Trip's Soul Mantle Dual Arc Totem (Invasion) Guide

Fellow exiles,

I present to you my first written guide on my original
7L Arc totem build, made for invasion.

Any feedback is welcome as this thread will be under construction.

I will be streaming all of my progress @ www.twitch.tv/tripleyou
Feel free to jump in and check up on the current build development.

VIDEO of the build in action: Soon to come

Gems are prioritized in this order.
Arc - Lightning Penetration - Faster Casing - Crit Damage - Elemental Proliferation - Empower

Final Build (lvl ~90)


PROS: Through crits you provide triple shock stacks along with dual curse.
Having medium to high mana regen enables you to run a leveled Arctic Armour in regular maps. That along with having IR and running grace gives you freedom to wear pure es gear exclusively and still have decent amount of armour for a ranged/totem build.
That along with having the keystone "Mind Over Matter" provides a great safety net of mitigation vs. incoming, physical damage.

CONS: Wearing Soul Mantle curses you with random stacked vll 20 curses whenever a totem dies or expires, thus you need to roll at least two of your flasks with the Warding suffix and actively dispel the curses as you recieve them.
The lvl 14 spell totem support provided by the chest has a relatively low life pool.

Key items for this build: Soul Mantle http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Soul_Mantle
Optional, but powerful: Deodre's Damning http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Doedre%27s_Damningor prefferebly a corrupted neck with +1 curse in enemies.

Leveling this build you can do anything you want for normal difficulty. I am personally leveling with Arc 3L in a +1 wand (Arc - Fast - Penetration/ Prolif (swtching between the two doing farming vs. bosses).

To be continued...
