3.PoE 3.5 Armageddon Brand Mines Hierophant Builds

Pros & Cons:
+ High damage output
+ Very cheap (can get started with couple chaos)
+ Safe playstyle due to totems and 40% MoM
+ Reflect Immune
+ Can switch up between totem and mine/brand playstyles on the fly (if that's your thing)
+ So far, no problems with Syndicate encounters/safehouses
- Damage may fall off towards endgame (I haven't tested yet)
- Totem and my playstyle: Requires a 'startup' time
- You can get reckless with Brand Recall and running into packs
- Can be very clunky to play, especially at lower levels
- Balefire isn't available until level 60
- Tooltip dps isn't accurate, and PoB dps isn't accurate either
- Brand counter icon seems a little bugged currently (no gameplay impact)

Ascendancy:
1) Pursuit of Faith
2) Sign of Purpose / Ritual of Awakening.
3) It doesn't matter too much, although the Ritual of Awakening gives you nice regen and greatly enhances totem placement speed, whereas the sign of purpose gives you a chunk of single target dps.
4) Divine Guidance

Vaal Righteous Fire

Lastly:
Brand Recall is a must, you are playing with brands after all.

Pros & Cons:

- Like most other builds, can be expensive to min-max

5.PoE 3.5 QotF Storm Brand Hierophant Map Farmer Builds

Pros & Cons:
+ Cheap to build, Actually free to build SSF don't NEED any uniques and only need 4 links.
+ Multi-Level defenses (Meatshields>Reduced Movespeed/ActionSpeed>"Evasion">Block>max Endurance charges/Immortal call>EnergyShield>Mind of matter>Armour/Life)
+ Makes non-knockback immune enemies trivial
+ FUN! To not just kill but push enemies into a corner (Especially bosses) as your cronies beat them up >:)
+ Versatile leveling (And somewhat versatile end game build)
+ Summoner build that doesn't need to manually cast any summoning spells. (Casting Ball lightning will automatically summon Sentinels/Scorpion)
- None that I can think of, Well none that doesn't apply to every build.
- Uniques can improve the build, More expensive ones improve it better.
- 6linked items improve the build.
- Doing it SSF can use a lot of Chromas, Jewelers, Fusings to get the right gems in the right spots.
- There are tankier builds and builds that do more DPS
- Guess there might be one, Build path is a bit stretched out

Ascendancy:

1. Sign of Purpose
2. Illuminated Devotion
3. Arcane Blessing
4a. Conviction of Power
4b. Pursuit of Faith

Gem Links:
4L Ball Lightning-KnockBack-Blind-Posion
4L HeraldOfAgony-HeraldOfPurity-MinionDMG-FasterAttacks
4L ArmageddonBrand-CurseOnHit-Enfeeble-TemporalChains
4L CastWhenDamageTaken-ImmortalCall-IncreasedDuration-Enfeeble
3L SpellTotem-VaalSummonSkeleton-Maim
2L FlameDash-FasterCasting

- Ball lightning - Poison - Added Knockback - Blind (Essentially 100% chance to continuously do 100% increased Knockback and lessen the chance to hit by 50% and lowers the light radius to the minimum value and reduce the effective critical strike chance)
- Herald of Agony (Gives poison chance and Summons Scorpion as the main goal behind the build)
- Herald of Purity (Adds physical damage to spells so they can poison to summon Herald of Agony, Summons Genitals to distract/kill enemies, with 10% chance to summon on rare/unique hit have 100% uptime, without needing to resummon if compared to using zombies for the same purpose)
- Brand - Curse on hit - Enfeeble - Temporal Chains, Spread curses to enemies and keep them on bosses for longer.
- Cast When Damage Taken - Immortal Call
