[@emilykelly7453]

Yo! I know this is 2 weeks old but I have a question I’d love answered: Is Soul Mantle/Veil or the atziri shield a good build with this? Or is it better not to run it? I heard you talk about survivability when comparing them but I don’t see it at low levels. I’ve got the currency to do whatever and I really want to build a cool build for my first time.

[@dIggl3r]

Not sure I understand why using WoC with mines, will it apply exposure if it doesn't do damage (since we're using Ancestral Bond)?

superb build for anyone wanting to start totems, thanks dude

[@PukeNukem666]

A very long time ago I loved to play Facebreaker Warchief-Totem. And now Im back to start the League with your Totem-Build. Thank you for the effort to make a nice guide.

[@Dan1loBC]

Our totem savior has spoken \o/! When I saw the update, you were the first person I thought of, it made me really tempted to play storm burst totems once again. Since they're adding new voice lines to ranger and scion, I wanted to go for them, against my desires to go hierophant totems hehe. I may try a storm burst totems scion tapping into some other way of scaling damage. If all fails, I know I'll have your build to fall back to in a reroll :)

[@Tatiantel2]

Good luck with Scion totems haha Storm Burst is powerful enough now to "carry" Scion into totem cult

[@Radjaroy]

I have definitely used your totem builds for the past 5 leagues and every time best guide ever. Just keep coming back to totems because of you. Thanks for the hard work Tati.

[@ExServ85]

I have to say reading the patch notes I was expecting some news on your side ! I tried totems in Sanctum thanks to your builds and since then I'm hooked :D I'll be league starting this (thought about ball lightning, new gem quality is cool too) but its time to try storm burst ^^

[@e1fy]

This is a top tier work with the POB. Multiple leveling trees, skills by levels with helpful notes, and extensive notes section. Thank you! I've never played totems before, so this is all very helpful.

[@aresonantsoul6668]

Just found this guide. Thank you for your effort to make a leveling guide for a build for ppl like me that have limited time but love this game. Cheers!

[@mduffrules]

adding another thank you for the min-maxed trade version, i played this on SSF last league and it was amazing, cant wait to min-max it in trade this league!

[@ReallyNotAGoose]

Excellent build guide! The PoB has had a ton of work put into it and it shows. I'm not going to be starting with Totems because I'm in SCSSF and I want to start with my Deadeye (that will eventually get converted to my MFer). However, Storm Burst Totems is almost certainly going to be my 2nd character - used for farming the content where the extra tank and totem playstyle make things that much smoother. Good luck with your league start!

Wow - that is amazing. Thanks heaps, mate. I wanted to play spell totem Hiero, but could not find a good template. You come to the rescue!

[@maxg5567]

Sent you message on other videos trying to ask for an updated 3.23 video. The other guides were pretty olds. I like your more tanky approach, less dps than the traditional totems with uniques but more interesting to build imo. Thank you.

[@bogdanlazy1997]

Insane max hit numbers on hiero for this little budget! Thanks for ur work, awesome stuff

[@PauloFernando-p3m]

THANK YOU FOR THE MIN-MAX TRADE POB !!! If you have the time i would love the same thing for the ball lightning build, by far my favorite of yours.

Thank you mr. Tatiantel2, your builds never disappoint. Unlike those of Tatiantel1.

[@Tatiantel2]

Lol that guy

[@dailybs555]

Okay this is the go to totem build creator for new players. People should point others to you if someone wants to play totems and needs help. Btw with tinctures we can have melee hits have a chance to fortify, maybe we can use shield charge with that for more survivability, lol.

[@Tatiantel2]

Thanks for the kind words! About fortify - it will not work sadly, because the amount of Fortification stacks still will be scaled with damage that you deal. And we have Ancestral Bond - so no damage

[@profeturulz8373]

I think they changed fortify to be based on the hit amount. But won't tinctures work on wands? They should..

nice one :) i love totem builds and this one i dont played until now :) ty a lot for all your work

It was already really good and got buffed for this league. You are going to love it if you follow the notes properly in the POB.

