[2.5 Breach] Tri-Flame Totem Chieftan With Loads of Defense

In prophecy, I played Pohx's tanky flame totem uber build and loved it, so after seeing the new shield that will be released with 2.5, I had to try and create a build around it.

All (x/x) values are (Level/Quality)

If my math is accurate, the build should have somewhere near 6K life and 20-30K armour with 800+ life regen per second with all endurance charges up and capped physical damage reduction. The totems will be tanking for you for the most part, so you shouldn't need to worry about taking alot of damage anyway. In addition to these layers of defense, the build should also be doing somewhere around 100-150K single target dps and 300K+ multitarget/AoE dps.

Updated the build a bit to make uber lab easier and to make the totems tankier. Also made the guide/theorycraft cleaner.

Taking a second look, I revised the tree to include mortal conviction. Bumped the life from 222% to 249% and includes the blood magic for low level at the cost of like 3% resists and .8 life regen or something. Thanks bud.

It's a flame totem build mate. I'm using the second essence worm for purity of elements, which is what the ring slot would be for anyway, plus the purity affects the totems and golem. The only thing we're really losing is potential life and cast speed, the life is made up on the boots which I can use because I don't need the sockets. Plus, as a BM build, reserving your life for stuff makes you less tanky. 2x essence worm is a no brainer.

Erm, was it not obvious that it was a BM character? O.O Although, you might have some merit with the Enlighten bit. I'd have to figure out a way to spend less than 27-29% of my life, but if I could do so I could manage to also run Determination for more armour for myself and my totems/golem.

I don't... ;)

As for the tree, I don't see Elemental Overload, pretty much a must have for a non-crit Flame Totem Chieftain.

And why have Minion and Totem Elemental Resistances in the gem setup? With the Tukohama ascendancy the totems become immune to Fire Damgae so reflect maps are no longer an issue. Base resistances have been increaseded recently so the totems can take some serious abuse from other elemental damage, there is absolutely no need for this gem. Better add Faster Projectiles.

Personally I prefer Hinekora over the Endurance Charge malarky from Ramako. 10% Fire Penetration and Leech makes much more sense. Thanks to Tukohama your totems permanently taunt enemies so you will hardly take any damage, thus mitigation via endu charges goes pretty much to waste.
