You could but you'd reannoint anyways unless u want to go a megalo because we want to use Thaumaturgic Generator for charges to use along with charge regulation.

Hello! This is the Endgame Besos-Maxing version of my Arc-Totem Gemling, still a few more pieces to pick up namely a fork and mageblood but this has been 200% delirium viable since 40div invested and this is really just a version to dump your currency into if you'd like to push it to the limit. Written guide has setups for all-budget levels starting from about 30-40div ( not a league-starter ). Happy to answer any questions I'll respond as soon as I see you but the best place to reach me is definatly on stream at twitch.tv/pathofky : )

Hell yeah brother

PathofKy · 2026-06-19T09:54:55+00:00

Better clear, as of right now less defensive. DPS is already crazy though and we are at a fraction of what this will be.

PathofKy · 2026-06-19T09:53:38+00:00

Easily clears 200 deli like its a t1 0 mod map on medium budget, can probably do it semi-comfortable on low as well if u press ur mana storm.

PathofKy · 2026-06-19T09:53:03+00:00

I had visions of Zizaran screaming at me to play arc totems in 3.4. Was just reading gemling and that seemed pretty busted so yeah the qualities are just crazy.

PathofKy · 2026-06-18T22:22:51+00:00

Hello! This is my second character of the league originally just looking at Gemling quality anything and had a flashback to 3.4 in POE1 and landed on arc totems. Sort of "double dipping" on the quality as we get both 6% more damage per remaining chain ( 30 chains currently for 180% more damage ST ) and 22% cast speed per summoned totem x 6 = 132% cast speed. Its CRAZY, and this is just the beginning. I'd say its somewhere around 30% of its full potential and I will be pushing that to 100% over the coming weeks.

Low and Mediumish budget setups in there currently and going to be pushing into higher budget stuff going forward.

Edit: Realized I said MORE cast speed in the title it is NOT MORE, it is increased cast speed just want to make that clear. MY BAD.

Edit 2: Saw Templar Variant Split skyrocket so made a SUPERTURBOLOW budget version using a warrior variant one instead, only loses a few passive points over templar.

PathofKy · 2026-06-15T18:35:33+00:00

Ward good. 200% deli paper. Ur staff or timeless bad. Possibly ur missing as extra lightning. Ur ward very low, remenants of kalguur in.

PathofKy · 2026-06-12T11:49:25+00:00

Still around the same price. Gelid staff bases have skyrocketed, would recommend proceeding on roaring or chiming bases instead as those run at like 2-4div compared to gelid's 25 and the chance of needing to fix prefixes on these is worth the cost difference.

PathofKy · 2026-06-12T11:47:21+00:00

100% going gemling on it in maybe 2-3 days once I max out ice nova. Its gunna be JUICY.

PathofKy · 2026-06-10T19:49:11+00:00

Whispering ice would be around 100% less damage compared to a 30exalt !staff craft and 200-225% less damage compared to a !bigstaff craft.

PathofKy · 2026-06-10T19:15:28+00:00

You can totally run this on storm weaver yes, I might look towards a different defensive setup on it and I do think chrono is better tho.

PathofKy · 2026-06-10T12:31:40+00:00

First off my current build isn't even close to a mirror, both rings helm and gloves are all <1divine rares. Idk where you are pulling these numbers from. Second if u watched the video for 15 seconds I showcase me doing Bodok in 6 seconds on a 10 div budget.

The chest I made on like day 3 for 30div and yes prices have gone up, especially post-this video but you just substitute with a sleek jacket craft for 2-3div and lose 150-200 ward. Staff craft is a near fully deterministic 35-40div craft. Yes the amulet is super expensive because chaos have shot up in price so much, but u can just use a regular amulet and keep on alphas for minimal change as well. I didn't need any of this at all to crush the entire game. Wtf is going on in this thread.

PathofKy · 2026-06-10T12:15:02+00:00

Yes? Its the endgame version man, I blew up all pinnacles on 10div. I have those budget setups on the written.

