Holy Flame Totem

So, why wand projectile speed does not increase speed of totem projectiles and at the same time Faster Projectiles increase?

Don't see anything there

because it's a spell projectile not a wand attack (projectile)...

Because that's a local increase, not a global increase.

Similar to crit chance, there is local crit chance only increase wand's crit, there is also global crit that increase all skill crits.

Sadly, there are no global projectile speed increase mod, not on wands anyway.

Thats dumb indeed. Too bad. Looks like all i need is spell damage on wands and added damage to spells and thats all...

What a great skill. Too bad it's gonna get nerfed into the ground sometime soon

Oh, did they change that? before 2.0 it used to work. Same with Quill Rain and Flame Totem.

I've browsed through most of the pages and havent seen any one post feedback on weapon mods except for elemental damage which only one person confirmed it to work. What damage modifiers actually work with FT that come from your gear?

% Increased Spell damage
% Elemental damage
Adds x-x Fire damage
% Increased Fire damage
x fire damage leeched as life
Adds x-x Lighting damage (Does this give lighting damage to your FT for shock procs?)


Im aware there are different mods such as "Adds x-x (ele type) damage to spells/weap" Which are pretty self explanatory but the theres a mod which doesnt specify. Does that add to both FT and weap or only weap.

Thanks to anyone who can answer those questions.

Since they removed shotgunning in 2.0 I do wish they'd fix the spread of the projectiles on Flame Totem.

Imo its too strong.
Check this build:
https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1427384
94k dps (with culling strike in 6th link??? ....), with little investment compared to other builds.
The only expensive thing here is empower lvl 4 and 6l.
AND IT'S DUAL TOTEM!

come on, I invested to my caster character over 50 ex and I do 60k dps at best.

and this totem guy wrecks instantly tier 15 map- the most difficult map, with rather cheap gear.

R.I.P !
