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

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?	Posted by germano003#4438 on Mar 8, 2016, 7:03:41 AM Quote this Post
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.	Posted by LordAdagio#6388 on Mar 8, 2016, 11:09:20 AM Quote this Post

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. 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.	Posted by the_Arkain#5116 on Mar 8, 2016, 2:26:57 PM Quote this Post

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"?

" the -20% works only for monster nearby.. what is nearby? 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.	Posted by the_Arkain#5116 on Mar 9, 2016, 11:24:27 AM Quote this Post
Hi! i have a question about your dual flame totem build. more exactly about chieftain skills.You are using Arohungui, Moon’s Presence & Tukohama War's Herald.but your totems dont really get killed or if they are you can resummon them really fast so i say immune to fire damage isnt that important no?and totems reflect 8% of their hp as fire damage when hit id say that isnt that much of a damage because on your passive tree your didnt really grab that much of totem life%. So i was curious wouldnt Ngamahu, Flames Advance be better than Arohungui because 15% change to ignite + we grab Celestial punishment thats extra 5% chance to ignite (20% total from theese 2 skills) and +60% Damage against burning enemies.so 20% chance to ingite id say is a lot especially if u have fast attack rate with totems. And after that grab Hinekora, Death's Fury for +10% fire penetration and if u add up 37% from fire penetration gem(lvl 20) + 2% from Celestial Judgement that a total 49% fire penetration. And to really make it easy Hinekora grants us 1% fire damage leeched as life so say u have 10k totem damage thats a pretty sweet life leech id say.
