best version of the build i've tried. i'm excited what we can do with annihilating light for crucible
Fav build of all the is Eternity shroud WO during Synth league. Tried your build (this build) last league start and it was the best league start I've had since legion. Finished the atlast and all stones in 5days
I was having trouble choosing my league starter after a few leagues off. Couldn't decide between a miner or totem. Your dedication to your videos chose for me. And got me subbed in the process. Great guide and effort, thanks a lot !
Thx good Sir! My 1st build to get to Ubers was a ball lightning Hiero back in 3.15, so that still has a special place in my heart. Didn’t get to play your build in 3.20, got lost in maxing a poison srs’er (yes, I’m a meta slave), this league is gonna be the one. Have a great league gamer!
Don't get baited guys, 20mil dps is ONLY under perfect condition, if the boss doesnt move and stands 2x nearbys away for all proj to turn into 2nd phase. I tried this build last league and the prices for the first 2 weeks: 6L Soul Mantle ~ 5 Divines Coward's Legacy ~ 6 Divines Rain of Splinters ~ 8 Divines Blizzard Crown + Ice spear enchant ~ 12 Divines Woke Greater Multi Proj ~ 18 Divines And since its super glasscannon you highly rely on damage to oneshot everything before it touches you. But if you are too poor, well tough luck.
I’m thinking about starting this again since some of the changes coming in Crucible seemed exciting. This would be my favorite build of all time since it is the only build I have revisited like 6 times now. I just love totems in all ways and the freeze is just too good. Depending on league factors you can easily do all content for 10-40divines comfortably. The freeze tank is not to be underestimated. I have not checked the pob but 50% proj speed on dagger mastery could be cool for mapping if reachable. This was literally the first build I ever did all content with so it will always be special to me. Glad you are keeping the updates coming. Edit: this build also leaves plenty of room for adjustment based on preferences. I can confirm most deaths are actually caused by bad flame dashing 😂 And currency wise depending on your setup usually only cowards might be expensive if more builds focus on using it, soul mantle is usually so cheap that even a nice corrupt isn’t too horrible.
Damn, I was going for EA or TR, you have changed my mind, with 3k damage, freezing the whole universe sounds amazing. And you can do that with even low budget for the league start. Also amazing guide. Already setup the trading tool...
Sincerely, thank you, Von Vikton. Without your guides I wouldn't bother even playing PoE, because of how much knowledge you need to set up builds. 600 hours into the game, I still am a beginner in regards to builds.
The build i enjoyed the most was an Ice Nova Frostbolt with Pledge of Hands back in Ritual and last league i played your build (not as a league start tho) but it was very smooth and i'll league start with it this time so thanks for the update !
Another solid build guide from you. My all time build was either Nightblade Synd Ops, aurabot carrion golems, or 3.20 Doomblast. I’d probably go in that order tbh.
My ABSOLUTE favorite build of all time has to be Akane's MoM Indigon Miner. That was so much fun. Second favorite though has to be your mage skeletons and third would be EK Ignite.
I swaped to this last league, and actualy killed everything in the game, which was my 1st ever. But i was abusing totems killing uber bosses while i am dead.. which is now fixed.. So i got a mixed feeling about killing ubers again with this.. But i am just bad at dodging mechanics :D Anyway good build and great guide. edit: On your endgame gear, u dont have curse imunity, when removing the kikazaru, in 3.20 i went for sublime vision, but that is mighty expensive
MAGE SKELLIES!!! Your build guide got me invested in this game, I had just did my first char and followed a guide note I didnt know there was a difference regarding league start and what not. Followed some cool looking CwC assissn lol what a disasetar but your mage skellies guide allowed me to have agood game and now I am addicted. Now I am not sure if I should thank you or be upset cause this game is all I think about lol.
Tried this in 3.20. It erased Sanctrum like if it was nothing, almost did a no hit with it but I'm too lazy to dodge :D. I went 5 ways rota to get to 100 so I won't be bothered with deaths and farmed whatever content I wanted with ease. The only content I didn't try because I knew it'd be painful was simulacrum but maybe it would've worked with it. all in all great build great guide thanks a lot.
Powerfull build. Why I wont play it again: wasnt fun to die multiple times in every map to everything. Freeze everthing? You must have some hidden magic mojo for that ...
