POE 3.5 Templar Hierophant Arc Totems Build (PC,XBOX,PS4)- Cheap, SSF-viable
"Drink deeply from God's chalice, for the faithful will never find it empty"
The Hierophant offers a mixture of non-conventional sources of damage, defenses, and overall utility aimed towards spell and totem users. They have access to additional totem limit, with totem enhancements and bonuses that scale with additional totems to accompany it.
This build is a cheap and SSF-viable Arc Totem build. With some small changes on the passive tree (mostly the lightning nodes) you will be able to play any totembuild you want with this tree and gear.

Gear
In this Build, for the leaguestarter, the choice of gear is not the first priority, you should focus on the stats .
Weapons
Look for a rare Kris or Wand with inc. Spell Damage, Lightning Damage to Spells, inc. Crit Chance for Spells and/or Global Crit Multi (For Endgame Shaper Dagger with Ele as extra Chaos and/or Pen) You can also try to craft one with inc. Minion Damage with Bound Fossils.
You can either dual whield 2 of them or go for a Spirit Shield with inc. Spell Damage, inc. Cast Speed, inc. Crit Chance for Spells and/or some maximum Life + Mana.
For 3.5 we are aiming for a +1 max Totem Shield obviously!
Helmet
Look for a rare helmet with maximum Life, some resistance and maybe some Mana/Int. Bone helmet will increase your damage by around 5%.
Body Armour
Look for a rare body armour with some life and resistances for the start and later change to a shaper chest with the shaped suffix "Spells have +#% to Critical Strike Chance" (the higher the better). The mod "#% of Damage is taken from Mana before Life" is also good for the build.
Gloves
Maligaro's Virtuosity or any rare gloves with maximum life/mana and resistances
Boots
Look for rare boots with maximum life/mana, resistances and min. 20% movementspeed
Belt
Look for a rare belt with maximum life and some resistances. You can aim for a Stygian Vise for a free Abyss Jewel but it's not really needed.
Amulet
Marylene's Fallacy for free Culling Strike and some DPS push or any rare amulet with maximum life, crit multi, crit chance, resistances.
Rings
Essence Worm is highly recommended for a "free" wrath aura which gives us almost 20% increased damage!!!
The other ring you should aim for a diamond or opal ring with maximum life/mana , resistances and some dex.
Flasks
Hallowed Hybrid Flask with Antibleed
The Wise Oak but make sure that lightning resistance is your highest resistance otherwise the flask will not work! Also try to balance your resistances to get the best out of the Flask.
A Silver and a Diamond Flask with Anti Curse and Anti Freeze and a Quicksilver Flask with inc. Effect
Jewels
1x Clear Mind not needed but will give us mana reg and round about 8% dmg increase.
The other slots we want to fill with Abyss Jewels with the following mods:
- Maximum life
- Maximum Mana
- Crit Chance
- Crit Multi
- Flat Lightning Damage to Spells
Leveling
For leveling we would recommend using Freezing Puls from lvl 2-12, Arc selfcast from lvl 12 till you got the "Ancestral Bond" node on the passiv tree. Than you can fully switch to Arc Totems

POE 3.5 Ranger Deadeye Lightning Scourge Arrow Build (PC,XBOX,PS4)- Boss Killer, High DPS, Endgame
The build is lightning based because Lightning Damage gear mods are the highest of the 3 Elements, and also very easy to scale along with Elemental Damage. Lightning Damage can also shock enemies, therefore allowing us to deal even more damage to them.
Dec
POE 3.5 Witch Occultist Starter Vortex Cold Snap Build (PC,XBOX,PS4)- Cheap, Strong
POE 3.5 introduced a new way to scale the cold spell - cold damge overtime multiplier, coupled with the new Occultist nodes, it basically doubles the damage of cold damage over time skills. This build is life based because it is a league starter, and so that we can buy cap resistance and at the the time find more damage on gear more easily.
