Tried 2 set uber elder, seems not possible due to ancestral warchief totem range (both Concentrated Effect/Area). Shaper constantly killing totems with beam and bolts while trying to hit elder. Totems live aprox 1-2 seconds near elder before they die, due to placement speed they only hit once then dies. I barely took %40 health from both bosses before all portals used.

We need another solution or another 6 link setup for this. @WaffleT any suggestion?

If its as bad as you say then this boss might just be a boss that totems don't really work on, google only results in 1 totem build taking it down and couldn't do it deathless.

It surprises me the Heiro stuggled that much as between this and the scion molten strike variant of this build I would have considered the heirophant the more reliable boss killer due to its range but as far as my memory goes 2 people from each build posted their uber elder spawn and the heirophant players failed where the scion players succeeded.

Thats a real shame, I recognise that this fight has alot more bullet hell that takes down totems but I thought the heirophant would have near unlimited sustain since it can kite and get all its ES back without flasks or attacking. I did not manage to get the fight to spawn for myself so sorry I won't be much help with tips

So you use incandescent heart instead. Is your tree a lot different? I think it must be since you seem to have a lot more ES. Or maybe you just got more int/ES on jewels?

Halls of The Grandmaster have been cleared. I made a post about it earlier in this thread, but I made a few updates to the build. This tweak is just for halls, but it also works well in mapping, etc.

Helm---Run increased enfeeble enchant
Chest---Block chance reduction support, Concentrated Effect, Elemental Damage, Damage on Full Life, Elemental Focus---I took out ruthless for pvp.
Phase run helps with movement. I run it in the claw socket.

Two curses: Enfeeble, Poacher's Mark. The 2nd curse was acquired using a +1 curse astramentis---not cheap.

The goal is to reduce incoming damage/accuracy, strip down block chance, and be mobile. Don't be afraid to play it safe and tacitly. One fight lasted ten mins.

This was my 3rd attempt at halls tweaking gear around a bit...and it was almost deathless. I got aggressive at the end. I posted a more detailed play style a few pages back. Anyhow, it's possible, and, likely farm able.

**I do have a lot of currency into this build, so it definitely isn't cheap...but I think a clear can still be achieved making minor changes.

So, I tinkered with what I thought was Scotts variations...I dont think I have everything down, but I did switch to an Incandescent Heart, and changed out blind for:

Orb of Storms, faster casting, increased critical strikes. This allows you to lay down orb and get a nice dps boost from totems procing lightning, and keep your dps up all while remaining mobile. For a 4th gem I would recommend increased duration.

Anyhow, with the IH and the Orb of Storms mod, DPS shoots through the roof in maps and on boss encounters...survival is roughly the same imo, because unless you have super expensive gear, the loss of ES just isnt worth the chaos to elemental damage reduction. It took me from 14k to 12.2, but thats more than enough ES for my build. A very nice boost and a bit different of playstyle from blind. I like it.