I won't start as a Totem Hierophant but the video was informative anyway. Learned sth about new Arcane Surge and early wand crafting after piety - so thank you!
nice guide i might try it the dark pact totem build .malthefications but i tweeked it adding 3 more clusters 1 large 2 medium,on ps4 was my favorite build its why i quit playing they nerfed it it was broken op i never saw shaper cast a spell until i did a 4 man carry for the take no damage achievement i shouldnt of shown anyone
Going to give this build a go. This league mechanic is brutal and this looks like it could handle it with ease! My favorite build of all time has to be the classic herald of thunder autobomber. Nothing beats just running around and clearing the screen.
idk man I am 1.5 divines into the build and it seems like the new content can just delete the totems as soon as you place them. mapping wise, it's going well though.
Hi bro, nice video!, A question... Boneshatter Jugg is good for Heist in league starter? or u have other recomendation for Heist? (tank build pls) Thanks!
I played this build two leagues in a row pre it getting nerfed by 60%. Its great and freezing the whole screen and doing DPS. Standard entry price of 5-10 Divines gets you most of the way there but the build has ZERO defense. At all. You will die, and die often. No QOL either as ailments are a problem. Just a heads up for those reading this.
Ran this as a SSF build last season, got further along than I had ever before --- not quite to the full end-game, but close. L91 was my highest level SSF ever. Got a bit lucky getting a 5-link soulmantle relatively early. Only real thing I never got was the anathema ring, which did limit me a bit, but still, very happy with how the build played out. Going to try it again, maybe this season w/o the SSF tag, maybe with again.
So you just started SSF and hoped to find a Soul Mantle along the way? That seems risky since it seems like the build basically requires it. I'm a SSF player and I'm not sure if I want to play this because I don't currently have a Soul Mantle.
Yeah it’s ezpz to get going and scales incredibly well with investment. You could use it to make some easy currency then play whatever new fancy build you want =}
@@VonVikton I like the idea of sticking with the totem variant and seeing how far I can push it. Cast on Crit builds are fun, but I spent more time trying to build it and crafting gear than actually playing it 😆
@Von Vikton it looks like you only have 30% curse reduction in "endgame" item setup there probably old setup for bugged mantle, might want to fix that Also might want to consider anomalous faster projectiles, as it should now be essentially a 60% damage multiplier for bossing / free nimis. (And up to 100% damage multiplier if slotted into diala's malefaction, which could make soul mantle obsolete)
Just wanted to come back here and say im loving this build. My best league starter so far (only a few seasons under my belt but still). Still leveling gems and working on 6 linking the soul mantle but the dps is great. Thanks for the build! (also very surprised at how easy it was to become curse immune)
@@wallacelossio1354 Use the yugul pantheon for 30% curse resist. Then you also need to use imbued catalyst (obtained from metamorphs) to increase the caster mod on the ring in the build guide (kikazaru). Hope that helps
Hey cool guide thx - Guide states to: "Mule on a ranger for Pierce (get in the chest on way to Hillock) and Sniper's Mark (Breaking Some Eggs Quest at level 4)" I get the Pierce, but as I see it, Snipers Mark its only obtainable as an Act 3 quest(With the ranger)? I dont get the choice doing the Egg quest. Am I missing something? Ive returned to PoE after years of absence... so much info to catch up on :) Gonna start 3.21 with this build.
Ill will try this, build it a bit tanky, may it works and my fav build of all time is really wallchas freezing pulse totems and also explosive Arrow totems
we get it from Mercy mission now, maybe a 3 min difference and u get an extra quicksilver, we're already going for breaking some egg for Sniper's mark anyway
Definitely starting this now since I noticed that some "difficult" items aren't even used anymore, gearing early game is ridiculously simple now. Depending on which way one goes even later game items are stupidly simple. Cowards will be the only thing to chase and with the atlas it should be simple enough to get with some mapping if the Alva Temple boss rng is super unlucky. Maybe the blizz crown with enchant will be tricky, don't know but don't care either way. Anathema - we will see but can't be worse than the old rain of splinters. A couple of questions from my side: - Why is the new life mastery allocated 10% more max life if you have at least 6 life masteries allocated - how is this being counted? Maybe I missed something or some definition somewhere but I am not seeing 6 masteries. - Your thoughts on progressing towards cold mastery inc dmg taken based on freeze duration towards lvl 100? Would this work on bosses since freeze was buffed a while back? Looking forward to your endgame version for crucible and what we can do with the the new trees (shield / Staff etc.) - For QoL I would probably go for FP speed for mapping on the helmet enchant, for most normal bosses you don't even need the additional proj for Ice Spear - Ubers not counted, would definitely add this there. - Looking forward to messing with An. Light / Dual Wand / Shield Setups with all the new possibilities (haven't played this in 2 leagues) -thanks for the inspiration, checked out your Sanctum stuff.
