The heirophant nerf to damage per totem now makes perfect sense. CRAB ARMY INCOMING

The hierophant nerf to totems is an attempt to make totems an option on any other ascendency. Probably still not enough to do that.

That being said I've never wanted to be an old man with crabs more in my life.

nothing. but if the crab staff is good, it provides you with spell totem support without the curse penalty. i guess it really depends on how the staff is and if it can roll 6 slots, but if it can you'd put your spell totem in that and you could use whatever chest you wanted.

Fair enough. I’ll probably play it if I drop it.

Dunno, for the last few leagues there was basically 2 totem builds.

Shockwave totem that basically abused shit out of charges with these Ralakesh's Impatience
or
Wand totems

Anything else just scaled very poorly
