Witch - $$$ Grave Intentions Flame Totem MFarmer: I'm Cheap 'n' Easy $$$ - Forum

Not only that, but my totems are very tanky (due to my passive selections) None of my gear is focused on dps aside from my Doryani's and a 5-link Flame totem setup. Not a good idea either for a MF totem build to rely exclusively on HP for auras, damage absorption and skill casting. Yes, you have over 5k life, but once you start casting and taking a few hits, you are on "Low-life" pretty quick. This is a TRUE dual totem MF build which takes advantage of several mechanics and uniques. The only thing that could compare is a summoner - except for the Aumvorax hit to rarity. The most important point of this build is that it's so easy to play and have fun. I am terrible at video games, and even I can manage any map with any mod (except chaos spider boss) Sounds awesome, thanks for the response. To expjah's credit, he makes his build work for him pretty well it seems, but this build seems stronger at the very least from a IIR / IIQ standpoint because of low-life, to say nothing of the ease of getting those ultra high resists. I think I'll definitely give this a shot on my witch tomorrow. edit: I notice you picked up Arcane Vision. Is it exceedingly difficult to see without that node? I never thought about it with low-life builds; I haven't looked at many. Last edited by ConsPark#2414 on Aug 19, 2014, 6:44:15 PM	Posted by ConsPark#2414 on Aug 19, 2014, 6:30:09 PM Quote this Post

I never thought about it with low-life builds; I haven't looked at many. His certainly did a good job at optimizing that version. But there is a limitation where you would have to be selective about the type of content you are farming. You can test out the low life visibility by linking any 40% aura with blood magic and entering a place like chamber of sins (normal) and see how you do. For me, it's a mandatory node and thankfully relatively close to other key passives.

Must say, it's a pretty cool build! I'm only level 41 atm, still life based and just swapped to dual Flame Totem and the last couple levels went really smooth and fast! I leveled till level 39 with Molten Strike and a random 2hander, equipping the best life + res gear I could find and had absolutely no problem with any mob. If Molten Strike isn't of your liking, use Spectral Throw with a 2hander, since it requires no gear to do well until you swap to flame totems. Both Molten Strike and Spectral Throw can be gained as 1st quest reward (Marauder/Templar/Duelist and Scion respectively) so even in a new league, it won't be a problem to find them, just roll a character, get to town and drop the gem in the chest. Switching to totems earlier than Ancestral Bond IMO isn't really optimal, since the totem is pretty squishy without at least a couple levels and the totem life nodes neal AB, so don't rush trying to use it since it'll just esplode before killing anything. Even at level 6 (as is mine) they're pretty soft but with LMP and Faster Projectiles they can dish out enough damage to kill packs before they get killed, same goes for bosses. All in all, pretty fun build, looks like it'll get buffed immensly come 1.2 thanks to the early ES nodes in witch tree and the new ES cluster near Minion Instability! I'll keep you posted, if you're interested! :) What do you think about Ice Nova until switching to Searing Bond? I found Pyre, so it'll be converted to fire damage. Molten Strike is pretty fun, but I prefer to cast.	Posted by JoeODanger#4553 on Aug 21, 2014, 1:55:56 AM Quote this Post

Fireball+LMP+Fire Pen is just too strong, with the right gear, you can even out-pace searing bond. My passive tree as of level 34: Spoiler http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgMADXwQWBFQGyUc3B1PHaoo-iycLR8yNDW5RKtGcUuuVa5XyW0Zb55_xoIQgseDCYdlj6aTJ5UgoqOnK6-3tAy9gsHz2Vvfit-w4YjpAuq6-eg= My char currently has the following gear: Spoiler Leveling with Fireball and Fire trap matches so well, and with my baby-coil (Cloak of Flame) I can take quite a few hits. So my jump to Searing Bond is not necessary. I'm crashing through content +2 levels above me. I have mixed feelings about Pyre. There are very few things in the short game (before level 50) that would take advantage of the ring. Ice damage typically has a reduced damage scope with the trade-offs being slightly more base crit and chance to freeze. Pyre takes away that last one, so I think it's not something I would build around.

What does count as low-life? Like on those 100% rarity shoes. 100% increased rarity on low life. Does it mean your life under 30% or 10%?	Posted by eminem#7514 on Aug 21, 2014, 8:46:51 AM Quote this Post

You need to achieve an HP reservation of 67% to maintain low life. 1000 max hp would mean that your effective hp would need to be 333/1000 The three things that take great advantage of low life status is your Pain Attunement (30% more damage after all calculations) the Redbeak sword (double your base damage) and the 100 bonus rarity from the wondertraps.
