[2.4 HC | Video Guide] Bladefall Totems Hierophant|Dual Apep's Rage|MoM
 First of all i would like to mention that i want to avoid text of walls in this guide, so let's start. English isn't my native language. If you prefer to look a Video instead of reading, here you can find the Video guide --> [2.4 HC | Video Guide] BF-Totems Hierophant|Dual Apep's Rage|MoM feel free to ask questions and leave Feedback for improvements!!! Idea of the build: --> Starter friendly, cheap --> decent damage / clearspeed --> HC viable Keystones The Ascendancy Class of choice for this build is the Hierophant Here you need to pick up Pursuit of Faith -> Ritual of Awakening -> Divine Guidance -> Sanctuary of thought. (in this order)  The Guide also includes gameplay footage: [2.4 HC | Video Guide] BF-Totems Hierophant|Dual Apep's Rage|MoM more vids soon. Twitch Shaarq --> if u wanna see some live action.

Gear in general:
Spoiler
For your gear you primarily need to look for affixes such as Elemental Resistances, Life, Dexterity and Energy Shield on all your stuff and additionally Crit and Crit Multi on Amulet and at least 25percent movement speed on boots. To cover your Dexterity requirements of your skills try to get a bit of those attribute on the gear you craft or buy as well. Use Maligaros or Facebreaker gloves for some additional amount of Crit and Crit Multi! On the jewel sector we are flexible, but i highly recommend using a Spire of Stone and put it in socket of the Templar area. As for Unique items there is, as i mentioned in the beginning of the guide, one necessary item to make the build work. We’re talking about Apeps Rage. Dual wield it for maximum damage! I also strongly recommend saving currency up for Carcass Jack or a high ES Vaal regalia with life roll. For Flask setup in general it’s nothing special. 2 instant life flasks, 1 Quicksilver, 1 Basalt and finally a Mana potion. recommended uniques

 6 link Bladefall - Spell Totem - Increased Critical Strike - Added chaos damage - Concentrated Effect - Void Manipulation 2 Link Orb of Storms - Pcoc (Pc Generator) others Discipline, Clarity, Golem, Portal, etc... The remaining setups are however optional, use whatever you want!  I recommend leveling with a firestorm flame totem setup because of the fact, we are not grabbing Ancestral Bond Keystone. If you really wanna push with totems as soon as possible, grab Ancestral Bond and refund it later after doing Cruel Lab. Skill Tree progression is fairly simple, head to Life and damage notes like retribution, discipline and training, amplify and devotion at the beginning. Just hold a good balance between damage and life to get a smooth level experience. For leveling Ignore totem, crit and pure Energy shield nodes. The Ascendancy Class of choice for this build is the hierophant. Here you need to pick up Pursuit of Faith and Ritual awakening. After getting these two you can switch to Bladefall totems. In Merciless lab i picked up Divine Guidance for a slight version of MoM and some good amount of max mana which fits in really well with the increased mana costs of Apep’s rage. For red maps and max defense you finally wanna get sanctuary of thought from uber lab. After grabbing these you can also take Mind over Matter Keynote from passive tree. Pursuit of Faith -> Ritual of Awakening -> Divine Guidance -> Sanctuary of thought. (in this order) Congrats guys, now you are a fortress! tree lvl88 Note: We are waiting for Sancutary of Thought (Ascendancy) to skill into Mind over Matter!

" Nope,it's not mandatory but i assume you'll don't have enough damage for high tiers to feel comfortable with. |
