Lvl 88 now, switched to +2 Powercharge build using icespear+faster casting+gmp+powercharge on crit. 250% crit chance 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.

There´s an affix for rare mobs "resists Chaosdmg" which seem to occur pretty often. In addition to that Unique Bosses (like Atziri) got chaos res, which you are unable to penetrate. Iam not sure if following a pure +critmult +critchance weapon is better than the +22castspeed iam wearing, since i think castspeed is a really beneficial stat on totembuilds?

Well observed on cast speed. The big advantage of cast speed on totems is that it is a hugely efficient (no mana impact) and synergistic stat (cursing, EDIT not totem placement). I actually prefer the massive cast speed stacking you can get from dual wands versus daggers, in a crit totem build.

I was using the basics of this build up until about level 93 in tempest league when I switched to a crit .

Im approaching mid tier maps , currently my tool tip dps is 11491 , im considering switching crit

questions:

1)


would this be ok for crit , its crit is not global , would it still apply to flame totem?

2)
also, i see you have a lot of gem slots in your build , can you mention what they are specifically ?
im guessing crit and something ?

3)
Thoughts on celestial punishment? My understanding is crits = ignite, and ignite = 25% more damage yeah?

Just to avoid misinformation, cast speed no longer has any influence on the speed of totem placement.

1. It's crit is global, so yes, although a crafted rare would be better.

2. Clear mind(60% Spell Dmg), and 3x 25% Fire dmg / 6-7% life Jewels.

3. I had celestial punishment becfore I went crit, you can't have both without sacrificing too much survivability. If your not playing HC, go ahead.

build is good,but its so boring... maybe its just for me idk

It is. A lot of the one key builds are pretty boring though. Cyclone, Ice Crash, Tornado Shot, Flame Totem. Play-wise, this game is not very complex though either, the theorycrafting is much more complicated than the actual gameplay.

I am a returning player and started this build in the new leagues.
2. Why Herald of thunder? It can't ever make a body explode as we do no shock damage, so is it only because of the added lightning damage? And is it really worth it for that little?

Thanks.

Herald of Ash is for physical and Herald of Ice does less damage than Herald of Thunder.

I would also like to have it elaborated on why Herald of Thunder is a good idea. First, Herald of Ice seems to do more damage (53-70 vs. 19-76 on level 20). Second, Herald of Ice provides more utility, since it can actually freeze (right?) and proc.

Also, it seems to me like the damage of either Herald is too puny to justify the life reservation (at least on Hardcore).

Ok so I'm now level 85 and respecced into more crit but still very viable for HC.

I've got 5 230 Life, 979 ES & 6500 armour.

DPS/totem first 4 seconds = 15729 with the golem out, no heralds.

Gear:


I'll look for a nice jewel to boost the crit I think.
+Should I get a "Consuming dark" dagger now, and go out of the Celestial wheel?
