[1.3.0] [BL/TM] BM Flame Totem solo Magic Find/group culler. (78+Maps solo/Dominus)

I'm only level 77 right now.

First I tried the low-life flame totem MF, but it didn't work out... At day 2, I gathered up all currency i made to buy 50 regrets and totally respec the build, because I just don't like making new character and leveling it back to like 70. I'm just kinda too lazy for that.

So this Witch variant was not intended. I was just too lazy to level another character as a Maurader back to lvl 70, so I just respecced my witch. I just made the tree on my own in like 1 hour or so, No min-maxing. I'm not even sure if my witch variant is as good as expjah's build. You guys make comparison, w/e. The comparison is at the very bottom, with same 102 points used.

Most importantly, I lose 15% HP, 46 max life, lose 10% all res. But gain 80% more spell+ele dmg, 20% more fire dmg, 6% cast speed(lol).

I would definitely say the witch variant is more softcore-oriented build.

-----------------

Played for 3 days in rampage league, character is lvl 77.
Gear is 15 chaos worth in total, including forsaken master's crafting fee.
4000 HP, 288% IIR (stormsail swap + culling rarity flame totem), 0 IIQ,
1380 dps with 4 link(GMP-FasterC-FT-Firepen) flame totem.
Oh yeah i'm missing 150 HP from Oak. I picked kill all because I was doing that low-life MF. I need to get that 20 regrets but honestly as a soft(scrub)core player, I don't care about that 150 hp that much, not in this stage of the game.

This is my current level 77 skill tree and my (exactly 15chaos worth LOL) gear, exactly same skill tree and exactly same gear, as I imported by character's data to poebuilder.com
https://poebuilder.com/builds/flametotemmf-flame-totem-mf

There are some min-maxing to do. I just don't have more regrets to re-spec now... FML.
Note that poebuilder doesn't apply forsaken masters' crafting. I have 4000 HP, instead of 3700-ish shown in the poebuilder.

My final witch tree is below.


Compare the builds, if any of you guys are curious. My witch is more suitable for softcore plays.

Although I leveled 1~66 as pre-low-life flame totemer, the build was pretty much the same. Since it's all about 1. Picking HP nodes and 2. Picking totem nodes.

So in that sense...

1. Leveling is a breeze with Searing bond. Even though the 2~3 times nerf of searing bond, It's still op as fck. With 16 points respec u get from the quest, consider speccing into holyFire node and just respeccing out. It only takes like what, 6points? 7points of respeccing.


As a first character in the league, this build is pure gold.

You don't need to worry about that socket colors and links in the early stage of the game.
Holy shit u got a melee splash as a dual striker but your 2-link blue chest from level 30 doesn't have that 3 link? You use like 5 jews and still only get that 2 socket... oh shit, you ran out of jews because it's ur first character and you don't have nothiing in your stash!

nono...For this build, just vendor recipe 1 sceptre, put searing bond - increased burning damage - faster casting from lvl1 ~ lvl 60 a3m. At least that's what I did. EZPZ leveling. Enough said.

2. MF-ing is FUN. Looking that rares and uniques (altho all I'm getting is like voidhome rubbish shits) is so fun :) I've been doing dom run for 7 hours today. And I was just having fun. Now I understand why some crazy players like Mano does 4 client multi Mfing. lol.

3. Doing MF is fun, but doing maps as Mf is fun.
Look at the build. By going BM, you are immune to map mods like * Half regen, No regen (kinda sketchy though), Blood magic *. Which are the 3 most map mods that most builds are sketchy to run, or can't run. (especially most EB-MOM builds)

Temp chain sucks, but Temp chain sucks for all builds. With this build, it's just running slower. Well get that adrenaline quicksilver then.

Although I've only run 70 maps as rare, it's still really fun. Especially when you are running 80+ quantity maps with 234% IIR (without rarity culling totem), ... dam rare drops :)
