Yes

So because of the changes to CWDT and EC no longer being an option, what would be best? Is there a better option for a 4 slot to go off of?

I am just coming back and was going off of this cheap and easy build to get back into the game. Any help on updates to the skill gem setups would be appreciated.

In the 2.0 Changelog there is a quote:

"

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 now I wonder why to pick cast speed instead of spell dmg in the beginning?

I use at the moment this items.

Maybe i change the unset ring and one wand for the lions shield.


Only one level up than i will go with the last points for damage.

I think, i will end up around 21k dps. I think then i will be nearly the end.

All other stuff like vaal haste, power charge is nice but not always up. so i look only at the "base damage" of my totem. I am a bit lazy, to press everytime the right button.

Vaal Haste gives around 2k dps extra.

old one.. its from december.

ups.. 20k dps... who is the liar? :)

With better gems, 1-2 level i am at the moment at around 22k dps/totem.

and why faster projectiles instead of LMP isnt LMP better_? i know it will have bigger range but is it worth it?

and why you dont use so you dont need to use fire penetration at all? and maybe to use controlled destruction instead, since its not crit build?

Hi Guys and Girls,

I would like to thank you for this guide. I started playing when the game was released and then stopped up until about one month ago. I was a freeze pulse build originally but changed over to dual totem when i returned one month ago.

Im having alot of fun, even more than i did when i first started. I currently only play on my own and not in party's. I also only currently run T3-5 maps as i figured i still want to level without dieing so much plus working my way through all the maps i have collected.

Im still unsure about alot of the gems and flasks for this build. I do not like the idea of having to self cast Enduring cry even though it is in my gear at this point unused. I still do not have a vaal haste gem. I also do not have the correct flasks or know how to obtain them.

I have attached my gear and stats. If anyone has the time, would they mind taking a look through my gear and stats and make some recommendations on what i should improve and what gems and flasks i should use and how to get them?. I know i still do not own a six link infernal mantle

Hi,

thanks a lot both to the author and everyone else ( i have gone trought every single page XD )

it's my first build and i have a lot of fun.

I have replaced iron will with life leech for now for survivability, and i have added a second lower cast when damage taken with warlord mark for the lifeleech and more endurance charges ( dual curse via boots ), kockback/tempest shield and ice wall.

As i still have a tabula rasa and do level 12 rare maps the extra survivability can come sometimes come in handy.

Could you make a tree with 122 or 123 skill points ?

How about a fireborn crimson jewel above the witch to convert the lightning herald of thunder node to fire ?



Thank you.

P.S. : Here is a link on different damage types for the flame totem:

Hey everyone, sorry if this has been asked (or is actually a stupid question or whatever). I'm only playing the game for a few days, watched a few of the OPs guides on youtube, and found this guide pretty interesting, and started playing my witch today.
I just can't figure this out: What kind of equipment should I collect/wear while leveling? Like, do I use sword&shield or do I use a wand?
What stats should I look for on gear? (i.E Armour, Evasion?, which affixes, etc.?)
What other skills should I use besides flame totem?
I've played tons of arpgs, mmos, games in general but I got to admit that this one is extremely complicated/challenging at the beginning, so thanks a lot for any help/advice!

Any thoughts on ascension for this build yet? I think elementalist witch with Liege of Primordial is a must, but what else? Also marauder chieftain should be viable.

I'm not an expert by any means but I've played like, a ton of flame totem characters using this

The kind of equipment I go for when I'm leveling is health, elemental resistances, and armour with a strength or intelligence base type rare items because this build is more of a tankier type so more health and resistances with armour is super nice (resistances cap at 75%, but you can, and pretty much should, overcap them to 135% in normal difficulty, so it's easier to survive in the higher difficulties that penalise the resists)

As for the weapons... in softcore I go double wands until I find a really nice shield that helps with survivability... so I'll end up with a wand that gives %increased spell damage and cast speed and a shield that gives me armor and resistances

For the main base stats (armour, evasion etc) I usually look for armour as it helps taking physical damage spikes that (obviously) my elemental resists don't help with

Regarding other skills you can use the ones he's listed in the guide obviously (as they are for the end game) but while leveling I use lightning warp (like he says in the guide) cast when damage taken (also in the guide) and firestorm in a +1 to gems item (usually one of the double wands)

Eventually I get the Ancestral Bond keystone and use only flame totem (because with that keystone, you no longer deal damage outside of totems with your skills yourself)

I think that covered most of the questions you asked..
