Build Overview

This is the start of my guide for Arc Spell Totem Gemling Legionnaire. The idea is to double-dip on the quality bonuses provided from Gemling Legionnaire to skill gems since both Arc and Spell Totem have INSANE bonuses granting 6% more damage per remaining chain ( about 30 chains currently or 180% more damage) and 120% cast speed with 6 totems up.

For all stages of the guide try to have your Spell Totem around level 23, this is the minimum level for +3 totem limit while costing the least amount of mana. You can give a couple additional levels for additional totem tankiness but keep this in mind.

READ Ancestral Bond. This makes it so our totems cost spirit instead of power/endurance charges.

Setups are available for all budget levels, this build does NOT require a high budget in any way to completely crush all content in the game.

Make sure to lock your weapon and sceptre to both weapon sets and have your sets set correctly in both your passive tree and gems!!!

This is just the step 2 for your passive tree pre- Split Personality.

From here you should look to start progressing the build as normal in terms of GEAR. But keep using a tree like this untill you can get a Split Personality. I looked at going into crit nodes but the loss of passives from no Split Personality makes it kinda too tightish to make it very efficent. And unless you have a ton of % inc damage then it will not be the play untill you have a Split Personality.

So just progress through the steps of the build as normal with no Split Personality from here.

Comet Spark and Ball Lightning are only for Virtuous Barrier motes.

How it Plays

FAQ

Its VERY important for single target that you have your weapon set passives set correctly in both your passive tree and gem assignments. Also MAKE SURE your last cast is either a totem or mana tempest so that you are resting in set 1 ( archmage ).

When do I swap?

Swap when you have a gear set prepared to put you around 3.5k mana and you are AT MINIMUM level 70. BOTH OF THESE TOGETHER ARE REQUIRED not 1 or the other. Mana regen on rings and spirit on both your chest and amulet are very important aswell.

Upgrade order?

Buy Low Basic Stater Set of Gears -> !gring, !wand -> Buy/Semi-Craft a Cheap Medium Budget Amulet / Scepter / Helm / Chest / Boots / Gloves !gamulet -> !gbody -> !ghelm -> !ggloves -> !fork -> Mageblood -> !ggbody -> !gsceptre

How kungal gaze gives tankiness if we dont have any life regen?am i missing something ?

WeirdMan•8h ago

Very very difficult build to make for cheap especially trying to get all res up. I made the "Leaguestart Absolute Minimum Entry (lvl 70 ish) " build and it works pretty well. I spent around 20 div for res 75/75/75/50, 3.5k mana. Definitely not ideal but was a good entry into the totem swap

turmalin•10h ago

Which reward do we take from Tribal Medicine?

DeadlyGun•21h ago

the sp jewel for the "super low budget" is now over 20 div lmao

halffrozen•1d ago

None of the different build variants shows the 2nd hand set weapons.... can you elaborate?

DeadlyGun•21h ago

this guide also doesnt show 2nd hand set weapons....because you dont use them...hope this helps!

Just toggle the weapon set lock, so it uses your wand and sceptre for both.

StoneGolem•1d ago

Hey Ky's, right now, im on level 88, total 368 spirit, using Mana Remnants and Archmage, all my gems has 20% quality, my spell totem are level 23, and i cant use more than 3 totens, how can i solve this? i have 3k mana, a good wand, but not strike a good damage :(

Sigzel•15h ago

Totems reserve spirit, with the "Ancestral Bond" notable, this is 75 spirit each.
Follow the passive tree to get " Efficient Inscriptions" to reduce the cost per totem.(mine is currently 63 each)
I currently have 408 spirit(Spirit from Body Armor, Amulet and sceptre), I can summon 4 totems.
If I disable Archmage, then I get 5.
Also check your support gems in your sceptre skill.

You can get a decent spirit boost later as well with Darkness enthroned belt, but they are somewhat pricey still.

RavesWithTrees•1d ago

POB code only loads the super endgame tree. Is there a way you could have all the trees in the one POB code?

Other than that I'm in maps and enjoying the play style of the build and working my way through upgrades.

WorthyStorm•1d ago

I dont really know why people hate on this build, I've spent only 6-7 div on this build and im blasting t15s like butter.

Great build! Thanks for the guide.

DeadlyShield•1d ago

Yeah try farm some harder content for divs with the 6-7divs you have spent and tell me how it went. The problem is not the t15s farm ,these are easy to do. The problem is when you want to farm currency to get some better gear ,this is when it becomes tedious and almost impossible. For example try killing arbiter of div for the 2nd time to unlock all atlas. Let me know how it went :) cause for me (4totems 3.9k mana) its impossible literally IMPOSSIBLE.