Build is squi.... It is. But I follow this guy builds, they works as hell. With this build I was first time ever boss killer service provide. Easy buys build.
If when you max out the crucible on a T16 100%+IQ map and the mobs end up being as strong as 100% delirium or more, then I wish everyone good luck with the second character.
START --------------------------- Mule on a ranger for Pierce (get in the chest on way to Hillock) and Sniper's Mark (Breaking Some Eggs Quest at level 4) / Sniper's Mark getting in 3 act
Are you not freezing bosses with this? If so, wouldnt the new cold mastery be hella worth it? Also, your endgame items don't include any reduced curse effect, are you planning on just using pantheon and thats it?
Hey Von, been looking at this, and it seems very fun. Always wanted to do a fun totem build. One question though, doing a "test" leveling run in standard rn, and I noticed this in the guide. make your 2 scepters at level 20 Use Essence of Woe on a Spiraled Wand and then use 4 transmutes to craft flat lightning dmg to spells These seem to conflict. Should I be saving the Woe for the wands, or using them on the sceptre's? Thanks for the great guide as always.
Followed your guide last league and had a blast, can't find any reason to try something different this one! Thanks for the update and may the loot gods be with you this weekend! :)
My most successfull Build was a Dex Stacking Ballista. Downed all Ubers last League for the first time ever. With "leveling gear" focused more on Defence than Damage I got to level 98 aswell on a more Glasscannon side of build. Ok, for Uber Eater I needed the tanky Impending Doom build to get him. Think I'll try your build aswell. If it is not my Playstile with the flashy Freezing Pulse, I can transform back to Dex Stacker. :)
Heatshiver might be very expensive early in the next league. First of all there's a high chance it's more rare now according to patch notes. Also every single bow build will want to buy it - and it seems bow starters will be the majority of people.
Under Act 3 in the levelling guide you put: GBB (optional) - Charged Mines / Wave of Conviction / Swift Assembly But how does this make sense, these skills dont work with Wave of Conviction, were you meant to put something else here? It also is useless if you have Ancestral Bond so I assume you were meant to put a trap skill here? Also you put Flame wall as a melee gem colour when I assume its meant to be blue?

Hey man what atlas tree did you focus on totem build ? Thanks !
What changes did you make ? Have a pob of that char ?
Biggest impact was use of mastery for totems to taunt enemies right after deploy. Also played with Petrified Blood and Vitality. DPS in this build is overkill anyway.
What did you farm? I am thinking about starting with this build also, but I dont know what to farm

Don't get baited guys, 20mil dps is ONLY under perfect condition, if the boss doesnt move and stands 2x nearbys away for all proj to turn into 2nd phase.
I tried this build last league and the prices for the first 2 weeks:
6L Soul Mantle ~ 5 Divines
Coward's Legacy ~ 6 Divines
Rain of Splinters ~ 8 Divines
Blizzard Crown + Ice spear enchant ~ 12 Divines
Woke Greater Multi Proj ~ 18 Divines
And since its super glasscannon you highly rely on damage to oneshot everything before it touches you. But if you are too poor, well tough luck.

I played this build last league and it's been amazing! So I'll go for it once more.
Only downside: my lack of skill! 😆
The build i enjoyed the most was an Ice Nova Frostbolt with Pledge of Hands back in Ritual and last league i played your build (not as a league start tho) but it was very smooth and i'll league start with it this time so thanks for the update !
Another solid build guide from you. My all time build was either Nightblade Synd Ops, aurabot carrion golems, or 3.20 Doomblast. I’d probably go in that order tbh.
one of the best and most detailed build for totems . ty for your time creating this . cheers
jumping back into poe after a long time, cannot wait to play this build! thanks for the awesome guide!
My ABSOLUTE favorite build of all time has to be Akane's MoM Indigon Miner. That was so much fun. Second favorite though has to be your mage skeletons and third would be EK Ignite.
Solid list actually. Man I miss the mom miner
Thanks Vikton for those awesome guides!
