Questions about acolyte stuff

Hey ! Lvl 47 acolyte here, and i was wondering what skill to bet first in the skill tree larger blood pool or waiting until lvl 48 to be able to get fluid healing : both seem to have their use, but i don't know wich one to get first (i have +19% in water damage with my current build).
Thanks for your answers !

 

Personally I would go for Larger Blood Pool unless you want to focus on healing. The small bonus Fluid Healing gives at level 47 won’t outweigh the power boost from LBP usually. Also, when you are a higher level, you’ll be able to get both, so you won’t be missing out on anything. And if you don’t like the choice you make, you can edit the tree with Ability Shards.

Good luck!

 

thank you !

I was also wondering, does the larger totem aoe can be benficial ? Since my main way of moving will be by teleporting thanks to blood connection, wouldn't i benefit from a smaller totem range to be able to teleport more often ?

Thanks again !

 

Hey! A lot of acolyte players prefer not taking Better Totem for more Blood Connection triggers. However if you want to know the benefits of Better Totem, then I got you!

I personally take both Better Totem and Blood Connection. Better Totem gives you more area to work with to dodge enemies while still gaining Blood Pool points with Sacrificial Shrine. In combat, I only use Blood Connection to keep myself within my Totem's range. However I still use default Haul to move around and dodge attacks without moving my Totem.

I will say though that I use a weapon that is very heavy on Water Damage %, which makes my healing incredibly strong. It's warped my perception of what normal acolyte gameplay looks like, so take my perspective with a grain of salt.

Ultimately, it's up to playstyle preference! Some players like moving their Totem around, while others don't. You can always change your Ability Tree, so don't be afraid to experiment a bit!

 

okay thank you for your time !
