Finally got enough currency to switch from dual wield rare sceptres to +1 totem shield + Shimmeron.....oh my what a buff that is. As others have said, the degen from shimmeron isn't that bad.
Stats:
lvl 91
4.3k hp
2.3k mana
5 totems
815k dps (480k shaper dps) per totem
Thanks for this build guide! Didn't think I'd love the totem playstyle this much.
Gear:
I'm probably missing something, but... Why righteous fire on shimmeron?
Pop Vaal Righteous Fire on boss fights for a 7 second buff of 39% more dmg.
Why totem support and multiple totem support when you get it from the soul mantle already??

Any ideas how to increase my dmg and survival? Thanks
Yes, why are you running a curse removal flask while using 2 Kikazaru rings? Dump that flask and throw a Self-Flagilation jewel into your tree for well over 200% increased dmg.
I don't feel comfortable with curse, but I will try to see if my survival decreases.

That's my Wither totem setup. It is used for utility. It slows bosses, plus 2 extra totems (so 5 arc totems + 2 wither totems) is more dmg and regen due to ascendancy. Also, the wither totem costs less mana than the arc totems, so I can use Wither totem to spam before boss fights and build up my curses for self-flagilation dmg bonus.

maybe can you have a look at my char? - I'm struggeling with the decision to swap to soul mantle and shimmeron. atm I'm sitting on my +1 totem shield, and I only need to cast twice the arc totem. If i swap to soul mantle, I need to cast it 3 times, to put out that 5 totems
Edit: think I gonna stay on the rare 6 link - switched over just to shimmeron and I even dont recognize the the degen
Keep in mind that Soul Mantle is not just 1 extra totem which is more dmg and regen due to ascendancy. It is also:
- going from 4 to 5 totems = 25% more dmg
- 50% extra totem life, which is nice QoL
- extra gem link, which is huge dmg
- Self curse with Self-Flagilation jewel = 280% increased dmg when prestacking curses for bosses and during fast mapping.
For mapping, having 2 totems at once is plenty to kill everything. Not much need for 5 totems besides the ascendancy buff. But for bosses where you actually have all 5 totems out, it's big dmg.
I am following your setup, but i got a huge problem. After i finished my 2nd labyrint im getting oom while fighting and cant do shit. On the other hand, out of combat i can spam my totems like hell but when im in combat im getting oom in like 10 sec... whats wrong? Can anyone look my toon up...
