So I tried the change gtrans suggested.

I actually lost 29 life and gained small mana and life regen.

Each 10 str node gives you +5 life so by losing 50 str I lost 25 added life.

I'm not going to update my original post with the changes as it's defenetly not worth the 11 Regals.

How is that not a good trade off?

40% mana regen
1% life regen
2% max life
8% chaos resist
10 dex

for

25 life

You can get 25 life just by min maxing your gear. And you don't get life regen from items.

I really feel like you should've taken Alira's permanent 5% cast speed instead of 1 passive point.

Here's my point of view:

Giving the nature of your build (crit based) and the nature of our skill which heavily relies on cast speed to be the most effective, 5% cast speed (recently buffed from 4%) is really a must for this build.

Cast speed helps EVERYTHING, from casting you auras to using lightning warp or summoning golems. Whatever. Cast speed goes hand in hand with a crit build. In a given time span, with more cast speed than usual, you are likely to crit more often. That AND the fact that almost 50% of our damage comes from Added Chaos Damage gem. This gem is godly when pared with a high cast speed which is the only potent way to boost its effectiveness.

I feel like accessing 5% cast speed much earlier in the game helps a ton with clear speed. You could argue that with 1 passive point you can travel further on the tree but when is that 1 passive an advantage compared to the 5% cast?

First of all thanks for the great guide.
I'm thinking about using this build for the upcoming 1 month league.

I have a couple of questions:

What is your opinion about Phase Run, because this build is all about dodging and moving around while your Totems kill everything?

Is the Diamond Flask good for this build?
With about 50% crit and 500% crit dmg, it could boost your DPS by 35% (while it is up), if i did the math correctly.

Is it really good to use three Vaal skills?
In my opinion it takes way too long to "fill" them up. I used three in my SRS build and I could not use them until late into the maps.

Rusherboy wanna ask your opinion what do you think of Three Dragon mask? and added lightning combo?

I try it my when you using three dragon helm gives like 90% shock on enemies effect of +50% more damage which is good + added lightning gem i try it my self also gives freeze and shatter enemy into piece which is more safer for totem in crowd of mobs.


what do you think of it?
