Dual Fire Totem (MF Viable and Endgame Viable)

I have been playing this build for a few days. Loving it so far, except for when it comes to ranged mobs. The enemy AI seems to immediately want to target your totems and once you start going 2-totem, you have little to work with if they die.

Currently I have been leveling Animate Guardian as well, and let him be a basic meatshield to draw attention away from my totems. I've also been using Animate Weapon a bit, but the DEX requirement kind of keeps me from leveling it up too much early on.

Hopefully by the time I get some DEX nodes I can work with it more.
Colby, I'm new at PoE and I'm trying this build, but at early game I don't know what skills I should use to level up fast and easy. I don't know all the game stuff so I need you help.
Colby your skill tree you linked is outdated; its blank all over the place. Please please fix it right away. I want to level up. Or can someone here please give me a proper passive tree and explanation on how to lvl this build up?
Try it this way, works fine ;P

i really need a build to start in the new league

Organize what?

Here's the build.

Go down the bottom left branch of the tree first, ignoring Ancestral Bond until you have Searing Bond. You should also be at least level 24 by the time you get Ancestral Bond.

Then, grab Holy Fire, Holy Strength, and Immolation. If you have mana problems, grab Deep Wisdom. If you have life problems, grab Purity of Flesh.

Then, grab Sentinel and Totemic Zeal. If you have life problems, grab the life nodes.

Your equipment doesn't matter much early on, but you'll want to aim for:

- a Searing Touch or any one-handed weapon that has +1-2 to Fire Gems
- an Infernal Mantle or Cloak of Fire
- and tri-res, life, and mana regen helmet, gloves, boots, shield, rings, and amulet.

If you get a Cloak of Fire, also get Berek's Respite. Cloak of Fire gives you a 10% chance to ignite an enemy. Berek's Respite ignites a nearby enemy when you kill an ignited enemy. That should mean that when you ignite an enemy, you have a 100% chance to ignite a nearby enemy. In Ambush, Dream Fragments is necessary for certain chests that freeze you when activated.

I just hit 38 in Ambush. My Level 5(+1) Searing Bond with a Level 3(+1) Increased Burning Damage does 1.2K DPS. Normal Dominus was a cinch.
The elements are my allies.
The dead are my servants.
And fear...will be my closest friend.

Im very lost and not sure what to do, this Thread doesnt seem to have much direction. I want to make a Dual Flame Totem, but all we have on here is a build for searing bond. I dont understand if your supposed to go crit/CI for flame totem as It doesnt make sense to me. If anyone has a build for flame totem, please help me out. The thread is very confusing and not very helpful.

My Goal is to make a MF Dual Flame Totem build, using a near perfect Searing Touch as my weapon.

Which way should I go first in the tree?

And what about the bandits?
The tree is gone now cause of the reset. Would you map out on poe builder maybe? https://poebuilder.com/
Here is the level 80+ flame totem build I went with post 1.2. I may have to refund some points to grab some health nodes because I feel a bit squishy when reaching some ranged bosses on 72+ maps.




I took Eldritch Battery and I'm I finding that with 2 auras and a 5L totem setup, I still may have overkill in the mana pool/regen department. They really reduced the cost of the spells/support linked to my totem. However, when I spec out of EB, I struggle to spam totems while maintaining Clarity and Purity of Elements Auras.






Do you use flame totem AND searing bond? Sorry for the noob question, but what skill gems should I be going with. The video guide was all over the place and explained very little.
