Path of Building Code

Build Overview

This build is a perfect blend of efficient map farming and devastating boss damage...
We’ll wield Spell Totem Support together with Storm Burst to erase enemies from existence

Path of Building is still a work in progress to finalize details like the DPS calculations, but the core foundation is already clear and solid

Strengths and Weaknesses

  • 💪 Strengths
  • Safe playstyle: You stay at range while your totems do all the work.
  • Excellent bossing: Totems can keep dealing damage while you dodge mechanics.
  • Low-cost setup: Works with cheap gear and minimal investment.
  • Consistent damage: Arcane Blessing keeps Arcane Surge active at all times.
  • Smooth mana sustain: Thanks to Clarity and Divine Guidance.
  • ⚠️ Weaknesses
  • Low mobility early on: Until you get Flame Dash + Second Wind.
  • Totem placement delay: Damage ramps up after totems start channeling.
  • Vulnerable if caught: No instant recovery or strong defensive layers early.
  • Mana management required: Running multiple auras early can be tricky without gear upgrades.

Build Variants

The variants will be added as I progress through the endgame.
For now, this version covers everything related to the early mapping phase.

  • If you have enough mana, you can activate all three auras.
    Right now, I don’t have enough mana to run them all but if I had to choose.
  • I’d go with Wrath + Herald of Thunder for more damage, or Wrath + Clarity if you need better mana regeneration

How it Plays

🌀 How to Play — Storm Burst Totem Hierophant

This build focuses on placing multiple totems that channel Storm Burst and unleash waves of lightning explosions to clear the screen.
Your role is to stay mobile, position your totems smartly, and let them do all the damage while you stay safe.

Gameplay Loop:

  1. Move through maps with Flame Dash for fast repositioning.
  2. Drop your Storm Burst Totems near enemies — they’ll start channeling and detonating orbs automatically.
  3. Keep your auras active (Wrath, Herald of Thunder, Clarity) depending on your mana pool.
  4. Apply Conductivity on tough enemies for massive damage boosts.
  5. Always maintain your totems up; their damage stacks the more you have active.

Tips:

  • Stay on the move — your totems tank for you.
  • Remember that Arcane Blessing keeps Arcane Surge active permanently for extra spell damage and mana regen.
  • If you have Multiple Totems Support, always drop sets of totems instead of just one to maximize uptime.

👉 In short: move, place totems, and watch everything explode in lightning

How it Works

⚙️ How It Works — Storm Burst Totem Hierophant

This build converts the Storm Burst spell into a totem-based lightning machine gun using Spell Totem Support.
Instead of casting the skill yourself, your totems channel Storm Burst, generating orbs that explode after a short delay, dealing massive area lightning damage.

As a Hierophant, you gain:

  • Extra totems from Pursuit of Faith and Ritual of Awakening.
  • Automatic Arcane Surge through Arcane Blessing, granting consistent spell damage and mana recovery.
  • High sustain and defense thanks to Mind Over Matter and Divine Guidance, which convert part of incoming damage to mana.

Your auras — Wrath, Herald of Thunder, and Clarity — boost both damage and mana sustain, while Conductivity lowers enemy lightning resistance, letting your totems shred everything on screen.

👉 In short: your totems cast for you, dealing powerful chain lightning explosions while you stay mobile and safe. ⚡
