[3.26] Frostblink Totems - 122 million dps, all content
|
Is there any way to do this build without needing a mana flask?

" I think that mana flask isn't mandatory. In 3.25 we used Sanctuary of Thought jewels that took care of mana costs and used mana flask before getting them. In 3.26 I've changed build to use Inspiration Support to get manageable mana costs for miniscule dps loss. Let's take 97lvl LL PoB for example: - one totem placement (two totems) costs 154 mana - with totem placement speed os 0,22s it's 693 mana per second - we regenerate 512 mana per second On paper it looks like mana flask is indeed needed. But there's a thing - you NEVER place totem constantly, 3 placements reach totem limit of 6. And 3 placements cost only 462 mana. Mana flask in PoB is a relic of previous iteration, but I like to keep it when mapping for those ever-present mana siphoners. |

Regarding Mercenaries - the best one for this build is Kineticist:
- Haste - obviously, allows us to use another aura or Aspect of the Spider - Inspiring Cry - damage and mana regeneration, very useful - Elemental Weakness - improves clear, as you normally don't waste time on cursing trash mobs You can also give them amulet anointed with "Dazzling Strikes" so they act as blinding bot, synergising with our evasion.

Thanks for the build! Been having a blast, and completed the Feared for the first time with it. I'm at the point now where my next big upgrade is Forbidden jewels, which are sadly crazy expensive.
On mercs, I've been running a Bladecaster with Grace and Aspect of the Spider buffed up by the Fenumus uniques, since then I get the extra -resists and surivability from the chestpiece without having to equip it myself. |

Congrats on killing Feared, it takes good mechanical skills. You've got really nice equipment, especially shield.
Also good idea with Aspect of Spider + Grace on mercenary, even without Forbidden jewels you can fit more auras than in previous league. |

Thanks! I made the shield how you described here:
" Bought one with the +cold spells and resists, and crafted a suffix on to guarantee the +totems. |

Tried this build, so far I'm really squishy (only lv85) - I keep dying to merc and damage feels kinda meh, then again I'm quite noob so probably just a me problem.

" How are you dying to Mercs? You should just summon totems before starting the fight, run away, press crit flask and they shouldnt even get near you. |

how do i ever get 3 blue 3 red on bronns.
vorici calculator tells me i need over 70k to 200k + depending on the craft? |

" I find it hard to believe, it should be really safe with totem taunt. Drop cold snap, arcanist brand, totems and run away. I haven't played it against Mercenaries, but killing juiced essence mobs was quite easy. How is the experience of other players this league? Perhaps you're just lacking damage? I see that your gems aren't level 20 yet, you don't use Sandstorm Viosage, Anathema or Militant Faith jewel - each of these items are great dps increase. " Tainted Chromatic Orbs ignore attribute requirement, making it quite easy to hit right colors. |
