Warbringer Shockwave Totems: 250k+ dps mapping / 350k+bossing. Easy T16s & Bossing. (Videos)

Nope, I hated it. The problem is that without a good source of recovery, this ends up being less tanky overall and feels worse to play, Next experiment is reinvest in armour and test out respeccing imploding impacts over to jade heritage. I'll let you know how it comes out, but unlikely to be worse in feel than hybrid life/ES without a good way to recover ES.

Glad you find it so. :>
Once you take the ascendancy, the animal spirits will be summoned automatically when you summon a totem.

Thank you for the guide it helped me a lot while leveling and gave me a lot of inspiration , so i tried a different approach , i switched to a hybrid version with es/grimfeast/atziris disdain , and it rock , i have around 5kes (whith grim) + 2.5k life , since i dont feel the need of life bounty i swaped it with heft , ele rez are capped but sitting at 61%chaos.
PS : you should add that devouring diadem helps a lot while lvling and early mapping in the guide , it was a big qol for me.

Most welcome. The direction you took things sounds interesting. Would love to tale a look at your tree and gear list of you have the time.

Hey sorry for my late reply , i dont have any for now , and to be frank , i dont see the need to , at least not via armor knowing how the formula is (far far worst then poe 1) , i think that as long as the armor problem is not solved the best way to mitigate phys dmg is by staking life/ES.

here is a video that explain how armor is working in poe 2 and why it is baaaaaad , btw , sitting at 8k es/life at the moment and there is still room to improve.

have nice day.

Edit : wrong quote my bad :) meant to quote your question about phys mitigation.

Lvl89, I'm sitting at 3,4k Life, 780 regen, resis 80/80/82/79, 190k AOE + 20% aftershocks
Missing a few fire res for ele weakness curse
Missing 5th socket, that will be next buy for 3d. I keep looking +2 fire and life regeneration jewels, but they just keep getting more expensive...
And then +7 maces, but those are just the cherry on the cake for me.

Even without knowing that armour is that bad, I didn't invest a single point in it, got lucky.

Willing to accept that ES may be the way to go, but I ask what you do for recovery of ES? My brief experiment went poorly because ES would go down during any hectic fight with no way to recover. We are too far from eternal youth, and giving up a belt slot for Shav's satchel seems a bit much . . . though maybe that would be the right idea after all . . . . Thoughts?

After I was reading how armour works in POE2 for now, I changed to cloak of flames and now I almost breezing through tier 15s, tbh I didn't read if you guys were testing this too, but I feel a lot tankier, even if I miss a bit of res and life from body armour.

T15s and T16s aren't the problem. 3k life + 9k armour + decent rezzes and they are all fine (cept 25 ele pen, which is a dumb stat anyway). Even a lot of the pinnacle content is fine with those stats. It's the tail end of the endgame I am focused on. Specifically Xesht on difficulty 4 and Delirium on difficulty 3 and 4. Build is more or less fine for the rest of the game (Arbiter just requires that I improve my skill-check). But I'm not sure it will scale that last little bit without changing it drastically. Or perhaps some very expensive ger upgrades. Little frustrating. Will give the problem more thought.

Hi there , grim feast is more than enough for ES recovery while mapping works wonder , each remanant you take makes you recover 150es (lvl16 gem) , so as long as you are killing monster you will never have es probleme , in burning ground it's a bit difficult but still doable , i also would recomand using an 'Expert altar robe ' with 50% faster start implicit , you can also take zealot's oath but i dont see the need of it atm.

Remember grim feast is OP , if you are at max es it makes it overflow , if not it recharge it , too bad im at a point where i need to choose between strenght=more life=more ES , or int=more lvl of grim feast , i even took the reduced gems/items attributes requirement next to polymath , but my gem is still lvl16 , im even considiring removing removing Titanic anointment for insightfulness , will see how it goes. Hope it helps.

just a quick question, can we do the same thing with this build but switch it with rolling slam, it doesnt seem good at mapping but seem better DPS on boss?
