Cheap Elemental Shockwave totem HC 2.2 build (Perandus HC)

Hi, I decided to share this build i made (known as the pompombuild ^^ ) as it works pretty nice with a relatively cheap stuffing, can do late game and is noob-friendly ^^

Pros
It's a nice build to start a league because it s cheap
Noob-friendly due to the large amount of life and the fact that totems can tank a lot
Good option to play with low FPS
Very good damage in a large area of effect
Can do T11 maps with 8 modes with relative ease
Can play almost any mod (even played a blood magic map with no trouble)
Can do almost any boss
Can reach "elemental weakness" elemental resistence cap with ease
Pretty fast with whirling blade

Problems
Can't leech
Have to avoid "chain 2 times" map mod
Have to use the essence worm unique ring
Have to craft an offcolor armor
have to get Dex in stuff to support hatred
Have to use several different skills manually


In the final setup (lvl 91 to 93, i m actually at 92) you shoud have 6.2K life + 2K mana used as life with a pretty nice damage.
In the "Boss Setup" (using concentrated effect) i reach around 62K damage per totem in the tooltip.
Note that the tooltip doesn't count the fact that i do 25% increased damage agains mobs with ailments
(celestial punishment) and it doesn't count all the buffs i get from ascendance (righteous providence & inevitable judgement).

Stuff i m using

Flasks

Spoiler


Jewels
Anatomical Knowledge under "Mind of matter"
Clear Mind in the Scion entrance
Energized Armour near"Faith and Steel"
Rare jewel with 7% life and some damage (Physical damage, area damage, spell damage, cast speed...) over the witch

Progression
You can up with almost any skill. I advise lightning tendrils, freezing pulse...
Try to stay around the level of the map (2 lvls more or less is ok)
Use a wand (lifesprig) untill you can get a spell damage dagger
Around lvl 45 equip a 5L chest you can buy @ poe.trade for a handfull of chaos (take a armour + ES base and craft high life)

Then :
1 - go to Dry Lake merciless ^^
2 - farm there untill lvl75
3 - Start wearing the Worm ring + MoM + Clear mind
4 - farm Crypt map to get 2 "Celestial justicar" cards and buy the others to get a 6L astral plate
5 - Craft the chest with alteration to get "reduced requirements"
6 - Craft colors then with chaos orbs to get a nice roll of life and armour
7 - Go to late game ^^
