Totemancer (Necromancer Totem)

So with Book of Kalan it works ok in fauzt. But Scosglen is ummm hard

... Did we have a Specc for Scosglen? FrostClaw only for the Absorb Monster then we have no Clearspeed. Storm then u have no Dmg against the Cold/ Lightning Absorb Monster "Etherborn". Pierce is also hard to get. So the only Way i see is Tenganze Runes for the Pierce. Or maybe Hide of the Basilisk for more Pierce and loosing all the Spell Focus and Stats from the Robe of Steel. Worth?
I appreciate any Tricks , Ideas, Suggestions

. Thanks @fuppy Great Guide so far and a aamazing Work.

My Gear is :

Staff : Obediance
Head : Lacuni Cowl
Chest : Robe of Steel
Amulet: Black Dwarf
Rings : Witchcraft and Nebelring
Belt : Ashera
Boots : Sacred Ornate Craft
Gloves : Lone Wolf

Pierce is 79 without Jinns.

As a side note, skipping those etherborns and the sturdy guards, farming is pretty fast. Using soulbond, 250 laek and 135% hiden spell damage is just so good. Makes me much more tanky compared to soulchain. Also with soulbond it makes much easier to deal with etherborns, but still kinda annoying whereas soulchain is just waste of time to try and deal with them. No single target at all.

I'm farming Scogslen, I have not tried the obedience staff (i *think* it will be worse since all one damage type) than standard 1/25/1 with an elvenfolk. I use lorekeeper buff and my storm totems in firedance are about 10k damage. Its slow to kill trees and ethers and I die a good amount, but I can clear the trash pretty fast. Shamanka helps a small amount. I don't even bother bringing a merc as they all die instantly.

I tried a Storm Focus (bad roll admittedly) and a ornate offhand, and it felt the same as elverfolk, maybe a better rolled one will have a bigger impact.

I have tried Scosglen with the same setup I did Fauzt in. There are some survivability issuess against Etherborn but apart from that, it goes pretty fast. And same, my merc dies pretty fast as well. I'm thinking we need to slap their gear full of resists gems in order for them to survive. I'm also thinking that if we want to kill Etherborn, we absolutely need a A3 bloodmage (fire caster) and a venomcloud totem relic to kill those Etherborns fast. Refer to Hireling Handbook for gear for the bloodmage if you decide to go that route.

I put Hide of the Basilisk as a second option for lategame v2; you can get capped PR but lose LAEK on demon kill and bonus to spell factor. See my comment above for Scosglen.

IIs this characteristic always on this item or is it accidental?

And can I get it randomly by crafting in a chorodric cube? with the help of a blue sorrow, two arcane crystals and oil of enchantments?

That specific mod always spawns on that unique, but uniques with sacred base items cannot be crafted and are drop only.

What's the best sacred unique farming spot?