You just catapulted yourself into my top3!
Thank you for this crazy build, your guide let me teleport to the maps and now its pure fun.
I swaped to this last league, and actualy killed everything in the game, which was my 1st ever. But i was abusing totems killing uber bosses while i am dead.. which is now fixed.. So i got a mixed feeling about killing ubers again with this.. But i am just bad at dodging mechanics :D
Anyway good build and great guide.
edit: On your endgame gear, u dont have curse imunity, when removing the kikazaru, in 3.20 i went for sublime vision, but that is mighty expensive
what, you cant kill stuff while dead anymore? damn
@@LordAnublz yeah, totems will despawn when u die, atleast patchnotes says that.
MAGE SKELLIES!!! Your build guide got me invested in this game, I had just did my first char and followed a guide note I didnt know there was a difference regarding league start and what not. Followed some cool looking CwC assissn lol what a disasetar but your mage skellies guide allowed me to have agood game and now I am addicted. Now I am not sure if I should thank you or be upset cause this game is all I think about lol.
1) any advice/reco on what chest piece to go with until soul mantle is obtained?
2) What gems to be discarded for a 5 link setup?
make you an Update for 3.22 ?? 💚
Exactly what I was looking for TY - Favorite build of all time would be original Moljnir discharge (until it blew up my GPU 9 years ago?)
brooo i loved that build =]
Tried this in 3.20. It erased Sanctrum like if it was nothing, almost did a no hit with it but I'm too lazy to dodge :D. I went 5 ways rota to get to 100 so I won't be bothered with deaths and farmed whatever content I wanted with ease. The only content I didn't try because I knew it'd be painful was simulacrum but maybe it would've worked with it. all in all great build great guide thanks a lot.
Happy it worked for you! Yeah simulacrum is roooough you pretty much can’t go past wave 22 even with gg gear but everything else is ezpz
@@VonVikton new player here, curious on why this isn't viable for simulacrum?
@@chriszhang4834 because you kinda need a tanky build for simulacrum, too much shit happening
2:45
Well anyone who fails thier league start on this build knows who to blame now.
Powerfull build. Why I wont play it again: wasnt fun to die multiple times in every map to everything. Freeze everthing? You must have some hidden magic mojo for that ...
I won't start as a Totem Hierophant but the video was informative anyway. Learned sth about new Arcane Surge and early wand crafting after piety - so thank you!
My favorite build of all time was your SRS from Kalandra league or Gam3 Report's Zombie str stacker from Blight league.
Just logged into poe after a 3 year break because you know.. life lol
This will be the build ill be going with 😊
i've been waiting on this build update, definitely running this on friday. Thanks!
You might find heatshiver to be both rarer and more expensive this league.
I heard this also
nice guide i might try it the dark pact totem build .malthefications but i tweeked it adding 3 more clusters 1 large 2 medium,on ps4 was my favorite build its why i quit playing they nerfed it it was broken op i never saw shaper cast a spell until i did a 4 man carry for the take no damage achievement i shouldnt of shown anyone
Going to give this build a go. This league mechanic is brutal and this looks like it could handle it with ease! My favorite build of all time has to be the classic herald of thunder autobomber. Nothing beats just running around and clearing the screen.
idk man I am 1.5 divines into the build and it seems like the new content can just delete the totems as soon as you place them. mapping wise, it's going well though.
@@fokus1753 Focus on the placement, if they freeze early it works.
Hi bro, nice video!, A question...
Boneshatter Jugg is good for Heist in league starter?
or u have other recomendation for Heist? (tank build pls)
Thanks!
Nooo don't bring this back into the light! I need exclusivity on items😂
Excellent build. Been rewatching your previous ones from last league
Old school HoA poison BL guardian. I literally didn’t die the final month of Betrayal league. I had like 11,000 ES.
this will be my starter/end game build thanks for the guide
dude this is a god tier build guide.
Thanks Von Vikton! This will be my league starter for 3.21
Amazing work, so much thoughts and details to make our experience perfect.
+1
how did it work out for you?
I played this build two leagues in a row pre it getting nerfed by 60%. Its great and freezing the whole screen and doing DPS. Standard entry price of 5-10 Divines gets you most of the way there but the build has ZERO defense. At all. You will die, and die often. No QOL either as ailments are a problem. Just a heads up for those reading this.
