[Strongest Solo Variation: Projectile Madness Spectres] LMP/GMP Ice Spear 2x Totem 2x Curse 3x Traps
|
Totem cast time achieved - 0.67sec.
When i finally decided to get the second totem i get seriously dissapointed(lvl 47) Before that i was thrilled to play each mob encounter due to my 490life 390es. Yes i had big weakness - archers/ranged mobs. I was getting two shotted if i was standing in one place. I put a lot of skillpoints in faster casting so i was able to easily destroy difficult mobs. Was able to solo cruel 2 bandits(oak and alira) and vaal was a peace of cake also... Okay so you just image how much different playstyle is after getting two totems - its vast! Its like turn-based strategy.. or its like being babysitted by 2totems, you name it. You cant sprint in forward without casting totems constantly because you are not a tank. You have to summon at least one totem in front of you.. and you can cast only 1totem at the time. And those traps while do BIG damage, they were just not my style. Okay enough bashing(havent told all things i disliked but..) Pros: very enjoyable clearing vaal ruins, or in other ruins with tight places against very dangerous mobs summoning totems in their faces and freezing them to death..(not boring!) enjoyable when killing vaal and other bosses! Cons: Boring to cast in front of you, then in defence running back and recasting.. eliminating single annoying mobs no pot/barrel bashing flicker strikers will kill you if you are not careful! I dislike rarity so much im almost quitting poe2. GGG. Last edited by webas#6820 on Feb 4, 2013, 3:08:25 PM

One thing that's confusing me, why are so many people using 4L chests, isn't having a 5L chest really important for the spell totems?

" I dig this build but you forgot CI I'm assuming |

I'm sure it's mentioned here somewhere but after I get CI what flasks would you recommend? Resist and mana?

Hey, you mention on your form that you do not level up your trap gems but when you scroll down to Traps you also stated that bear trap DMG inceases per upgrade level. Do we level trap gems or not?

"I'm finishing act 3 Merciless now, leveled all of Merciless CI. Strongly recommend at least one quicksilver. A granite can be handy as well, especially with speed boost or resist (if needed). Currently 2 quicksilver, 1 that breaks freeze/chill (must have, Merviel will freezelock you to do death with low health otherwise), 1 that buff resists to cap. Running 3 mana, hoping to drop to two. One curse removal/prevent, one remove burn, forget the other. "He suggested not leveling curses and linking to increased aoe support, and is checking what's best for mana-efficiency/effectiveness. (I run unlinked max-level curses currently, works solidly). If you want bear/fire traps to do decent burst damage (I do), you have to level them. Conversion trap increases duration a lot, and conversion trap isn't expensive really. |

would it be worth to put a life leach support on my totem/icespears and got the Ghost reaver node. would that be viable? im currently sitting at 1220 es with no buffs and i still get one shot in mercilus. wondering if it would be worth it to boost my survivability.

nova still breaks pots even with 0 damage

" please research the spell totem mechanics thread :D I can answer you right now but i feel it would be to your benefit to discover the answer on your own! You will learn more too. IGN: hyperculler (torment)
