No armor support gems for totems ?

Hi.

Based on the discussion we had here http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/462267/page/2 , i though something who gives a spell totem armor would be nice.

Is there anything that can imporove totem survability besied of these ? : Totem and minion ele res gem, life node totem, leveled totem..

Only three things ?

If only to enable Molten Shell totems.

Giving totem builds a buff via gems sounds like the absolute worst possible thing atm.

they could always remove the duration passive in the center of the tree and modify it to something else to help survivability....? maybe lol

that or some crazy keystone that makes the duration of a totem 1.5-2 secs long (max), totems are immune to damage and cost 300% more to cast...?

edit: okay that last idea is "too" insane.. but considering GR and ZO etc... there are some pretty ridiculous keystones out there lol

ohh guys
The dual spark totem build is already OP and you still want to buff it !?

Totems are actually pretty tanky especially with 20%Q. They can even take a few boss hits and if you are a pure totem build, you can have 2 or 3 totems and constantly spam them.

I agree with SL4Y3R, totem builds already faceroll the game, there is no need to buff them further.

imo only, certain totem builds faceroll the game... not "all" of them. Many of them are "just right" and wouldn't overly benefit or suffer from a change in survivability (except the caster might an easier time managing mana/life).

Josephoenix idea is gold.. Put a drawback like diminishing totem duration but allow it to have huge armor/life.

Obesides of Molten shell, how would this be good for other builds ?? Hmm i don't see any, ok ok it's not gold but it's a starting idea, i like it.

the drawback will prevent totem builds from the benefits an armor node( gem ? ) would give.


edit : Shockwave totem could be used against big bosses, as an example! Thx for the idea jose..
