But , if my hero only have 160str now ,
and last one gem is Iron Will now,

i dont know which one is good for me, who can tell me?

please!

thanks!


With 160 str? You should drop Iron Will for sure.


ok, if i drop iron will
last one gem, i use added lighting dmg?

thanks so much
What are the best masters to have in your hideout for this build?

I dont have a lot of experience with the master system so please let me know if there are any better options.

Right now I have Karina (for wands), Haku (for armour), and Vagan (no real reason - he was just my first master).
Vagan cant roll caster mods

i took Catarina (caster so aobvious)
Tora is also nice cos she has a lot of crafitng for wands

together they cover probably every option for wand crafting

the next 2 are for me debatable

i like Vorici cos i like to put 6 link reliably and he allows that on any item in game
and he looks cool too :)

some people take Zana too for the maps
some take Haku for the armor crafting options

If you're using Ancestral Bond no other skill will do damage except totems, so Molten shell would give you armor... but do no damage. Maybe Vaal Molten Shell... or Vaal Clarity for free casting...


You CAN still do damage, but its not that worth it. From the wiki on Ancestral Bond:

"
With Ancestral Bond, the character can only deal damage to enemies by indirect means such as totems, traps and mines, or minions. Reflected damage, including that caused by Punishment, will still be applied, but Tempest Shield will not do any damage. The poison clouds caused by Poison Arrow will still do damage.


Yes, indirect damage.. I was thinking more along the lines of his specific question and the build itself... since this one doesn't recommend using much in the way of other damage other than a Golem...

Has anyone tried making a crit build out of this? I have voidbringer, 3 dragons and couple other decent crit items in my bank that I'd like to put to use.

well i woild recommend using http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Summon_Raging_Spirit

especially for those people that hae free space 'cos they are not using culling totem or the teleportation skill...

just take a 4 link add SRS + meleesplash + multistrike + empover/addedfiredmg

it uses a lot of fire to dmg - 50% of their physical damage is converted into Fire Damage - so it scales well with our bonuses to fire dmg we get from skills/gear

it doesnt need any added investment in skills
its a summon so you can use it with Ancestral Bond

That's an awful lot of spamming.. since you're recasting totems so frequently... but hey... that's not a bad idea... maybe spell echo with it? I was thinking spell totem with frost wall for defense and herding...
with frost wall you need the lightning teleport so you can get out if something goes fishy

and yes SRS is a lot of spamming, but:

1) totems do last a while so if you can cast firestorms you also can SRS
2) just hold down that "W" pressed and it goes fast :D (base casting time is 0.8s)
3) we actually are doing something besides casting enduring cry

PS. plus the great feeling of playing the Protoss Carrier launching the armada of small interceptors :P

True.. Although I plan on carrying Lightning Warp... does Phase Run let you run through a frost wall? I suspect not.

Just watch out for point defense... 8)...
