POE 3.3 Templar Builds For ARC Totem Hierophant

In 3.3 Shimmeron is quite pricey because we all play trap/totem. Can we choose a different solution? Yes:

I have played the whole 3.2 league with ~150k DPS per totem (maxed out at level 93).

In 3.3 you will achieve this DPS with a 5L Soul Mantle and without any weapons.

If you like shield charge/whirling blade use a dagger/scepter + shield or dual wield them this will let you add fortify.

You will eventually want Shimmeron but you can farm Elder until it drops (from my experience it should not be that rare. It dropped 2 times out of ~15 fights during Abyss/Bestiary leagues) or buys them if their cost drop under 20c!

Achievements:

- Red Elder (T15) Done;

- Shaper Guardians Done;

- Uber Atziri Done;

- Shaper Done;

- Uber Elder Pending.

Since the crit chance loss from controlled destruction doesn't apply to the base chance the net loss is actually really small, with diamond flask up it can mean dropping from like 90% effective crit down to like 83%, with 5 totems all rolling their own chance to crit, it's really not noticeable.

Pro and Con

+Fast;

+Cheap(Without 6L Soul Mantle);

+Fun(if you don't dislike totems).

-6L soul mantle is expensive;

-Primary defense is movement. We have low evasion and armor.

Highlights

- We have MoM (4700hp + 2200 mana).

- We use ARC (500k+ DPS per Totem). Fast clear and comfortable play.

- We have 5 totems.

- We kite around for safety.

Leveling

30 passives:

-You will play as a spellcaster, with heralds. Use whatever weapons you like(wands, dagger).

You can use mana jewel for smoother leveling or skip the jewel node.

60 passive:

-Still self cast+totems.Use essence worm(wrath)+clear mind when the damage is enough to compete with heralds. Switch to Moonsorrow if you haven't a better weapon.

90 passives:

- Full totems (4 with tabula rasa or 5 with soul mantle). Ascendancy "Conviction of Power" is a huge QoL, switch to Shimmerons when you pick this passive. Pick MoM when you feel your life isn't enough (respect 3 passives to pick also the mana behind MoM).

Enchantment

Helm: Arc chain. It's not mandatory but useful.

Gloves: No enchant or no damage enchant. Otherwise, you could crit with it and degen from Shimmerons.

Boots (Uber Lab):

1) 10% Damage penetration. The best vs bosses.

2) 1-160 lightning damage. Very close to "penetration" DPS and better for general mapping.

3) 120% crit chance.

Gems

(or conductivity/enfeeble + increased duration + arcane surge + spell cascade/increased area)

flame dash + phase run + increased duration + faster casting

(or lightning warp + faster casting + less duration + swift affliction)

FAQ

- What are the differences between GC and ARC totem?

GC is best for bosses and has a good clear speed.

ARC is best for clear and good for bosses.

- What about 2x Kikazaru + Self-Flagellation jewel?

This combination adds DPS but loses a lot of EHP. The curse will still apply at 20% of effectiveness. Worth it? Not for me.

- What about the curse from Soul Mantle?

Diamond flask of Warding (remove curse + immune to curse) is enough to negate curses from Soul Mantle. It will be up 99% of the time if used with "Ample" or "Chemist's" prefix.

- When the "400 lightning damage from Shimmeron" apply?

Shimmeron text: "400 Lightning Damage taken per second per Power Charge if YOU have dealt a Critical Strike Recently"

Totem is different entities from you. Shimmeron will not apply any damage to you nor to them because you are not dealing any critical hit.

The damage from shimmer on will occur to you, if you deal a critical hit to an enemy, for example using a movement skill (flame dash or lightning warp).

- How much does this differ from Mathil's Arc Totem build/guide?

ITEMS:

- Mathil uses a rare chest that gives him life, resists and some DPS.

- I use Soul Mantle that gives serious DPS and some minor QoL.

TREE:

- Mathil went for Scion life wheel and Totemic Mastery resulting in more life and QoL.

- I skipped those nodes because inefficient (I'm not saying they are bad, just inefficient) resulting in less life and more offensive tree.

TL: TR

Defensive option: Mathil items + Mathil tree.

Offensive option: Soul Mantle + my tree.

Middle way: Soul Mantle + Mathil tree (my tree with Mathil's items would still be a middle way but weaker).

- Why Elemental Focus

Normally shock would be better but high life pool bosses will not be shocked. In the latter case, Elemental Focus is the best. During mapping, your damage will be more than enough anyway.

TL: TR

Use EF because the DPS is enough during mapping and is the best support gem for high life pool bosses.

- Why Elemental Focus is the 6th gem?

Because it helps just vs hard bosses and you will eventually have a 6L by then. If you got 5L or a non-Soul Mantle 6L drop it to have the possibility to shock.

- Leveling questions:

Don't bother with the best setup during leveling. Use whatever items the game drop. Use whatever gems with spell totem. The DPS will still be enough anyway.

Follow Koros line during leveling. With 2/3 totems you will be rolling contents.

- Vaal ARC:

Still testing but at the moment feel "MHE". We cast the totem that fire 1 hit (really strong) and give shock + power up to others ARC totems. The problem is that we are now attacking with "n-1" totems and to have all totems up we have to resummon them all.

TL: TR

Still testing but not sure if I will use it instead of a 21 ARC.

- Shimmers is expensive:

Totally true. Will I pay for it? NO.

In 3.2 the DPS of each totem was ~150k. In 3.3, with the same items, is ~500k.

Is Shimmeron the best DPS item? YES.

Will I need it for clear all content? No. We can use dagger + shield or dual dagger/dual wand. The DPS will much lower but still more than 3.2 Shimmeron setups.