[@phantombyte00]

I tried siege ballista totems this league and I was so dissapointed, but then I stumbled on this video and found hope again. I will farm the starting gear and reroll, your vid is a freaking gem, thanks a lot! Also just subbed, can't wait to see what other totem builds you make.

[@Tatiantel2]

GL on your journey!

[@JohnTheMutt]

You really put a lot of work into your PoB and just want to say thanks for that and much appreciation for your efforts!

[@Bodom1after1midnight]

@13:50 It's a small thing, but as a console player, i appreciate you acknowledging this, no other build makers do.

[@Tatiantel2]

Yeah, it would be nice for devs to make some "locked-in" button for controllers too

[@JohnJones-lg3ql]

Finally done with this build...took it to about as min/max as I can figure out how to. I couldnt quite reach the numbers shows in the trade leage POB without checking a bunch of unrealistic criteria (4 stages, full charges, everything on consecrated ground, fingers crossed). Not saying the criteria is never met, but it's rare. All in 100k EHP and slightly over 100mil dps (had to go to crit to get this dps though). It melts just about everything other than super juiced wisp maps, and only dies to multiple massive phys hits (think wisp-juiced minotaur). Overall very solid build that let me gradually increase investment to get to min/max. Highly recommend to any one-build-all-league folks. IMO, the downside is that you have to hit a lot of keys, and it takes some real creativity and investment to get to these numbers. You don't have to work this hard to do it on other builds. Edit for end of 3.23 -- I pushed this a bit further and got to 315m dps that rarely dies due to some of the recoup tech + big hit mitigation I worked in. Also got 3 curses worked in that autocast with cast when stunned. This has a been a really fun build. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to try totems.

[@Tatiantel2]

Oh, well done with min-maxing! I'm glad you had fun doing the build A lot of buttons to press feels fun to me (kinda like combo buttons in fighting games, and you get rewarded for mastering the combo), but I realize it can be not that fun for some

[@JohnJones-lg3ql]

@@Tatiantel2 I 100% get that. Looking forward to seeing what other builds you come out with. This one has definitely been fun.

I was waiting for your new guide, thank you

[@billunknown9335]

I know that this is a low bar, but I followed Ball Lightning of Static build last league and it easily got me 4/4 stones for the first time in SSF. Starting your Storm Burst or Divine Ire this league to transition into CoC DD or a Mjolner Hiero Archmage later.

[@ILoveMyBGE]

Wonderful build, thank you! In the min maxed version, you are using Awakened Controlled Destruction. I believe at level 5 that will give the build Unnerve (I assume this still works with spell totem). Unnerve is not set in the configuration so you probably have a little more damage than the POB shows I think.

[@Tatiantel2]

Right, good point, thanks!

finally, i want different totem build beside freezing pulse. thanks bro :D

[@sacamanosenior]

Thanks for the build and guide @tatiantel2! A couple questions: 1. when do you suggest starting to pick up evasion/es bases? 2. what is your preferred method of getting spell suppression on gear in SSF?

[@Tatiantel2]

I prefer picking up bases, once we get to item lvl 77+, because then it can roll T2 Spell Suppression. And the way I craft it in SSF - always just spam essences pretty much. If I have Divine orbs, then we can spam suffix Essences (that give resists for example) until we get T2 Suppression and another decent suffix, then bench-craft "Suffixes cannot be changed", then use Veiled chaos orb, bench-block some useless mod, unveil +mana or +life, and then bench-craft mana or life

[@profeturulz8373]

I will start this and pivot to ball lightning or Divine ire if they are better. I like that you went with a tanky version(although I had over 200k EHP on boneshatter and was still dying). That was my main concern. You can also use Impossible escape to save some nodes but you won't have evasion mastery. Also if you use rare gloves you can ditch physical to lightning. Creeping frost and Sigil or Wrath with blessing(if it works?) can be put in a wand with trigger skills.

