thank you for that info. I tried to find your build on poe.ninja as well but the only toxic rain hierophant that appeared was this build and I was curious what you thought about it in comparison

The Hierophant node Ritual of Awakening no longer grants +1 to maximum number of Summoned Totems. Instead it now causes skills that would Summon a Totem to summon two Totems instead, and grants 3% more Damage per Totem.

This should help our clear speed tremendously. The more damage is icing on the cake.

They also mentioned there are more sources of +1 totems, hopefully they are not limited to offhand slot as we already have skirmish.

We may be stuck at 4 totems, or hopefully even more, going forward.

Waiting for patch notes.

What gem would we replace to make room for Multiple Totems gem? Seems like this patch will have us at 6 totems even after the Heiro ascendancy change.

I'm not sold on multiple totems. I think in most situations it'll hurt the build.

Don't you think 2 more totems = more pods and overall more dmg for the build?

My napkin math says no.

If we assume damage from a single 5link totem to be X, then:

Damage with some other gem = 4X*1.3 = 5.2X (1.3 = 30% more dmg from last gem)

Damage with multiple totems = 6X*0.7*(1+0.06) = 4.452X (0.7 = -30% dmg from lvl20 multiple totems, 6% from 2 extra totems with new passive)

That means as long as the last link u can mod is at least 12% more damage, it will be more beneficial to use that
