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

You need to take into account that RF Totem's doesn't penetrate, because they don't hit.
The way down is really far, so I don't know if it's worth it.

Good point about the penetration! True, they don't penetrate!

So, 71% inc fire dmg then :)


I need someone to help with the other math, how totem dmg is calculated and just make a comparison of these nodes :)

Can't wait to run this build on Friday! I just made a new toon in talisman to try out the lower levels. Hit 32 and switched over to RF totems. Definitely a different feel than fire totem, and at this level with PoF and Flammability Blasphemy, I don't have enough mana to cast searing bond.

My question is which nodes do you guys think are priority after Ancestral Bond and Totemic Mastery (Milky's lvl 32 tree)?

dual curse, holy fire, witch AOE nodes, explosive impact then life forever. then jewels later game. if HC I would skip explosive impact until later because the totem life nodes + dual curse + holy fire are more than enough DPS for a while.

So freakin' hyped to run this on Friday :D

I'll work on the numbers in around 2 hours. Very complicated. Essentially to answer your question I need to compare whether totem life is better or increased damage is better for at least 2 gearing levels.

I'm leaning towards a tree that maximises totem life though.

***Check my previous post, where I post some calculations, that is the post to consider.



It is complicated, yeah. Well, totem life has 2 advantages, kinda. Tankier and more dmg.

On the other hand, more dps is also tankier in a sense, since you kill enemies faster.

Yeah I looked at it. What those calculations didn't consider is the exact Base health of a level 20 or 21 spell totem, and the increased damage from your items. Generally the more increased damage you can get from other sources, the better it is to get more totem health just because totem health can only be from the tree.


Also, totem life is similar to a MORE multiplier while increased fire damage is an INCREASED multiplier.

I'm sorry in advance if this is a dumb question, I started playing this game on friday and I'm still a noob. Im not sure if this was answered earlier in the post but in the leveling section on the guide you say that in act 2 you need to find a 3 link scepter and use the +1 fire skills recipe on it. What color gems sockets should I be looking for and what skills do I put in those sockets?

3 linked quartz scepter so you don't have to spend currency to link it.

Best color is Red Blue Blue.

Starting off it should be Firestorm Spell Totem. Then later when Righteous Fire damage is good, it should be Righteous Fire Spell Totem Increased Area of Effect.
