Dual Totem Dual Curse EK Witch level 83 6.1k dps ( Video and Guide )
" Actually I think I was hooked up too much on the cast time number on the tooltip. That is the time for casting the totem isn't it? However, it's not like night and day, but the cast speed does make a difference. I just switch depending on my needs now. For easy farming I just use max dps and when I really need max resistances, I'll just use Purity. No big deal. Why did you not use Bear Traps btw? It's not mandatory but with the stuff we skill, the dps of those bad boys really goes wild. I'll admit, though, that I mostly don't use them at all. I play just like you (I assume), planting totems and keep moving - checking for lewtz ^^ |

Tooltip cast time number shows the EK's cast time as far as i know. But, I don't know about summoning totem's speed to be honest. But you can increase it's speed via increase cast speed mods.
For bear traps, well, I didn't considered them much :) I got used to relaxation of watching 2 totems killing things while I was miles away from mobs. So I didn't feel like joining combat rather actively :) Also , it's dex req is quite huge :) |

I have a noob question.
Why do you have EK gem in your shield? Isn't the EK gem in your 5L better because you benefit from the add on gems connected to it? |

" Obviously he has EK in his 5L. But as you can see, the one in his shield has quality. He's leveling the later obtained quality one and uses the non-quality one in the meantime. |

Bump :)

lvl 62 with some minor variations (dual curses saved for last) and still going hot, even with pretty low end gear. nice build! needs good movement, lag spikes can be deadly, but on farm spots its "place totems, curse, collect". maybe in endgame i could amass some magic find but as of now it pretty much destroys the build. thanks for the concept!

Level 39 now, following the build fairly closely so far. Just got double totems up, only have fork attached to my EK totems but it still mows everything down pretty easily, I was soloing my way through lvl44 maps before I noticed it was waaay above my current level. I can see how this is going to scale stupidly hard!

" Voting for "cast, curse and collect" as the new build name. Also have a lvl 62 CCC witch, definitely a lot of fun and quite doable without very good gear. |

I'm farming maps right now. Not sure why your dps is that much higher than mine, but then again I'm not your level yet. (I'm 67)
I'm at about 1600ish dps and just 2.2k hp and I can still farm maps. With that low hp and -60 chaos resist it's not always fun, but you can quite easily place totems and run two screens of distance away :P Mana is also still an issue sometimes (I only have 370ish left, a totem costs me 190 and I have 70mana/s) but it's doable. The only thing I could imagine being even more hilarious would be a dual totem LA build. But I can't figure out how to get this done yet. My idea was to go for crit, but then I also have to go for accuracy. And going crit, crit multi, dmg and accuracy plus still taking care of survivability (preferably a life based build with regeneration, possibly BM) seems sadly impossible. There are no ranged totems build at all as it would seem. So maybe I'll make this work somehow, sometime :P So I think I will stick to this build and see if I can get some more nasty gear. It's getting the job done very fine. |

" I guess you don't have 5l yet. This build shines with it really because we already waste 1 socket slot for spell totem. Also I had a really nice gear :) My wand maybe lack some cast speed but had a huge spell damage as well as the shield. My rings had cast speed and amu had spell damage,crit and cast speed. Even my gloves and belt increases my dps. I don't know why your mana is too low though, I didn't have too much mana, es coming from my gear and I had like 700 active mana. I really don't know why people think Chaos damage is op and needs some resistance though. I mean the only tough mob that deals chaos damage is the poison bombers and they are not that quite hard. I thought of making a Marauder Dual Totem LA and even written a build for it :) https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/204333 Last edited by zekerferc#6511 on Mar 13, 2013, 7:09:06 AM
