Hamsterbaby's [ 1.0.3 ] Dual Totem Critical / CI Storm Caller With Videos

Doing this build on Nemesis and loving it, level 71 at the moment! Following the Passive Tree with a little tweak to get more immediate ES and make up for some stats but using slightly different links on the Storm Call to boost damage up a lil. Having no problems with 66-69s and it seems promising with my SC only level 16. Chose this build over your Flameblast build because I love being the Storm Herald :) Might try it later but for the moment I'm happy. Needs to balls up now and solo merc Dom :O

Here's my gear:

Cheers for the build!

I'm giving this build a go and enjoying it so far. Level 45 and it's working nicely, but a little slow leveling. Quick question, and sorry if this is silly, but would this work with soul mantle? Is it worth trying to pick up a 5 link soul mantle to get a 3rd totem? Or is the low ES and curses not worth it? Thanks!

can you post up how to add passive for beginners?
20 points passive
40 points passive
60 points passive

would really appreciate it
Thanks for this guide! Im new to POE and started my first character a month ago using this and I'm having fun at lvl57 now.

Assuming that I can't afford the dual curse boots, how would you modify the skill tree to get the dual curse passive? I'm thinking that being able to cast conductivity or crit weakness on top of elemental weakness would be much better than the few crit nodes you'd give up to get there.

Also, I agree with the others - it would be great if you could provide a 20/40/60/etc progression guide for beginners. :)

Hopefully this doesn't double post. I had a long drawn out reply but it didn't go through. Anyways, your build inspired me to play, and I'm currently a mid 20's witch in the middle of Act 2 Normal, self found obviously, and I have a few questions. Prior to CI, I've read it's best to spec life and respec later, so I'm trying to do that, but of the few skill tree's I've seen in here, I'm trying to figure out what the best way to go is. Do I head to CI and the dual totem keystone (I forget the name off the top of my head) and fill in once I'm a step away or so, or do I fill in on the way there and not worry about an exact time I get either of those two? I don't have a ton of time to play so I want to be as efficient as possible so if/when I get to "endgame" I don't have to farm a ton of regrets or currency to buy them just to have a viable skill tree if at all possible. So far I've been saving a lot of passive points so I don't waste them somewhere unnecessary because it looks really good at the moment (i.e. the lightning damage at the beginning on the left side of the witch tree, I've noticed none of the builds take them in this thread, or the crit dmg ones either). Also, do the crit chance nodes affect spells or is it only the nodes that specifically say to spells? My current assumption is that the spell nodes work only for spells but the other's are Global Crit%. I appreciate any help/advice you/anybody can give me!

Thanks so much for the level progression! I wasn't focusing on survivability enough and starting to run into difficulties at level 63. Overall the build has been amazing though. Thanks again!

Anyone given any thought to using Soul Mantle with this for a 3rd totem?

I'm using one.Sometimes it's annoying because of the curses.I think if you have enough es and potions which can remove curses you can get one.My gear is poor and my level is only 62 but I can ran piety carefully.
THink about soul mantle this way also, you get the third totem AND a 5L is the same as a 6L of anything else becuase you get the free spell totem.
was just wondering if you had any intention on adding leveling skill trees would like to know what direction you went early on
Hmmm can someone test this? I've been using reduced duration and it seems to me that I cast way faster. Usually you can only cast 4 ish portals but with reduced duration it seems that you cast and the delay is less so you technically cast more and faster. This would inadvertantly increase your dps. Can anyone confirm this with storm call?