[@Tatiantel2]

But here we have Decoy totems tanking Rares and Bosses for us, that's a big defensive layer that's impossible to show in pob EHP number. With trigger wand we can automate some spells, not a bad idea

[@MalteLewandowski]

@@Tatiantel2 Both, your Stormburst and Divine Ire Totem Builds look amazing. I am just not sure how you calculated that Divine Ire of Disintegration deals 66% more damage. Also I am a bit concerned if this new totem will leave a lot of stragglers as it does not damage them during the channeling. We'll need to see. Even the normal Divine Ire should still be fine around 6-7 mil dps. One last question: Is it still worth it for the Divine Ire build variant to take the duration cluster?

[@Fernando_SRS]

Damn! Every piece of the build was so well thought Ty for thw effort I will start with this

[@kirdenlynx]

Very nice looking build. Tempted but the keybind requirements seem a bit high for me. May swap to this after I automate flasks though. Always loved stormburst but never figured out a good way to make it work. I guess you wouldn't need all the binds unless it's a tanky boss or essence though to be fair. Edit: started this regardless of buttons, and highly suggest following the gem progression. It builds on the buttons slowly and you can see what you need vs what should be used for bosses/tanky mobs. Way less average buttons than I'd expected.

[@Tatiantel2]

Yeah, in maps generally we press just 2 buttons besides totems - Conductivity, and Divine Blessing Wrath

[@kirdenlynx]

Decided to league start this after all. I have to say pre-32 I thought I'd made a huge mistake. Not a fan of holy flame totem after level 20ish, but man did it pick up when I swapped to storm burst. I'm loving it and, if you focus on the leveling gem progression, the buttons aren't that rough. I did skip sigil for now (only act 7 due to 14 hour work shifts). It might be worth having an explanation on the gem progression before going into the end game setup so people don't get turned off immediately. So glad I gave this a shot. Thank you for the guide. Hopefully I'll hit maps after work tonight and crawl into blight.

[@mattsu7]

Going to be league-starting this thanks for a really interesting build, was kind of worried I would have to go with another obvious one like Toxic Rain or DD, and I've never league-started totems so should be fun!

[@ILoveMyBGE]

With Algor Mortis being so wonderfully cheap, I assume there are useful corruptions we can use. Maybe things like +1 to Frenzy charges, +2 to socketed Mine gems (would put WOC setup here), Increased Cast Speed, Increased Life, +2 to Socketed Auras (swap Flame Dash with Vitality to have both Auras in the gloves). We can even get 2 of these corrupts really cheap I think.

[@saskiawillems9435]

Thanks for the video and the explanations 👍

[@petrusbubba4717]

awesome work ! i would to see your finished divine ire build because i stupidly love mega lazor !

[@Swad-cf8nc]

Really wish we had a full list of the wildwood charms and everything we can get from it. If +1 max totem were possible on a charm I would auto league start this build over bonezone.

[@Tatiantel2]

Yeah, I will go for charm ascendancy for sure. But seems very unlikely to have +1 totem there - would be too powerful. But I will believe still

[@Sothgar]

Thanks for great build!

[@Dymahr]

Thanks for the guide. I played your build last season and i wonder what is your take on the state of the build for patch 3.24? Looks untouched, or do i miss something?

[@Swad-cf8nc]

Build did great, already in yellow maps and tearing things up with one death to the league mechanic.

[@Niohock88]

For the min-maxed version, would you recommend double corrupted lightning coil? Or a skin of the lords? They give a lot of survabilty, specially lightning coil for phys mitigation. I'd rather min max tankiness than dps. 11M is plenty for me, I just hate dying. Thank you for the content, I love totems and I use your guides all the time :)

[@Tatiantel2]

Lightning Coil is a great option indeed, and if you have T1 Suppression on every other piece of gear (gloves, boots, helm , shield), then you can still have 100% Suppression, so it will be real tanky. But I usually don't try to make the char super-super tanky, since most of the time we have tanky Decoy totems taking damage instead of us.

[@Stubbyt]

Will you do a new video for 3.24 or just updating the guide?

[@terrorsixx]

Super detailed and tanky, i really like it Wanted to do spell totems this league but von victons build is a bit squishy for me

[@outercore415]

In the POB you use the Dreamer passive node (inc mana regen, reduced mana cost) instead of Forethought (inc max mana, increased mana cost). Is that a mistake or can you explain why you choose Dreamer? To me Forethought looks like the better pick.

