[3.12] LL Dark Pact Totems Hierophant (RETIRED)



I'm retiring this guide as of 3.12. It's still pog, but time to move on to other things.

Please feel free to use the template and ask questions. If you need help, I'll try and answer.


3.12 changes:

-> No changes.
-> Clarity watcher's eye got nerfed.


Note: Please post all your questions in this thread or come by the stream, don't pm me in game. Make sure your profile is PUBLIC before asking for help so your character is visible. If you have issues with the trees and you're loading them into the poe website, don't. Import them into Path of Building. Please check out the FAQ section before asking questions.

I don't claim my guides to be original or super efficient. I write guides to share characters I'm fond of.

Gameplay on youtube, or if I stream.

=======================================================================

Pros:
Fast map clear
Great single target.
Easy to get going.
Scalable.

Cons:
NEEDS astral projector.


Introduction
สปอยล์


Astral Projector was introduced in 3.9 Metamorph league. It makes nova skills fire from a target point instead from the caster (or totem), making a lot of nova skills far better at clearing and less tedious to position for single target. Thanks to Mathil for the highlight.

I typically hate totem builds, but I wanted to make Omeyocan work and Hiero is the best ascendancy for mana stacking. That combined with The Ivory Tower release and astral projector made me wanna try totems. Shockwave totem was the go-to choice for astral projector, but Dark pact is more fun to me and seemed like a perfect as a totem skill.

Weapon:

Pretty much your end game wand. I'll cost you a LOT more for an upgrade to a rare wand (check pob for the ideal rare wand). The chaos res on it also helps.


Helmet:
สปอยล์


Buy/Craft one with es, nearby enemies take increased chaos dmg and ideally chaos res. You need an hunter base (ilvl 85) for it. Use abberant and dense fossils on a hubris with the enchant.

BIS - Dark Pact cast speed.

Budget option: Any rare helmet with es and res.


Chest:
สปอยล์


Really good defensive chest if you have unreserved mana. The downside is, you need a lot of unreseved mana and high chaos res to not die as low-life. Make sure you have capped chaos res to avoid one shots from chaos mobs. In levelling the character to 96 in metamoph, I had a couple of deaths at most to chaos dmg.

Budget option while not low life: Any rare chest, Tabula Rasa.


Gloves:
สปอยล์


Fingerless gloves with es, res, chaos res.

Budget option: Anything with es, resists.


Boots:
สปอยล์


Don't use this unless you have enough mana regen, atleast with totems up.

BIS - Regenerate 2% of Life per second if you were Hit Recently.


Amulet:
สปอยล์



Anoint Ironwood - Free life and free damage from totem life.

Budget option: Anything with life, res, spell damage.


Belt:
สปอยล์


Spam dense fossils on crusader crystal belts or buy one. Look for ES recovery rate.

Budget option: Anything with ES, res.


Rings:
สปอยล์


ES, spell damage, mana, mana regen, res.

Budget option: Anything with life, res.

Too expensive!

You can start off as simple life based. LL takes time.

Great build! You got any tips on an intermediary passive tree while not LL?

As league starter, what do you think of leveling as Holy Flame Totem build and when you drop/buy astral projector make the change to the build?

Great build! You got any tips on an intermediary passive tree while not LL?

The tree has very little ES on it, you can probably follow the same tree and get life gear instead of ES, before you switch to LL.

I think I used holy flame totems all the way for levelling before I could equip Apep's. It should work fine.

Yup, I've done multiple deathless Sirus 8 and 350+ delving with it no problem. I have a video on sirus 8 (in 3.9). I won't be playing this build in 3.11 but unless the patch notes mention a nerf, it should be fine for 3.11.

In the main guide? No. The yellow text is the only change I've made to the guide. The 3.11 tree is in the PoB.
