Mapping Showcase
More Coming Soon.

Negative

Prior to acquiring (or never if you prefer) we convert all physical to cold using a Hrimsorrow, Gloves, Rare gloves in conjunction with Divergent Shockwave Totem or Dailla's Malefaction with D. Shockwave Totem.

Buy an Astral Projecter, Heatshiver, Hrimsorrow and you still a couple of divine to fill out an entry level mapper/sanctum runner.

No, but it is a huge quality of life upgrade. In a league start scenario we can run without it and clear the atlas, but it is your first major upgrade.

Cast totems and watch mobs die. For bosses, add in arcanist brand too.

Heatshiver, with our proper critical strike setup, gives up to 130% cold damage as Extra fire damage. Since we are ignoring resists via Inevitable Judgement, this ends up being 130% more damage. For a very inexpensive unique.

The Build is focused on Sanctum, fast mapping and bossing. As a result, it has just enough EHP to not get 1 shot but random AoE or trash. It's biggest defense is Full screen AoE freeze and unethical damage. If this doesn't suit you however, I've included a mapping variant in the PoB section which won't die with bad positioning.

If starting mid league I'd look to put together 10 div or so to get this character rolling at a comfortable pace. For this price you can have enough phys hit to survive i83 sanctum swipy-boys and 20M+ DPS to do anything, non-uber, in the game. The POB for this is under the "mapping variant" in POBs

[Act 1]
At league start, I roll a few characters trying to find BBG wand and a BBB wand. Throughout the story I use the added cold damage recipe to make them better. That recipe is: Magic weapon + Sapphire ring + Orb of Alteration. The rarity of the ring determines the tier of added damage. Often times I stick with a magic ring, giving me tier 7 (level 14 requirement) and just run it.

1. Stormblast mine->Added Lightning Damage->Swift Assembly
2. Orb of Storms->Added Lightning Damage
3. Flame Dash->Arcane Surge

[Act 2]
The temptation to switch to totems of some sort will be ever present. Right now, you only have access to two totems, and two totems is trash. Hold steady. We can add in some skitty boys and a herald for more damage.

1. Stormblast mine->Added Lightning Damage->Swift Assembly
2. Orb of Storms->Added Lightning Damage->Elemental Focus
3. Summon Skitterbots. Herald of Ice.
4. Flame Dash->Arcane Surge

[Act 3 and Normal Lab]
Prior to Dominus you will notice your damage becoming a little light. This is time for normal lab where you will be met with a choice. If you want to continue to zoom at max efficiency, you will take Conviction of Power and run with Armageddon Brand and Cremation like every other racer. However, this is a totem build, and we came to party from offscreen so we will take Pursuit of Faith. At the same time, we take the point in Ancestral Bond, switch to Shockwave Totem and begin converting it's damage.

1. Shockwave Totem->Physical To Lightning->Added Fire Damage
2. Hatred
3. Flame Dash->Arcane Surge
4. Elemental Weakness

[Act 4]
With access to 4 Links, we will begin to use life to summon totems. This allows us to reserve almost all of our mana and increase the damage of the totems. We are also blessed with access to a wealth of supports to help us keep it moving.

1. Shockwave Totem->Physical to Lightning->Added Fire Damage->Lifetap Support
2. Hatred
3. Summon Skitterbots->Bonechill
4. Vitality->Arrogance
5. Decoy Totem-Multiple Totem
6. Flame Dash->Arcane Surge
7. Elemental Weakness

[Act 5]
Supports are unchanged. Run gun, and don't forget your skill quests.

[Act 6]
Zoom Zoom

[Cruel Lab + Act 7]
Grab Ritual of Awakening after completing second lab. This will give us 25% more damage (Assuming you are summoning your decoys), 5% life Regen and 2.5% mana regen. Straight forward Damage, Survivability and QoL.

By this point I've taken the Sovereignty wheel and will switch skitterbots for Determination. Slight damage downgrade, huge survivability upgrade.

1. Shockwave Totem->Physical to Lightning->Added Fire Damage->Lifetap Support
2. Hatred
3. Determination
4. Vitality->Arrogance
5. Decoy Totem-Multiple Totem
6. Flame Dash->Arcane Surge
7. Elemental Weakness

[Act 8]
We will take the notable Influence allowing us the reservation space to add Herald of Purity.

1. Shockwave Totem->Physical to Lightning->Added Fire Damage->Lifetap Support
2. Hatred
3. Determination
4. Vitality->Arrogance
5. Decoy Totem-Multiple Totem
6. Flame Dash->Arcane Surge
7. Elemental Weakness
8. Herald of Purity

[Act 9 & Act 10]
We are unchanged in these acts in terms of skill gems. We start rounding out our tree with jewel slots. In the end game, we know we will use Cluster Jewels so take these last.

