This one's probably my new favorite killer build.

Haunted Grounds, Retribution, Thrill of the Hunt, and Undying.

If they ever, ever even think about touching a totem? It's gonna take at least 21 seconds to take the first one out, and that'll just be Undying. Free aura reading!

After that, I win no matter what they cleanse. Haunted Grounds? A minute of instadown and 10 seconds of aura reading. Retribution? More aura reading! Thrill of the Hunt? You guessed it. It takes longer, they're oblivious, and I get more aura reading. It's a flawless, foolproof plan.

Now, I know what you're thinking.

"Hey, Grandpa, considering every single totem is lit and Undying doesn't aura read off lit totems, isn't it true that if no-one touches totems you literally don't have any perks?"

And you know, that's a really interesting point.

My answer to that is

    What you've invented is basically a bug zapper for Mikaelas.

    I don't think it'd actually fail often, though. Even if nobody brought boons (and somebody brought boons) - when people see that many totems, they go "oh god oh no oh #########" and assume it's protecting Devour or something really fiendish and nasty and get on them like their lives depend on it.

    The best part is that if you get lucky, Haunted Grounds plus aura reading can proc twice.

    You know, I wasn't even thinking about boons at all when I thought of the build, but that's such a good point i'm stealing taking, copyrighting and levying lawsuits against anyone else who uses the name.
