[2.2 Video Guide] Beginner's Build: Dual Flame Totem, Blood Magic Chieftain [Atziri & HC/SC Viable]
Here, I fixed the tree for you, got rid of bad nodes, got more important ones, this tree is alot better for HC. Instead of going all the way up to Heart of Flame for damage the build dosn't really need more of, I've selected more life/armour nodes and more Jewel nodes.

I'm really loving the totems and starting to reach the 75's on maps.
After receiving doryani's invitation and self linking my mantle(Whoo!) I'm sort of wondering where to go with my gear now. I sit at 4.2k life now (4.5 when I hit 80) and 12.5k tooltip on each flame totem. My dream in PoE has always been killing Atziri. It would also be sweet to see how the higher maps feel(mommy dont hurt me.) Just being never this far I'm not sure where to go from here Atziri wise. It feels like I'm starting to be on a solid ground towards her but I just need some reassuring guidance for my final goals before the Vaal Queen. TL;DR I want to achieve my dream of killing Atziri, what do I have left to do gear/buildwise? |

" Wow, I love your gear. Your Shield is awesome, the Wand too! Not that squishy build as so many other players but still outstanding dps. What do you think about speccing into Unyielding instead of the last 3 nodes at the Marauder starting area? "Temporal Chains multiplies the duration on the monster that you are already multiplying through duration multipliers of poison damage."

How do you get enough int to gear wands? I got 145 int at lvl 67...

I personally have the Ancestral Knowledge for +30 int and run a shield with another +30 to int. This thing is a bitch to wear, I'd consider replacing it if I find anything better(was a stole for 3c) with less requirements, this would free me to double wand possibly. Or then I will get my hands on one of those consuming darkness'. This would allow me to free at least 2 skills points.
also this helps me a lot gearwise. Last edited by Afasia#0171 on Jul 23, 2015, 9:12:03 AM

" Excellent! Great ideas here. It really shows the strength of the build in its best form! You used a lot of the defensive/life nodes I was looking into and I think I will mirror one or more of your choices. Your DPS is also very good considering the use of the rain of splinters jewel. Do you find it very useful? A lot of people have stopped using it in their totem builds. I'd like to hear your input on that. I toyed with going 100% chaos (Consuming Dark) a while back but have decided on the fire damage and fire pen instead. I am now level 81 and have a slight crit variant. Tooltip DPS with shield (and rarity as 6th gem) is 17,320 Tooltip DPS with shield (and crit damage as 6th) is 20,000 Tooltip DPS as dual wield (with Totem-Pen-Proj-Fcast-AddedChaos-ItemRarity) is 22469 Tooltip DPS as dual wield (with Totem-Pen-Proj-Fcast-AddedChaos-CritDamage) is 26289 NOTE: DPS is always higher than above listed within 4 seconds placing a totem. It goes up by 1-2k depending on gem / wield setup. I'm not sure if using Iron Will would be better than Crit Damage but I have to re-color to do that and I don't get the option to swap in rarity. It is really nice using that all of the time and since my DPS is a lot better now I don't really need to swap it out. (I've had a dramatic increase of unique drops since using it full time) The biggest difference though is that my life/amor is lower. Missing life in the belt is a big deal. Armor = ~6300 Life is ~4500 It is standard I know, but am considering a defensive investment.

I looked at a lot of the same nodes you took. I had planned to take 2 nodes of Purity of Flesh, and then Arcane Potency, which would be 7 points total. I had thought about both Combat Stamina (To make up for Armor and life lost by ditching the Sentinel path) or 3 of the life & armor nodes down by marauder (for the same reason) Last edited by damelon#0632 on Jul 23, 2015, 10:04:31 AM

" Well I can't see any gems in most of your gear. But based on just what you linked, I'd say that the fact you have a 3L in your chest piece is your immediate need of improvement since with a mantle thats where your totem gems should be. Get it to 4L->5L->6L and put your totem gems in there and your dps will improve dramatically. You shouldn't even use a mantle if your totem gems aren't in it. You also aren't using fire penetration, which should be your 3rd gem. It doesn't show up as any tooltip DPS (unless quality) but it does make a huge difference. Quality gems for skills like Faster Projectiles and Faster Casting will make a big difference too. You also need to post your tree. Not sure what nodes you have, and link your rings. Your DPS is actually not bad based on the 4L in your boots. You will get a +1 level to totem just by moving it to the chest. Last edited by damelon#0632 on Jul 23, 2015, 10:54:32 AM

" Just out of curiosity... since the tree is "fixed" why do you attack the jewel node with an int mode instead of STR for iron will? Obviously, everyone can tweak things here or there for personal taste/gear/feel, but I was just curious... one mode isn't a big deal.. or at least it normally isn't unless you need the into for gear, etc. |
