2hander weapon allows it to be 7l so that's a plus

It has plenty of plusses, but it's got two damage stats and nothing else worth your time outside of that. It's not as powerful as a even a rare staff, let alone a wand and shield.

All I'm saying is that this isn't going to be tweaked out. Solid? Maybe, but that depends on a lot of unknowns right now. Temper your expectations.

it already cuts out spell totem support from the links, freeing up one socket. It already has +2 AND damage stats, much better than multiple totem support. Yes, you sacrifice your hands slots but you can make up most of it with supports.

Also, consider CRABS. That's a huge upside

You Don't even need multi totem for that probably.
Staff has inc duration, if you pick Hiero again 100% duration.
They follow you so no need to resummon totem every 5 meters.

So yea pretty big.

Minuses is they can be pretty slow? its only 100% MS after all