Ailments don’t matter if the mob that’s clgunna give it to you is already dead or frozen
cold conversion exsanguinate mappin is lit
Flicker strike has been my favorite build ever. But this league I think I’ll follow your guide as this looks great. Thanks!
havent done totems in a while. love them ever since pizza totems. I am hyped.
Forbidden rite totems
Thanks for the guides!
Probably should mention that you also got a 40% crit chance buff since they buffed power charges.
Ran this as a SSF build last season, got further along than I had ever before --- not quite to the full end-game, but close. L91 was my highest level SSF ever. Got a bit lucky getting a 5-link soulmantle relatively early. Only real thing I never got was the anathema ring, which did limit me a bit, but still, very happy with how the build played out. Going to try it again, maybe this season w/o the SSF tag, maybe with again.
So you just started SSF and hoped to find a Soul Mantle along the way? That seems risky since it seems like the build basically requires it. I'm a SSF player and I'm not sure if I want to play this because I don't currently have a Soul Mantle.
Thanks for the guide, with this i will propably go and try killing the ubers
My league starter for 3.21 :) good job.. 👍
Still waiting on that spark totem guide! 😁
Bro I did spark nemis totems last league it was crazy but nothing came close to ice spear so I didn’t do a guide for it. Feelsbadman
@@VonVikton I’m just giving you a hard time. Glad you’re back.
Had my eye on your build last league but went CoC for Sanctum. This looks way easier to put together!
Yeah it’s ezpz to get going and scales incredibly well with investment. You could use it to make some easy currency then play whatever new fancy build you want =}
@@VonVikton I like the idea of sticking with the totem variant and seeing how far I can push it. Cast on Crit builds are fun, but I spent more time trying to build it and crafting gear than actually playing it 😆
Favorite build of all time was bf/bb archmage mana stacking raider, fast, tanky, TONS of dmg.
Awesome build =}
Can you provided an updated POB for your build? Please and thank you!!
@@BlaaBlaaBlaaBlubb thanks!!
@Von Vikton
it looks like you only have 30% curse reduction in "endgame" item setup there
probably old setup for bugged mantle, might want to fix that
Also might want to consider anomalous faster projectiles, as it should now be essentially a 60% damage multiplier for bossing / free nimis.
(And up to 100% damage multiplier if slotted into diala's malefaction, which could make soul mantle obsolete)
Waiting for an answer on that too.
Just wanted to come back here and say im loving this build. My best league starter so far (only a few seasons under my belt but still). Still leveling gems and working on 6 linking the soul mantle but the dps is great. Thanks for the build! (also very surprised at how easy it was to become curse immune)
Also, if you cant get an Anathema ring, a decent alternative is deodre's damning
how to become curse imune?
could you explain me?
@@wallacelossio1354 Use the yugul pantheon for 30% curse resist. Then you also need to use imbued catalyst (obtained from metamorphs) to increase the caster mod on the ring in the build guide (kikazaru). Hope that helps
@@Roboytron tyvm!!
Thanks for the guide will league start this and might go ek ignite later on.
Wow. It's what I'm looking for so long.
Hey cool guide thx - Guide states to: "Mule on a ranger for Pierce (get in the chest on way to Hillock) and Sniper's Mark (Breaking Some Eggs Quest at level 4)" I get the Pierce, but as I see it, Snipers Mark its only obtainable as an Act 3 quest(With the ranger)? I dont get the choice doing the Egg quest. Am I missing something?
Ive returned to PoE after years of absence... so much info to catch up on :) Gonna start 3.21 with this build.
I put the same comment a few days ago and someone said read patch notes LOL apparently it changes
@@playtoearngaming4858 hehe argh okay :D:D Thx man
yep, gonna try this build this league :)
Following a Von Vikton build just for it to sky rocket in price lmao.
Thanks, was waiting exectly for this!
Thanks for the video! One question should i kill bandits or help someone?
Ill will try this, build it a bit tanky, may it works and my fav build of all time is really wallchas freezing pulse totems and also explosive Arrow totems
Best build i ever played with)) thank you for the guide! Will there also be a endgame version with big budget pls?
Did this last league. Ice Spear feels AMAZING on bosses. Everything else was click master 9000+freezes.
