- High AoE coverage
- High HP + Mind over Matter on top of that

Cons:

This is a cool idea, I have wanted to make a similar build (although RT instead of crit) so I'm looking forward to when the videos/etc come along!

Just a note though, I thought it was really funny that you planned to get Kraityn in normal, but then skip the Sentinel Node. Why not get the passive point instead, and then use it on Sentinel?
Face it, all of your suggestions are worse than this idea:

Why not use poison? as there are massive double dips naturally with totem.
It far out damage elemental aura/gems and free up mana for Grace/IR tankiness

Maths follows:
Poison 0.2
Totem damage + area damage from tree and jewels: 300%
Conc effect: 1.59
Skill duration: 1.55 (45% from tree 10% from poison gem)
Vulnerability COH from FB glove: 1.25 x 1.33

your poison does: 0.2*4*1.59*1.55*1.25*1.33= 3.277 times your tooltip physical dps.

One totem will do: 45000(my phy dps) * 1.25 + 45000 * 3.277 = 203000 DPS

3x totem + flask and vaal lightning trap = 1.5 Millions.

Can run grace and artic armor.

Scion's Hierophant gives free Power Charges,
Don't want to miss that, so I went Crit.

Thanks, that's the next thing I'm going to do after getting 20 regrets

Yeah, I am thinking Poison too, Snakebite or Voidheart or replacing Added Fire Support.

I went for MoM to extend my HP against oneshots. May squeeze in Arctic Armor later with better gear

I know, I thought that 20% chance when you place a totem doesn't seem like it would be reliable though, unless you totem-spammed in-between mobs. But I would be very happy to be proven wrong! :)

I did merc lab at lvl 67, and uber lab at lvl 68, with lvl 15 gems.

with my char AmandaProphecy as you can see in profile.

This is an extremely power build for sure.

The only downside is the delay between putting down totem and the spirit starting to attack.

my build with facebreaker now 132k dps per totem with golem buff and Atziri flask + lion roar flask, i think we dont need crit but with crit i think 2 hand is better (sorry my bad english).We dont need MOM because the skill just need 29 mana so u can use aura and spam totem but with no aura i suggest u going BM =))>Hier+Slayer is better.

Uber lab too, I just wanted to be safe.

I use poison and Uber izaro died in less than 5 secs.

Tooltip is only 45k without any aura/flask

Facebreaker curse on hit vulnerability.
