First of all, what is the totem explode build? It's a crucible modifier that can spawn on weapons, and we'll be focusing on the ball weapon because it has a high tier version of the modifier. When your totems die, they explode and deal a lot of physical damage, up to 600% with the highest tier of the modifier. This is what carries the build, and you don't even have to craft your weapon to start playing. Just get a blue ball and allocate that passive in the weapon.

 

For the totems themselves, we'll be using the Boring Totem. Some people prefer the Rejuvenation Totem, but we've gone with the Boring Totem because it has a lot of HP and consumes corpses to leech life to you. This is great for maps and juiced content with lots of corpses.

 

To actually summon the totems, we'll be using trap support. You can throw traps and surround the totems, and when the totems die, xplode and deal damage. We'll be using multiple totem support, so we have a totem limit of three. If you throw more traps after that, the first three will be replaced, and the previous ones will explode and deal damage.

 

To boost the build, we'll be focusing on physical damage and damage over time. Physical damage can also poison, so pathfinders can achieve 100% poison chance. We'll also want a high level totem and totem life notables on the talent tree, as well as rare dribbles with totem life.

 

In the endgame, you'll want to craft your weapon with a toxic rain, all plus gems damage, water multiplier, and cast damage over time multiplier. Use a hunter orb for the cast damage over time multiplier, and multi-mod the last full level of socketed support gems. You can start with a level 3 Empower gem, which is cheaper than a level 4. You'll also want to boost gem levels for more DPS.

 

With this build, you can do everything in the game without breaking the bank. You can start with a blue ball and work your way up to a high-end setup capable of taking on the toughest bosses. The poison DPS limit is 36 million, which is how poison builds are limited in the game.
