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

Personal findings so far: (nearing end of act 3 cruel, hitting level 50)

Summon Zombies. The build blatantly starts slow, but with leveled summon zombies freezing pulse/ice spear/lmp-freezing pulse can reasonably level solo to 31 when you get your totem up. This is even with no minion support gems/passive skills, their value at tanking/blocking projectiles/running interference is impressive. I did take the Lord minion passive initially, then respeced out of it when I hit double totems. Even now I find zombies still are a wonderful deal for one blue gem slot.

Conversion trap. Holy..... If you're facing a pack you just can't figure out, you likely aren't using conversion trap aggressively enough. Get them fighting each other, then walk in, drop totems, curse, and follow with fire/bear traps. Fun fact: the totems in pyramid act 2 can be converted. (can't die aura, +80% move/attack speed aura, good times.) Not as effective as it sounds, but seriously funny.

My gear (mainly resists) is awful, but when I die its usually to massed lightning casters/archers or those damn poison pools I wasn't watching close enough for. The playstyle takes a bit of practice, but it is very effective.

Definitely going to regear/ES stack for CI on hitting merciless, mostly as an experiment more than anything else. Looking like I can get Body&Soul while act 1 merciless is still in the easy part, hopefully 2 curse passive as well.

Again, thanks for the guide. Liking the build more and more as it goes on.

For most of these white knighting losers time != money, there are exceptions I'm sure...maybe you value your time like I do.

If so, I would wait a week before sinking 40+ hours of your time into a build that is changing dramatically every other day.

I been avoiding your hateful comments and letting them slide. But you do not start insulting other people in this thread. Keep it positive or I will see to it that you will be removed by the mods.

I'm helping Tien avoid the same mistake I made. That's a positive contribution.

And threatening me on a games forum for pointing out simple facts? Pathetic.

You moved 50+ nodes two days ago, essentially screwing over anyone who committed to your original tree. No warnings, no mentions of experimental build, nada. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with experimentation, it's one of the many things that makes this game fun, but the dozens of people like myself stuck with a sub-par build, and no way to revert...without giving any thought to that on your side? I'm not saying you are liable, but you are certainly irresponsible and disrespectful of the people following your guide.

milestone: 100k views, still a bit short from my old LoL guides. Appreciate the love and support, and always glad to hear good feedback from people who have been loyal to this build

Glory whoring page views at the expense of others player's trust and time is despicable, regardless of what your fan club might say to inflate your ego.

Are you one of those people that buys an iPhone and then gets mad when they release a new version 6 months later?

I was just wondering what kind of top end damage I should be trying to get with my totems. Right now it says they are:

173.1 DPS
82-123 damage
1.42 casts per second
200% spell crit mult
18.9% spell crit chance

I use elemental weakness with frostbite too.

Anyone playing HC with pure CI build? Is it possible? Someone posted a HC build on page 39 without CI, this one:



Can't decide what would be better to go for. Would be nice to hear some input from someone playing HC.

Please keep things on topic and refrain from insulting others.

Depending on how late I'll be working tomorrow and how long I'll work on saturday, a movie showing some map-play, some docks, some "how to" should be up by sunday/monday/tuesday at latest!

Yeah Gregz, makes sense. I remade my first totem witch at level 30 when the build changed drastically (not too much time invested so I didn't care much). I guess I'll just keep doing the CI build for now and maybe when the life build gets fleshed out I'll try that too.

I'm playing a build with dual ice spear totems and fire traps atm. The Focus is heavily on hp nodes, also double perma curses. I find it kinda hard to clear mobs fast when they come from all sides, like in open areas (fellshrine for example). Also my dmg output is damn low. ~95 dps with gmp ice spear, faster cast totem.

that dps number is not an accurate description of the true skill damage.

coming from all sides have to do with your positioning. if u cant position well, throw conversion traps on the side where ur totems are not covering. (p.s. fellshrine is a horrible example because that map is easy, mobs literally crawl in that map and u shouldnt get surrounded)
