Original ideas and early versions

Have you tried totem with that? How is that working together?
Work at all?
Good?
Also bugged?

I tried Ranged Attack Totem.
It works like everything else, does not bypass the cooldown and reduces damage&projectile speed.
Would not recommend using RAT at all.

But is it also bugged?
Can you make 2 totem? Each with its own timer?
Or one totem that shoot and in the same time you also shoot?
I think it even possible to make two totems that shoot while you also shoot... Cause you aren't the one that making dmg..

It was bugged, yes. Not anymore though ;-)
You can place 2 totems each with its own timer, correct. But not bypassing the CD. So you could go for for dual totem and selfshoot, yes.

My post at reddit :


First of all, thanks to you guys for all of your nice feedback and bringing attention to the bug. Also thanks to GGG for fixing the bug in a way that I never even dreamed of. So the new patch changed some things: Minion always explodes, even when it spawns on Lowlife. This is huge and we don't have to pot ever again. The bugs are all gone. This means we can reserve any amount of life, as long as we stay Lowlife. No more reservation issues. This leads to a deciding question: Either we go deeper on the Auras (and remove Herald in the same action), so we have around 150 life unreserved to be abled to cast all stuff. Probably including Haste. Or we go BM Gem with Clarity/xyz on life, some Auras on Mana and free up like 30 passive points. This does not make great use of the possibilities the BM keystone offers though. What do you guys think?

This is actually an intriguing concept I would like to test out.

For leveling purposes I see Trap-BurningArrow, Explosive Arrow or Firetrap Prolif as effecient ways to not having to respec before switching to low-life lorica.

What do you think is the best leveling variation of the build in order to transition the earliest over to the main spec?

With the patch, I'm getting pretty excited about this thing !

I'm thinking no BM, save tons of passives and don't lose much in the process. Possibly chaos res and no shavs/lorica because that's a playstyle I really like and that is finally gaining some traction recently. I want to try using an attack with double or triple curse on hit in the chest, probably RoA-CoH-Flam-EW-TC?-AoE/FA?. Probably zombies but likely no spectres. Tree might look like this. Foreseen problems : socket space is likely to be a huge PITA. no defense against phys dmg.

OK, so I pulled the trigger on a lvl 80 respec in standard with cannibalized/thrown together gear. It's showing some serious promise.

The links in the bow are completely WiP. It started with looking for something to use while MA is on cooldown and there are still enemies around, but I'm finding I need that less and less as I get used to how the build plays. I'm thinking of scrapping it completely, and putting RoA CoH in there with a third curse (probably temp chains) with a curse ammy ; a curse Sidhe, or probably rather Chayula, is not that hard to get. Then the 4L goes to Vaal Disc and possibly Grace.
Having the zombies in the 6L along with MA is actually pretty nice, if not terribly necessary ; they do good explosion damage too, in situations where you probably need the extra boom (ie against high damage stuff). In a non-standard environment I'd be pretty happy with a 5L MA and unsupported zombies being just damage sponges.

defensively I'm at 6.7k ES ; 700 unreserved life with 60%ish chaos res which seems enough for general mapping, havent had any issues ; 82/80/83 resists ; 2k eva that becomes 10k with a Jade. I will be running Grace for 6.5k/19k eva when I get my sockets sorted out. I'm also currently lacking sockets for Vaal Discipline but that will definitely be in at some point.

Regarding traps : fuck them. Feels so much better without another delay added, not to mention slow laying speed, destruction risk, etc. I really want to make this work without them. Maybe as a secondary link as I currently have in my (shit) bow but not as primary.

Regarding damage : it's great. Everything dies to a single hit in 78s, except bosses. I'm starting to think a +3 bow is completely unnecessary, which is good because I don't want to be rolling GBBBR(R/B) on one, not to mention the cost.

EDIT/UPDATE: I'll be moving this to my own thread, don't want to highjack this one. Making good progress, the standard test build did some really tough stuff today (double beyond packsize palace at lvl 82, lol), and I'm starting a torment char to see what I can do with more limited resources (should not be an issue -the 6Ls are mostly unnecessary, and the gearing is pretty lenient with purities).