I think they have removed the ability to get pierce right from the start on a Ranger. Now you get it at level 8. Just an FYI for your leveling notes
we get it from Mercy mission now, maybe a 3 min difference and u get an extra quicksilver, we're already going for breaking some egg for Sniper's mark anyway
Definitely starting this now since I noticed that some "difficult" items aren't even used anymore, gearing early game is ridiculously simple now.
Depending on which way one goes even later game items are stupidly simple. Cowards will be the only thing to chase and with the atlas it should be simple enough to get with some mapping if the Alva Temple boss rng is super unlucky. Maybe the blizz crown with enchant will be tricky, don't know but don't care either way. Anathema - we will see but can't be worse than the old rain of splinters.
A couple of questions from my side:
- Why is the new life mastery allocated 10% more max life if you have at least 6 life masteries allocated - how is this being counted?
Maybe I missed something or some definition somewhere but I am not seeing 6 masteries.
- Your thoughts on progressing towards cold mastery inc dmg taken based on freeze duration towards lvl 100? Would this work on bosses since freeze was buffed a while back?
Looking forward to your endgame version for crucible and what we can do with the the new trees (shield / Staff etc.)
- For QoL I would probably go for FP speed for mapping on the helmet enchant, for most normal bosses you don't even need the additional proj for Ice Spear - Ubers not counted, would definitely add this there.
- Looking forward to messing with An. Light / Dual Wand / Shield Setups with all the new possibilities (haven't played this in 2 leagues) -thanks for the inspiration, checked out your Sanctum stuff.
Build is squi.... It is. But I follow this guy builds, they works as hell. With this build I was first time ever boss killer service provide. Easy buys build.
If when you max out the crucible on a T16 100%+IQ map and the mobs end up being as strong as 100% delirium or more, then I wish everyone good luck with the second character.
START
---------------------------
Mule on a ranger for Pierce (get in the chest on way to Hillock) and Sniper's Mark (Breaking Some Eggs Quest at level 4) / Sniper's Mark getting in 3 act
Changed this league. You get it at lvl 4 now
@@VonVikton oh, idk, sorry
Are you not freezing bosses with this? If so, wouldnt the new cold mastery be hella worth it? Also, your endgame items don't include any reduced curse effect, are you planning on just using pantheon and thats it?
Hey Von, been looking at this, and it seems very fun. Always wanted to do a fun totem build. One question though, doing a "test" leveling run in standard rn, and I noticed this in the guide.
make your 2 scepters at level 20
Use Essence of Woe on a Spiraled Wand and then use 4 transmutes to craft flat lightning dmg to spells
These seem to conflict. Should I be saving the Woe for the wands, or using them on the sceptre's?
Thanks for the great guide as always.
I will imitate this built to see if it isn't squishy plus also include manaforge with freezing pulse while MF is doing all dirty work
Followed your guide last league and had a blast, can't find any reason to try something different this one! Thanks for the update and may the loot gods be with you this weekend! :)
My most successfull Build was a Dex Stacking Ballista. Downed all Ubers last League for the first time ever. With "leveling gear" focused more on Defence than Damage I got to level 98 aswell on a more Glasscannon side of build. Ok, for Uber Eater I needed the tanky Impending Doom build to get him.
Think I'll try your build aswell. If it is not my Playstile with the flashy Freezing Pulse, I can transform back to Dex Stacker. :)
Yooo I did dex stack too last league and literally went back to playing my ice spear build lol it felt way better to me
@@VonVikton
Looking forward to try it. :)
thank you for sharing this build. gonna try this one
Nothing changed for this build other than if you used the totem taunt mastery, that has now gone.
Thanks! Was waiting for this :)
Heatshiver might be very expensive early in the next league. First of all there's a high chance it's more rare now according to patch notes. Also every single bow build will want to buy it - and it seems bow starters will be the majority of people.
can be ultra rare aka t1, then it be expensive for sure
Amazing work and presented content. Loving your effort. Keep it coming. Is it still viable for the coming league?
This is what i've been waiting for :D
in the leveling guide, first line under starter, how do u get snipers mark from a lvl 4 quest? its a lvl 24 gem from act 3?
Under Act 3 in the levelling guide you put:
GBB (optional) - Charged Mines / Wave of Conviction / Swift Assembly
But how does this make sense, these skills dont work with Wave of Conviction, were you meant to put something else here?
It also is useless if you have Ancestral Bond so I assume you were meant to put a trap skill here?
Also you put Flame wall as a melee gem colour when I assume its meant to be blue?
