Hello,
I am also in beta and I'm trying this build, I think you can compensate for a part of the nerfs by using the Knockback gem with the flame totem. I'm in a4 cruel so far, using self found items and for the moment i feel quite alright with the dps and the crowd control. Rarely they get close to me. Here is my beta tree so far (currently on my way to Shaman's Dominion): http://tinyurl.com/p2scmrq Last edited by gophren#6529 on May 24, 2015, 4:19:12 AM

I am playing this build on beta, currently level 70. This build is not 100% dead, it is just not as strong as it was with limited gear. The golem helps with the aggro problem, and it is also possible to use zombie to help (though not needed). Dps is quite strong, shit dies really fast (doing it with 150% IIR 10IIQ)
But yea, definitely not anymore a tier 1 build, you are too much squishy :(( - Last edited by Zybeline2#7822 on May 25, 2015, 4:32:25 AM

" alot of people are bad and dont know what they are talking about... i tested it fully and i even tested full crit shockwave totems and many many other builds Since they changed the totem aggro you can no longer go full dps and the dps itself is 1/5th of the current dps on live servers. video showing totem aggro changes - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJa3djm0Tts |

What a shame.
I'm currently Level 84 with this build and there is no map and no boss that can stand up to my totems. Really liked it, specially when i got it going around level 70 and basically found everything i needed for it myself. The darkness looms forebodingly...

" How 'crit shockwave' worked out on beta? Was it viable? „Never underestimate one's greediness.”

Shockwave feels like the only totem build that you can still go full crit on.
Especially when using hatred and having big cold damage so that the crits not only freeze but your totems will knock them back (or suck them if ur using the empires grasp) With shockwave totem using increased aoe and some aoe nodes you can get it almost full screen and when your using ancestral bond or even the silk robe to have 2 or 3 totems the full screen knockback effect becomes safe enough to protect you. Either way now totem builds will need some kind of heavy defence with the aggro protection gone and Cast when damage taken immortal call gone. You will most likely need massive life regen/ massive armor/ or to incorporate evasion & acrobatics (but starting as ranger would not be that easy for a full crit or even a totem build in general. tbh i have given up on totems and i know for sure this build will die in 2.0 current flame totem - http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Flame_Totem beta flame totem - http://cb.poedb.tw/us/gem.php?n=Flame+Totem current shock wave totem -http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Shockwave_Totem beta shock wave totem - http://cb.poedb.tw/us/gem.php?n=Shockwave+Totem Flame totem had a massive buff especially with the 1% increased base crit chance. however flame totem was literally all about shotgunning. Pros for beta flame totem - no need for lmp or gmp, additional projectiles built in, higher base damage, higher base crit. Con - no more shotgunning, 25% damage effectiveness is still on it so its very hard to scale. .... Shockwave totem has a small buff on the beta, but the 50% damage effectiveness makes it very easy to scale and win no aoe nerfs the aoe dmg is still incredible. Either way i wouldnt use totems at all because with the increased map pool and small buffs to mob its very easy to rip and so now you cant just go full damage. your better off using many many other builds and even melee is looking gg atm. |

From the announcements about changes, i was not expecting otherwise. But then, as for the flashback league and until 2.0 is there, i really enjoy having started this build
Changed charging to romira's/ incinerate-coh-assassin's-gmp double cursing ele weakness with windscream and the totems work like a blender for bosses also made a short atziri video i wanted to share will post the link when it's uplaoded. i never had the bossfights done so fast its great fun :D |
