Build Overview

*Added Grim Pillars variant, mostly just tree/gem changes*

This is a SSF-viable (because I will be playing SSF) league start build for Spell Totem, starting on the Shaman ascendancy, with a possible swap to Oracle later on.

The initial build will use Spark as the main skill for the totems, but I will be trying out any new Kalguuran spells I can find to see if they are valid options as well.

I will be trying to swap to totems around the end of act 2, the combination of a 2 charm belt + the act 2 side quest allows for 3 charm slots at this point, which is 120 spirit with the Shaman's Sacred Flow node. IT MAY BE BETTER AND FASTER to do the campaign with Essence Drain / Contagion and plant spells until you can get 4 totems around level 55-60, but I want to swap early to test things out.

**IF YOUR WAND HAS +LIGHTNING INSTEAD OF +ALL SPELLS** Make sure you still have enough generic spell levels for a level 23 Spell Totem, and also get a second wand with +all or +fire spells for Flame Wall on your weapon swap (can still keep same sceptre for both swaps).

Darkness Enthroned sockets = Idol of Eeshta & Jiquani's Thesis (need 100%+ roll on belt to double thesis effect)

Morior Invictus is another option for chest, specifically with the mana/spirit/all resist combo. Corrupted with 5 sockets, it will provide more mana, spirit, and resists than a rare can give (but you lose a bit of mana regen).

Amulet slot with +3 all spells can be boosted to +4 all spells with 40% quality from the new breach essence mod. Once the item is finished crafting & quality is applied, you can replace the quality mod (probably just omen of whittling and hope to hit something useful).

Hedgewitch Assandra's Rune of Wisdom is another option for weapon augment, more DPS but less defense than socketing mana. Legacy of Lifesprig is even more damage, but you lose the ability to use Legacy of Wanderlust in your boots.

For Prism of Belief you want +level to Spark, not Spell Totem.

both sets: Mana Remnants, Malice(happens by default since it is from sceptre)

Entangle works well with Mana Remnants to generate more remnants on bosses, as only the on kill remnants work with totems
