The Oumandigon™, An Indigon Crit Ice Spear Totem Hiero with 0.25 shapers per seconds





Introduction

Welcome to my lastest build. It has been a while since my last guide. This time i made an indigon Crit Ice spear Totems Hierophant. This is by far my strongest build offensively and defensively and it doesn’t even cost that much for what it can do. It deletes endgame bosses while being very tanky.

Pros and cons
Spoiler

Pros :
Insane damage compared to the cost of the build (18ex invested from me)
Very high damage against bosses
Decent clear speed
Very tanky. Do not be fooled by the 4000 life. There is more than 6000 mana with 4000 mana regenerated per second and 60% MoM (damage taken from mana before life).
Can do all map mods except No regen
All the bosses except Uber Elder are a walkover without any danger.



Cons :
It can be hard to fill up all resistances




Stats
Spoiler

The top damage of Indigons is a bit variable. Depending on the conditions, it can go from 1 to 2.5 million dps per totem. We also may not have constantly 5 totems up and everytime we recast a totem, we do it 2 by 2.


Recommended gear
Spoiler


Weapons : A Shimmeron.

Shield : I use a Trolltimber Spire since level 20. Even if there is only 0.5% damage leeched, we do so much damage that the leech rate becomes huge. Totem leech is a very underrated defensive mechanic. If you don’t want to use Trolltimber Spire, you can use a shield with life, mana regen and resistances or a wand with mana regen, cast speed, crit multi and flat mana.

Helmet : The Indigon. The build is based around it. It got severely nerfed in the 3.5 patch by reducing the % spell damage per 200 mana from 60 to 25. It’s not even that easy to reach the 2000% spell damage cap. I am currently at around 1500% spell damage. If it didn’t get nerfed, we would have absolutly absurd amounts of peak damage of 8 millions per totems (40 millions dps total)

Chest : Cloak of Defiance. The 1% mana regen and flat mana is too good to pass up. And it also have 10% MoM.

Gloves : Rare gloves with Life and resistances. If you can, try to get cast speed on them.

Boots : Rare boots with life, resistances and movement speed. You can buy boots without movement speed and craft it yourself at the crafting bench. It is also important to take the Regenerate 2% of Life and Mana per second if you were Hit Recently enchant.

Amulet : Atziri’s Foible. It is best in slot. Even rare blue marble amulets with mana recovery rate, mana regen and flat mana can’t come close to it. I find it quite sad.

Rings : Rare rings with life, mana regen and resistances. If you find some with flat mana on top it it, go for it.

Belt : Rare leather belt with life, mana recovery speed and some resistances.

Jewels : Rain of Splinters x1, Grand Spectrum x3, Clarity Watcher’s Eye with mana recovery rate (and 10% MoM) x1, Healthy Mind x1 at at the top of the Witch spawn.

Leveling
Spoiler

Level 1: Slap on a Goldrim, a String of servitude with all resistances corruption and all the regular leveling gear. Try to get a Tabula Rasa a +2 projectile gems level. It costs 15-25c and you can resell it later. Use projectile spells like Freezing Pulse, Frostbolt or Magma orb.

Level 10: Put two Axiom Perpetuums.

Level 20: Around that level, you can take the Ancestral Bond keystone. Put the spell totem and Ice spear inside your tabula rasa. Slot a Rain of Splinters jewel.

Level 33: Do the first labyrinth and take the Pursuit of Faith node.
Levels 20-65: Take life, spell crit and multiplier, mana, mana regen on the tree. Look at the final tree and progressively take all the nodes i took from the templar to the shadow.

Level 55: Do the second labyrinth and take the Conviction of Power node for power and endurance charge generation.
Level 65: Time to put a Shimmeron. The degen coming from the Shimmeron is totally absorbed by the 5% life regen coming from the 5 totems and Mind over Matter.