[Mapping as Hierophant]
At maps we pick up Hrimsorrow and Heatshiver as fast as possible. After these we will pick up a Tabula or beneficial six link. With that equipped we can change up our links considerably and spec out of Elemental Overload as well.

1. Shockwave Totem->Lifetap Support->Increased Critical Strikes->Increased Critical Damage->Added Fire Damage->Concentrated Effect
2. Hatred
3. Determination
4. Vitality->Arrogance
5. Decoy Totem-Multiple Totem
6. Flame Dash->Arcane Surge
7. Elemental Weakness
8. Herald of Purity

[Mapping as Inquisitor]
After the six link, shaper shield is next on the menu. Once we have the additional totem it provides, our build will make several changes.

1. Shockwave Totem->Hypothermia->Increased Critical Strikes->Increased Critical Damage->Added Fire Damage->Concentrated Effect
2. Hatred | Discipline | Herald of Ash | Herald of Purity
3. Divine Blessing->Haste
4. Vitality->Arrogance
5. Decoy Totem-Multiple Totem
6. Flame Dash
7. Arcanist Brand->Purifying Flame->Assassin's Mark->Punishment

Though we will end up as an Inquisitor, a lot of it's damage potential is locked behind critical strike and a shaper shield for a third totem (that we have naturally with Hierophant). We will get some levels and early mapping done before making the Quisitor swap.
[Hierophant Nodes before the swap]
1. Pursuit of Faith. The build will not feel comfortable with less than 3 totems. In addition, the placement speed gained is a huge QOL boost.
2. Ritual of Awakening. More damage and regeneration. Straight forward.
3. Conviction of Power. Power charges will help with crit once we drop Elemental Overload.

[Inquisitor Nodes after the swap]
1. Sanctuary. Alone, this does not do much. In conjunction with Purifying Flame on Arcanist brand, this will give us more damage on single targets.
2. Pious Path. Curse effect reduction, 5% life regeneration and adds life regernation to ES regen as well. This ES regen, in conjunction with the Discipline Aura, allows us to allocate Eldritch Battery and Mind of matter. This combo addresses mana costs, increases survivability and allows us to attach the Hatred Aura to Divine Blessing as well.
3. Righteous Providence. Base Stats and increased crit.
4. Inevitable Judgement. Massive Damage. Period.

1. Life Flask to help our regen if we get low. Bleed removal mod is an excellent idea here. [If going full damage, swap this for Atziri's Promise].
2. Overflowing Chalice. 40% increased damage and helps immensely with up time on other flasks.
[Note 1] Enchant this with Increased effect as it already fails to gain charges during effect.
[Note 2] Bottled Faith can be used here for some extra damage.
3. Taste of Hate. Works as a mini Hatred Aura while also helping us with physical hits by converting them to cold damage.
4. Silver Flask. Pick up with Cast Speed Suffix.
5. Quicksilver Flask. Pick up with Critical Strike Chance.

We will use 2 identical 8 passive cluster jewels that have Battle Hardened for increased Armour and increased Damage; Force Multiplier for both increased and more damage; and Iron Breaker for increased Damage.

Divergent Shockwave Totem>Empower>Hypothermia>Increased Critical Damage>Concentrated Effect>Increased Critical Strikes
Note: Before Empower use Cruelty Support.

Arcanist Brand>Assassin's Mark>Punishment>(Divergent)Purifying Flame
Note: Purifying Flame is still useful before divergent as it spreads Consecrated Ground

Haste | Discipline | Zealotry. These should be socketed in your shield with reduced reservation when acquired.

Arrogance Support>(20)Vitality>(1)Clarity
We are taking Vitality to provide Life and ES regen (through use of Pious Path. Clarity is used at lvl 1 to boost damage through the Reservation Mastery

Divine Blessing>Hatred
Divine Blessing gives more than 30% Aura Effect making Hatred the best option for this slot.

Righteous Fire. Flame Dash. Herald of Purity. Herald of Ash. Steel Skin. Precision(1)

I Initially suggested Ritual of Awakening here, but after discussing with Tatiantel2 I think Pursuit of Faith is far better. This node gives an additional totem (25% more damage) and a huge buff to Totem Placement Speed, a massive QoL upgrade.

In the end game we will want one Power, Frenzy elemental damage. Along the way, combinations of Grand spectrums can solve a host of problems such as ailment immunity and critical strike chance.

When combined with shock avoidance on boots, ailment avoidance on boots and the Astral Projector, this new addition will make us ailment immune opening up other slots.

The goal mods here are Cast speed with Zealotry, Arcane Surge with Zealotry and Increased cold damage with Hatred

Used in the place of The Overflowing Chalice, this will bump our burst damage up significantly at the cost of flask charge generation while mapping.

1. Replica Dragonfang's Flight is an excellent mid point (or final upgrade) in this slot on the way to Ashes of the Stars.
2. Ashes of the Stars. Best Amulet in the game for 90% of builds.
