2.4 Low-Life Hierophant SWT - It's easier than you think - HC/Atziri viable and beginner friendly

If you are low life the damage on your totems at level 20+ should be fine and your auras should make them very tanky. What are your links?

I'm LL, it's 19lvl atm, since i'm struggling with some bosses even on T6 I highly doubt lvl 20 will make things better since T10+ also scales mobs. I just don't see bright future.

My 5L setup for the time being is SWT - ICS - IAOE - FC - Added Fire, because it's hard to roll 4 off colour either for poison or cirtical multiplier using solaris lorica chest.

I'm also running all auras as you suggested and I've seen plenty of times totems dying with a blink of an eye.

I'm just scared how it will perform on higher tiers if I'm not pleased with that atm :P

Additionally, as I said knockback + CE makes some boss fights so frustrating, meh. You drop totem, one two hit and it's out of range of totem so you have to spam it again. Would be acceptable it would have hit like a truck doing some serious dmg. Do you have any other idea for ST gem switch? Maybe I'm exaggerating a little bit, but I've played so many different builds before that I just can't accept this discomfort If I know I'm missing so much compared to them.

I also think ES regen is low, we got only 2.2% from tree that does not change a thing except it works for some burning, ignite dmg but it does not help to regen ES when you take a hit. We have to rely entirely on ES recharge instead, that is cumbersome, especially against bosses. Don't get me wrong, I'm not critizing at all, I'm just trying to find a way out or somebody proving me I'm doing something wrong before doing respec to some other build.

When it comes to P2L dmg I guess it's not about tooltip dps but the fact it should shock mobs on crit giving us nice dmg boost. The downside is that we're not Inquisitors so we can't bypass resistance.

BTW anybody knows if boots lab enchant that gives chance to shock, freeze, etc when you were not hit recently works with totems as well?

New to totem builds here. Leveling has been a breeze so far with flame totems. Wondering how does the damage of SWTs fare in high maps? Considering between a hierophant and inquisitor atm.

Shavronne's Wrappings. It isn't cheap. You'd probably run Solaris Lorica for a while, if not whole league.

Currently Level 73 on this build and enjoying it immensely! I might have a super stupid question, but what are the benefits of going low-life on this build other than the +30% spell damage boost from Pain Attunement?

More effective HP and maximum resistances. There are my current stats.
