Correct, your life becomes 1/1.

The benefit of CI is complete immunity to chaos damage. The downside is virtually no life. Simply put, you are trading all your life for chaos immunity.

hmm...only for preventing chaos damage...
Honestly, I have no idea how much chaos damage is gonna hurt me yet since I'm still playing act 1.
Does chaos damage hurt me so hard that I have to take CI?

As of OB, there are now mods on gear as well as passive skills that will add to your chaos resistance. With these in place, if you manage your resistances well enough, chaos damage shouldn't be any more of a threat than any other damage.

Keep in mind though, all resistance mods DO NOT affect chaos damage. Chaos is different from the other 3 (fire, cold, lightning).
According to the "leveling guide" I should be picking up Ancestral Bond at 40ish.
Am I certain to have acquired the Spell Totem by this time?
I'm not sure what level you are at the end of Cruel.

Also, do I need two gems to place two totems, or just double-cast the spell?

Finally, you mention Elemental Weakness, and it's listed on the official website, but I can't find it in the quest reward spreadsheet anywhere.
When do I pick that one up, or is it purely drop-only?
In close beta these gems are very easy to get. Keep in mind this is a new world where nobody has anything
IGN: hyperculler (torment)
Is this still viable? It looks like there was a change to the second totem node?

Why would 2nd totem be better than yourself casting that spell?


I'd say the main reason would be if you go for increased critical damage there's a good chance you'll one-shot yourself if you hit an elemental reflect mob.

Doing all the damage through totems allows you to go crazy with your crit damage without worrying about reflect.
I'm level 30 and still don't have a totem. How do totems work? Is there a specific Ice Spear Totem I need to get? I already have the Ice Spear gem.
What would be most viable for a HC solo run / try? Witch or Templar?
