[No longer updated] Pizza Sticks: Flameblast Totem Hierophant

Where does this build generate its power charges? I'm struggling to find the answer to this.

I saw you got vortex in your build, and people with culling strike on the orb of storm but with is not useless with ancestral bond ? Im missing something i guess

You are right we cannot deal damage ourselves with Ancestral Bond so Vortex is to chill and slow mobs down while Culling Strike to kill mobs with less than 10% health without Orb of Storm dealing damage.

Ok so culling strike still working that's a very interesting new !

Power charge on critical on orb of storm, you spawn between pack and can go clearing map with full power charge easy

flameblast or dark pact bbuild ?

Trying to 6 link GC. What gems should I use as 5 and 6? Faster casting and increased crit dmg?

Thinking of using this as a build starter next league. What are your thoughts? does it take long to get into? How quickly is it able to smash uber lab? I find that a good way to get currency early.

I’m currently level 90 with this build and hope to take on shaper once I get a 6link. Following the thread it seems that the two main ways to deal with curses is either dual kikazaru rings or curse removal pots. I typically run curse pots with Essence Worm ring as my go to setup but I also have the gear to run dual Kikazaru.

My question is how do people run dual Kikazaru and have enough mana to cover MoM after reserving Hatred? I have 5000 life which means I need 1500 unreserved mana at a minimum. I have about 2000 mana before Hatred and don’t see how I could get that number to 3000. Are people getting their mana this high? Not running Hatred? Or just accepting their MoM pool is low? Or am I completely missing something? Thanks in advance!

My take is not to put too much focus on that supposely 500 mana shortage if your goal is shaper or even uber atziri since most probably this build would be one shotted if one fails to dodge, 1500 mana or not. I would try to get more crit and dps to shorten the fight. I have beaten guardians and shaper doing so.

Made this my first templar recently, leveling was a pain once i got to A8~ and tried to yolorush everything with goldrim/tabula etc and getting stunlocked lmao, got better overtime.

Flameblast feels clunky so i might hop on the GC train, testing setups and leveling for now.


Level 74
4555 Hp
1832 mana (677 unreserved)
128.6 m.regen/sec

GC feels a lot better since my totems get 1shot extremely easy which makes it impossible when theres multiple mobs hitting at the same time. Obviously i'm positioning them somewhere safe and trying to split them sometimes so they don't get blown up at the same time but it's been hard.
Went Sceptre + Shield since i got good ones for cheap.

Gear(updated level 80)





EDIT: Breaches are pretty much impossible atm, totems get 1shot even on white/yellow maps with no damage mods, using GC - Conc - Inc.Crit - Faster Casting - Phys2Light - Spell Totem, extremely frustrating, damage is fine though.
Currently 122% cast speed unbuffed, 167% with Virtue/A.Surge.
Will probably get the totem life+res on Ancestral Bond/Totemic Mastery clusters, 3 points for 35% totem life/26% ele res/10% phys res.

Just finished Uber at level 80 and it was a faceroll!

I've been following this guide and I gotta say, this is one of the most interesting builds I have ever played in any ARPG! Good job man and keep it up!

Anyone playing GC variant without Soul Mantle? Got the helm enchant and swapped some stuff around



A bit better but still, nowhere close to freezing map bosses, seems like its not possible to scale damage high enough to freeze up to T15~?

I know Soul Mantle + Kikazaru's/Self Flagelation will give highest possible dps, i'm planning on keeping 6L rare, possibly 6l soul mantle if i really get into it, but use anti-curse flasks.

EDIT : Self flagellation actually doesn't sound that impressive, you're sacrificing 2 rings and 1 jewel for 160% increased assuming you have 8 curses on you all the time, you could get something like triple crit multi jewel and HP + dmg/stats/res rings.

Might even resell the helm since the damage is pretty much the same, and the extra cold isn't enough for the freeze.

Playing around on PoB i'm getting 112k dps per totem(avg hit 51k), 5.5k hp, 898/2355 mana and 240 mregen.
With Soul Mantle i'm getting 180k~ ish, though i don't think PoB is factoring in the totem from the chest.

What do you guys think, would T16/Uber/Shaper be alright with this setup?

Level 92 ^

EDIT: Removed the Blast Radius cluster, 4 points for 30% damage and 1 radius seems pretty bad, gave me points for 3x totem life/res and 5% hp, much better now!
1 radius is not even noticeable, and 30% damage isn't much, there's better options if you wanna go full damage, like grabbing Will of Blades/Fangs of the Viper, total of 56% phys, 20% crit, 5% move and 20 dexterity, also gets you closer to Blood Drinker/Nullification in case you wanna spec that.
