GreatOne's Chaos Innoculation(CI) Dual Totem Guide
|
Hey, I wanted to respec into Dual Totem FP from my EB/MOM Witch summoner that I was running. Kinda looked at your tree and adapted it for my needs (and gear that I already had). Do you mind taking a look at my passive tree/gear and making some "optimizations"? Next on my list is getting some nice tri-res boots so I can get better rings.
I've got 4666 life, 4098 mana (1520 unreserved for totems/MOM), 295.5 mana regen per second, lvl 20 artic armour, and running clarity, discipline and vitality for auras. With 7 power charges, I am hitting 2417.9 sheet dps on my totems with lvl 18 gems and 63.4% crit strike chance and just over 501% crit multiplier. My next 2 points are going to finish out Throatseeker and then maybe fill in the aura effect nodes on the far left of the tree by Sovereignty. Also, thought maybe I should grabbing the Heart of Ice node (and the 2 nodes leading up to it next) instead of the aura effect nodes. Passive Tree: Gear:

It's me again, finally respected into your tree, got 6.8k ES (still didn't even take all es nodes) lvl 77. (spent 5ex on gear)
I'm really disappointed... the dmg is alright, it'll be really strong with time, but... that's not my problem with your build. My totems die to elemental dmg so fast, soooo fast, this build feels like a party build more than a solo build. Is there anything I can do? because I seriously consider respecing to something else. ( and I really want to make it work) |

Btw I have one question.
Why not Cold Penetration instead of Increased Critical Damage or Added Lightning Damage . Cuz my calculations shows more dmg with 35% Cold penetration + 10% Cold dmg from quality. Am I missing something? |

" I have 3,560 tooltip freeze pulse with GMP. 3,500 x 5 = 17,800 dps, with 2 totems thats 35,600. That is with 8 power charges. You need to use faster casting as your 5th Link and put in Increased Critical Damage as 6L. Faster Casting is one of the most important gems for freeze pulse. Aside from that, you will see your damage getting better and better as you level/quality your gems and also get crit nodes from the tree. Once upon a time this game was my life.

" If you or anyone else would like help with optimizing or making any builds or anything that doesn't pertain to this guide then please message me on twitch, as it is a lot easier for me to keep track of people that need help. Thanks. Once upon a time this game was my life. Last edited by GreatOnePoE#5701 on Apr 24, 2014, 10:11:27 PM

" Yes unfortunately without a leveled spell totem / proper damage this build is not so great to solo with. I played in parties until my gems leveled up enough for me to tackle maps solo. The biggest drawback with any high crit scaling / totem build is that the real power comes from late game when you have all the crit nodes, enough cast speed and a proper 6L Once upon a time this game was my life.

" Cold penetration is a great alternative at lower levels when you do not have enough crit scaling to make Increased Critical Damage worth it. In my opinion, Added Lightning Damage is too good to drop since you can triple shock stack mobs(90% increased damage taken from all sources) quite easily at higher levels once you have enough Critical Strike Chance. Once upon a time this game was my life.

" Thanks for the info. I really appreciate that. Be true to yourself and you will never fall.

Few questions..
How are your totems staying alive with no totem nodes? Is this build viable for IIR culling with using heartbreaker and 2 andy rings in groups for maps/dom runs? (wihtout dying all over the place) What map content have you done? Videos? Last edited by Dazerk#6649 on Apr 27, 2014, 2:14:51 PM

" I'm playing this build in beyond and based on experience my totems basiccally rely on freezing mobs to stay alive. If stuff isn't perma frozen the totems die in one or two hits, very squishy. But with the amount of crit this build gets you can freeze most things. Btw, updated skill tree for 1.2 if anyone is interested: http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgAACGc7KFfhhQ75ZTQgIcMiJpDWLKam6zdmN4M0ClfJ6roo-g18tAyCx5MnW_T56Bzcf8bBxRGWoqMsvw5IBx7B8w_Ehq5jQ13ylS6VIDt8Fde293DV8NUtH7jKVmMrConTj_pJUUyzHU8RL3BS6_VQMK6zNbnDCdteQZYRUKcruZMRDwVC0PVtGfIdrJgsnNlb99d0VRslhEiboV8qS65ca49G6QLDbR0U34r60maeFkDAGoV9WfMpTyoT7DjkIoKbWis62I5kLKdN2Hy796aj8ox2JIu2-vfBSbIC4welghDfsA== |
