After having toyed around with this build a bit and having run quite a lot of maps (dual Dominus on the Palace map dropped an incredible amount of items) I would like to provide some feedback:

1. You might want to consider taking the last aura node, even if it takes some skill points to get there. Essentially this allows you to run 4 60% auras on life. Also you can get rid of all the +mana nodes. This is how my skill tree looks at level 90: http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgMBAW8HYwx9DjwOSBB_ES8RUBGWFHEXLxkuGYoajxzcHRQdqiSLJLAnCyftKPoqEyymLKcvbzLRNAo3ZjeDO-E8jj0PQqNDY0VHRnFN2FXWVw1XK1fJWPVZ81orXIpk52aebRlvnnC7cU12CHy7f8aApIFvgseDCYRIhtGIa4t6jHaPRpMnms-btZ3EnjyezaKjo_Km66cIpyunMKyqtAy1BLb3tzG4k7vWwBrB88M6xPbGnspK0iHZE9lh4Yji9-OE5CLmgeq66-7xdvPd9tr3wfno-tL7Cf5J

2. There are several auras in this build that are quite useless. Purity of Elements and Mana Reg are typically not needed by anyone in the party. However, the three damage auras, the other three purity auras as well as the ES aura, the life reg aura and the haste aura provide an incredible boost to party play. So I would think that running those 9 is far superior to the described setup.

3. Using double incinerate totem might be a really good idea. Do this with a level 1 and quality 20 incinerate and you do not need any mana reg to be able to chain cast the totem. Also you need way less mana that is not reserved.

I hope this helps my fellow aura/mf fanatics.

Nice post been looking forward to one of these.

1) So the trade off here would be 246% es in your tree for 8% aura effect and 5% reduced reserve to the 302% in my tree.. I will admit I die much less these days, but that is a good amount of ES to sacrifice.. I would have to think about it, very good feedback though.

2) Yea I dropped purity of elements and put ice on my life so I can run all 3 damage auras, you are right here, in the early phases of build I needed purity of Elements to max my res but now I am maxed with the level 20 purities.

3) So another person was suggesting using incinerate too, I gave the spell a shot a couple nights ago and I could see it working pretty well actually, I just would need to recolor my shavs which I want to be ABSOLUTELY sure that the new setup is better before I do that. The fact that the totems are a bit more squishy is the only thing I don't like, but I think that trade off is fair. Flame totem I think is a bit better for culling, but incinerate would provide reliable enough culling to I think.

Good post man your feedback is pretty much what I've ran into now that I am chain running 77/78 maps too. What is your E.S. at with 246%? I think if I got a 400ES circlet I could drop some of my ES to get that other aura cluster maybe..

EDIT:
Whats with those 4 random nodes above the templar tree in your build? Where you headed to?

I did the match and the 5% was just enough to leave me 4 HP after 4 60% auras. I made the switch but lost a lot of ES and had to pickup a +30 dex node. However, I intend on making it up by upgrading my 200ES helm to a 400ES Helm. Overall I like this setup more, good suggestions.

As for incinerate I still need to look into that.. I am not sure I am sold, the projectiles seem to be concurrent with small delays between.. as opposed to the stead stream of flame totem. I can't tell if incinerate will be much less reliable for culling or not. I Need to do testing, are you using incinerate for your setup?

I'm puzzled. So it is better to prioritize the effectiveness of Buff than to take the Totem damage in the North-West area in the passive tree? And about how many Respec points needed to make the changes?

This is the build I am running [1], I like the changes but I am not sure I like incinerate totem very much yet.. need to play it some more. It feels like it doesn't cull as well as flame totem. But I think I can live with that the mana cost is very nice, plus I don't want to RRBBGG my shavs again anytime soon :- )

I don't think you should run this version till you are 88-90, have level 20 Discipline and have a good ES helm (I Got a new 300+ es helm with 45+ rarity) because you lose a good amount of ES. Also you need ALL your purity of fire, ice, lightning maxed in order to be capped if you don't have res on helm.

That said.. we do not focus on doing damage at all, I use a level 1 incinerate at the moment and it does no damage at all. That is okay though, because some team mates gain 30-40% damage, some even have their damage doubled or more depending on the spec. They get Haste, Hatred, Anger, Wrath for DPS and they are all super strong with all the +Effect nodes. So yea, don't worry about your own dps, you are bringing more DPS to the table then any single player ever could, plus you are culling :D
