[PoE 3.25] Storm Burst Totems - NO Extra Buttons! - Cheap League Starter SC/SSF/HC Viable

[@Tatiantel2]

I updated PoB with more FAQ in Notes, like: What league mechanics the build is good at? Or about Ubers and t17s

Just saw this I’ll take a look at pob

[@GabdeVue]

Thank you for the update! Absolutely love this build! At level 91 now, which is pretty far for me : ) (only ever got to 95 once. I am always way too disheartened when I die). Absolutely love doing blight with this. Thank you so much!

[@danyburlacu825]

What about exposure for the min/max version?

[@gamezerge1229]

I love and hate this build. So squishy and the totems die faster than any other totem build ive played before. But the damage is the love part.

[@karastkaith9036]

Maybe you should start by that, as everyone will start melee and probably Lacerate, everything will be expensive as hell if you play tradeleague and switch later to melee for fun, that's my plan :D

Absolutely loving this build, thank you so much for such a thorough guide! Was using it as a starter, but now I'm minmaxing it to be my endgame build. It's totally amazing 🤩

[@WDUSNBMHHU]

If anyone hasn't played this before and is wondering what it's like - it's excellent. This was the 1st build I played when I followed a build guide as a noob. I was amazed at how powerful it was. The PoB Tatiantel makes is really detailed and easy to follow as well. Highly recommended.

[@itsjustajokejeez]

I just switched to this build from arc totems, and I love it already. Thanks for the ideas man!

[@scardan1070]

Hey, I like your build so far, just spell suppression pigeonholes me unto dex items and it is hard. I have spent hundreds of orbs on evasion/armour chest you have in your pob and still didn't got right colours. Today I have seen no shield with + totem and spell suppression on it on the trade site. Can I respec into life/es instead and which nodes should I take? Armor/es gear is easier to find, easier to colour sockets and probably easier to gear.

[@etrosknight2254]

This is late but hopefully helps next league at least. Here's what you do to hit difficult off-colors, and this only works if you are going to 6-link it yourself afterward. First get just 2 sockets, then use the bench to do "at least 2 blue", this will give you exactly 2 blue. Then we take advantage of the fact that by adding one socket at a time, you have a 10% chance to hit an off-color (according to Zizaran). So you alternate "3 sockets", "2 sockets", "3 sockets" on the crafting bench until you hit a 3rd blue. Then same thing for the 4th blue, "4 sockets", "3 sockets", "4 sockets" until 4th blue acquired. Then you can go "5 sockets" for red, and "6 sockets" for red, this should be way easier. This is better than coloring with chromes because jewelers orbs tend to be much cheaper than chromes - it will still cost hundreds of jewelers but that's nothing for endgame gear

Hi Tatianel2.Good totem build as always. For the min-max version, do you have any suggestions for gear if I just want to do 83+ sanctum?Looking for ward to your kindly reply.Thx.

[@darudesandstorm7002]

honestly, youre better off with shockwave totems for sanctum as they instahit and freeze nearly everything so theres little chance of you losing resolve.

This is an insanely high quality guide. Thank you very much!

[@FlameeeRv]

Was waiting for a totem guide for 3.25 for a while and seems like there are none at all. So thanks for doing this. Seems to be a great build, will probably league start with it.

[@jotafonso3310]

Thanks for the guide once again. Undecided between this and zoomancer/ holy relic necro, but this is now really appealing after the deletion of the temp buffs.

[@wilkstube]

I got in on holy relic early last league. It was AMAZING. I put it aside because I didn't like the league mechanic. Then came back a bit later and since the build got so popular - even one gem/item/amulet on trade was what I paid for almost my entire build . It all got EXTREMELY expensive (except ashes). Just a heads up. I played storm burst the league before and even amazing gear was affordable. Solid build.

[@jotafonso3310]

@@wilkstube Yeah, Ive done Storm burst totems (and a few other totem types, even warchiefs) and zoomancer, didnt end up doing holy relic though. Farming the HR gems shouldnt be too hard spamming labs for a little while as they are just expensive because people are lazy, but Ill decide last minute while on the queue to login on Friday as it goes most of the time. Got a lot of zoomancer experience so it would be easier to league start Leaning towards SB totems though, as the boss spell rotation will be really simple now. It's also awesome for blight, expedition and harvest that I enjoy doing

[@cgarion2904]

Hello Do you think this totem build is good for Blight ?

[@GabdeVue]

I am a pretty casual player and after 3 years i have returned for this league. I really, really like playing casters or minions but was not happy with the builds I found. So i have played this build to level 30 now and i am very, very happy with it : ). When I rejoined 3 weeks ago to get back into the game, i died the whole time. I felt so bad. (of course lots of that is due to not being that good at the game... I love delving and just couldn't see light : / ) Thank you so much for your work and giving us so much fun. I am a bit lost on the skill gems - that might be due to not being used to PoB. Whenever there is a skill-gem quest reward, i click through all the items to see if the gem might pop up somewhere. Will make myself a list. There is probably an easier way around that, but i have not figured it out yet. Having lots of fun, thank you!

[@brunoc330]

I love your builds. Thanks for your effort, I'll probably be league starting with this

[@robertwagner300]

Level 92 in HC and the build is pretty good. Slow mapper but very good bosser. It's certainly possible to go an entire map without getting hit. I'm having issues clearing t14+ maps with any decent speed. I am not going to invest further. I'll probably just do heist for currency before rerolling into something else. I wouldnt reconmend it for SC due to the slow speed. The build is great for mechanics where you can easily avoid getting hit (blight, harvest). I wouldn't play this build for breach or ritual. Overall this is a great guide for a unique build.

[@joaopereira6435]

What would be a good atlas strategy for this build? what to focus early on?

