Its funny all the armchair quarterbacks trying to say your build will not work. I had an 80 crit totem that kept getting one shot and dying, so i switched to fire damage and life last reset. The pure fire damage flame totem topped out at around tier 10 maps before it just took too long to clear (but atleast I was not getting one shot anymore). I was about to give up on the build when I saw your build. The trees were simmilar and I already had the rathpith so I bought a consuming dark. Instantly the damage was better due to ignoring the energy shields and resistances.
A few days ago I bought a 6 link infernal mantle and now mobs just melt. I have no trouble living with over 6700 life/es (crappy un-optimized gear seeing as I just started this build), Elemental reflect is no longer a problem causing me to oom my mana on totems, elemental equilibrium is no longer an issue seeing as it does not effect chaos damage, and ignoring the es of the mobs will as much as cut their effective life pool in half (wish I had this build back when Igna Phoenix was super op!), effectively doubling the totems dps. All these things this build has over crit ft.
IMO from personal experience, because of all this, a 50k chaos build will be significantly faster to clear maps than a crit ft build doing 70k, and can do more map mods with less deaths.
So as someone who has ACTUALLY TRIED THE BUILD,
Thank you for your amazing build! Just ignore all those jelly babies. They dont know what they are talking about. :-)

TY for the feedback =)
I'm glad you are loving the build. The whole idea behind it was to be able to run any map mods without caring. Even myself doubted the build would work at first until I got into higher maps and better gear. Then it blew my mind and had to share it =)
Care to share your tree? I'd like to take a look at it, I'm curious on how you got so much HP.

Try using the method above follow everything in standard
so far so good but however my DPS was only 22K in totem
I realise your without anybuff was 35K so how did u get so high?
Lv 80 totem DPS 22k without buff
37,7k dps actually.
Lvl 21 flame totem + 1 level from infernal mantle + 2 levels from Empower lvl3. Levels 24 Flame Totem is very important to get.
Also 6L is a very big factor of why my dps got that high because it allowed me to use Empower with FT.
After that its all small optimisations like 59% on consuming dark, near max rathpith, 49% winds of change, 35% infernal mantle and good jewels.
my totem was only lv18 Q20 and some of my gem that are link are not max 18/19 6L maybe that why i looking at short dps + i was lv 80 & i short of equip 2 jewel socket
my totem was only lv18 Q20 and some of my gem that are link are not max 18/19 6L maybe that why i looking at short dps + i was lv 80 & i short of equip 2 jewel socket
maybe if i lv 85 maybe i can see 30K DPS
Ok better rush :)
Damage goes up by a lot once you go beyond level 22 FT (lvl 21 gem + 1 from infernal then whatever from empower). I insist on getting a lvl 21 gem it is quite important!
Hello this is my version of the Flame Totem Build with the new chaos stuff added in 2.1.
This is a fairly cheap build and this the first build/guide that I write.
The Idea is to convert all the fire damage to Chaos damage using the combo of Infernal Mantle + The Consuming Dark Fiend Dagger. This is a NON-crit build.
This build is still a work in progress and may NOT be optimal. I’m still working on it although it is working wonderfully for me. I am currently breezing through tier 10-12 maps without breaking a sweat with any map mod. (TY chaos dmg for not being resisted by pretty much anything). This build is flexible on the skill tree.
Take note that I am NOT focusing at all on the Poison provided by the Consuming Dark Dagger, it is not effective at all to do so. It is however a nice bonus to your damage that you don't have to focus on. It does stack pretty nicely with your cast speed and from all the projectiles a flame totem shoots (each projectile is 1 stack of poison). It is nothing extraordinary but it is a freebie.
Update Logs
Spoiler
Update dec 30th: I started farming Atziri with this build and it is very easy. She just gets rekt by chaos damage. The boss fights before her werent that much of a struggle either. My first run i havent used a single portal. Not once I came close to dieing. I'll add a video once I do the run better.
Next step is getting that 6L and try uber.
Update 2: After spending many exalted orbs (about 6-7) on fusings i finally got my 6L Infernal Mantle. My DPS with a lvl 2 empower, which provides +1 level, went up to 31.3k intown dps. With vaal haste and Atziri Promise 41.4k dps!! With a 99% Doryani's Catalyst (that i got from atziri) in my off hand i do 34.4k and 45.2k dps with vaal haste+flask. I'm almost there at the 50k dps! I'm still working on getting my lvl 21 Flame Totem gem and better jewels so i should be able achieve it.
Update Dec. 31st:I finally got my lvl 21 Flame totem! I traded a mortal hope that i got from killing atziri for it. It was well worth it. My intown dps is now of 34.1k dps. With flask and vaal haste, 46k dps! With Doryani's Catalyst i have 36.6k intown dps and 49.5k dps with flask and vaal haste! I have finally reached 50k dps, now i just need to reach that without the doryani's catalyst in the offhand. I need a empower lvl 3 for this. I will update pics and the guide tomorrow with the new tooltips.
Update January 1st: I have now sold my soul for a Empower level 3. Intown dps is 37.2k. With flask and Vaal Haste 50k dps. That is without the Doryani's catalyst. This is quite the achievement for a non crit Flame totem build and that 50k dps is 100% chaos dmg! There is still room for improvement by getting better jewels and a empower lvl4.
Update January 3rd: I have tried to color my Infernal Mantle RRGGBB so i could try to replace Added Chaos gem with Faster Projectiles gem. Results were very disappointing with a quality 20% faster projectiles. My DPS intown went down to 34.5k dps from 37,2k(added chaos gem setup). Added Chaos damage gem is still better than Iron Will and Faster Projectiles. I will recolor my infernal mantle to BBBRRG.

