Great guide, I'm going to try this build out in the upcoming Darkshrine 1-month league. It seems like the least squishy Flame Totem build out there...
Could this build benefit from the classic Ice Spear + Greater Multiple Projectiles + Power Charge on Critical setup for charge generation, or does Ancestral Bond's damage prevention also deny us the charges from Ice Spear crits? scroogetemplar / scroogewitch / scroogemarauder

" It works alright. I don't do it but many have. It depends on your playstyle. I tried it at some point and it added iirc 5k dps. I didn't think it was worth the hassle but try it out yourself and see if it's something that works for you. 3.3 RF Trickster SSF HC guide :

Hey there, so i just checked your new gem setup, was just wondering are you losing much life when you flame dash, or is it more flame dash to get out of places rather then get around quickly??
Thanks in advance :) |

" I use it to get out of sticky situation. I wish I could use Whirling Blades. If I ever find a comparible Dagger I will switch for sure. The life loss casting it is negligible. 3.3 RF Trickster SSF HC guide :

Any thoughts on trying uber with this build?

" I would have done Uber long timae ago if I wasn't playing self-found. I need 2 more Hope drops and then I'll give it a go. I'm pretty confident I will down her. I'm now levelling and need 25% to 92. I will do a small respec when I get to 92 and change belt. That should give me a small bosst in DPS and get me more HP and ES. I'll then start farming normal Atziri and run Uber as soon as I get the Hope drops. 3.3 RF Trickster SSF HC guide :

Hey really interested in this build.
I just started playing the blood magic duel totem build yesterday (https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1303239/page/1) and only just saw this thread here now. I wanted to know before I progress any further, does anyone know the main pros/cons of this crit version of the build vs the blood magic version?

Hi! Playing this build religiously, I'm level 89 and love it! But I have to say I am in a kind of funk right now. I'm not sure what I am overlooking but I have %32 crit chance and and only 40k tooltip when mapping and using herald of ice (not often because of mana reserve and mantle). Thats compared to %50 crit chance and 71k tool tip on build page.
I use Item rarity gem insted of 20/20 added chaos. The 20/20 added chaos only gives another 5k of tooltip dps so went with item rarity. I think I have good gear and have followed the tree to the letter. The only small change is that I am running 3 zombies and 1 specter as I think they make good meat shields. I do feel that I have good clear speed, but I'm only able to sustain tier 7-8 maps with an occasional 9 or 10. I can run any map mods easily, but I fear something is holding me back getting into the upper map tiers and also atziri. Can someone help me out? I'm sure my understanding of crit chance and multi are probably flawed so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Gear
Wand: I haven't found a want or dagger yet that can beat it in tooltip DPS, even though its added cold rather than added fire to spells. If it were fire, it would be totally awesome but I found this one, and anything else that comes close costs multiple exalts. Mantle: I am saving up chromes to color it correctly to replace added cold damage to level 3 empower which I have leveled myself. (too scared to vaal it for chance at level 4) Would it help DPS to color it now or wait until I have a 20/20 flame totem? Helm: For my minions Belt: For DPS and res Gloves, rings, shield: Crit and res Ammy: Crit and cast speed

" The main difference in the builds is dps. This build does alot more dps, but the other has more armor and uses HP to cast spells wich is very beginner friendly. " Your gear and tree is fine. It's your gem levels and Empower thats lacking. If you get lvl 21 Flame Totem gem and put lvl 3-4 Empower for your Item Rarity you'll start seeing some good dps numbers. You should be using a second Flame Totem linked to Culling Strike and Item Rarity/Quantity instead of using ItemRarity in your 6-link if you miss dps. You should defenetly Vaal your Empower and replace your Item Rarity with it. To get more crit you can get a weapon with 100%+ crit chance and a shield with more crit aswell. 3.3 RF Trickster SSF HC guide :
