EQUIPMENT
-
BODY ARMOUR
- I recommend a Belly of the Beast, it provides up to 40% increased maximum life and 15% to all elemental resistances and it's easy to get the right colours.
- You can also use a rare body armour with life, elemental resistances and armour. Examples here.
-
SHIELD
- The best shield for this build is Tukohama's Fortress, it provides life, totem damage and 1 extra Totem, that makes this build just OP. It used to be an expensive item but now costs about 5 Chaos on the League.
-
HELMET
- A Abyssus is mandatory to achieve satisfatory amount of damage.
-
GLOVES
- Facebreaker is mandatory because it gives up to 800% more physical damage while unarmed. That's why your totems are so strong.
-
BOOTS
- Rare boots with movement speed, life, elemental resistances and armour. Examples here.
-
BELT
- A rare belt with life and elemental resistances. Examples here.
-
RING #1
- A rare Steel Ring with life and elemental resistances. Examples here.
-
RING #2
- A rare Steel Ring with life and elemental resistances. Examples here.
-
AMULET
- A rare Amulet with life, elemental resistances and physical damage added to attacks. Examples here.
-
FLASKS
- 2 Divine Life Flasks. Look for mods like ''instant recovery'', ''removes bleeding'' and ''removes freeze''. Examples here and here.
- 1 Stibnite Flask for evasion boost and blind source for your enemies. Examples here.
- Rumi's Concoction for more armour and block chance.
- Lion's Roar is an awesome choice, it grants more physical damage.

THIS BUILD'S FAQ
-
Is there a good place to buy unique items?
- Not only for unique items, poe.trade or pathofexile.com/trade are great websites for trading your items.
-
I'm lvl 40 and I'm dying a lot, what can I do?
- Please take a look at your Elemental Resistances, they are really important for your survivability. After lvl 40 try to keep at least 50% of each. The meximum is 75%, try to reach that when on end game.
-
I don't have as much HP as the gameplay shows and I've followed the Skill Tree step by step. Can you help me?
- Look for more HP at your rare gear. You can have ''+89 to maximum life'' on your helmet for instance.
-
You say the build is cheap, but there are some expensive recommended items there, How?
