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

Yes, the enduring cry is put into linked slots with CWDT/IC/ID but it is supposed to be self-cast. That alone is a huge part of the defense here. There is also plenty of time to do it. This has a double effect. First, you get the bonus of defense with it up, second your IC lasts longer. Considering us totem users don't have to target, casting EC on our own isn't so hard.
You have similar stats to me defensively... more armor even, but I don't really have any problems with death in maps at all. Use your movement speed and terrain to your advantage. Many times I cast totems around corners and wait for them to melt things. Yeah there are a lot of times we can take burst damage, but nothing should one-shot and insta-pots should recover that right away in time to get out of trouble. So to sum up: Manually cast EC Keep IC setup, thats very important to prevent burst damage! Avoid situations where you would take damage. (Stay out of packs, run around corners) Use instant heal potions and 2 quicksilver flasks |

And dont forget one granite flask, with added armor - that way you can mitigate almost anything that jumps to you before you run away...

|

hey
could someone advise me what to use additionally with the 2 totems? i cant damage alone with spells so does this only leave me with cursing? |
|
" Pretty much, yes. Going dual totem means your damage basically comes entirely from the totems. The only things you end up actively casting are curses, warcrys, and movement abilties (such as flame dash, lightning warp, etc) Dual Totem is not for everyone. A lot of people find it boring. Depends on the person! Last edited by damelon#0632 on Jul 29, 2015, 9:39:42 AM

Not boring at all!
This is just the right build for me as a first character in Warbands. I'm playing this now, just reached cruel, and no problems so far. Even without any items or currency. Played the build to level 62 on standard before, when I realized this. Great build, thanks for this. |

This is a great build, I died 3 times in Warbands cause I got cocky, and alt-tabbed once.
If someone can look at my Witches gear and recommend improvements on gear I'd appreciate it. I need a better weapon as well I think. 1627 DPS at lvl 49. Thanks for reading. |
