[Updated 4-30-13] Avicularia's 43k DPS Dbl EK TOTEM AND Dbl FP Totem ‡‡GOD BUILD‡‡ (Guide/Video's)

Trying out a new side of the build, pure defense / MF. Dropped my dps to 6k, going to see if the difference is too noticeable. Something interesting I am noticing with the pure ES build, is that totems do not share ES benefits as hp. Therefore, my totem hp went from 5k to 700 since it seems to scale off of hp. Also, I am having major mana issues trying to keep totems alive atm.

Yeah, I'm not sure how CI folks use double totem builds. My totems die instantly due to their HP only scaling off of my own HP pool.

So, I'm not sure what my plan is, maybe speccing out of dual totem to make this work... or, scratching the shavronne's build all together. IDK.

So what skill tree is advisable at the moment? I'm gonna hit level 31 any day now. I see you making changes so not sure what skills I should be changing, if any.

Basically I am just toying with the endgame build, the leveling build is pretty much standard. Get EB, Get Double Totems. That should be somewhat attainable by lvl 31 or shortly thereafter. Here is a 60 point skill tree for you to get started with ^.^

Here is the core build



And here is the fillers



That should hold you over for a while :)

Where can u find those numbers of the HP totem pool?

I haven't been able to find anything that says it. However, it is well known that the totem is essentially a "snapshot" of your stats when you cast it. It just doesn't say which stats.

I have just noticed, that since switching to ES instead of HP, my totems seem like act 1 normal skeletons. Literally no survivability. Also, it seems that with 3k hp and 21k dps, I had way more survivability than 7k ES, 6k DPS. So, here are my options >


Go back to 4k HP, lose my low-life bonuses ( 30% Spell Damage, 100% increased rarity ), back up to 15k+ dps, high mana pool, lose 2 aura's ( Purity and discipline ), respec into crit so that my totems perma freeze stuff.

So basically, the only good thing about my build right now, is 100% iir. That's it. So, going back, I would still be at 279% iir, 115% iiq. rather than 379% iir, 115% iiq.

Probably going to go ahead and do that, until they allow totems to leech / use ES.

hi!

noob here, pls be kind :)

I'm 35 witch now and didn't find any totem gem.

I've been reading that you can only find totem on curse difficulty and you can only choose difficulty after finishing act3. so first path is useless for new characters or I am missing something?

which quest do you recommend me to get totem gem as soon as possible?

The Totem gem is aquired when you get to the end of act 1 Cruel, or you can trade for it. May get a drop early but it's rare. Lvl req on the gem is 31, so if you can trade for it, you can use it.

I would just buy the spell totem. I wouldn't pay over 1 chaos though.

actually totems have their own HP and def.I saw this on forum somewhere and its said by GGG staff. :D
