3.21 Crucible League- Changes to the build
Spoiler

1. Sanctified Relic is no longer available in 3.21, we lose the access to Eldritch Battery because of this.
Spoiler
Drop Precision to release some reserved mana and take a mana cluster for some additional mana. Replaced "Life gain on hit support" on Frenzy with "Lifetap support". Added "Lifetap support" to leap slam and mark on hit setup.

You wont be able to spam totems anymore (still can comfortably do maps).


2. Spell Suppress chance apply to Critical Strike chance is removed from "Spell Suppression Mastery" in 3.21

3. Determination mana efficiency is removed from "Armour Mastery" in 3.21
Spoiler
Replaced with mana efficiency mastery from "Mana Mastery" instead







Introduction
This is the second totem build I make in this league, the first one being Artillery Ballista Deadeye (https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3336192). They both are built around Wilma's Requital helmet, but this build uses melee totem instead.

Overall, this build is not as new player friendly as the ballista build, because of its melee playstyle, multiple conditional buffs, which requires more skill to play. If you are new, I would recommend following the ballista build instead.

However, you are ok with melee playstyle, and looking for a fun build that can do uber bosses, this build will get you there.

Build Thought
Spoiler

This build is built around "Wilma's Requital" unique helmet.


The idea is to abuse the mod "Increase to cast speed also apply to attack speed. By self igniting, Mokou's Embrace essentially prvoide 96% attack speed per ring, which is super huge.



Why Melee Totem? Why Ancestral Protector instead of Warchief Totem?
Spoiler
I find one reliable way to self ignite is to hit myself with Boneshatter which requires melee weapon. Ancestral Protector do more single target damage, so I chose it over Warchief, you might play with Warchief Totem if you like it more, but you will need to tweak the skill tree abit.


Why Slayer instead of Chieftain?
Spoiler
I have made 2 ele build in this league, so I wanted to do a non-ele build. I feel like I need to go fire damage if being Chieftain, so I chose Slayer instead and go full physical.




Problems (Read before starting the build)
Spoiler


Damage over time
Spoiler

This build is vulnerable to damage over time damage. Because of the downside from Mokou's Embrace Rings, all monster damage can ignite you, therefore life regen will always be closed to 0 if not negative.

Strongly suggest to use "Soul of Arakaali" all the time. Get regen on hit enchant on boots.



I took some regen nodes on skill tree to help as well.
Consider taking totem leech mastery if you think you need more recovery. (I took critical strike chance totem mastery for more damage instead)

If you cannot find the enchant on POE trade, you can use tainted mythic orb on corrupted Solaris Circlet with the enchant, there is chance to turn it into "Wilma's Requital", not sure what is the odds, but I personally got it in 5 tries. Or just pay a lab runner to enchant for you.

Sanctified Relic (No longer available)
Spoiler

Unavailable


Use any Sanctified Relic with useful mods to the build and add Eldritch Battery keystone.

To add Eldritch Battery, you need to use "Lycia's Invocation of Eldritch Battery" on your relic. (Once you use invocation on sanctified relic, the sanctified relic will be corrupted and cannot be modified anymore, which means no other keystone can be added)

You should put Ancestral Protector in Atziri's Disfavour, it provide quality to socketed gem which will boost your dps.

Sanctified Relic.
Now the question is, which is the better build, melee totems or the ballista's? I have been looking over these and they look hella fun. I just thought the melee totems look kinda clunky but still fun. Which would you suggest?

I'd recommend ballista solely because it does better in sanctum.

(Edit : If budget is a concern, you might want to do this build instead, the price of the items I used in the ballista build has gone up quite a bit)
