Please upvote this advice because it complements the video. I have no personal channel and nothing to gain from upvotes personally. I tried this character. On one hand, Matthew got fucked with the patch nerf. On the other hand, in Heist, AoE is king - not boss damage. So if you like the Heist mechanic, I recommend this very fun build. Here is how you make it not suck: 1) Hands of the High Templar. -With my +2 to all duration skill gems and +1 to all skill gems, with my gear, steelskin adds an extra 4200hp. At a minimum, yours will add 3900hp. Get the right Hands of the High Templar gloves. With the Steelskin helmet enchant and the extra Duration nodes by Supreme Ego, I have over +6000 HP 75% of the time. But with the following advice, you won't need it (unless you play stupidly). -While you're at it, get gloves with only "elemental weakness" on hit and no other curses. Then annoint the node for two simultaneous curses so you can use Frostbite as well. -I have the helmet anoint that gives me +45% extra damage taken by Steelskin, with Empower, Second Wind, Increased Duration, and Steelskin which gives me an extra >6000 HP for 3 out of every 4 seconds. Get Increased Duration notes by Extreme Ego. -You can get a robe with +2 to AoE skills, or +2 to socketed AoE skills and +1 to all socketed skills. -You MUST unlike the video says maximize AoE. You ****MUST**** ........ Maximize AoE at All Costs. Use Gems that have the AoE Corruption. -Therefore, use the 24% Glacial Cascade AoE enchant on your helmet, not the Steelskin one, unless survivability is paramount and you have a bunch of AoE elsewhere. Usually, 9500 HP (including energy shield) is good enough. You don't need 12000 at the cost of damage. If you hit an enemy with the explosion at the end, you get 200% more damage. That is the equivalent of SIX level 20 Concentrated Effect gems, (which is impossible to obtain). SIX!!! And the larger your AoE, the more enemies you dominate at once. And since -Get the corrupted version of - (what is it, Kazukuza?) - rings that have +20% Hatred effect. Each of those is like an extra Vengeful Commander! I'm too tired to go on for much longer. Use the shield that gives you +1 totems, not two wands. use Awakened Cold Damage Support lv 5 because at lv 5 you get +1 to all cold gems. Use Awakened Area of Effect Support (or just Aoe Support) plus Elemental Proliferation as gems. Just trust me - you need the Aoe and you need to freeze everyone in place, always. Then, you'll hit them with the AoE which gives you a gazillion damage. Make sure to use Cold Snap (vaal) too. Make sure to use the quick-to-cast Void Sphere to proc EO. In fact, you can just put this on Autocast. You don't even need the Critical Strike support connected to it because it'll proc EO on its own with all that AoE you have. Also, instead of getting all that life, which is statistically speaking not necessary with your +4000hp of Steelskin, put a Large Thread of Hope gem in the top, center jewel slot. Look at all of your options that that opens up for you. The correct options to choose will be obvious. Use the Whispers of Doom anoint on your amulet to get the Gloves' Elemental Weakness curse plus your own Frostbite autocurse since now you have gotten Heart of Ice and Breath of Rime (and more) on your own, thanks to the Thread of Hope. -If you've been listening, you should know that at this point you should also have Blast Radius and Amplify. You can get all three Vengeful Commanders from one large and two medium Cluster jewels. Did I mention the Hatred Corruptions on the rings? Get the Hatred Corruptions on the Kikazaru rings. There is a Cinderswallow craft that is "regenerate 3% life during flask effect" that is cheap. You'll be using Tukohama's Fortress, so you need it. So again, use (awakened) Area of Effect support and Elemental Proliferation support. You can do a Gem swap of EP for elemental focus or Concentrated Effect for bosses if you want ----- but note that this is a HEIST build. Use VOID SPHERE to proc Elemental Overload. Get the version of Void sphere that you can cast twice, or rather, that will cast twice FOR YOU since it will be autocast. Get the version of Smoke Mine that increases cast speed. Get the version of Flame Dash that gives you >= 20% more distance travelled with flame dash. I'm to tired for the rest. Bye.

Switched from GC Totems to good old FP Totems, feels so much better. Almost same ST but WAY smoother clear.

[@Flakzor123]

Btw, the overlap improvement will come mostly from the aoe changes to GC... aoe will scale the individual bursts but the whole cascade will not scale with area.

[@fergusonja8]

So why not just use gc totems at lvl 28

[@prokysochek1145]

Btw, would you consider using a medium cluster for Cold conduction, which is 15% baseline shock, while there's also a possibility of using redeemer boots with 40% ailment effect increase? This requires to use second large cluster to fit in, which leads to a small passive tree changes. Not sure atm if it worth tho.

Bl is so much better even though it got the nerf Edit: you get -25/30% damage, but this matters only in FAR endgame BECAUSE: You one shot monsters, two shot champions and rares --> You will kill them 25/30% slower So you kill your enemies not in 1second, but in 1.25second ( only if they are bosses and survive first hit)

Key question everyone that follows you keep asking to ourselves: overall, would you recommend the GC Totem build or the BL miner? I'm kind of struggling in making a decision. I was sure on Totems but I keep thinking more mobility may be key on Heist and that keeps me on doubt. Thanks for the great videos!

[@pathofmatth]

Totems have better clear, better survivability and a nicer playstyle. BL miner does fucking DEEEEEEPS. Don't expect to nuke A8 sirus with 100c invesment and trash tier gear with totems, but BL miner will do it just fine, post-nerf you probly will need a 6L though.

lvling with GC feels rlllllly bad, and the base of the dmg for this build is cluster jewels, which you probably wont have until around lvl 90, unless you sacrifice lots of survivability. Thats the reasoning 😁

Did they not nerf soul mantle ? The hex/curse part on you.

[@walterklust]

The Curses were split into two disjunct classes: Marks and Hexes. Soul Mantle now inflicts only Hexes but no Marks. Previously we havd 13 different Curses. Now we have 9 different Hexes.This lowers the max damage bonus provided by Self-Flagellation (increased Damage per Curse) from 260 to 180. This is a slight nerf but probably irrelevant because you were rarely able to inflict the max number of curses on you.The duration of an inflicted curse is approximately 10 seconds. Gaining all 13 curses would require the death of 13 Totems within 10 seconds. Usually you gain 4-6 different curses/hexes during map runs.

Soul Mantle nerf killed this build. It's getting reverted though! We just don't know when...

Best totem build was MURDERED by GGG hidden nerf soul mantle.

[@pathofmatth]

Indeed.... big yikes.

[@juanmelendez3675]

I am probably missing something, how do you deal with curses on you ?

[@rubenthiel1214]

Before the patch you need two kikazu rings and the notable that gives 20% reduced effect of curses on you but after the big nerf that they never mentioned in the patch notes literally only atziri’s mirror (which is usually in the 15ex range) works. This build is pretty much impossible on a budget now due to a change they never mentioned.
