[2.5 Video Guide] Beginner's Build: Dual Flame Totem, Blood Magic Chieftain [Atziri & HC/SC Viable]
|
I testing with a Tabula +1 and I can say this is a better choice than a Infernal Mantle 6L, I have the 35% inc fire dmg and Tabula has a little bit more DPS. Since my Infernal Mantle has 5L, I did the test with 5 jewels on both chests.
Tabula
Infernal Mantle
 Also, a Tabula Rasa +1 costs ~3ex while Infernal Mantle 6L costs +10ex, and 300 ES from Infernal Mantle ain't big difference for our defense. Edit: One more point to Tabula+1 = you can link Empower and it will get +1 level :D Venezolano o latino, únete: https://www.facebook.com/groups/pathofexilelatino/ Last edited by _KRL_#4657 on Jan 12, 2016, 11:24:27 PM

" I see that the gem setup you are using for flame totem is different from the OP's suggestion, any reason? First time using this build, made it to 70+ doing mostly self found and just steam rolling everything. Goint to farm merc dried lakes until the xp falls off at I think 77? Then not sure where from there. Mapping I would assume. |

" I'm not using Faster Projectiles because I'm using the unique gloves "Winds of Change" (you can get some low rolls for 1c), wich gives enought Projectile Speed. There is a limit on FT range, so giving too much projectile speed is useless because the FT won't start atacking/casting unless in range. I'm not using Fire Penetration for clearing group of mobs because they die too fast, but for bosses I switch Added Chaos Damage with Fire Penetration, the tooltip DPS goes down a bit, but bosses die faster because they get more damage when combined with Flamability curse. OP didn't update this thread, and it seems like he didn't test Controlled Destruction gem, wich really boosts the Totem DPS a lot. I'm doing 35k tooltip DPS per totem, and my gems are not 20/20 yet, also, I must get a 21 FT and a lvl 4 Empower, that would make it better.

" Yeah, I feel like the thread is a bit out of date based on current game and also noticed some discrepancies from his video and then information in the thread. Also was wondering if he knew that putting herald of thunder w/ increased duration actually makes it reserve more mana (5% more). I got my duel flame totem marauder up to 78 and resist capped w/ 5k life and a 5L chest, not sure where to go from here or how to cost efficiently upgrade. I am just farming dried lake, saving t1 maps and decent rares. I really enjoy the build, but feel like it could be better in terms of dps if I want to go into mapping. |

Not sure if you're still checking this thread, LNB, but wanted to say thank you for a great guide and build!
I've been steamrolling through to maps (easy T5 now) with only a couple of stupid RIPs. First time for me to kill Malachai on Cruel without dying. So that's great. I'm looking forward to trying Atziri for the first time, too! Having luckily found both Infernal Mantle and The Consuming Dark, I am now only producing chaos damage. Since you are suggesting both as recommended and nice to have, respectively, I think it might be worth mentioning that Fire Penetration support and Flammability are no longer useful to the build. I am using Projectile Weakness instead. Are there better options? |

" You can use Vulnerability, because now your totems poison. Or you can use the new gem Wither: http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Wither Venezolano o latino, únete: https://www.facebook.com/groups/pathofexilelatino/

"For your main attack you will be using Flame Totem linked with Faster Casting, Fire Penetration, Controlled Destruction, Faster Projectiles and Iron Will.
For a 5-link leave out Iron Will and for a 4-link leave out Iron Will and Added Chaos Damage." Just wanted to quickly point out that you say to use controlled destruction in the first part of this quote, and then refer to added chaos damage instead in the second part. Might confuse newbies. Also, controlled destruction > faster projectiles now? I'm using flame totem in a 4 link +1 fire staff to level my righteous fire marauder, I'll have to try that as a 4th link. Thanks for all the awesome guides btw :) | |
" i was looking for the same exact question. you are using controlled dest. or added chaos damage for the second blue gem? |
|
" Faster Projectiles is no longer required, you can use the gloves "Winds of Change" and you will have enought projectile speed, remember that totems have a range limit where it can start attacking/casting, so unless monsters are in range, totems will do nothing but watch monsters. Controlled Destruction is a must for this build, and probably for any spell build, since it has "more" damage, wich multiplies your raw DPS, that gem gives more DPS than any other support gem for totems, already tested with 20/20 gems.
