Can someone explain how totems scale?

I just respeced my shaman into a totem build last night and I’m a little confused on how they scale. I heard from a YouTube video that the weapon is not very important because of weird scaling, idk what that means. On poeninja I don’t see anyone taking crit which is weird for some reason. Right now I got as may gem levels as possible and bought an insanely expensive mace but I still don’t do as much damage as my wyvern character (I know damage on wyvern is broken tho) any explanations will be much appreciated thank you.

Totems inherit your offensive stats, including your weapon

Theyre essentially a "mini you" that is still a separate entity

Shockwave totem works better with jagged ground from other slams. I used stampede supported by persistent ground and encroaching ground. Earthquake can get a large aoe if you support it with encroaching ground and jagged ground II.

This seems to have good information and aligns with what i was doing with my warbringer a few leagues ago. Now i wasn’t exactly doing pinnacle bosses but it was mapping okay.

Self-Galvanic Field Autobomber

[https://pobb.in/8hjYi0DX-QF5](https://pobb.in/8hjYi0DX-QF5) If the pathfinder node prevents the tripping from archmage-scolds self damage you could potentially build around recovery and get extra procs from the Valako's spell. The skill granted by lightning coil actually scales pretty well. Valako's and Galvanic both proc CoA and CoC skills as well, so if you went this route you could have a wider screen clear. Sometimes have to be careful when applying galvanic, if you have chains happening they will attach to the mobs and not you. Also may not be worth using headhunter, there's time where it makes your galvanic the size of the screen, and others where it makes you immune to shock so you cannot reapply to yourself. If you don't want to use palm of the dreamer, you can use electromagnetism as well in Choir Bolt which will have nearly the same clear its just not as instant. Alternate build could also be applying 5 fields to yourself as Elementalist, which would be higher dps but a more active playstyle. Let me know what you think, and if anyone has a way to make this kind of setup better or faster. Thanks! @u/Undead_Legion if you're still around take a peak?

Level 89 Druid, struggling to not die in T15 maps, please help

Loving this char, but I cannot consistently survive T15/Juiced T14 maps without getting one shotted. I'm following Woolie's Wolf Druid build, and from what I can tell, I have mostly all of the same gear/passives with specs, yet I am struggling hard and its killing my enjoyment of the game. Any tips or suggestions would be VERY much appreciated. I only have like 25 Divs to my name, so please keep that in mind. Thanks a lot to anyone who can help!

[POE2] 0% Presence Tech Bow Build – Budget & Fun League Starter

I’ve been testing a 0% Presence setup using Lioneye's Glare and it turned out surprisingly strong for the budget. The idea revolves around enabling the repeat mechanic consistently, which significantly boosts effective DPS. For 0% Presence Tech ,there are two ways to achieve this setup. The first method is to use a corrupted Greed's Embrace with “100% reduced Presence Area of Effect.” The second method is to combine the Presence Area node with Warlord Berserker and a Grip of Kulemak with increased bonuses gained from Mystic Attunement of Ritualist to push your total Presence Area of Effect reduction beyond 100%. I personally chose the second method, as it provides better defensive value overall. (I tested using the Presence Area node together with two Grip of Kulemak (both rolled at 30%) and scaled them with increased bonuses gained from Mystic Attunement. On paper, this setup reaches 100% reduced Presence Area.( 30\*1.25+30\*1.25+25 = 100) However, based on in-game testing, there still seems to be a small amount of Presence Area remaining, which prevents the interaction from working properly. Because of that, this version of the setup isn’t fully viable.) It’s very fun to play, affordable, and works great as a league starter.

Feral invocation

Does anyone use this skill I think it is extremely undervalued a lot of people say it sucks but I don’t believe they understand how to correctly maximize its use. Does anyone else play this I haven’t seen any in all the parties I have joined except mine.

Generating Power Charges - What’s your preferred way?

I’ve been on the Killing Palm hype train a while but stopped using it for actual fighting because Shattering and Staggering Palm already do everything I need. I generate plenty of endurance charges with breach lord combo so I really just need a way to make charges. My new flavor is returning to my Mantra roots. Turns out Mantra of Destruction can utilize the Hayoxi’s Fulmination trick as well, which works great for Chayula who doesn’t want those flames that are half the value of ITB remnants. If you use the fulmination trick, you also reset the ability super fast and bypass the Delayed Gratification issue. Pretty awesome gem, can’t wait for them to fuck it up.

Zerphis Infamy on Pounce - Druid

Zerphis Infamy on Pounce - Druid

Hi, I am playing a rage werewolf build. Currently, its very typical so what ever you imagine is easy to access at level 65, I am probably using it. I wanted to put Zerphis on my Pounce move. My logic was its on a 4 second cooldown, how hard can it be to generate 50 glory for it? It's incredibly difficult apparently for what Im trying to do. So I've come to you guys for some ideas, help and suggestions. I really want to make Zerphis work on pounce and get enough glory that its the cooldown holding the move back, not the glory restriction. (heres a list of general things you probably need to know if you wanna try to help) 1. I do not want to build blood magic, this collides with other ideas I have. 2. I dont underestand what it means by gain Glory = 5%. Does that mean specifcially a single "Glory" every 5% health, meaning I need to sacrifice 250% of my health? Or do I need a total of 5% of my health sacrificed? 3. Im running "Berserk", "Herald of Ash", and "Overwhelming Presence" currently, subject to change. Im not exactly min maxing right now, but I do appreciate the thoughts or feedback anyways. Thanks
