About your Note concerning Ele Overload
you're right, totems don't proc ele Overload

but you can proc it with Orb of Storms or something like it, even if you use ancestral bond.

it still crits, it just does not deal dmg. and your totems will get the 40% more ele dmg from ele overload.

I'd suggest to not play it as a crit & accuracy build, instead go with Resolute Technique.

Simply because this build lacks the necessary amount of crit damage and you shock also without the laughable amount of crit this build has offer, and your low accuracy makes you hit less often which is a serious issue in higher tier maps and the delve, i would even go further and say that the low accuracy and crit chance even nullifies the benefits of critting a target because you miss too often and it's even worse with evasive targets.


Other than that not the fastest clearspeed (i'd say somewhere in the happy medium) but heck it's IMHO in the top 5 of the most powerful DD builds i know of, it's extremely strong and even stronger in groups accompanied by an aura bot, the damage is totally galactic.

Thank you for your post.
Maximum damage-wise you don´t need to focus on crit chance with this build.
This build shocks emenies with nearly 100% on hit, due to the mechanic of the Yoke of Suffering" amulet and the skilltree. Shocked enemies take 50% increased damage. Just chesk stats in PoB.

So this is nearly a perma 50% damage boost (although with a low crit chance of around 20-30%). Every projectile of a single totem (3-6 projectiles - depends on gear setup) can apply with 20-30% on top a critical strike with a fairly enough crit multiplier of around 200-250% (depends on gear and skilltree). With great gear you´ll have a chance to hit of around 90%, in my eyes quite enough.

There is no issue at delve depth 350+ with this build -> quite kindergarden... I´ve played an ele wander (Queenliness Wanderfinder) and it isn´t in reach for any other build in case of speedfarming (due to the Queen of the forrest mechanic & AoE). But with nice flasks, phase run, movement speed on belt and boots, it feeld pretty fast. Through the piercing mechanic, everything is oneshot on a T15 map, the projectiles fly 3 screens long. you have always your flasks up at good densety. I guess no meele build can clear as fast (perhaps faster movement, but not oneshot 3 screens wide everything). On a map like Maze of the Minotaur (tube-like level design) you just start running and stand just to cast 1-3 totems and start running again... Overall I think this build is a very balanced combination of speed and capability to slay every boss in the game pretty easily...

Another character class than a hierophant will decrese the total damage output significantly, due to the two extra totems from the ascendency.
You loose 2 out of 5 totems (plain 40% damage output loss). No other class will compensate this loss with a higher crit chance.

Example calcutalion:
5 totems with 2 millions DPS per totem = 10 million output (hierophant)
another character class with 50% more damage per totem (unlikely) means 3 million DPS per totem but only 3 totems at a time = 9 million total output.

I doubt that any other class will carry more total damage output with ele hit totem, than a hierpophant. But perhaps I´ll learn something new too :-)

Cheers

OMG, I am soooo sorry.
It's viewable now.

Gear-wise:
1) I reviewed your gear -> your Chin Sol has just 11% attack speed -> I would go for at least 13%.
2) Your skirmish hasn´t the right corruption yet.
3) Your ring with "curse on hit" destroys the Flammbility mechanic with blasphemy -> way more damage due to greater debuff with flammbility.
AND keep in mind -> your enemies can only have one curse at a time, so in your current setup you curse them with flammability and when you hit them, you overwrite that curse with the curse on hit (ring) with assassins mark.
My advice: don´t use that ring...
4) You can´t use temporal chains (same reason as in 3)
5) Your next targets should be: tombfist with 2 sockets & the helmet with enchantment

Skilltree-wise:
1) "Holy Fire" Note doen´t deal that much damage. The scale effent isn´t that high -> If you search for further damage, Heartseeker (for 3 Points) is your choice.
2) You miss some really important life notes... (Revenge of the Hunted, Bravery, Heart of Oak) If you ever feel you are too squichy, respec some damage notes to life notes. I strongly recommend a minimum of 5.5k life to do the uberelder.

Hope I could inspire you.
Cheers

Hi, so I'm a new player who started to play just month ago. Tried 2 different builds, now trying this one. Just reached lvl 80 yesterday have some normal gear, some bad gear. Looking at your elemental hit dps, and looking at mine i can see difference of 10 times i have 23k and you have 200k. My items look like that, the question is why is the difference so big it cant just be items, or maybe I'm missing something. I understand that gloves are bad and trying to get better ones, skill tree is like yours, gems aren't bad so why such difference in dps? Yoke need attack speed and so on but such difference?