Level 69: This is when the build starts. You can now equip Indigon. This is also the time your put the mana recovery belt, the Watcher’s Eye with mana recovery while having Clarity, the boots with the 2% life and mana regen if you were hit recently enchant. If you have a 5 or 6 linked Cloak of Defiance, it’s also the right time to put it on. Do the third lab at this moment and take Ritual of Awakening.
So the uber labyrinth at around 75. At this point it should be very easy. Place your totems and run in circles.

Tips and tricks
Spoiler

- You don't need absolutely need the +1 projectile Ice Spear enchant on the Indigon. There were a few available when i started the build and i don't see any now.

- Take an Indigon with 25% spell damage per 200 mana. For each percent less, you will have around 100% missing spell damage.

- Take a Watcher eye with (6-10)% of Damage taken from Mana before Life while affected by Clarity on top of the (20-30)% increased Mana Recovery Rate while affected by Clarity mod.

- Do not use a second Shimmeron. It will actually lower your damage because the mana regen reduction coming from the dot damage outweighs the damage coming from the wand itself.

Quick question: how good is it after the gigantic Indigon nerf? Are all of those achievements and numbers post nerf?
Last edited by Meisher on Jan 3, 2019, 6:22:22 PM
The build is done in Betrayal with the nerfed Indigon. It is still very good after the gigantic nerf.

If the nerf didn't happen, i would have around 8 millions dps per totem. and 40 millions total.

if you cant get the extra ice spear on circlet will it still work?
also if I had to run this as 5 socket which would I use? burned thru hundreds of fuses so far.
I tried this out and it's ok. Had plenty of problems with being stunned by enemies. You're really running for your life with this build. To map clear I put in arc/chain.
TotemArcticBreath is my character and my tooltip is 3500 damage 15,000 ramped up and I can kill nothing. Trash mobs take ten plus hits......

I copied the build point for point and very close on the items.

Help ?
Hi,

I'm about to start this build.
I see some people are having troubles with surviving.
Can you please post a video of a map-run and some delve maybe?

Thanks

Yes. You will still have a lot of damage to take on all content.

Ice spear - Spell Totem - Multiple Totems - Controlled Destruction - Elemental Focus

If you want to freeze and shatter for a bit more defense, use Increased Critical Damage.

Take note that one less link means less mana cost so the ramp up time will be longer.

Did you take the Brine King pantheon? i find it very comfortable even for CI characters that don't have stun immunity. Since this build have multiple empty sockets, it's a good idea to have a map clear setup like yours.

Link your gear here and your character stats (mainly the total mana and maan regen rates) so i can take a look. Usually, if you don't have enough damage with an indigon, you either don't have enough total mana or enough mana regen.

I just made a video of a T15 Summit clear on a 5 link, without the ice spear projectile enchant, without a dying sun and without a watcher's eye. I intentionally took some hits to show the tankyness of the build.

Thank you for this build. I'm really enjoying it. I just hit 85ish or so and it has been a breeze. It is the tankiest 3k hp character I've ever played, I don't even think I've died yet.

A few things that I've learned through discovery -

The extra projectiles are really important. With Dying Sun I finally feel like I can delete bosses. Without Dying Sun you may as well just play with arc. It makes a huge difference. I can't get my hands on an extra projectile Indigon but I can imagine how much nicer it feels with it.

If you don't have the currency to buy items like the watchers eye or the 6 link cloak or dying sun, just go arc instead of ice spear. Can easily get over 250k damage per totem on a 5 link and crush the game. Indigon carries hard.

Mana recovery rate is incredibly important. I'd prioritise it over getting the MoM clarity watchers. Damage literally quadrupled with just 30% mana recovery. It also helped my tankiess.


Just out of interest, did you try the build with a +1 totem shield? I genuinely feel like the leech is unnecessary at times and another totem + more mana regen and life regen could make it even crazier.

I'd love for you to take a look at my character and make some suggestions, if you can see anything glaringly obviously wrong.
