Updated Build with little changes on Gem/Tree for 2.1

Since chaos damage is really good now, I changed tree a bit to make it better with consuming dark.

Took out fire penetration, added more jewels etc.

There are few jewels passive nodes close if you have a nice jewels to use.
The same tree can be done with all 3 classes, I am playing as Shadow

Also, do not get dual totem node until you have your flameblast and spell totem ready!

Just FYI there's a random node taken above Trickery that doesn't need to be there.

Thanks again for the build, I've been using it THC to great success. Currently level 83 and mapping around Tiers 5-7. I mostly followed your OP, but I'm using Blasphemy-Enfeeble instead of Temp Chains because I feel that the 30% damage reduction is much more valuable in HC.

The build really came together when I started using Blade Vortex to generate power charges, as the skill synergizes nicely with build's playstyle of dropping totems and using whirling blades to "corral" mobs into the flameblast. Since I don't have to do anything while the totems are charging up, it gives the perfect opportunity to whirl around, get some Power charges, and cast Enduring cry before blowing everything to smithereens. It's almost like a dance, there is a certain rhythm to it, and strategically placing the totems to explode in a cascade takes practice and concentration. And having a Divination Distillate has been a huge boon cause I can just pop that baby right before I detonate both flameblasts = ez farming. I feel bad for the people who saw "flameblast totem" and immediately wrote it off as boring because it's honestly one of the more fun builds I've yet played.

Gear is still pretty mediocre, been getting pretty bad drops this whole league...

Spoiler

What do you think are the best jewels for this build? Crit multi, fire damage, life?
