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

Can anyone share your wand which is better than Apeps? I don't understand what wand is well crafted.
1. Increased: Fire, Spell or Elemental Damage
2. Added Flat Fire/Lightning/Cold damage to spells (for wands/scepters)
3. Increased Cast Speed
4. Increased Projectile Speed
5. Strength (Iron Will damage) or Crit if you dont have iron will (or like to have more crit in build)

Basically look for the following on a wand/sceptre:
50%+ spell/elemental/fire damage (combined) of course the higher the better
50+ added damage to spells (any element, add the min/max and divide by two to get this number, but if you get fire it also gets boosted by your curse, fire pen, etc)
20%+ cast speed

A wand with 100% spell damage and no cast speed is worse than a wand with 50% spell damage and 20% cast speed.

Also, as mentioned above, look for things like global crit chance/modifier, projectile speed, strength as well.


If you go crit daggers it skews from cast speed to even more crit

does the soul Mantle allow us to have a 3rd flame totem?

cos of the random curse on totem death?

That's one reason, yes. Also it makes any gems in it supported by a spell totem. And in a flame totem build, looking at links... you kind of ruin a slot with it. What are you going to cast with spell totem? You would have to then put flame totem elsewhere. Now you would basically be forced to run with a staff.

FLAME TOTEM is a elemental skill? i know its counted as Fire Skill
I find that I rarely ever use these two 3L gems:

1. Lightning Warp, Faster Casting, Reduced Duration
2. Flame Totem, Culling Strike, Increased Item Rarity

What other 3L gems should I use to improve DPS or Survivability?

Thanks

So I've started using this build and I'm still low level (only 45) but I've been considering turning it into a crit totem build. In doing so I have several questions I would like to ask.

-Is it still optimal to run the normal set-up for fire totem or should I trade a gem for a critical chance/multiplier one?
-Is there an effective alternative to enduring cry/cwdt immortal call set-up?

So far I'm following the build as it is but whenever I get to 65 I'll probably switch part of the tree to add one or two jewel spot and get some important crits node but should I wait to be higher level before switching to crits?

Thanks guys


Bump, still haven't got any reply to this. Anyone could shed some light on this for me :D?