You can drop damage or life nodes for armour in the Marauder area with Armour Mastery and even more life from Heart of the Warrior.
T10 Corrupted Temp Chains Necropolis Map, part of it with boss
Didn't want to record the full run for a 10 minutes video :p
I just wanted to show it was possible with this build https://youtu.be/EH8PSD1poNw
My DPS with everything up (Flame totem + Vaal haste + Atziri's Promise)
My Defences
Jewels
Since we are running BM and not reserving any MANA, Clear Mind is a must. For the rest of the jewels you want damage modifiers like Cast speed (it adds a lot of DPS )spell damage, fire/chaos damage, totem damage, projectile damage, Projectile Speed, Life
Now this is obviously linked into the 5L or 6L infernal mantle for the +1 to fire gems.
Controlled Destruction is very good with non crit builds, it’s MORE spell damage multiplier adds up a lot of damage.
Void Manipulation just gives you a 40% more chaos damage and a 10% increased chaos damage for pretty much free. It does reduce elemental damage however this build has none of it after conversion. Now i don’t care what everyone thinks about this gem, it just does work and i didn’t had to make sense out of it.
Added Chaos is pretty much a given and doesn’t need much explanation, this is a chaos build afterall.
The 6th link can be either Empower if you have one leveled or Projectile Speed if you need your projectile to go further + it gives a bit of damage(less than empower). Myself will be using Empower because i use the Winds of Change Gauntlets wich already gives me 30% increased proj speed and 49% projectile damage.
Searing Bond can be used as a third totem with it's recent changes making it a free additionnal totem, it works quite well with this build but i felt like casting a 3rd totem takes too much time and cuts my clear speed. Links would be Searing Bond - Rapid Decay - Inc Burning
Cast when damage taken setup:
CWDT lvl7 + Immortal Call lvl 9 + Molten Shell 13 + Whatever curse if you feel like you need to. Enfeeble is a good and solid option! Self Cast Enduring Cry
I self cast Wither on tanky Monsters that dont melt instantly. Wither will increase the chaos damage they take. It applies a debuff that stacks. Inc Duration will let you stack more of it on bosses and inc AoE will debuff bigger packs of monsters, the AoE by itself is quite small. It is just a matter of preference.
Auras:
For auras i recommend only using one cause it reserves on your life since this build is BM.
I use Arctic Armour to help with defences. Anger is a good option for pure DPS (it does get converted to chaos dmg as well). Blasphemy curses can also be used instead.
Arctic Armour/Anger - Enlighten or Blasphemy - Enfeeble/Temp Chains - Enlighten
Golem:
Flame/Chaos Golem. Make a choice, Flame for more dps and chaos more tankiness.
Flasks I Use:
Atziri’s Promise is optionnal but it provides a few thousands extra dps on use. Don’t need the leech but the damage is awesome.
I plan on using the mf distillate flask when i get one for when i farm.
I'm open to suggestions/adjustments for this build. I will try to format this better as I work on it =)
what did you do for bandit ? like oak for normal or ?
One question in mind how jewel dps increase ?
i see that you mention that increase cast speed increase DPS is it true so if i take totem increase damage and increase cast speed while holding a shield i increase DPS??
