[No longer updated] Pizza Sticks: Flameblast Totem Hierophant

Ok thanx, with POB better configuration im right now a 101 K DPS Thanx all !!!

Hey folks who are playing FB version of this build and above lv89, what is your POB dps without flasks and charges?

I have finally switched to the Glacial Cascade Gem from FB. I went to level 79 with FB and the setup in the initial post. I am glad I switched it is definitely much faster clearing and survival is so much easier. I'm sitting at level 83 now.

My current question is about the dual Kikazru rings. I'm experimenting with the rings, and they do seem to have an advantage with curses. Once you guys switched did you replace your gear to make up for the lost resistances My Fire resist is sitting at 46% and when I pull a map that has fire damages I've just been using a flask to up the resists, Cold is at 75% (79) and Lightning at 75% (115 from the rings of course). So normally I like to bump the resists up to 120% max and it is far easier to survive that way.
That would require upgrading some of the gear.

I can get more fire resist on my gloves, they are only at 22% and my circlet is at 23% but to switch gear it will cost at least an ex or two total. I do have that, but was wondering what everyone else ended up doing? Upgrading the head and gloves?

I am still only doing up to tier8 maps, as I fear dying if I try pushing it right now.


My other question is more about Kaom's Roots and the Essence Worm? Anyone here using the Rings, the boots, and the Ammy? I feel that would require additional changes in the tree and the gear. I did see one post from NaarJitsu with the rings and boots, but I believe that was the only one.
What is the majority of you guys doing?

I have other questions, but I will ask them in a new post.

Is this HC viable?

I've loved playing this build. Question though, should I focus on armor, es, or evasion? I'm struggling with staying alive like in the videos. Nobody question

There is Elementalist notable near Templar start for +12% to all ele resist. Swap jewels with ele resist. Craft items with open suffixes.

Totem build is generally considered as hc viable as long as you have good mechanical dodge skill, utilize multiple layers of defense, and not try to facetank anything. GC is safer than FB due to chills and freezes.

Mixture of all three with MOM and defensive curses like Temp Chain or Enfeeble will help. Using a caster shield instead of dual wielding will provide more life, es, and block chance.

Thanks for the build! Seems very strong. Only tried the glacial cascade version but certainly gets stuff done!

I wanted to get some input on what people have found to be the best Major and minor god. I know the two mentioned in the original post (Lunaris + Ryslatha) but wanted to hear if people actually found those to be good?!


I feel like a lot of the Lunaris tree is wasted as generally bosses are the hardest content to face, and thus it would make sense to me to run a boss which benefits vs bosses.
Solaris seems a decent ish choice but many of the bosses do summon things regularly so you would lose the single unit buff a lot of the time and its useless the rest of the time which is a little disappointing. (Ive never used the crit stuff on it but that could be useful i suppose.)

I feel like all the major gods have their niches but I struggling to decide which one i want to waste my divine vessels on. Brine king seems good for survivability. Although I was lucky enough to drop a taste of hate and already have a freeze immune flask so its chill + freeze stuff seems much less valuable.
Perhaps the choice is arakalli by process of elimination? Although maybe it is in fact lunaris but only for the unlockable perks.
Thoughts?

As for minor the life flask regen seems really minor at best although the regen is a nice boost.

Other choices which seems decent for the build imo are Gruthkul as physical resistance seems lacking to me atm. (although i suppose that doesnt do much vs a boss)
Or ralakesh. As i spend a lot of time moving to avoid people while the totems do work so perhaps the bleed + that are worth it. although I do have a bleed reduction flask and maim is not that bad with the curse reduction rings.


Cheers for peoples inputs.

Atm im leaning towards Grthkul for my minor and im not sure about major!!
