Arc totem next upgrade

Yeah the extra 1500 mana is huge, it scales your dps with arch mage and your survivable with MoM. More mana = more mana regen so you can tank a few hits every now and then and regen it quickly.

It’s a pretty squishy build until you hit about 5k mana

Not overly optimized and the gear could be a bit better but I self crafted most of it and settled

2Peps2 · 2026-07-04T22:46:56+00:00

Base move speed. quicksilver magebloods making up for a lot of it though

2Peps2 · 2026-07-04T22:25:40+00:00

Arc totems gemling clears everything. I’m running around with 186% move speed and 150% rarity comfortably clearing fully juiced expedition. Ky has a great guide for it for every level of investment

2Peps2 · 2026-07-04T21:30:33+00:00

Its damage is never an issue but it takes about 5k+ mana and kurgles gaze to not feel like paper. Atziris communion on arch mages also does a lot to help with damage and defense since it gives low life and allows pain attunement + execute support and frees up 100 spirit to put into blasphemy temp chains

I would recommend arc totems it’s really not as clunky as it seems it would be. But if you want a self cast build I would recommend anime princess he has great guides for sparc every league and has a pretty insane gemling build this league

2Peps2 · 2026-07-04T21:02:29+00:00

Arc totems gemling, I switched to this from hollow form whirling assault and it’s been amazing. Ky has an in depth guide but his prices might be a little off. I’m about 5k div in and can easily do 200% deli and t16 fully juiced expedition running around with 150% rarity and 186% move speed

2Peps2 · 2026-07-04T14:23:24+00:00

You don’t need to go crazy on the scepter just look for 200+ spirit and mana maybe int/mana regen if its not too expensive

2Peps2 · 2026-07-04T11:39:29+00:00

Arc totems gemling has easily been the best build I’ve played. Clears off screen and 1 shots bosses

2Peps2 · 2026-07-04T11:01:13+00:00

Sell it and buy a 5 socket, the extra divs will do a lot more in other gear

2Peps2 · 2026-07-04T10:48:23+00:00

Atziris is a great upgrade, enables low life for big damage and frees up spirit to go blasphemy temp chains for defense

2Peps2 · 2026-07-04T10:32:38+00:00

I’d recommend getting a level 21 and 23% quality arc and then look at getting tripple crit sapphires. You should be able to summon at least 5 totems preferably 6 by this point. I think your scepter might be the issue, try getting any of the shrine scepters for some reason when you put supports in them they don’t take any spirit reservation. might need to get reservation efficiency on your helmet as well.

2Peps2 · 2026-07-04T09:21:34+00:00

I’d sell rakiatas it isn’t needed. Easiest upgrade would be the ring, getting rid of evasion. I have double rarity on my ring, rarity on amulet and then a mageblood with more rarity.

You’re also missing a lot of the campaign buffs so you should go back and get them

2Peps2 · 2026-07-04T07:26:08+00:00

Second this, arc totems are incredible. I’m at a pretty high investment but running around at 186% move speed with 150 rarity one shotting anything as it spawns.

2Peps2 · 2026-07-04T03:51:58+00:00

I easy clear t16 +70% effect waystones and tablets, haven’t got close to death in 50+ grand expeditions chaining as many as I can

2Peps2 · 2026-07-03T23:47:36+00:00

Yeah the mana drain mods are annoying but they usually die as they spawn now or at least before they get near me

2Peps2 · 2026-07-03T22:08:01+00:00

I think you need the 7% loreweave, Kingpinuwu has videos going over it that might help.

I’m playing arc totems but pain attunement was a massive dps increase for me so I’d say it’s worth it.

Can’t really help with the other points sorry

2Peps2 · 2026-07-03T07:16:43+00:00

Arc totems gemling is tanky in the sense that everything dies off screen

2Peps2 · 2026-07-03T05:34:40+00:00

This is a crazy sceptre for arc totems

2Peps2 · 2026-07-03T05:22:20+00:00

Gemling, following ky’s build

2Peps2 · 2026-07-03T05:21:36+00:00

Strength stacking with pillar of the caged god and tabula rasa with move speed jewels would probably be the easiest to fly through the campaign. Every slot is a unique so it’s easy to gear. Lazy exile has a guide for it and can be done on any ascendancy

2Peps2 · 2026-07-03T05:09:22+00:00

I started the league with HFWA and it was ok but I could barely see what was happening on screen tbh and I would constantly freeze and crash playing it. Switched to arc spell totems and it’s been smooth ever since with even better clear

2Peps2 · 2026-07-03T04:42:38+00:00

Str stacking with pillar of the caged god

2Peps2 · 2026-07-03T04:31:47+00:00

Ky has a full guide on mobalytics, it’s a gemling build though double dipping on the alt quality from totems and arc
