Faster projectiles may not give you as much tool-tip DPS as added lightning, however it indirectly makes you deal more damage by having a great "aoe" = faster clear speed as it kills stuff from further away before they even get to the totem.

Happy new Year!
Good guide.

I had a tabularassa but it doesn´t really work with infernal mantel (damagebonus is missing) and the change of a blue gem with a blue gem is easy.
But different colour for a 6l chest... *brrr*

It is a secondary buff. Every projectile (for example freecing pulse) has a lifetime (flighttime). If the projectile flies faster, the distance is longer.
The flametotem fire is like a "beam" the burndistance is longer. If you place at maximum range you can burn out of the screen.
If I use the Night's Hold and put a Flame Totem on it, how far can I go just using the Night's Hold before putting Flame Totem on a 4L/5L?
Love this build! First HC character and I'm at level 80 atm. Just wondering, which gems should I increase the quality of?
