Very nice build yet again, DonaldF.

I've played with your triple totem Storm Call Templar before, really nice. :)




Triple SC totem ?. i dnt see on his builds or videos...


I don't think he's actually made a guide for this one actually, but as you can see in his profile he does have a Templar totem character (look at the name :p) as I remember.

(I meant I "played with" as in, I played with Donald in my party, not I played his build)




Ohhhh i see, would like to share my dps on party :PPP

im japanease and my english may be strange too.


detonate dead + spell totem tested?


i think spell totem is good for this build.

pros
ele reflex free -> dont need phoenix and purity fire -> can use other aura, shield/Searing touch
can run boss safer

cons
long totem summoninig motion
more mana cost
sometime totem die before detonate dead
no leech

I'd like to get your opinion on this.

japanease version

detonate dead + spell totemは、試してみましたでしょうか?

pros
・反射ダメージはトーテムが受ける→MAX火レジUPが不要→より強い盾やSearing Touchという選択肢が出てくる。
・1回トーテムを出せば何度も詠唱してくれる→1発で倒せるように火力を高める必要が無い?→(パッシブスキルのダメージUPを減らして、防御系に振るという選択肢が出てくる?)
・ボスで物陰に隠れてトーテムを召喚したりと、より安全な戦法がとれる。

cons
・トーテム召喚のモーションが長くて危険
・マナコストがさらに増える。
・召喚する分、攻撃開始がより遅くなる。
・トーテムがDetonate deadを使う前に死ぬことがある。
・life leechできない。

よろしければ、ぜひ意見を聞かせて下さい。

Is denotate dead spell in the sense that does increased spell damage increases the damage?
that modifier is usually found on scepters as well.

I suppose it wont help with the burn damage though.
Hey man!
first of all thx for sharing your build.
I'm trying it out at the moment. Can you maybe give some advice what's the best progression to go in the passive skill tree?

Kind Regards bLacky

Detonate Dead has the Cast keyword instead of Spell, thus spell damage modifiers do not work with it.
Wonderful build! I have a question about burning damage. I see u also take some fire damage nodes, how does those affect burning damage? Is the 60%fire damage has the same addition with 60%burning damage? If not, which way is more efficiency (assume I just add one type)? Thx
@sftruze
I think spell totem + Detonate Dead is not very good.
Becauase 50%less damage and hard to aim proper target.
Also Desecrate gem has cooldown. So, probably sometimes corpse will be not enough.

Elemental reflect is not very big problem.
Currently I only died once from reflect.
I forgot ele ref mod and detonated shrine piety.
So "just be careful" is enough imo.

日本語

スペルトーテムは微妙だと思われます。

ダメージペナルティがデカすぎるのと攻撃が遅れることのデメリットが大きいので・・・
ダメージが足りないと死体の供給が不足する可能性があるし、
Detonate Deadは射程がクソ長いからボス戦でも逃げ撃ちで特に問題ないです。

エレリフマップもボスさえ爆破しなければ高いレジストとAAでリフレクトは無効化できるので。
まぁ、-max resiや50% regeneが同時に付くと厄介ですけどね。



@bLacky9
You are welcome.
In my case, I took Thick skin and circle life first and after I took fire damage and burning damage nodes.
You should use 2H Spectral throw for leveling around 65+.

Around Level 70 tree will be like this 91points tree


@binoculars
Fire damage effects for both Detonate Dead damage and Burning damage.
Fire damage and Elemental damage is the most important for damage.

seems very nice
gonna try this on the upcoming challenging league
hope it wont be nerfed so harshly :$
Hey Donald, nice build; I played your Danmaku build for a long time (before the CoC change).

Why did you choose not to level up detonate dead? Is it just because of mana cost?
awesome build! was wondering what gems to use for 5 link instead of 6 link. So what gem would be least important in your 6 link
