Would you consider this a "good build" to make a fresh character in a new league intent on rushing to farm Uber Lab/Uber Atziri - Or is there a better totem build for that?

Trying to plan for next league and only tried a totem build recently with Ancestral Warchief on scion and loved it. Trying to find the right totem build for cost/to content clear and a good start to a league.

Right now debating between this and the dual crit flame totem build.
This seems more reliable but haven't tried either yet and hard to find feedback on above.

Thanks all.

I used the char last league to rush atziri with lvl 67 on day one and on day 3 (could've been day 1-2 if i would have the time to play) i ran several Vinktar Squares for the sweet high tier maps and vessels.
It requires no gear investment to deal great damage and with a minimum investment (doedres scorn + dorys catalyst) we get the best dps items possible.

The build can easily run uber lab, but its hard to control the damage in some phases to get full keys, like the leutnants. Once the totem is placed it will burn until its destroyed, runs out or is recasted. That can kill adds which should survive.
Would be the same. issue with flametotem, too.
The traps and Izaro are not the problem.

I havent run a single uber since i am not really interested and tempted to do it.
There are people that use my build to run Uber Atziri with success, but it won't be as cheesy as bladefallmines ;) If you know the encounter and are experienced with it, sure you can do uber atziri.

Dual crit flametotem inquisator is, from what ive seen, pretty strong. I havent played the build myself so i cant go into details about comparison.
RFT is, as a noncrit build, definetly cheaper and safer, since we can make a good use out of blasphemy tempchains/enfeeble.

I mean, rft can easily farm the BiS weapon himself, a flametotem guy wants a good spellcrit/spelldmg/flatdmg/multi weapon.
The same counts for slots like rings and amus, where rft can focus on life/resists while crit FT wants crit and multi on top.

invest like 1ex in a RFT build and are basically done with the gear (well you can obviously pay a mirror per itemslot on any build :p) to run most content up to t15 maps with any mapmod except maybe chain on some maps (which is dangerous on any totem or summoner build).

You could try it on any marauder/templar/witch/scion if you have a free respecc left, just use a leveled spelltotem and totemlife jewels + purity of fire to get a picture of the playstyle and damage.
The chieftain class offers great stuff for the build, but i already played rf totem before ascendancy and it works just fine ;)

i used it with lvl 38, once i got inc aoe. Area nodes are really important for the overall clearspeed but the dmg should be great even at low lvls.

Better use purity of elements + fire once you got the cruel lab, then you can drop both for blasphemy curses.

If you want big aoe faster i recommend 2x Lavianga's or a wideswing, but white sceptres are fine as well.

it gets better and better with every aoe gem lvl and aoe node ;)

but yeah, normal is painful, cruel will get better and better with each act and at the start of merc it will explode.

You have to deal damage to apply these resistance modifiers, so having Ancestral Bond allocated will prevent yourself from triggering Elemental Equilibrium

You and nearby allies deal (10 to 69)-(16 to 110) additional Fire Damage with Spells
