Also, I think I said earlier in the thread that Herald of Ice may not be viable/not be needed. But I'm using it now - I still have 4k life after reservation, and it adds a couple of hundred DPS. I have 2k DPS with a 5 link (fire pen, so would be fine in a 4 link) and level 18 totems. That's probably enough to do Dominus runs, but I'm too scared at the moment.
I use Herald of Thunder only, does more damage then ice, tho if you can run both why not, ive been wondering tho if the HoT gets the killing blow if it kills the raritygem from flame totem.

could you show your current gear if possible ? not the one from invasion :D
I've been using this build for like three weeks now. Level 71 but with a lot of struggle.
I don't know where to start, but my totems are way too weak. Their health is a joke and trash mobs destroy them pretty quickly when they get close in numbers.
I've been following the tree and made the last modifications, but still my sheet DPS is 1.2k. I can't even farm Dominus without dying like 3 or 4 times. I'm running all heralds (thunder, ash and ice) with 881 hp reserved and 2k unreserved.
As far as MF goes, I don't have enough currency to buy andvarius, but I'm at 322 with IIR gem and 269 without. My armor is a joke, mere 3k... I don't have a clue what to change to boost my DPS and survivability.
I have a 5l chest piece with FT>Add Chaos>GMP>Faster Proj>Add Fire, but still the 1.2k.
Can someone help me here? Here's my gear:
And flasks:

First of all, ur gems are not even at lvl 20/20, thats already a huge DPS loss. The DPS posted by the OP are asumming u have those, so ye.
Second, ur Flame Totem gem lacks 20% Quality - that's 60% EXTRA HP ur missing out on, which would've boosted their survivability by tons.
Third, your Armour values on your gear is WAY below that of the OP's. You can easily get 5L 1k+ Amour chests quite cheaply and also 1k+ Shield for when u need to tank, so get those as priority.
Fourth, Sheet DPS doesnt take into account the amount of projectiles, so 1.2k is actually 1.2k x 5 projectiles x 2 totems = 12k DPS. That is respectible for a non-crit build and doable up to lvl 77 maps.
Anyway I think those are the problems after seeing ur post, hope this helps :)

You forgot about the reserving three heralds on his HP part.

Yeah, sure it helps a lot.
I didn't have this considerations in mind, especially the quality of the gems. Only one of them I could raise to 4%, I think, and that's mainly because finding good items to make currency has been quite difficult for me, because since the start of the torment I haven't been able to play the amount of time I planned.
I'll also check better body armor, cause this one I got early in the league and thought it would be fine.
As heralds go, I took out the herald of thunder and am running ice + ash with only 500 life reserved. Right now my life pool is 2.4k, which makes me survive a little bit. I've been dying a lot to strongboxes, just because of lag and performance issues and tht's what made me think my armor sucks bigtime...
Even though we take blood magic, is it worth using just 1 herald? Ice or Lightning?
erm...also it looks like you have a flame totem attached to a 4L as well as a 6L. am I missing something, or are you just trying to level up 2 flame totem gems?
