Sorry for this generic / noobish question in advance. I try to look up a lot of things, but for theory or min/max questions I need to rely on the smarter among us.

My question is how good this build will be compared to the FT alternative that would take advantage of the ascendancy passive to let totems taunt. Seems like it would be far safer and easier to stack IIQ/IIR while maintaining high def.

How does this build compare alternatively? I assume the clear speed will be markedly higher if nothing else?

The taunt with Flametotem will be pretty nice, but i dont know how good they will survive tanking all the hits without totem life. RFT cant taunt with the degen, but i am currently thinking about adding it into my build for sketchy situation.

I use Blashemy+Temp chains which is a great defensive tool too that FT normally doesnt use.

I´ve played both this league, Mfed a bit with RFT and with FT, RFT had waaaay better clearspeed because its even more gearindependant than RF, but if you play in partys you cant Cull the enemys with RFT.

Overall its hard to compare, its like comparing ice nova with ice spear or caustic arrow with essence drain.

Both are fire dealing totems with totally different mechanics and playstyles.

After playing both this league i can say that i will never go back to FlameTotem again until they brick RF Totems

How hard is it to roll +1 curse on an ammy? Im thinking of just vaaling every life + some resists ammy and dropping the Doedre ring for a proper one. As bonus it means you can use 2x Timeclasps for Temp Chain maps.

According to datamined information it's a 0,62% chance to get a +1 curse implicit on an amulet. So 1 out of 150-200 amulets that are vaaled will get it.

Looking forward to trying this build out for Perandus. I was dreading doing flame totem again. Thanks for the guide!

I didn't read through the 36 pages, but I was planning to do this as CI.

Would this be a good tree for ES based?

Uff not optimized at all, ill take a look over it later ;)

I was taking a further look at Dyadus until I found this: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/274331/page/59#p10240314

Apparently, it means that only Chill done by you will apply the "debuff", so chilled ground does not work. This kinda kills the idea and you would need a reliable freezing or chilling method besides chillled ground. I am hoping to be able to test this further out sometimes since there are not a lot of info on this, and dlrr's video seem to suggest that arctic armor's chill will indeed proc the damage buff.

More testing is needed on this honestly.

Too bad that totems now can proc fire EE, i was thinking about the new enchantments that could potentially proc it but it is unclear how they work because for example Orb of Storms is considered your attack and therefore wont do any damage.

I guess its all about the new 40% more damage node. Oh the times when we used ice spears to get power charges for shockwave totems are coming back again.

Milky , I await your uber videos.

I tried (my first) uber 2 days ago

Trash - easy
Vaals - easy
Trio - zzzZz even easier
Atziri - easy
Atziri split phase - got rekt

The problem is that the totems get oneshotted before they are even placed in the splitphase... results in almost 0 damage in that phase.
This will get better with fire immune totems that have more armour and ill go for her next league again.

What surprised me was how easy the trio was, temp chains did a good job there


@zbzszzzt123

I dont think that theres any testing required if mark himself says that chilled ground does not work :/

How much totem life did you have against Uber? Guess you threw Vaal lightning trap in the split phase also. Do you think that with 140%+ totem life and lvl 21 spell totem it would make a difference?
What if you used Vaal skeletons in the split phase to make a distraction?
Would be interesting to know your setup against the Vaals also. I have been wanting to try Uber but have hesitated with it as I don't feel that the damage is quiet enough even with good gear and 146% totem life w lvl 21 spell totem. I know from experience how the Uber map just wrecks everyhing so fast, I guess that with enfeeble and temp chains it will help alot, but I am not sure if it will be enough to kill the Queen herself. If the totems just evaporate after 0,5 seconds then it's not much 2 do.
