🟣 [3.15] Forbidden Rite Totem Hierophant 🟣 Great Bosser 🟣 League Start Friendly 🟣 Video Live🟣



Shameful Plug


Intro
Spoiler

Hey everyone!

This build is one of the strongest builds I've played, in terms of raw DPS. On a budget you can easily kill all endgame bosses, which makes this one of the best league starters in my opinion. I made a leveling series on my YouTube channel. If you are getting started with the league go over to https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLitEIwEBCB3yFcXf-6r2nYmBZcDpTs18m and check the series out.

A few things I want to point out:
1. We are not using Multiple Totems on Forbidden Rite. We want to only use it on Wither. This will cause permanent uptime on wither stacks. Self-casting wither is not ideal even though PoB will say it is more dps.
2. Adding any more projectiles than 5 will not improve you're dps. PoB will say it does, but in reality any projectiles after the 5th will shoot out too wide to guarantee a hit on the enemy. Fyregrass did a lot of testing, go checkout his YouTube for more info on it.

I hope you enjoy the build :)

Hope you enjoy!

Spoiler

Major: Soul of Brine King
- Stuns are annoying

Minor: Soul of Yugul
- Additional capture will give us 20% reduced effect of curses. If you are using Kikazaru and not Viridi's Veil, you will need to use this. Otherwise use any other one.

P.S. This is players choice and not mandatory. If you like something else, then go for it!


Pros/Cons
Spoiler

+ Semi-Tanky
+ Safe Playstyle
+ Easy to Gear
+ HC Friendly
+ Insane Bossing

- Not a top tier mapper but still good
- Totems can be stupid when targeting
- Expensive since build is so popular

thanks for the guide
nice, i didnt know about asylum+yugul to free up a ring slot

yeah, makes it a lot better to free up that ring for essence worm or a rare ring :)
I just switched from FP/IS and it costs me about 250c. Thanks to this the build is more tanky and damage is higher.

What do you think about
1) replacing Shield Charge to Phase/Witchering Step with inc duration? The last slot could be Vaal Haste to boost our totems, or something else? Shield Charge could be quite annoying to use for some o us

2) replacing Tempest Shield for Void Sphere, I did that and I like it

3) Arcanist Brand Support for Assassin's Mark
Thanks = D !!! Good Guide
hi can you answer me what i need to do to dmg in forbidden rite,

Why are you using Viridi's veil if you're not using a magic ring in right slot?

There is some wrongs in your build.

If you use Viridi's veil, you must use a magic ring in your right slot not a rare one or your viridi's veil is useless.

Also in your passive tree you took, Pain Attunement, but you are not low life at all.
Your watcher's eye is close to useless as you don't have any of those auras on you.

All good replacement, I tried and thought about all of them but enjoyed my setup more. Some people will prefer your setup for sure.

Assassin's mark on brand didn't feel worth it as we are not casting multiple things with it, and don't have the slots to spare.

Anyways good recommendations :P
