Thanks , iam a Totem Fan and hyped for the
Divine Ire Heirophant.
Why heirophant might the best for the Skill?

Remember most of what I said is based on assumptions I'm making from videos. The patch notes may come out and invalidate all of it ;)

The real question is why not Heirophant for the others :). Heirophant is just the default for all spell totem builds, but I've made quite a few of them in the past and I was looking for something different. All three ascendancy classes can be used for any totem build.

Heirophant is the one you want to use if you are going crit because of the free power charges. It also is the best all around totem class with the additional totem and good setup for MOM.

Chieftain is the more defensive option with high life, totem leach, physical to fire conversion, and totem taunt. It has lower damage because of fewer totems, but as you get to high end red maps and end game bosses your totems will be a lot tougher and have taunt. If the skill damage scaling goes through the roof and can make up for Chieftans lower damage output this may be the way to go.

Scion has the extra totem from Heirophant and the totem leach from Cheiftan, but her real selling point is that she's the Scion and you can do lots of interesting stuff with the passive tree.

2-Curse Bane (Despair-TChain) with Skellingtons and Zombies as backup.

Do NOT ever touch zombies! They are broken and GGG would never fix them!

Added link to patch notes to OP. I'm thinking of going a soulrend, bane build with Occultist ascendency. Looks OP.

With the patch notes out, i'm going to try a Chieftain EK for league starter.

Brands+spire trap are still going to kick the crap out of most other starters by a mile. It was the mechanics behind the skill, not just the damage that made them miles above anything attacks or melee had.

This is a spell centered selfcast league/

So have to go any attack starter.
MS jugg for example.
Bet 70% will start like this.

20% will go ranger MFers as usual.
And some baited 10% will go Sacred totems\Brands

xD
See the picture!

Well after patch notes I'm 99% sure I'm making a Winter Orb Trickster speed build as my starter. So much synergy for damage, evasion and ES with insane levels of AS/CS.

So many buffs to chaos, I'm sure at this point a CHAOS witch build will ultimately be the most powerful in league.

GL and HF all, my it rain Exalts for you all!

As someone new to the game (had few days of play last season), melee & crusader-type fan, probably going for a Templar smite or cyclone with some summons, hoping to push as far end-game as possible as a new

If your going to go smite templar i can give you a build i found on the forum for the Templar that's a "lazy Paladin", where he's geared and has his passive tree set for block chance. Only thing is it's from 3.5 Betrayal league.

Will go with a Templar with a focus on the new holy skills along with smite and summon holy relic.

Just can't decide between witch or shadow for my chaos caster.
