[2.2 Video Guide] Beginner's Build: Dual Flame Totem, Blood Magic Chieftain [Atziri & HC/SC Viable]

"
Build still works fine as a witch, currently running the full chaos conversion. The thing is that there is no real boost to the build in terms of Ascendancy sub-class.


Are you serious? Take Occultist and you have:
- 20% chaos penetration, which is a garanteed 1.2 damage multiplier
- a free second curse, very good for this build because you have plently of free time once you've dropped your totems.
- the thing with the explosion, (Malediction) that I haven't tested yet but that looks good as well.

IMHO it's way betten than any marauder subclass, for Poison.

Hey, how about a dual flame totem shadow assasin?


For crit flame totem, then sure! =)


Sorry, I asked you on YT as well ... would you suggest a tree for a build like this here pls? :)
Love this build liftingbro, I'm 66 in pendarus hc with it.
With a 4L or 5L which flame totem link would you leave out for max dps?
Edit: Also is it worth buying a infernal mantle at 66 in hc and 5L-ing it? I'm already resi capped in merci, but I might lose around 10% resi for each element if I switch to infernal mantle.

So, I'm currently leveling with this build, but I really don't know what subclasse to get.
Elementalist wouldn't be better then Occultist?
Occultist, it's only if you play the Poison version (conversion from Fire to Chaos with Infernal Mantle + Consuming dark).

Of course for Fire, elementalist is the best witch subclass.

I see your point, I don't curse so the only thing appealing was the chaos penetration for my playstyle.
the -20% works only for monster nearby.. what is nearby?

I try it with the templar and the +2 totems maybe this is somethin.
A witch do i have at normal.
Also a maradeur.. but only level 35 and rightous fire.

What good does Infernal Mantle do when you are rocking BM? the 100% spell dmg taken while low on mana and BM brings this down to zero so would this not count as "low on mana"?

In term of distance, I don't know. Have a look at this screenshot, monsters affected by the -20% "aura" are circled in blue (I must say it's a little bit annoying because you tend to confuse with magic monsters).

Spoiler







So it's not full screen radius, but for me it's enough in most situations.

ah thank you.. it is more than nearbye.. i tought about closerange.
So it is a option, you will get around 60% of the monster, maybe a bit more.
