That's not entirely true. Not all projectiles are blocked, but some are. I don't remember what projectiles exactly can't pass, since I don't use Frost Wall most of the time. I should probably switch it out of my gear, now that you remind me of it :P

I also don't use Zombies nor Skeletons. It's a good idea though. Especially Zombies, because they require no real effort. Might try that out.

Simply repositioning totems works for me most of the time. Besides from Voidbearers, who really piss me off sometimes, nothing gives me too much trouble.

I have been messing around with this build a lot.. so for iam only lvl 40 and i have no issuse at all.. aslo my items are bad.. im still useing lvl 10 blue wands with 10 spell power each... yea my items are that bad..

On top of that the only skill im useing is incerate+ spell totem+ LMP thats it no zombies or curses and im still doing fine.. im mostly gimpimg my self like this to test out the builds killing power while every thing is at an all time low..and im shocked at how well this is working out..


The only thing bugging me is that now that i have fallen in love with this build is that im not sure how well it will do in harder maps.Are any of you running maps with this set up? If so how is it working out for you??


Aslo iam still very new to POE so im not sure how hard end game maps are.. so befor i go all in and make this build as my new main id love to know if this will be able to handle maps. Keeping in mind you have the right links and half way good items.

any dual totem build is op in maps(solo). mix in some minions/frost walls for more opness.

Lvl 76. I love this build. I've been plowing through 66, 67, 68 and 69 maps with ease...for the most part. I've got a 77 FP witch and a 79 LA ranger and I'm owning more than either of those two.

I have a few annoying mob types that I hate seeing. Cold casters and Necro's. Not that they kill me or anything but just that it can take awhile...Range mobs in general annoy me as it forces me to resummon a totem or two in a fight as they shoot over my walls.

-Ice Skeletons- I'll use Temperal Chains and Flammability.
-Necro-I used to be able to just put the totems next to the necro immediately and this still works on normal Necro's but Magic and Rare...are a pain in my backside. So I started using summon zombies and spam to get rid of the dead he can raise and then kill the necro.

I have 20% Incinerate and am still using LMP over GMP because the LMP is also 20%. My tooltip DPS on Incinerate is around 700-800ish (stage 1) self buffed with Haste and I'm not sure what it is in the following stages. I use Flamability/Elemental Weakness for most mobs. Casters, Flicker strike mobs, rock mobs that roll around I'll use temp chains/flamability. Bosses, I start with temp chains and enfeeble but usually drop enfeeble if I'm not worried about being hit or having my totems die to quickly.

The best thing I like about this build is survivability. My ES is 5500. My resists are max. Immune to chaos damage. I'm completely mobile with frost wall while my totems beat down the mobs.

Thanks for sharing your experience.

I can see, that Necros are annoying. They always are with a build that relies on AI to do the targeting. Temporal Chains and constant repositioning of your totems should get the job done. That's true for me at least.

Nice gear, sure beats mine. The only thing I'm almost shocked about, are your boots. I tend to get angry for people spamming boots in trade chat without MS. Because I really think no MS is a no-go. But if you don't care about that, well, maybe it's just me ^^

I'm actually having a hard time to settle with lower than 30MS. No would be way too painful ^^

Yes, My boots are my #1 priority to upgrade. My gear is really lacking outside of a few items. I do need better boots with MS. I do need better gloves but need the dex. I want a better belt but need the cold resist. I need to upgrade rings but lower priority.

My only concern, which the OP eluded to is group play.

I think Spark, EK, or even Ice Spear are better for groups. Granted, against elites or boss mobs, Incinerate might be hard to beat do to the insane ramp up on damage. I can't wait to improve my gear further to see how far I can go. Once I get a few more levels I can start increasing my MF as I'll be less dependent on resists from gear.

Lots of people abandon groups I join after a while. Simply because it's causing a lot of lag. And, you know, some people can't see where to click, since everything is covered in blue flames ^^

That's the price one has to pay for this build.

I don't have that problem on my dual EK totems witch for sure.

Is Concentrated effect good for incinerate totems? If so, Rime Gaze helm is prolly BiS for head slot item, right?

Nope, incinerate is not an AoE spell unfortunately.
