" Miskq wrote: Got guestion about cast speed. On 2.0 patch notes it says this: Totem placement can now be sped up with a new Totem Placement Speed stat. Cast speed no longer places totems more quickly. Base totem placement speed is faster than the cast speed used to be. So isn't cast speed pretty useless stat for this build? Should you spec the cast speed notes to something else and not take cast speed on gear aswell? And is it possible to spec into mf with this build? Edit: also could you recommend loot filter that would be good with this build? Cast speed still greatly increases the cast speed of the totems thus directly increasing your damage. This is one of the reasons that faster casting is one of the most important support skills for flame totem :) For MF simply change your gear accordingly =) As for loot filters I recommend Neversinks or my own (which I haven't released yet) :) Weekly build guides: Youtube.com/LiftingNerdBro Daily live streams: Twitch.tv/LiftingNerdBro Friendly PoE community: Discord.gg/Lifting	Posted by LiftingNerdBro#1842 on Jul 11, 2015, 12:04:14 PM Quote this Post
would you suggest going for blood magic even if you don't have infernal mantle (yet)? Last edited by danteafk#2688 on Jul 11, 2015, 12:06:17 PM	Posted by danteafk#2688 on Jul 11, 2015, 12:05:05 PM Quote this Post

I'm curious about your thoughts on crit vs non-crit and why you chose to do non? Thanks!	Posted by Archetype90#2263 on Jul 11, 2015, 12:40:42 PM Quote this Post
Hey thanks for this build! I started a Witch and I'll follow your guide. I have a question, though: You say that Spell Damage is a priority over Cast Speed, so why you choose the 3 Cast Speed nodes and not the 3 Spell Damage ones? I'm talking about the beginning of the Witch path. Last edited by megazz#1152 on Jul 11, 2015, 12:59:33 PM	Posted by megazz#1152 on Jul 11, 2015, 12:57:37 PM Quote this Post

Crit also requires much better gear to do well. For that reason I prefer non-crit builds as they are easier to get going in new leagues, they are safer as you have more points to invest into survivability and they are much cheaper :) Weekly build guides: Youtube.com/LiftingNerdBro Daily live streams: Twitch.tv/LiftingNerdBro Friendly PoE community: Discord.gg/Lifting	Posted by LiftingNerdBro#1842 on Jul 11, 2015, 1:46:40 PM Quote this Post

I'm talking about the beginning of the Witch path. Yea I understand why you would ask that. The reason I suggest spell damage over cast speed on gear is simply because that a high spell damage roll on gear is significantly stronger than the highest cast speed roll. 90% increased spell damage for instance will beat most the highest cast speed rolls (in most cases at least) Weekly build guides: Youtube.com/LiftingNerdBro Daily live streams: Twitch.tv/LiftingNerdBro Friendly PoE community: Discord.gg/Lifting	Posted by LiftingNerdBro#1842 on Jul 11, 2015, 1:48:04 PM Quote this Post
Is it even worth using FT in 4L? I mean, unless i'll have 5L, then any +2 fire gem weapon probably beats 4th gem easy, because of the way FT dmg scales with level?	Posted by evilmindcz#6356 on Jul 11, 2015, 2:42:57 PM Quote this Post
