Hi :D I'm liking the idea of the build so far, but due to the update there are more totem damage nodes. Would you suggest going pure physical damage for bows or totem damage nodes in the skill tree?

This has sort of been a pet build of mine for about a year or more. I was leveling with it as a Scion on Nemesis up to 72 (just died.)

I had a 5 socket Carcass Jack and Chin Sol and a mostly-complete build.

I've played the build before on Onslaught, Hardcore, and Softcore multiple times. For some reason this time around I found the totems survivability to be absolutely wretched, having to recast my totems way more often than I remember before. I had taken a few months away from the game (before the Scion released) so I'm not sure exactly what was changed but the build just felt way more frail without having the high dps or survivability to compensate for that frailness. The change to Auras seems really painful as well, it's unrealistic to run more than one Aura and still expect to have mana to spam your totems unless you have a 6L with a Blood Magic gem I suppose.

Basically the only upside to running this build right now is for the safety of not having to actually attack yourself which is why it has sort of been my default on the hardcore leagues. I'll probably be trying something different when I reroll, maybe go back to a Ghost Reaver/Vaal Pact LA build or something if that's even still viable (seems most people are staying away from CI now though) so not really sure where to go from here.
