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

So, would you say im better off with a faster cast gem over added lightning damage? I'm already casting pretty fast though thanks to +cast speed on gear. What about added chaos damage?

Edit: also, what do u think of those unique gloves that give 50% more spell damage but reduce cast speed by 20%?

I was messing around with pathing and found I think a more efficient set of routes. Specifically different from standard CI are all three power charges to prep totems, the templar tree for elemental dmg/regen/resists, more pure cold dmg nodes, and WD. The sacrifice is cast speed and some ES nodes.



Thoughts?

Thank you for this guide, I can blow through maps 10 levels + on merciless currently at the end of act 2 solo- thanks to the GMP.

OP, sick guide son. I am basing my third character off your guide. A question: is CI the way to go still? I am looking for ways to improve my survivability.

I have seen a lot of streams of some high levels players saying CI is really good once you get really high level and certain items.

Thank you.

I'm a level 66 Witch that just finished Merciless.

So far I'm EB + Double Totem Freezing Pulse. I have Grace, Determination, Vitality, Anger, Wrath, and Discipline as my auras. I haven't touched Iron Will yet.

My totem consists of Faster Casting and GMP so far dishing out 371.2 DPS each projectile (10 total). Thats before crits and Frostbite.

I'm loving my build. This is my skill tree as of now: http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgMAAP0CcQLjAv4EswelDH0QfxRNFLAVUBbzF1AXVBo4HNwdFCKBJDwmPCaVJ6ksnCynLR8tRy-dNuk6MDrYRKtJUUmyTC1N2FBCVUtVrlZKVytZ81orWm1gbWaebRlte35Zf8aBb4IQgh6DOIw2jHaOPI9Gj6aQVZUEm6GdgJ48ogCio6PypwinXKeErJivm7iTvJ_AGsHzxp7Q0NQZ2t3bC9-E37Djn-w499f60g==

I just wanted to pop up, and say thx for the build, I just reached 40 and got my double totems, and I've been doing good on act 1 cruel so far, with what I think is a crappy gear and only frostbyte and fire traps.

Expect that I'll get a even greater improvement once I get a second curse and a conversion trap.

At first when I finally got myself a totem at 30~ I got scaried with how bad it seemed compared to casting myself, but after you get LMP and Faster Casting its a totally diferent game.

Do we have a more specific stats on gears?

For E.g
Helm (get minion +1 etc..)
Glove (get unique tenure with atleast 45% spell dmg increase etc?)

so what about bandits? go for extra mana only? what about cruel and merciless?