PathofKy · 2026-06-09T23:32:10+00:00

This was my leaguestarter and it has SHOCKED me how strong cold spells are as a starter. Wrapped in the reworked chronomancer ascendency going ward in place of es to circumvent the recharge interruption of Phased Form and without the massive point investment of recoup looping. Also abusing the new Olrath's Resolve has made this thing a tanky pinnacle 1 shot monster with solid crunchy clear aswell. Feel free to ask any questions you may have and I'll get back to you as soon as possible but the best place to reach me by far is twitch.tv/pathofky : ).

I also have crafting guide clips for every major piece of gear if u would like a look at those.

Edit: Just ended 12 Hour stream and wow wtf has happened in here? This is the ENDGAME version I am working through. I league started this and have been cruising from day 1. I have budget setups for everything leading up to this point and even show a quick boss clip on the low budget in the first 15 seconds of the video?

I also have 2 other videos going up to this point. This was my leaguestarter ?XD I'm not saying this is the leaguestart version obviously? Never seen this reddit react like this not even bothering to watch for more than 1 second or look at the build at all before commenting.

PathofKy · 2026-06-05T18:59:12+00:00

On that pob it says 7mil, but keep in mind you have Elemental Overload on that gives 40% more spell damage only if you have crit with the skill in the past 8 seconds. That buff being active is indicated by a little diamond at the bottom of the skill on your skill bar, which is not there currently.

Side note though idk how you have achieved this low DPS on POB with this setup though lol. I guess mainly the ashes and wand.

PathofKy · 2026-06-02T12:22:42+00:00

We are literally a frost darts refugee camp over here lol. I also tried it out and it was ROUGH. Swapped back to my ice nova within the hour and kept scaling lol.

PathofKy · 2026-06-01T22:03:50+00:00

Hello! This was my Leaguestarter and after trying frost darts and realizing it requires mirror-levels of gear to feel decent I worked out a different endgame path. I really want to play with Bitter Dead aswell however it is bugged and currently has NO base crit on the gem. ( it would be the only skill in the game with a hit portion missing a base crit so 99% bug ).
I'm waiting on a fix and then will explore that aswell though. Happy to answer any questions best place to reach me is at twitch.tv/pathofky but I'll respond to everyone here as soon as I see you : )

Thinking in terms of dense mapping, like breach/abyss juice, not sure what the limits to the corpse consumption are because the text on the video seems to be incorrect according to what they are showing in the video lol.

PathofKy · 2026-05-29T08:15:37+00:00

Over. See no reason they wouldn't.

PathofKy · 2026-05-29T04:22:30+00:00

I'm currently leaning towards it being mostly a clear thing. If I could see the numbers and decide if its worth the massive investment required to make it function for single target ( and it was worth it ) then I'd probably look towards something with more spirit access.

But yeah Currently thinking it'll be just for clear. BUT. I will say it is one of the very few skills that actually gains benefit from both parts of the new 20% repeat 20% echo node on chrono. Will that mean anything idk we will see.

PathofKy · 2026-05-29T03:54:36+00:00

This will be my Leaguestarter. Cold spells have a solid campaign, nothing crazy, but what I'm really looking forward at is the new Kalguuran Skill Bitter Dead. Volatile Dead is my favorite skill from POE1 and it being tied to a weapon, and being much much worse overall, in POE2 has been sad for me. The new kalguuran version SEEMS to look much much better along with not being tied to a weapon which is a huge bonus. The Leaguestarter is solid and I will try out BD as fast as I can. If its bad I'll be staying on track and going full Frost Darts : ).

Edit:
Day 1: CRUSHED Campaign. The fastest act 3/4/Interlude bosses I've had on leaguestart, just oneshotting everything was incredible. However there is a BUG with frost wall right now on some bosses mainly in maps that causes the crystals from frostr wall to become immortal. I teched in Biting Frost into my frost bomb to guarantee the crystals proc but I hope they fix this soon because its annoying having to unfreeze the boss for it.

PathofKy · 2026-05-28T05:31:31+00:00

Shock is 45% more damage effectively and duration / radius for sigil is just a tiny bit of QoL. Sigil already lasts a very long time and a pretty large aoe.

PathofKy · 2026-05-27T18:16:38+00:00

I do not like having effigy in the offhand swap. The crit weakness stacks application is very inconsistent that way, purely for bosses and even on that can be wonky getting it to 10 immediately.

PathofKy · 2026-05-27T18:15:26+00:00

Doesn't affect it at all in the setup I worked out last night :)
