gem lvl: 19 my dps with each totem is 7.1k
lvling 6 so I can get it to lvl 21 (RNG RNG RNG PLX)

I'll buy a new computer and remake the guide and make some videos.

I can already do lvl 76 maps, and farming lunaris is the easiest shit ever, summon a totem and keep running-EVERYTHING is dead.

seriously, unlike flame totem I always get both totems to hit the mobs so I always get 14.2k dps and still using traps.
Totally viable!

Nice - whats your Clearspeed like with this on 76's ? it seems pretty safe.

Have you considered running a Carcass Jack?

Maybe another wand in the offhand instead of a shield with cast speed? Or Daresso's Courage ?

And what about Alberon's Warpath?

I'd do a skill tree something like this, for maxmium str and dmg. It only has 224% max life @ level 90, but you have 400 str naked. So you will have quite a large health pool once you put on your +str gear.

Clear speed is very good, but not insane like most tier one builds like DD/arc/LL st.
You didn't take Faith and steel... very strong node, I'm hybrid-getting both armour and es.
I dont get %evasion at all, so it seems like a waste to get a carcass, I get quite a lot of armour from my chest actually.
Mana is a bitch, and I lack res, but after I solve both problems I'll do the same as you did, pick the other dmg nodes, and then all the way life or es (or both)
I have 38% increased aoe after conc effect. with over 100% cast speed and right positioning I can trap the enemies long enough and when they get out simply recast the totems in 1milli sec.
I can't tell you which tree and ideas are better, it's a matter of preference. I only know that I valued survivability way more than you should since the char was made in invasion.

There is another swt guide on the forums, he got to top 50 twice in the 1m hc race, he starts from a witch and picks IR and EB, that way sustaining mana is much easier and the evasion isn't wasted. (he uses both carcass and the trap unique shield for a nice bonus to physical dmg) he's not using iAoE but culling strike instead (+dmg and cast speed), seems very solid.
Talked to him today, I still prefer my version but I'm going to change it a bit based on what I learned from him!
May the gods of RNG,Desync and screen freeze be with us, slowly but steadily we'll make SWT better and better xD

Hi dude, mind linking to that other thread?

I couldn't catch the name when RaizQT mentioned it.

And I meant he's not using conc effect, he IS using iAoE, his main goal is to stack as much aoe as possible

I really like the max increased radius build, since you can place a totem on two points on the ground and basically hit everything that you can see. I think this can still be done with Conc effect, but it requires Carcass Jack quality increased radius gem, and almost all the +radius passives on the tree.

It wouldn't be such a long-shot to go down and get IR, for a marauder.

After the patch shadow should be the best starting class for this build IMO.

Looks good - another 2 points for Quickness near shadow.

I'm considering a dual shockwave for the new 3 month.

Thanks for the videos from invasion.
