Good question! The duration of the curses isn't impacted. The effect of the curses is. For example, a Level 20 Flammability grants a -44% Fire Resistance modifier normally. If you have two Kikazaru rings, that modifier is reduced by 40%, or 17.6%. That takes it down to 26.4%, or 26% by PoE's rounding system. The duration of the curse stays the same though.


Ahhhh.. thanks so much for the quick reply! Then with Temporal Chain, I can lower the effect by another 40% for a total of 80%. :)


I'm not quite sure where you're getting 80% from. Each Kikazaru grants you 20% curse reduction effect, for a total of 40%. Where are you getting the other 40%?


Temporal Chain gives 40% curse reduction. But based on the wording, looks like it the enemy cursed that would give a player 40% curse reduction. So I'm probably wrong here.
Ahh, that line.

I believe that only applies in PvP. I don't think it applies when monsters cast it on you. At the very least, with two Kikazaru rings, I'm still feeling like I've been noticeably slowed down in Temp Chains maps. If it was only at 80% effectiveness, I don't think I'd notice it as much.

I'm assuming you're going with the Self-Flagellation idea from this build but not doing a Sire of Shards build here, given neither of those spells have the projectile key word. :)

To answer the question, it almost certainly will. Of course, three totems (Ancestral Bond + Soul Mantle) plus Elemental Overload and Innervate would outdamage the 4 totems with the same setup. It'll probably work out pretty alright damage-wise, but you'd get more damage from Ancestral Bond + Soul Mantle using the same gear setup.



Yes. Apologies for going off on your build here. I should probably put this in another thread. Just been kinda going around asking totem players. Had a guidie that recommended me to come here. :)

Ancestral Bond won't work with innervate since totems can't proc on hit or on kill effect. So only linking damaging skills like orb of storm in this case will get it to work.

wonder if this build still work, cause those totems looks beautiful <3 any new trees for 3.0?
The build should still work, though I think that my Flee the Fire and Knife Thrower builds have surpassed this one (same general concept, different skills).

I'll be updating the other builds for 3.0 trees shortly.
