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

Is Infernal Mantle just straight up better than Lightning Coil? Seeing how Infernal Mantle is the item you recommend in the build.

Cheers for a great build!

Beat atziri!!

Never played against atziri before, never had the guts...lv87 witch here

I used this build and beat her just barely mostly due to my inexperience and not having a ruby flask on hand . Still beat her tho using dual totem build , awesome! 19K tooltip dmg fyi.

Great build & guide!

Nice! It looks like you are going crit on your build, did you swap over to crit at some point? Or did you build that way from the start? I swapped for a bit and it felt underwhelming, going to try again in a few levels with better gear.

Bump. Used this as my first build in Warbands and leveled up all the way to 70 easy peasy before I rerolled another character(like I always end up doing). Easiest and one of the most fun builds Ive ever played.

Does the enduring cry setup posted in the op still work?

Thanks for your guide , I have returned to have a play for 2.0 not really played since the game came out and been having a lot of fun with this build.

My gear as above , but I was actually able to start mapping with much worse gear if I was careful and took my time.

Ill upgrade my weapon soon, just waiting for a good one at a good price to come up but that one im using is fine in 72 maps , the culling makes up for quite a lot of dps , especially as totems focus one target at a time , the faster that target dies the faster they can pick a new target.

Right now, im running HoT and added lightning rather than added chaos on my totem, does anyone happen to know if herald of thunder + item rarity would mean i get rarity on anything my totem kills? My assumption is yes and that makes HoT worth running even if it added 0 dps.

Flame golem \ minion life \ minion speed also works out nice for a 3 link dps boost although it does die a bit its mostly there to buff our dps not do actual dps

Personally my clear speed is fairly slow (im sure dps will help) generally when I party aoe classes seem to be king at clear speed time.

I will mention totem life is an issue, Ive been levelling a new flame totem gem , so as soon as my main one hits level 20 , ill upgrade it to +20% for aditional life on the totem (I want to put a minimum of points into totem survivability)

Anyway bit of a rant , certainly not a build that everyone would enjoy but this is especially good for new players with shitty gear, I was mapping with terrible resistances for a while and its fairly forgiving for under geared players.

--

Ill add that is also very nice to have in addition to the shield, for when you do lower level content, obviously 2 wands would be great but i dont regret the purchase , was using it for ages until i purchased the shield (I still use it a lot , very nice for added dps when mitigation is not needed)

All this gear I got very cheap, and the chest I linked myself over a couple days, once I grind some more currency \ gear ill slowly start to upgrade , after I get a better weapon I will be pretty sorted though.

Yes you just have to manually cast enduring cry.

Just curious, but why take the cast speed nodes at the start of witch over the spell damage nodes?

I was using the basics of this build up until about level 93 in tempest league when I switched to a crit chaos version of it that does a ton more damage and has huge benefits on maps with ele reflect/ele equil/fire resists.

My tooltip increased by about 16k dual wield and 10k with shield.

Gem Changes:
Flammability -> Assassin's Mark / Enfeeble
Fire Pen -> Increased Critical Damage

With Shield:
6.2k Armour
6.3k Life




With Dual Wield:
2.4k Armour
5.9k Life


The Gear:



In my opinion, a much stronger build if you have a nice crit dagger to back up your consuming dark.
You also have the option of going dual curse since you are so close to it, I chose not to because I roll alot of curse immune maps.

Lvl 88 now, switched to +2 Powercharge build using icespear+faster casting+gmp+powercharge on crit. 250% crit multi is alot. boosted my dmg to 35k tooltip with 5linked infernal. thinking bout changing to consuming dark for the firepenetration slot. Is it worth it? No way to mitigate chaos res feels kinda weak. Any thoughts?

Do it, see my post above.

You get alot more crit chance from daggers and should be using them for a crit build.

With full chaos your totems wont insta kill themselves on ele reflect maps.

Hardly any monsters have chaos resists, the ones I notice are the dogs, but they still die in less than 3 seconds.
