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

Posted on your youtube vid, had to post here as well. That is how much im in love with this build. The only items i had were the gems from my main (new player so dont have much anyway). I chose mf gear and gems over defense and i have found some decent gear and a tabula. I melt stuff away. Currently lvl 65 doing tropic maps with some of the nastiest mods you can imagine. Takes a little longer because i am using iiq iir in the 6 link, still shredding stuff though. Such a fun build. Going to farm maps some more till i can comfortably farm dominions.

Great build!!! I have been using this and have made it to lvl 79 on beyond. I do have a few questions though. I was wondering if Fire Damage Leeched as Life restored life to the character or to the totems both would be cool just wondering.

Current Gear


Just got this Sceptre and was wondering if I should craft fire leech on it or increased fire damage.


Also I am trying to use firestorm to cull with by using the 3 sockets on my weapon.
Like this.

Well thanks a lot for the build I am fairly new to PoE only been playing about a month or two and this has made my gaming more enjoyable. If you have any suggestions that you think would help me. Please let me know.

Thanks again for the Great video and guide. I have watched a lot of your videos and it has made me a much better poe player for it.



Thank you very much for the kind words Retank.

I am not completely sure what you are asking though? However I would definitely recommend increased fire damage over life leech for the scepter :)

Hello, guys!

I have a couple of questions. I'm playing in Hardcore League with crit-based variation of this build. My character is Witch on level 61, I did all quests except "Sceptre of God".

For clarification, here is my passive skill tree. I followed leveling method given by Tyranastrasz - thanks!
My equipment:
Spoiler


And here are my questions:
- which flasks should I buy? Quicksilver flask, that's for sure. Would be a good option buying two Divine Life Flasks with "Instant Recovery" - one with "Dispels Burning" and other with "Dispels Frozen and Chilled" affixes? Is it better to grab two Granite Flasks instead one Granite flask and one Diamond Flask, since I play on Hardcore League?,
- should I go with one crit-based wand and shield or two crit-based wands? And if with shield, which one to grab? Maybe solid Lioneye's Remorse?,
- for rare items, is it better to with armor instead of energy shield?,
- would be a reasonable running with Maligaro's Virtuosity or defensive rare?,
- would you consider belt with such stats as an endgame item?
Spoiler
+40 to maximum Life
+393 to Armour
+98 to maximum Life
+40 to maximum Energy Shield
+36% to Fire Resistance
+31% to Cold Resistance
+43% to Lightning Resistance


If you have other suggestions not included in my questions or you just want to ask me something, feel free to to it!

Many thanks, fellas!

Edit: I know this may sound stupid, but do I have enough currency for buying better gear (especially for 75% to all resistances bonus, killing Dominus and farming maps)? I don't know much about that topic, I'm beginner in Path of Exile, anyways.

Hello 728587

1. I would recommend 2 seething life flasks. 1 hallowed and 1 divine. Additionally I would also roll "of staunching" on at least one of them to stop bleed effects.

2. Lionseye is what I would go with yes, if you are armour based that is.

3. Armor is better if you aren't energy shield focused.

4. Maligaro's if you can cap your resistances with the rest of your gear.

5. That belt is pretty insane. Very nice and yes an end-game item.

6. You have more than enough currency to buy gear to get resistance capped :)

@nerdbro

just these
- the bloodless cluster can be better allocated to more dexterity nodes(makes leveling easier , One less gear requirement if ur build theme is to keep as simple as possible) hmm quickness nodes to the right

- why would u say doryani catalyst is BIS for this build of yours i dont quite understand the synergy it provides

-why would u suggest windscream as optimum setup for this build i dont understand from the +1 curse ,point of view since ur build is simply curse mobs with flammability-> setup totems -> and loot and 1 curse is needed, case is most builds that use windscream are party bound while this build is just solo play i assume?

- whats the need for the infernal mantle which is Es based and when u take most of ur shield passive which is optimized for armor based can understand the chaos conversion , +1 level gem and the global crit chance , but tbh tho belly of the beast is amazing for this u got life , armour , recovery flask colouring would be a bitch tho

@molderx
first things first
take out the goldrim and change for a real helm with life and double res you should be able to get it for cheap in standard
take out lioneye paws it will not do good for ur build
take out mokou embrace and change for a real ring
rage locket would be nice if they actually have double resist mods


From what we are seening of the new patch 1.3. Will this build have any chanse to be as strong as now or will we expect some less fun?
