[Strongest Solo Variation: Projectile Madness Spectres] LMP/GMP Ice Spear 2x Totem 2x Curse 3x Traps

Oh, yeah, our damage is garbage. We offer a lot of safety to the party in the form of elemental proliferation freezing. Most of our damage contribution comes from double curse. If you're grouped with LA rangers proj weakness + ele weakness or conductivity + ele weakness (depending on tileset, outdoors proj weakness, indoors conductivity) is a big party damage boost.

Of course the more geared out your party is, the less they need the safety of your freeze, and the faster they kill packs (it takes you a little while to get totems and curses all down), so you can start to feel useless when your group is out-gearing the map you're doing. Get in a higher level map and you start to feel useful again as stuff is more of a threat, and your freezing everything makes people happy.

Would this build do more damage than a dual spark totem or dual spark will do more damage on average?

Also, it is kind of confusing though, the main post on this page boasts really high dps...

Currently soloing 71-75 maps, this is my build I will switch to at lvl 77, currently being lvl 74

something like that, maybe.

Once I'm level 78 and switch to the first version, I'm probably going to also drop skeletons in favor of zombies and using q20% freezing pulse totems.

you could also get the shield resist nodes earlier, I probably will so I can go iir build for higher maps.

Lvl 80 currently doing maps solo and in groups. The spectre variation is pretty neat..comes with one big BUT... Sometimes the flame sentinels get stuck and keeping them alive is a PAIN IN THE..... even with stopping to rejuv / vitality them and constantly potting. It makes you "creep" along a map slower than if you didn't have to worry about them and just staggered totem after totem with double curse.

Gotta find a way to run fast enough away when i accidentally run into a pack that would one-shot the sentinels, cause getting them in the first place is also a little pain.

Also...need to run on a decent computer or else your frame rate is going to take a hit...oh and your party will not like them either cause of this.

I don't have any problem with our damage at this point...so far.

Keeping dying pre40, but realy want to try this out! For sure someoen have asked this before, but not gonna read whole thread.
So how should i progress on passive tree? Just rush for double totem ?

Want to se the skill tree.

I've been using this build to great success in maps (level 77 atm), but I too feel like the damage is a little sub-par and have been wondering if there are any ways to make it a little better? While the utility in being able to freeze stuff is unmatched, I have quite a bit of trouble with any added HP monsters due to how slow the DPS is. I run with a GS marauder in maps, so as it is we can be quite hurting for DPS depending on the monster types and affix.

Should I just look to get better gear, are other variations of double totem better?

I also switched from dual ice spear to spork totems yesterday. The killspeed is a lot higher. I can't wait to see what the damage is after I lvled all my gems to max.
