Incinerate | 2 totems | CI | 2 curses | Awesome DPS with low gear requirement

Hi, i'm following this build on my alt. Have to admit this is like the second o third caster i play ever, so i need a bit of advise gear wise.

Should i focus on trying to find a Armor/ES Gear? or pure ES?
What lvl/Who much ES should i have before going to CI?

Thanks for this awesome guide and all the advises I've read in this thread.

Just wow...

I have tried this build, seriously great!

Started as fp witch until Cruel, rushed to Ledge and leveled once more there so I could make my transition to Dual totems (I already had a Spelltotem and all the other skills (bought myself a 14q Incinerate, works wonders).

It takes a little to get used to though, you can only place totems and ress minions (at least I do) and hope nothing gets through. I felt rather useless and weak sometimes.

Other then that, really great build, Cruel is a lot easier then what I remembered it to be :p
Have to keep myself from screaming out BARBEQUE-TIME every time I place my totems!

And the best part is, I still have zero gear...

is my best part...

For sniping necromancers and stuff I even have set up. Waiting for waay better items to drop still.

Few questions though:
-How do you people get rid of mana regen problems? I still need to rely on Clarity but it is taking so much of my mana, I barely have enough left for Discipline...

-I'm using minions as an extra shield buffer, linked to minion life. But they rarely get hit anyway now, so could minion damage add more for me? Or is that added amount simply too little?

-Im also leveling a GMP, any idea on what level GMP starts to do more dmg then LMP? It is still only level 4 right now...

Thanks a lot guys!

Which bandit rewards did you take for this build?

as we are CI, on normal it's for sure killing all bandits.
We have no use of any types of charges, so on merciless it's killing all bandits too.

But on cruel i think we help Alira for +4% cast speed, or kill all bandits again for 1 skillpoint.

Using this build and lovin' it. Got a few questions about gear and damage.


build so far at lvl 69

Here's current gear.













Runnin' CI with this build. I have 3500 ES with discipline and have a few questions.

What upgrades should i look for as far as gear is concerned?
Incinerate damage is only 294 dps, how can I increase it?
Do i need more ES?
Is a 5L neccessary?
Not using traps and the like, do i need to use any for utility? (I party a lot to level faster, so i'm asking if traps would become vital if I ever solo maps).

OK I'll try again.

I am using incinerate since the damage stages went to 100% from 80 last week, also the mana cost was reduced I saw in 11.0X patch notes...

It is working GREAT! I managed to solo merciless vaal at the end of act 2 FIRST TIME! Even my GS mara nd cleaver duellist couldn't solo vaal without several portals and deaths lol.

With fire traps and the wep below - stuff just MELTS!!! I can whole heartedly say that I play all classes and have tried most builds and this dbl totem / dbl curse incinerate with fire traps and i also use 4 zombies - with life gems and multi strike and Minion Instability (fire dmg on death passive) and IT ROCKS!

The kill speed is insane!



Apologies but I've nbever linked stuff before but wanted to share this amazingly fast killing, safe build with you fellow players.

I was ice spears before i re talented with regrets and passive re specs from quests and biy I'm so glad I did. happy to try to answer any questions if I can.

Edit, I am now farming the docks merciless at level 62 without any deaths (unless silly mistakes or de sync sometimes). Just fire traps and 4 zombies with life and multi strike gems and 2 totems are enough to melt so fast for safe clearing. I will go CI and Zealots before long, just want a few more talent points to max shield over 2500 first.

this is such an old build. I haven't updated it in forever, I'll update it soon.

Please do Mario - there is lots of chat in global about the kill speed and relative safety of this build, and I know there are very few guides as it's only since the damage buff to 100% per stage, combined with the reduced mana costs, that this build is now rocking.

Lots of players will try this after the last buffs to it - and I can testify it's amazing.

I just went Zealots and CI last night at 62, and still no problems thus far, I'm gaining a level in under 40 minutes of play time at docks merciless (lvl 63 mobs) and after failing hard in act 3 cruel (General etc) with most of my other classes, I'm loving this build and at least feel any deaths are my own mistakes, excepting the odd de sync ofc : - )

Look forwards to more contributions and sharing best practice from the flame-throwing community!!
