[3.26]juju's Shockwave Totem Guide || King of Sanctum || Blight || League start || Boss and mapping!

Having trouble figuring out details with the switch to low life.

The "Maps low life" variant in the PoB drops Arcanist Brand for casting Vortex + Bonechill, but still uses Heatshiver and Hypothermia which rely on Chill. In Configuration "Is the Enemy Chilled?" is just force-enabled with 30% Effect. But where is this ailment coming from?

For my char dropping Vortex cut DPS by more than half. And even with Vortex enabled it only provided 14% effect of Chill.

Started the league late and enjoying the build so far, thanks!

More damage = more chill effect. But for vortex it has chilling ground that chills and where the extra damage comes from. If remember right its around 15% more cold damage from bonechill. Vortex bonechill has lower chill effect than from shockwave totem. Anyway because using ancestral bond our vortex cant even deal damage but chilling ground from it still works.

I was using kintic bolt/blast one just for fun. Had kinda ok clear :P But seriously you dont need a damage merc and should probably use a more defencive one with determination. Then items that increase overall damage. There are some items that increase cold/fire damage nicely and you can find them on generic merc item guides. Did not mess too much with mercs but i had one when did mega juiced blight farming in maps, in sanctum it was uselesss and just not worth to have ^^

i see i will try look guide up ya need more def for sure good id. thanks for help !

Thanks for sharing. I used this to learn Sanctum and dropped an original scripture early on :)

After switching to maps, I used rare armors to be more tanky and have more chaos res. I liked crafting "36% Attack/Cast Speed While Focused" on gloves. If you use Vaal Haste their cooldowns are similar in maps so it's big buff. Pretty funny to hear the difference, and shield charge goes zoom. I also got "Double Damage While Focused" on my weapons before upgrading.

Replaced my 6link with Archdemon Crown for +levels to skill gem, and it gave me gem sockets back. Shield gave spell damage and crit instead of mana reservation, I think it's a good enough boost vs having another aura but not sure honestly


even low level explicits on the helm was good. Getting better mods on it would be big.

AG keeps dying outside of Sanctum lol. I didn't want to waste mods on minions, and sad about needing a gem socket for Meat Shield. So might run some other fun 4link instead. Cold Snap for Frenzy Charges. Large Frost Wall. idk. AG is really good in Sanctum tho obviously, you truly are memeing if you're not using it there

I did level to 100 in maps. It was kinda stressful the entire time lol. Used Progenesis instead of Atziri flask, and Frost Shield was helpful since totem build doesn't stand near anything. Sanctum was great early leveling.

Overall very nice, feels like I'm "filling in" the blank areas of the atlas with my totems while dodging packs and shouting curses at rares and bosses. Fun playstyle.