[@kippakeppa1731]

Nice! The only reason I did not play this build was the many buttons. Do you think I can get the watchstones with this in ssf?

[@007vix]

I've not played properly for a couple of leagues and I'm looking forward to getting back in. I last played you Divine Ire totems build & had great fun with it. I'm looking forward to trying this build out for 3.25. Thanks for your hard work dude 👍Would be nice to see if a Soul Rend totem build would be possible too as it's one of my fave skills, but I've not played it for some time.

[@gorobashiarena]

Seems good, thanks for the build

[@kippakeppa1731]

Is this a good build to aim lvl 100 with? How good is the defense here?

[@etrosknight2254]

Really nice guide, thanks so much! One question, could you please explain or include in the guide how to craft the shield? It looks super hard and the min-max version of the shield has only one instance on trade at the moment for 90 divines. Would you recommend some alt-regal strategy or essences, what harvest and meta crafting to do, etc.? Also for crafting the weapon, would you recommend just getting a fractured +1 lightning gems base or is there a more SSF way to make the wand?

[@Tatiantel2]

@@etrosknight2254 This league I crafted the gear with recombinators, there is a very great guide about them on reddit, and both shield and a weapon I crafted with the guide. It requires quite a lot of alterations though, and divines for multi-mod

[@LilKalash]

Hey! I'm following the build and I'm doing the min maxing and the only difference is the amount of total mana I have ( 2099 mana), in your PoB shows 4k+ mana. Could this be the reason I'm missing half of dps? Currently doing like 23 mil instead of 35+ mil.

[@EmAndM1219]

This is exactly why. Arcane Cloak boosts your damage with the more mana you have to sacrifice with it.

[@Caen-MK]

Awesome job putting this together!

[@carlgregory2531]

Would you try and fit in a cluster jewel, at least for sleepless sentry - or are we too tight on points?

[@eberssiqueira]

Nice video! I wonder if you could make a similar totem build, but instead using the Firestorm of Pelting (20% quality for 12 firestorms at a time!) 🤩

[@Chair3000]

I was losing my mind trying to figure out how you got 6 endurance charges but damned if Vigor isn't going to be one of the best anointments this league, what a great build. Thanks as always Tati

[@Darkxellmc]

Funny that youtube is recommending me this, I was starting to consider storm burst totems and was about to theorycraft it. It looks kinda slow however (movespeed is not there, and I hate shield charge). Can you please confirm that there's no problem going into kraitin + haste + sublime instead of wrath, I'm not missing anything? Will loose ~20% damage, and action speed is a little wasted on totems, but 20%ms/10%as seems better to me. A few things: - For the anoint, "crusader" looks better in every way, - Tree is super tight, but I feel like "sleepless sentries" is way too strong not to take. Where would you spare the 7 points for it? Maybe taking "ash frost and storm" instead of "heart of thunder" and "Divine judgment"? Would allow for a "scintillating ideas" large, with a totem medium for onslaught. - Why no rage helmet? Seems like a perfect fit for the arcane cloak, and 30% more spell damage ain't half bad Thank you for the video, I think I'll start with this instead of what I had planned!

[@Tatiantel2]

Heh I'm a big shield charge enjoyer. Haste - absolutely doable, yes. Crusader gives less damage than "Wood, Stone, and Spell" annoint, but it gives some extra EHP, so debatable. Rage helmet - I didn't realise they updated it for more spell damage as well, it should be great indeed

[@mega_epic_anime]

Build is really nice. I tried this prev league and closed atlas easily, but after i got min max version, I respected to Tristack mines. So about min max, is it possible to add some totem/crit clusters to make it even more stronger, or using something really expensive items like mage-blood or some?

[@billunknown9335]

[@Tatiantel2]

Those boots were too hard to craft with duration and spell suppression at the same time, so I decided to remove them from the guide. Plus we use More Duration support now, so even if you get the boots, it's gonna be less than 10% more damage

[@juliansanchez9911]

Hi there! I appreciate the guide greatly and I'm considering this for the gauntlet. I'm looking at the SSF/Medium setup and I've been thinking of swapping the Eternal blessing + wrath setup for eternal blessing + purity of elements for the ailment avoidance. Do you think it'd be a great idea?

[@ignatviktorov7880]

I played this build last season, which had overturned t17 maps. This was the only build that I played that could actually clear them reliably(I do suck at the game though). I had a super, super easy time with bosses,blight maps, and t17 maps with his highly detailed PoB. I recommend this to any newer player. The only real con to this build, in my opinion is that since the damage ramps it feels a little bit slower than other builds. But that's fine for me.

[@bradmoshenko7733]

Thanks for this. I am kind of keeping an eye on your channel because I tend to like totems. Also really trying to get information on flamewood support. Jung was saying champion was really good for it last league but thats kind of broken my head. I was playing it as jugg. Also keeping an eye on your doc. - cheers

[@astral1913]

loving the build but any tips on making totems tankier? they keep dying quickly in some situations and then i die, ive already annointed ironwood

[@Tatiantel2]

To go for full tankiness, you can support Decoy Totems with Multiple Totems, Empower, Enhance supports - it'll make them way tankier. Level 21 on Spell Totem support for Storm Burst would help a bit too. And Vitality + Arrogance is an option (have to sacrifice life for it though). Vitality has 5x the effect on totems, so it'd give them effectively 1000+ life regen, which also helps a lot with surviving.

With the readdition of Totem Taunt on the tree, do you think it will ever be worth it to use Searing Bond tech instead of Decoy Totem to get an additional 5 maximum totems? Obviously they would have less health than Decoy Totem, but I feel like the potential to still have a taunt, plus the additional scaling on both our ascendancy AND Wood, Stone and Spell could make it an interesting pick for damage.
