Likely cast speed since there's no 1 passive (not already planned into the build) that nets you 4 or greater cast speed.

Unless you modified the build to where a node you'd like to take would net you higher value.

Imo,It's also worth noting that chayula lowers your max hp by 20%, so after a point you will likely want to replace aruku tiki(1%on low life) with it until you get some uber rare MF neck.

Since physical damage is getting buffed, it might be worthwile investigating a dual totem/EK/low life/RF MF build. Any interest?

tats wat ive been using for the past few months. But ek is getting nerfed too. Hopefully the phy dmg increase will cancel out the nerf.

I definitelly will check and hope to see some feedback after the nerfs, if this still a viable build :).

Hey,

Just wondering how this build was doing after the patch? I was recently using the Ice Spear duel totem build:

[Strongest Solo Variation: Projectile Madness Spectres] LMP/GMP Ice Spear 2x Totem 2x Curse 3x Traps
http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/61726/page/1

However was having a lot of problems with it around lvl 45-50. With the patch allowing you to reset all your passives I was thinking of switching up to this, however now with the new nerfs around spark and totems how is this build fairing?

Do you think this is still a better option then the Frost Spear build?

It's a nerf to the crit chance which should hurt BUT the damage itself (especially when it does crit) will still be the same. With so many particles I'm not sure how bad it'll hurt. Hopefully one of the guys that has this running well can comment after patch drops.

Also, the ES will make it a little harder to run RF. Though we should be ok especially if using something like springleaf (or rise of the phoenix).

The Elemental adaptation also hurts RF.

So, really it's RF that's the scariest but I'm not anticipating that being unusable.

Other skills that can be used? Summon totems could take advantage of physical damage right? I believe you can attach something like lightening strike and multistrike or faster attacks to the minion totems too. Totem will keep them coming. (wouldn't require respec to test)

Firestorm could be interesting. Not sure if it's effected by GMP but if it is then that'd be sick. Just would need to go up the left side from start through fire damage. Add fire penetration and increased burn damage when not in farm mode. Cloak of Flames would be useful until shavronnes. (would require respec or proper math to test)

The thing I love about spark is its area of effect. It's difficult to sub that out for anything else.

Summons don't take any damage mods outside of gems and minion damage nodes.

Firestorm isn't affected by GMP. Firestorm ignite damage is also ass.

You're better off going FP or EK totems, if you really want a swap. EK has the shiny new rustic sash damage mod while FP still hits like a truck.

GMP Incinerate might also now be better for farming... not sure but will definetly try it today before the patch and see how it does farming docks solo. With Spark I hae no problems. I'm also not worried about the Spark crit % nerd, but about the Fork/Chain nerf I am worried