[@Tatiantel2]

It is on purpose. In this patch we started using Automation support (instead of left-click tech) for Arcane Cloak. As a result, we can't use Mana mastery for "recover 10% of mana when you use a Guard skill" anymore (because triggering is not "use"). That means we need extra mana regen now to make up for mastery loss. Dreamer helps with mana regen nicely. Second, if instead of reducing mana cost we'd take increased mana cost notable, our Divine Blessing Wrath would increase in manacost a lot - from like 1.3k to 2.1k (or something like that). This will make it way worse to cast the aura consistently. Arcane Cloak cost is unaffected by any changes to manacost - it will always consume the same amount of mana. So it's impossible to try to get bigger arcane cloak shield with increases to manacost

[@outercore415]

@@Tatiantel2 Makes sense. Thanks!

[@zorgegreat2548]

Thanks Totems King:) Well done!

[@JohnJones-lg3ql]

Congrats on the shoutout from Subtractem.

[@xedden2]

Aren't we just using the storm last mines for the auras? So we really don't even need to detonate them after getting our charges. So you would leave them undetonated to keep the number applying the auta high. How does stormblast compare to the added for from the new pyroclasm mines?

[@Tatiantel2]

Yes, exactly - we get 3 frenzy charges from detonating Mines few times, and then just keep throwing for the Auras. I compared with the new Pyroclast Mine - Stormblast is still wayt better with lightning damage

[@TheRealDigitalDecaf]

Thanks much for the update! we know it takes time and appreciate it very much, going to league start SB! I have a question about mines. what is the timing of all the buffs like, as in you throw a stormblast mine, the mine is not detonated yet, so the stormblast mines and support gems "nearby" buffs are active, then you detonate it, and instantly the buffs go away? if thats how it works wouldn't you want to just apply the buffed shock with 1 SB mine (or just 1 Woc mine for exposure) and then throw a bunch of mines and just leave them without detonating them? or do the mine "corpses" still count for a duration?

[@EliasKlemedsson]

This is such a well-made guide/build. Also, I LOVE totems so this is a no-brain starter for sure. SSF btw.

[@jrjihu]

With the new Searing Bond quality together with 30% Ashes, could we get +5 max totems for Searing Bond. If we add that to the Decoy Totem + Multi Totem link, the max should then be +7 for Searing Bond. Would that give us 5 extra totems overall (4 storm burst, 2 decoy and 5 searing bond) for 11 total? The Hiero node would go from 30% more to 55% more, which would be like a 19% more multiplier for 1 socket. I suppose it would add more clunkiness to the build though, having to put the extra totems down and also keeping them alive. Also I could be misunderstanding the totem limit entirely as I'm not too familiar with them, lol.

[@Tatiantel2]

You calculated everything right. It is indeed great damage for just 1 socket. Could totally be viable to use that in a build. Another 2 smaller issues with that though: 1) all these Searing Bond totems will make bonds to you and all the other totems, which creates a visual mess; 2) there's a chance to overspam Searing Bonds, and delete one or more of your Storm Burst totems, so really have to be careful there. Overspamming never happens with decoy totems, because they have cooldown

[@jrjihu]

Makes sense, just a tool for the pob dps warriors then, haha!

[@erothh9830]

Any other skill/any way this would work with a chieftain totem build now that totems proc explode? really wanna do chief totem and really like storm burst haha

[@Tatiantel2]

Chieftain explosions probably will still not work sadly. The problem is - explosions are "Secondary" damage type, which technically considered as Your damage. So with Ancestral Bond keystone - the explosions will trigger from totems, but likely will do no damage. Unless GGG fixed that part as well (but they didn't mention that in patch notes)

[@zouzou6283]

Thank you for the guide ! Do you think that it will be able to farm ultimatum ?

[@saitamaxc1084]

[@captainprometheus3102]

Tati, love your build since I tired it in sanctum league thereinafter. A question is, how does Cruelty work with Stormburst totems? I don't understand the interaction between the Cruelty and Stormbrust. As well as, would it be possible to add into the guide a "How To Craft" section for crafting? Because for some reason I cannot fathom how to craft items unless theres a step by step guide. Sorry for the inconvenienced caused

[@Verisi1]

Cruelty support is just used for its 24% more hit damage; the cruelty buff doesn't matter and isn't used in this build.

