hey man, awesome guide! i just started playin again after quite a while and still dont know alot about the game and this has helped quite a bit. was just wondering about faster projectile gem with fire totem. i dont seem to have enough dex to use it at my lvl (56). should i be aiming for a lvl one faster projectile and never level it or get more dex on my gear? also when, if ever, should i stop leveling certain gems? thank you for the guide

For additional defences I suggest using: Enduring Cry (lvl 20+, self-cast)Cast When Damage Taken (lvl 9), Immortal Call (lvl 11) and Increased Duration (level 20+)

Hey,

your guide is pretty amazing! Fun to play and what i like most is the video you made. Very high quality guide!

But i have a few questions, which are not clear for myself. Maybe you (on another user :) ) can help me understing these points:

1) Why you are not using any auras? (except herald of thunder)

2) Why we have to use Blood Magic? Wouldn't it be better just to get a better mana regenration and save these points?

3)Why you are not using a fire golem?

4) Wouldnt it be better to use a soul mantle as armor to be able casting 3 totems? Or is the dmg with ur recomendation just higher?

5) Wouldn't it be better to use a doryanis sceptre?

If you or somebody could answer this question i would be really thankful! Even if the questions are dumb :).

Regards!

1) I think (do not know) he is only using small amount of auras due to blood magic.

2) He states he likes using blood magic for this build so we do not need to worry at all about mana regen or plus mana etc. You could definitely run a Fire Totem spec that runs on mana, it will just be harder and more expensive to get the gear you need to keep it running whilst keeping high damage numbers.

3) was answered in a previous post, but if you missed it, he IS using Fire Golem :)

4) I'm actually not sure about this, but honestly I've had zero trouble clearing level 78 maps (what I've done up to so far) with just two totems. I don't think a third totem is needed.

5) You can use Doryani's on a low budget, but a rare rolled/crafted wand could have better stats and be better for your build. There's nothing wrong with using it before you get that rare wand though!

Hope this helps, some of this may just be opinion but I think you can follow what I've said and be fine. Like I said, I have no problems clearing mid end game content right now, but I'm also not claiming to be a professional or anything!

Thank you Wayne for helping out with all the questions. You are absolutely right in what you are saying. I should add to the second question that the reason I suggest BM is also because it enables us to use Infernal Mantle and Clear Mind, which both gives a huge damage boost to the build =)

Thank you very much, guys! I'm glad playing in a community like this :)

Hi there!

Could anyone explain me why choosing witch as your class do you pick 9% casting speed instead of 30% spell power beneath the very root of the tree? Isn't spell power more profitable as you claim it for gearing?
Thanks in advance!
