How we are supposed to use ice spear if when we got the keystone for the second totem it says i will do no damage my self with skills??
How i will crit to use the gem you recommended if i cant do dmg?

Hey man was wondering how viable this would be for Hardcore? been looking for a decent spell totem build to farm/safely play so I don't constantly RIP at 60 :D

cheers

I'm currently level 61 on nemesis with this build. Just get all life-nodes you pass by when levelling up. I just ran farmed in the crypt (a level 60 zone) a bit just now and it feels very safe.
For now i've been focussing mostly on survival and will now commence taking some offensive nodes. It's kills faily quickly now and should only get better as i level. Great fun!

hi, and thanksfor sharing your build... do you think it's possible to build something like this on a scion?

Hey There, I am not familiar with the Scion Starting tree.
Therefore I cannot comment.

I should think it is possible. However the Witch Starting tree allows me to reach my nodes easier. :)

Any plans on making a skill tree progression section? (30,60,90 points)

I am planning for that yes. Give me a day or so :)

Thanks for your fantastic build .I think this is the build I am looking for.Would you please give us a skill tree progression guild?

Is it a must to get 20% quality skill gems for newbies like me?

I am currently testing this build (or something that comes close). My witch is lv 59 now and i didnt switch to 2 totems yet as that first totem just doesnt do enough dmg. I have had some gear but aint rich, currently 62% + 15% + 48% = 125% spell dmg, 40% crit chance, 6% speed from gear, using a 4 link for the totem with spell totem + faster casting + 12%q storm call + increased area of effect.
You suggest to go dual totems at cruel fellshrine, is that a guess or did you test that? I doubt that it would work out. I had huge dmg problems with only the totem so i leveled the ice spear gem, now its ok, i freeze a lot of mobs so the totem can actually hit them. With only a 4 link and without reduced duration it takes ages till the storm call goes off, gems arent max lv yet ofc, therefore i have less aoe range, less dmg due to low faster casting gem.
I currently have 5 power charges and try to keep them up all the time, its ok when solo, but in groups, when the mobs have some more hp, my storm call dmg is really disapointing.

What works very well is the defense, with all those ES nodes (though i concentrated more on dmg lately) and those zombies + totem its really easy to survive. Though those zombies get 1 shot by every mob with elemental dmg, i consider using shoes or gloves for them and add minion resis gem.


I hope this will get better at higher lvs when i can equip some better gear, for leveling at least its a bit slow.