Verisi is right - Cruelty is just 24% more damage, it's the best support we can use in this slot. About crafting guides - I might try to do them in the future, at least show the way I craft my gear in SSF

[@Tatiantel2]

Divine Ire хорош с новой версией скилла (of Disintegration) - та, что убирает аое во время каста. Полагаться на этот аое на обычной версии скилла, мне кажется, не стоит

Am i missing something on the Cruelty support? According to the wiki: "Traps, Mines, and Totems can gain Cruelty; however, because their damage is based on the player, these buffs have no effect. The player will need to have the Cruelty buff from a skill they dealt damage with directly, as well as support the proxy with Cruelty Support to gain the damage bonus for damage over time "

[@Phant0m51]

He's using the Cruelty support solely for the More Damage line of the gem, nothing else.

[@Tatiantel2]

Yes, like Phant0m51 said - Cruelty still gives 24% more damage with hits to totems. But no Cruelty buff (that scales DoT), but we don't do Damage over Time

@@Tatiantel2 ah, ok. Thanks.

I love this build by the way, totems are my favorite, always liked 'turrets' in any game where I can get them. I have a question though, why are elder boots recommended G=G=G=G links? Is this a mistake or maybe I'm asking a dumb question?

[@Tatiantel2]

I didn't change colors on items, so it's sort of a mistake, but usually people don't look at colors on items hehe In Skills section you can find the gems we want to use in each piece of gear, in Boots - it's Arcane Cloak, Sigil, Curse, so 4 blue sockets

[@CalamityBoomPants]

Hey! Thanks for the build. I am trying to play the minmaxed version of this but in your gameplay I don't see you running any auras but you have mana reservation? Where does that come from? I also see you have determination and vitality but only looks like you're running one of them as you don't have 0 mana. Any feedback on this?

[@karmoth6666]

I think this will shine in league mechanic and ultimatum

[@snazzans7296]

cant wait for ur divine ire testing :)

[@saschageuting4666]

Thank you for this great guide. Which card modifiers should you avoid?

[@Tatiantel2]

Map mods to avoid: enemies cannot be taunted, enemies skills chain +x times, no regen. And combination of multiple dangerous mods like -max res and damage

[@MM-yy9us]

Hey great build guide, in act 8 so far and blasting through on no gear lol is the 3.23 guide mostly viable for 3.24, still figuring things.... thanks

[@mas0ny11]

Hi do you know if storm burst totems is better or shock wave totems? They are the 2 main totem builds I see but there's not much information about the differences so I thought I'd ask here in case you would be able to help me. Awesome video too I'm looking for an ssf build that can do sanctum and this looks quite suitable :)

[@dongdong02]

I'm looking for ssfhc totem build and this build looks so good. This build primarily focuses on mana stacking, so with the recent buff to Archmage, I think it should synergize well. What do you think about it? Is there a room for archmage support gems?

[@Tatiantel2]

Sadly Archmage can't support totem skills, so we can't use it

[@dongdong02]

@Tatiantel2 ah.. I missed it.. tyty

[@dongdong02]

@@Tatiantel2 oh 1 more question! Between Divine Ire and Storm Burst, which totem build deals more damage? And which build would you recommend for SSFHC?

[@Tatiantel2]

@@dongdong02 Storm Burst is a bit better overall

[@dongdong02]

​@@Tatiantel2Thank you! I have one more question. Since multiple mechanisms are applied, the skill slots seem very tight. While playing the build, I find it a bit frustrating that shield charge is missing. Can I remove one or two gems to make space for it? In my opinion, removing the automation and using Arcane Cloak manually seems feasible. Additionally, could I secure one more slot?

[@carloconsing4044]

Hi Tati - Noticed you had the maximum endurance craft on jewelries. Can you help me figure out how we can proc endurance charges with this build? Thanks!

[@Tatiantel2]

On rings and amulet - we minimum endurance charges (not maximum), that means we have charges always
