This Build Tier Rating is:

Summary

  • This build is played as a Shaman! You will need to be a shaman on this one for the mastery bonus of negative mana cost. This build heavily revolves around having tons of move speed and summon tons of totems to do all of the killing for you. To keep your life full you leech a good portion of damage from avalanche as it trails behind you cleaning up anything left.

Main Interactions

  • Sacrificing thorn totems so upheaval totems do MORE damage. Setting up the skills so that mana does not become an issue and you can always keep summoning.

How to Play this build

  • To play this build I like to place avalanche on autocast, but you can manually cast it as well about 1x every 10 seconds. Run around with avalanche chasing you while you summon storm totems for great AOE and use the combo summon thorn totem then sacrifice them by summon upheaval totem and watch the damage pour out!

How to Level (NEW)

No leveling guide for the new skill yet, but if your just looking to get a shaman going based on the avalanche and storm totem i will link it below. I leveled this build as is yesterday on stream and it was rocky between level 15-25 but then it took off as soon as we had upheaval totems and the flat cold damage for them

Gear -> Unique's

This build could also use, but not limited to :eyes:

Hi bro. Cant withstand the mana cost with avalanche on autocast :(:(:(:(:(:frowning:

Take the mana efficiently nodes in the avalanche tree. Put some Nana regen on belt/rings/relic/amulet

4

I don’t have a Nana, can I still run this build?

1 question:
i ask myself why many damage types which should push the builds dps are not shown in the lootfilter.
For example:physical/elemental damage not highlighted on rings.

Is there a specifix reason?

11

If the totems are doing most of the killing, they only benefit from minion damage modifiers, not player damage modifiers.

12

thanks for the quick answer.
but still for example: only damage modifier on ring that is highlighted is cold damage.
If i equip elemental damage, doesnt it also raise my cold damage?

edit: cold damage is only stacked for avalanche in this build then?

13

Yes, but as elemental is a less specific modifier, the values the affixes have are lower.

14

Nope, check storm tottem anotation - on right upper path we take cold damage.
So Storm Elder, Heorot’s Path and Eternal Stom benefit both avalance and Storm Tottem

15

And yet the Storm Totem is a minion & thus (as I said here) don’t benefit from the player’s % increased cold damage. If it were % minion cold damage, then yes, the totems would benefit from it.

16

sorry mate, i’ve wanted to highlight that i wanted to answer for this specific part
btw even in boarman video avalance shows 13k dps, it’s not kinda uber high damage also on 12:44 (on gear section) he says that most item has a wrong affixes and we need - health/crit avoidance/endurance/minnion damage.
So maybe we don’t realy need that creomancer affix on ring in loot filter, or maybe i’m wrong and miss something
