[2.5 Video Guide] Beginner's Build: Dual Flame Totem, Blood Magic Chieftain [Atziri & HC/SC Viable]

Leveing 1-30 as marauder is very painful now, after 40 lvl that builds is super fast again.

Using 3'th totem from searing bond is fun and helps. Also fire trap for hard mobs.

Build guide updated for 2.1

In 2.1 Flame Totem has received a nerf to early level damage. At the same time late game damage has been buffed for the skill. Overall this change makes this build a little slower to level, but more powerful at end-game, a change I am very happy with! =)



Sad news is endgame is nerfed too. My tooltip went down from 25821 to 22339 on each flame totem.

That kind of changes in not OP at all build is very annoying and killing fun and willing to play PoE. Flame totem build is not super strong, its not build for Uber Atziri, it just low aoe coverage and kinda high in micro-menagement recasting totems to kill stuff on screen if you compare to that OP things like Tornado shot. I know lvling on flame totems was super fast, but now we got crap lvling under 40 lvl and nerfed endgame. Stupid move GGG.

When you say endgame, what level is your Flame Totem? :)

That said, I really don't see you having any problems by "only" dealing 22339 dps? That is more than enough to clear effectively at high level maps :)

My char lvl is 93, flame totem lvl is 22 [ 21 ( corrupted ) + 1 from Infernal mantle ]

Pretty much endgame :P

Dps is ok, but if you compare to builds making 150k dps it's not impressive at all.

Is this good for this build or not?

It is only AFTER level 22 flame totem has received a damage buff, so if you have to take it to higher levels if you want to experience that.

Secondly tool-tip dps means absolutely nothing. I have played 1000 dps build that outperformed 30k dps builds, it all depends on the skill used and the supports linked to it.

If tool-tip was the only thing that determined how good a build would be, we would all be playing crit dual strike :)

I'm using this build in Talisman SC league, and you should try linking your FT with the new gem "Controlled Destruction", it boosts your DPS a lot, since it adds "more" (instead of "increased") spell damage, already switched my Iron Will gem because I don't have enought strengh yet. Also, I'd like to know your opinion about getting a 2H staff with +2fire +1gem and some added fire damage to spell, have someone already tried?

what if i wish to turn this into a mf build for obvious reasons lol

https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/MuleStorageCauseIAmPoor/characters

current build... not much to look at but finding it hard to max out faster proj so wondering if itd be more beneficial to swap it out for the new gem that reduces crit but raises spell dmg

currently planning whe i get back to standard

ft, faster proj, faster cast, fire pen, iir, iiq

using arctic armor for while i sit in all the mobs but didnt plan to use any auras at all since blood magic lol
Hi

Is this viable for Magic Find?

I agree, "Controlled Destruction" is very good, also other new gem "Rapid decay" gives huge boost to Searing Bond.

Got some luck and get nice gem:
