Totem Earthshatter Smith of Kitava Feedback

few things:

bit confused over your 2nd weapon set with a mace, what is the purpose? U have premediation to buff slams with your seismic cry but I only see leap slam as the only self-casted slam? (am i missing something?). but then you have corrupting cry support, but no pin support to stop the cry from stunning and going on cooldown? (I dont think you are playing warbringer here cause you said smith of kitava in the reddit post)

Furthermore even with pin support, if the enemy is heavy stunned and you warcry, it will still go on cooldown, meaning after the first warcry on a boss that is heavy stunned you will have no warcrys to pop the extra earthshatter spikes until the cooldown is back.

"split the node" on the tree no longer works with totems, it was patched as a bug fix in the patch notes

you have a few random small nodes taken near "breaking blows", why not take crushing verdict instead?

not exactly sure about the shield cluster on the left side, 20 flat life on block is more or less negligible

you are annointing lay siege but its really close on the tree, you could pretty easy just path it to and get some inc block on the way

your skill config has 18 earthshatters, but the earthshatter gem says "maximum 6 spikes"

your running resonating shield with armour explosion, which has a line that says "supported skills cannot break armour", so your resonating shield wont be able to break armour

Isn't just the Warbringer better ascendancy for a totem build due to the access to "answered call" to get ancestral spirits with totems, anvil weights and imploding impacts for armor break, turtle charm working with svalinn and wepon swap for double +7 all skills when throwing a totems?

I'm still in the thinking what would be actually tankier and provide more damage with a totem build.

there is a detailed build guide for warbringer, a lot of relevant info there

if you're not warbringer you'll be doing a bunch differently. The most important variation is that you need to solve seismic cry going on cooldown when you stun a mob

you can use pin or the new brink support for this
