[2.0][Video][UPDATE] Dual ChaosFlame Crit Totem Build

Hi

Next UPDATE!

I make my own Critical Dual Flame Totem Build with no legacy items.

BUILD 100% pure chaos damage. Items must have:


My DPS from tooltip is now: 95k (for one totem).
95k x 2(two totems) + Culling Strike + Whirling Blades = Really fast map clear.

Life: 5,1k

You must focus only on spell/fire/elemental damage on items and passives. In endgame just buy Infernal Mantle + Consuming Dark, and you got 100% Chaos Damage :)

For extra survivability I use MoM (Mind over Matter) from passive tree. For cast totems i use Energy Shield (with Eldritch Battery). I have 2k+ ES, and it's enough for MoM and spawn Totems. Eldritch Battery protects mana instead of life, so i don't lose mana when I spawn totems and receive damage (30% from mana, MoM). I lose mana only when recive chaos damage (chaos damage bypass energy shield) but it's not so often :) It needs to have one or two Hybrid/Mana Flask to recorver mana when it gets hot :). When you have less than 35% mana you take 100% more damage from spells = you die fast.

For more survability you can use Clear Mind Jewel instead of Anger aura (lower dmg but no mana reserved and extra +30% mana regen and extra gem slots :))

MUST HAVE FOR THIS BUILD: MoM + EB.

6L i use:
Flame Totem + Faster Casting + Faster Projectiles + Empower + Added Chaos Damage + Culling Strike

Empower bost your damage and Totem life!

5L: no Culling Strike/Empower

My gear:


Passive Tree (lvl 96):


Bandits:
Normal - Help Oak (40HP)
Cruel - Help Alira (+5% cast speed)
Merc - Kill all (passive skill point)

Auras:


Golem:
Flame Golem + Minion Life + Minion and Totem Elemental Resistance (I use this in my dagger with +1 fire gems)

For fast movement speed i use Whirling Blades + Faster Attack + Blood Magic + Fortify (for extra +20% physical damage reduction)
Blood Magic is necessary to not interrupting charge ES while using Whirling Blades.

Build is really good, it's easy to play, cheap and I have a lot of fun (damage is amazing, survivability is not bad). This build is easy to lvl up, i don't die so often. I can easily play all maps (82 lvl too) with all mods (seriusly all map mods). With this build you can easly kill Atziri too.

Nice build looks really fun! i might try it out for the one month league, do you have a build perhaps for somewhere in the early lvls like 40 ish? (or also some leveling suggestions)

double post deleted.

I'll give this a shot, with a mf flair added. I've never tried end game flame totems before. I've just used them to level in the past. Does Gifts From Above work with totem crits? (just tested, yes it does)

My big question is, Does it work with AoF?

Unless I'm missing something, Mind over Matter + Infernal Mantle doesn't seem like a good combination. A big hit will put you at low mana for a couple of seconds, making spells suddenly hit a lot harder while your life is still low as well. I don't know if there's some way around this, as I'd really like to play a Flame Totem build with some kind of defense.

Yes, you indeed miss something, he only uses Anger as aura which mean he does not get bellow 35% mana = no 100% increased spell dmg. taken. :)
Huge chaos degen or chaos dmg. can become a problem tho since it will also drain his mana thx to mom.

It's not nessecary to use Anger aura. You can use Jewel: Clear Mind (+60% Spell Damage, +30% Mana regen) and have 100% free mana and 2k+ Energy Shield protect mana. To faster ES recharge can use Essence Surge from passive skill tree. Chaos Damage with MoM bypass ES only when you hit, not when take damage over time (desecrated ground and poison clouds).

AoF (Avatar of Fire) not works when equipped Infernal Mantle and The Consuming Dark.

I know he has enough mana unreserved to not get to low mana, what I'm talking about is taking a semi-big hit (from whatever source - phyiscal, elemental, or chaos) putting him at low mana for a couple of seconds due to Mind over Matter. If he then gets hits by some spell damage while still at low mana and low life, the 100% increased damage taken from Infernal Mantle will turn out to be very dangerous.

Small UPDATE.
