There should be a short youtube clip for everything you can buy.

One example: https://www.pathofexile.com/shop/category/armour-effects#microtransaction-RavenArmourPack

There's often posts on reddit that show how every set looks on every class. You can also just post if you want to see a specific MTX combo and there's usually someone with it that will screenshot it for you.

But yes, an in game preview that actually showed it on your character would be smart.

I was messing around with hierophant BF Totems before the turmoil race, it's not bad, although I'm excited to try it again when spell cascade is out.

The little video gives a pretty good idea. A bit more difficult if you're going for a mix and match look, though.

KB totems would be pretty hard to build around IMO, you lose ~26% damage from GMP, another 26% less damage from ranged attack totem AND 30% less attack speed. If you're heiro you're also losing 7% damage per totem up as well.

I quit last league before I got any reasonable distance on my last build, Deadeye Seige Totem bleeding. Tell me why this is a bad idea so I don't try to do it in this Mayhem league.

donut run totems in mayhem

you want to either be super beefy or super ranged

hope you like casting totems every step because some rear end in a top hat rogue exile and his 19 friends sundered it again

While deadeye siege ballista totems might be bad specifically, this advice is not correct at all. Totems got buffed ages back and are now super tanky, if you pick up any of the wheels relating to damage reduction, they are even more tanky. Totem placement is still incredibly important and if you poorly place totems then yes, they will die.

Warchief totem would be pretty good for mayhem or even frostbolt totem. I guess magma orb totem would also be fine. Along with all the other totem builds that would be good.

Other important thing is to get a lot of totem placement speed as the faster your totems start dealing damage then well, less things to be killing them. Also you know, spire of stone if you find your totems being stunned often.

ok ill rephrase that totems are boring and suck and probably the worst choice for a game/league where clearspeed is king

I think you mean mines can do better. I'd still say things like frostbolt totem are better than most trap builds. Mines poo poo on most totem and trap builds though in clear speed.

also because warchief totems are actually real good and fun still

also leveling as DP totems felt like asssssssss

This is definitely not true. Several totem builds have nice clearspeed, considering you can drop the totems and continue moving while they kill stuff. Traps are trash and have cool downs. Have you actually played with either?

For abyss I'm going to want something tanky, because my worst problem every character I play is getting one shot by bosses and it's annoying.

I've never played totems or mines or traps, recommend me something suitable (and maybe something I can give a test drive in mayhem).
