Nope, it works already without charges like a charm (as seen in the videos) and we save more nodes for defensive stuff :)

Not to mention, it requires to stand still to generate charges and that's a problem without effective leech and unweavering.

The only benefit would be pseudo Tooltip-DPS.

Any new videos coming?

Of course, played a modded lvl 79 Arsenal map yesterday but something went wrong and it didn't recorded it but got a second Arsenal map so i'm going to record it later again :)

Upped a lvl 79 Arsenal, and i had luck since the map rolled very uncomfortable mobs and packs and that's perfect to show off the proof of concept :)

I surely upload more 79 + 80 maps over the next few weeks.

Can you do a leveling progress guide? I want to try it out, but kinda new to the game. What's the best gem to level up early, since shockwave totem is 31. Any tips for begginers?

That's a good idea, i'm going to extend the build description with a leveling guide ASAP :)

Use Flame Totems (lvl4) and don't take life nodes in the passive tree, instead get life on items.

You can switch to CI when you get around 3,5k-4K es, that should be obtainable later around Merciless A3 or A4.

You should also socket additionally a Spell Totem into a free socket, because you can also switch later for the sake of variety to Storm call if you want. :)

May I ask what your displayed dps for SWT is?

Also, how would you say does it compare to flame totem clear speed wise (mainly for bosses)?

31K dps but achieved with a lot of Crit damage that's the reason why most packs and mobs often go down with just one hit, that means if you would achieve 31k dps with lets say cast speed and spell damage modifiers the result would be completely different.

ST vs. FT / Mobs and Packs: Since ST is pure Phys and since most monsters are not immune to Phys but to elemental damage ST got IMHO the edge over FT not to mention ST's 360° gapless and vanilla AOE Damage makes you hit everything in radius with each single wave.



ST vs. FT / Bosses: Haven't made a final verdict yet, i need to make a CC/CD FT char first and a few test runs to be certain.



Edit: 33k now, dropped the first mana/mana regen nodes in the Witch starting area for the jewel trio cluster (mana/mana/jewel socket) near the CI node.

Have to test now how mana regen works since i lost 200 effective mana from the pool with this change.

hi sir,

wanna give your build a try, maybe in tempest...

i think the build isn't doable as a templar?
maybe it will be very tough and unsafe in leveling process...
should i go for a shield instead of dualwield?
