Need help with my ancestral warchief build

"

Totems allies are not considered to be minions, and are therefore not affected by minion-specific modifiers such as increased Minion Damage and Minion Instability.

"

Skills used by totems are affected by the player's passive skills, equipment, and linked support gems. Skills used by totems use the player's weapon when applicable.

Hi,

I took a quick look at your tree and noticed a lot of minion nodes. Totems do not count as minions so those nodes are useless. To quote the wiki :

Also, you have both critical strike nodes and Resolute Technique. Choosing RT means that your hits can't be evaded, but you don't deal critical strikes.


Hope this helps.

Take a look at my tree. Left click my name on the right, and click the characters tab. Take note of my weapons. They are dirt cheap and are amazing for the price. The offhand is perhaps one of the best weapons possible outside of a 10ex shaper axe/sword.

Edit: I haven't bothered to gather other links like immortal call yet. Been playing Warchief totems so long, and build it so tanky, I don't even bother half of the time to put anything together. Have died maybe 3 times in 2 years on Hardcore? Something like that.

A totem is not a minion. There is no passive skill or keystone that will turn a totem into a minion. There is nothing stopping you from taking every minion node on the tree if you want, but don't be surprised when you get facerolled by white mobs.
