[2.5] Dual Flame Totem Crit version. 263k dps (400k possible) . Uber and Normal Atziri

Isnt chieftan better for this build? With life leech and fire dmg immune?, and controlled destruction take away alot of crit and also alot of dmg, switch out controlled destruction

Took a few days off. I was starting to burn out. The lack of map drops was frustrating.

Essence League Excavation Map



Essence League Barrows Map

Heres the exalt you asked for
having alot of fun on standard, essence i'm gettin bored.

Nice! That is one sick belt.

Like you, I got tired of the league. I am playing in standard. I got a chance to try out some different builds (BV / MF / BM FT Chieftan / Spectral Throw) over the last month. I am working on my Shav's next to try a CI LL build.

Maybe the next league will be more exciting. I am not a fan of having to redo the atlas over & over, especially if the maps are not falling.

I did get my first tier 16 map to drop in Standard. I haven't tried it yet.

would that build be possible to play as a marauder for chieftain ascendency? it gives a lot of bonuses for totems, more fire damage etc.

also, is with this build uber lab possible? I consider this as a league starter for next league

Yes it's 100% possible. I can say it's like 500% better as marauder, because his ascendancy are best for totems. If you add to that mind over meter and eldritch battery you will have very, very strong defence, much better then this build one. I only see reason to play crit flame totem as witch if you go full energy shield instead of life.

Here is almost similar build as marauder:

thanks! looking forward for this to start in 2.5 with it :)

Finally completed the Core Map with the Inquisitor Build.



I did change up the tree a little bit. I removed the 3 jewel slots (6 points) & got more life nodes. I find it helps a lot. DPS is sitting around base 175k instead of 200k.

Completed my first Tier 16 Map. Lair of the Hydra

First of all, let me start with saying thank you for putting the build together. I've just recently came back from a 2 year break I took from the game and yours is the first one I'm trying out.

I very much liked the detailed explanation which made it stand out from most of the other builds when the author only thinks of addressing the veteran players and couldn't be bothered helping newbies like myself with a lvling guide.

That being said, would you mind to give an exact skill distribution when it comes to ascendancy skills and which class to choose? I understand that the basic difference between Elementalist and Occultist is a little more survivability against more dps. It would be much appreciated.

And to finish my post with the weirdest thing that ever happened to me in a game: I just started doing Act 1 on cruel, standing around in the starter town and received a trade request. I missed it because I was busy reading trade chat when someone wrote on local that how come no one accepts his trade request when the only thing he wants is give away some currency. He traded me again, which I accepted this time and that's when the fun started. Off the top of my head I'm trying to do a summary of the currency I've received: 6 exa, 27 chaos, countless alchemy, alt and other orbs. After that they just disappeared, I didn't even have a chance to thank them.

If they ever read this post, I would like to thank them for their generosity and to make me able to buy the necessary gear for this build to enjoy it to it's full potential.

Also thank you for the author for taking his time and writing this amazing guide, you've made me a very happy player, indeed.

@ hoofart

Hey,

Rusherboy must be busy. I usually play the Occultist Class. I prefer the extra ES & one more curse.

The points I usually take are,

Energy Shield Curse Duration
Profane Bloom
Energy Shield Curse Duration
Malediction

Energy Shield, Energy Shield Recharge Rate
Wicked Ward

The last two are based on what you build. Should you decide to build a Power Charge build then you take Forbidden Power. You would need a different tree.

If you are going pure ES then you should take Vile Bastion.

My preference is to get,
Energy Shield, Energy Shield Recharge Rate after Wicked Ward
and Energy Shield, Critical Strike Chance.

Nice to hear there are some nice people still in this game. I will do my part. Catch me in the game if you are playing standard, I have a few level 21 Flame Totems gathering dust in the bank. I can send one your way.
