What is the minimum amount of armor should you have? If I switch to infernal mantle my armor is only 2k.

Hey, new player here.

Where do I get the Iron Will skill gem?


Check out the Path of Exile wiki or poe.trade :) (The wiki is really good for finding out which acts to get gems from).

I thought CWDT and Enduring Cry/Immortal Call don't work together anymore?


CWDT and Immortal Call still work together, however Enduring Cry is now a "War Cry" and not a "Spell". Hence the OP telling you to max lvl it and self cast. You can still use this combo.

Wouldn't spell totem and incinerate do more damage ?


Your point whether true or not is invalid. This is a flame totem build, you should look for another thread if you wish to have an incinerate build :)

Get as much as you can whilst still getting everything else you need, it doesn't need to be too much of a focus IMO though since you should be placing your fire totems ahead of yourself to not get hit. You will obviously get hit sometimes but you shouldn't need to tank too much damage :)

Plus granite flasks with the flask points in the skill tree mean you should basically always have your granite flasks active whilst clearing.

Im fine at low lvl maps solo. But in party? Im so weak. Everybody deals more dmg than me.
Plus, i have 10k dps ( no mantle,rarity instead of Iron will in 6l Tabula; mid wands) - and that not enough. For low lvl maps - maybe. But OP told he killed mobs easy at endgame maps being in party! Solo! How? How much dps i need for this?
Ok,i dont have Mantle. Dont have verryyyy good wand. But! I have now 2 wands; which means dual/w + alot of stats ( castspeed;spelldmg,add element dmg). And OP wears shield..
+ i dont have last branch of passives (firedmg on the top); but this passived wont add alot of dps.
___
So, 1) Mantle 2) A bit passives 3) shield(which will do lower dps) this all = super-duper dps, from mine 10k?
Cant believe..
And btw this jewel with WOWWOW 60% spelldmg just adds ~900dps. Not so much.


Getting Mantle and a good wand increase your damage by quite a lot. I'd focus on getting those first and then worrying about whether your damage is good enough, because without those two items, you're hurting yourself. I personally am using two wands also, because I can survive without a shield, I'm not recommending that for you because I don't want you to die! But if you can get away with it, you might as well.

Even at 12k tooltip DPS~ I was able to solo clear maps in groups of 2/3 (under lvl 78), it wasn't as fast as solo play obviously, but it's doable (and 12k isn't that high compared to values people have posted).

Would three dragons be a useful item in this sort of build?

Three Dragons relies on applies status ailments (eg shock, freeze, etc) onto mobs. Those status ailments really need crit to apply. This build does not stack crit, so you'll be rarely applying status ailments - so three dragons won't benefit this build.

base: maligaro+ratnest, spell crit wand

if you are willing to go full crits you must spec out of bm, or you will not be able to pick up all the fine crits. This also yelds a dps boost with herald and anger, but will be quite hard to sustain enough mana.

To make crit really shine you have to go all out on it. This build is a beginner build to make it easy to gear up. As such, no crit gear is required and most of the damage nodes are base dmg vs crit. Most crit trees forgo the shield completely, use a 2h staff or dual wield, and take completely different nodes. When you start saying "rebuild this" you are really saying, "do a completely differnet build" in which case i'd just follow a crit build thread if you want to try it.
