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.

To combat this I recommend using a red socketed Night's Hold talisman.

About the Rapid Decay:
Is it worth to link it into a 4L: Lightning Warp + Faster Casting + Reduced Duration + Rapid Decay?[/quote]

IMO Lightning Warp time is over. Flame dash is much, much better and don't block so many gem slots. It good enough with faster casting only, or even solo if your char is low lvl.

Awesome guide! Really fun and safe (used to static strike block build where everything is nice and easy and then BOOM, dead. Some spell I didn't know about one-shot me, again). Enjoying progressing through maps with my marauder. Only issue right now is that its really easy to miss culling totems since the regular ones burns everything so fast.

Skill-gems and setups:

For your main attack you will be using Flame Totem linked with Faster Casting, Fire Penetration, Faster Projectiles, Added Chaos Damage and Iron Will.

For a 5-link leave out Iron Will and for a 4-link leave out Iron Will and Added Chaos Damage.

Is Controlled Destruction better than any of the listed support gems for Flame Totem?

For extra mobility you should use: Lightning Warp linked with Faster Casting and Reduced Duration.

I would suggest adding in Controlled Destruction instead of Added Chaos Damage.

As for the LW setup, no I don't think that is worth spending a 4-link on =)

So, what exactly affects Totem dmg? I thought only Totem passives would. I always wanted to try a Totem build.

- spell dmg
- cast speed
- incresed fire dmg

that stats on items you need to get good dmg
cast speed scales VERY good

I don't use shield, just 2 wands and 30% speed boots for mobility to survive dmg.



That is my standard league char, 93 lvl now. After Talisman ends I got plans swap 3 linked Lighting warp for 2 linked Flame dash ( + faster casting ) and use 4 linked searing bond. Also change supports for fire trap. Another change I want make new build and use 3 extra that style jewels:



and maybe that kind of insane 16% cast speed amulet:

Thank you Elua
