[2.6] Milky's Righteous Fire Totems [cheap, SC/HC, Shaper, UberAtziri]

Thank you for your excellent guide, this is one of the most fun builds I've played to date. I really appreciate the work, and the detail on leveling.

I found a Titucius' Span as I was leveling, and I suppose it will eventually be less useful, but so far its ranged defense has really complimented the build.

Thank you very much!

Titicus is ok for leveling ;)

its the first totem build i have fun with

Updated MyCharacter and Gem sections.

Ye i was thinking about using 4curses, anyway thx for great build jus killed Atziri on 83lev with only 1 death. New setup is amazing but im rly mising flame dash, used for destroyin barrels.

Yesterday i got my 4th curse too, already updated it.
I used the Flamedash gem, but never the Skill :P You could swap it in for the golem.
A 5th curse is an option for me too... But it need to have Life and Dex on it or i have to upgrade my ring/gloves. Four are already really good, the 5th is a heavy investment.

Atziri is just practice ;) Gz on the kill

edit:

even more updates. If you guys have questions or suggestions i could add it in the guide ;)

I just invested 1 point for 6% reduced mana reserved so i can use chaos golem and flame dash on mana.
Thanks

would author do a curse immune map high tier? Because i see a lot of curse immune rare maps and i just dont want to chaos them. Is it viable? How fast is clearpeed.

Can you also comment on empower gem? which are most useful gems for totem damage? maybe empower gem?

Empower only increases the gemlevel of Active gems, spelltotem is a support gem and won´t get any levels of it.
For Searing Bond a lvl 3/4 Empower might work good, should be better than the burning damage gem.

I did curse immune maps in high tier, as long as you don´t have Endurance Charges or 80% Fire Resistance on the map too its fine. Monsters gain 15% resists per endu charge, which means that enemys have 125% fire resistance (75% even with EE up ;P). For Curse immune maps i swap my gear for more defence, because +1 curse items and doedres scorn are useless in that case.

What about atziri disfavour? it gives +2 to support gems which is huge right? And almost all that 6link has support gems.. vs 2 catalyst.. Which damage is gonna be higher?

It is good for dps, but 2x catalyst is stronger


Atziri Disfavour:

Totem Life 6,444 (lvl 22)
Totemlife % 111
Totem eff. 0.71
RF degen 0.5
=
totem dps 4826.8782

increased dmg% 500%
rapid decay 41%

DPS 40835.38957


2x Catalyst

Totem Life 5,312 (lvl20)
Totemlife % 111
Totem eff. 0.69
RF degen 0.5
=
totem dps 3866.8704

increased dmg 710% (2 mediocre catas with 210% ele dmg)
rapid decay 39%

DPS 43537.09383

After that we get curses, EE, shocking ground and maybe conc effect, which makes the difference even bigger.

You gain an additional 6l for searing bond, which can increase the overall dps, but you loose block and a 3l for utility.

the +2 support gems is good for spell totem and rapid decay, burning dmg gem will result in +2% inc.dmg, +2% aoe for the aoe gem. totem resist is already capped.
